More Primus (w/ background info)

Here's some boring background info to this clip:

After Cliff Burton, Metallica's original bassist who happened to go to the same high school as my mom, was killed when he fell out of and then was trapped under a bus, Metallica held auditions for replacements. Apparently, among the finalists was Les Claypool. Finally, the members of Metallica decided against him, claiming: "He's got his own thing goin,'" which was their way of saying this guy is scary good. Anyway, they instead chose some guy named Jason Newstead who was pretty plain. He later left the band. Claypool, very disappointed, decided to get his own thing goin' and created Primus, which as these clips have shown, is nearly unlistenable, but amazing. In any case, Primus has done a few covers of Metallica songs, but they're very hard to find. One such is the following. Here, we get a glimpse of what Metallica could have been if they were a little more open-minded with Primus' rendition of the intro to Master of Puppets...enjoy.
