yeah it was on behind the music where they talked about les auditioning for metallica, les said he went in there joking about jamming on some isley brothers, they thought he was strange. les said something about going home and weeping like a baby when they turned him down. and james hetfield said something about he's too good, he's got his own thing |

It'd be good to see Les rocking out again - personally, I can take or leave his post-Primus projects. |
