Right. Les Claypool was also in the progressive speed metal band Blind Illusion with Larry LaLonde prior to Primus. Before that Metallica turned Les down when he auditioned to replace Cliff Burton. As a result Flotsam and Jetsam was ruined by the loss of Jason Newsted so he could waste his time in corporate rock. Kind of like when Ministry ruined Rigor Mortis by stealing Mike Scaccia.
