Lfalex v1.1 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 According to the "next" video that appeared, Les Claypool auditioned for Metallica. That must've been something, not that they'd make a particularly good fit for each other. He'd leave Lars for dead if he got over-excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The little jam at the end was good. Nice to see Trujillo displaying his funky side. I was a big Suicidal Tendencies fan in the early 90s, I think in many ways he had better opportunities to show off all sides of his playing with them than he has had or is likely to ever get with Metallica. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Infectious Grooves to see how insanely talented he is 😎 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember listening to their first album in the 6th form common room. Time to give it a proper listen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Trujillo could also leave Lars in his dust if he wanted too. You never know- Les Claypool might have got the gig and done the job fine, if he hadn't have asked them to jam on some Isley Brothers tunes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, he auditioned for them after Cliff died, on request from his old school pal... Kirk Hammet He was in a band called Blind Illusion before forming Primus with the guitarist from Possessed (Larry LaLonde). Loved Trujillo's spaghetti western style bad lip syncing.

I was a medium-sized fanatic, until I saw them perform at home in Venice Beach. As I've gotten older I've grown into a larger fanatic, but it's not because I'm tall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Love a bit of Suicidal ever since seeing them on the 4 band Clash of the Titans in Wembley- RT has been a beast for years. Reminds me of the very incongruous site of Mad Mike Muir walking down Colchester High Street with a couple of M&S carrier bags. Think he'd been and bought sarnies...

Crawford13 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just watched the video, and as a huge claypool fan, it's just exactly what you would expect, left field strangeness. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
