Les Clayphreak

Les Claypool auditioned for Metallica in ’86, but didn’t get the gig (obviously). In an interview on “Behind The Music,” James Hetfield said the reason was that Les was too good and had to ‘do his own thing.’

But now, the mystery nobody gave a crap about has been solved in a recent interview. The real reason was… THEY THOUGHT HE WAS TEH FREAK!111

I mean James said on VH1 Behind the Music that I was just too good, but ah, he and I were hanging out quite a bit during that time when they did the VH1 interview. And I said, ‘What the hell are you guys talking about, you didn’t want me, you thought I was a freak!’ And he just laughed. said Les while crying…

I mean, for fuck’s sake… Les Claypool? A freak? Nooooo way… No freaking way… Why would you say that? I mean, look at the photo above, does that look like a freak to you? Come on!!!  No… Just, no… Bullshit James, bullshit.

When asked what his reaction was back in ’86, Les answered “I know you are but what am I?”
