The other Lester Claypool

Sign in to disble this ad
Years ago I was looking at the liner notes for an Yngwie album and saw Engineer - Lester Claypool. Naturally I assumed it was THE Les (seeing as he's pretty good on both sides of the glass) and have been inserting this anecdote into those conversations that come up now and again (Who played guitar on Bad? Who sang back up on Money for Nothing? Etc....) Well I don't know what made me think of it but I did a little google and it turns out I've been talking out of my rear end for twenty years....

Comments 5 and 6 to this article.

Who'd have guessed there are were two Lester Claypools in the music biz in Cali at the same time?

The Les we know and love is actually Leslie Edward Claypool, not Lester.
