Primus - Too Many Puppies

I'm not sure I would say "almost in" Les stated that it was very clear to everyone at the audition that he wasn't a good fit.

"In 2005, Claypool was asked about his audition. “I can't really remember what songs we played, but I didn't fit in, that was really obvious,” he told BP. “I believe Lars said. ‘You're not really used to this kind of music, are you?’ My first response was, goddamn, this is loud! And then I asked them if they wanted to jam on an Isley Brothers tune, just as a joke. which they didn’t think was very funny.”"
