From the turbaned saxophonist Skerik and dreadlocked guitarist eenor, to the headbanging, caveman-muscled percussionist Mike Dillon (who needed no costume to appear right at home amongst the Frogs), outrageous excess is the name of the game. “I’m scared…this could be sodomy by saxophone…,” warned Claypool announcing a solo by Skerik and a sax-playing buddy who appeared for the song before vanishing back into the audience.

There was an extreme preoccupation with distinguishing himself," Smalldon says. He also had an obsession with control.
