To think he tried out for Metallica, after Burton died, and they turned him away saying "you are to good for our band"

I thinks the topic of discussion is still somewhat subjective. One who can stroke the strings faster may not indicate raw talent. I think Les puts on a good show with his unorthodox style that is anything but glam. However, He is one of the few that could/can appeal to people of Mississippi
as well as La/Hollywood (not that I care about Hollywood.)

Lastly, I hate to use this word because often it is used. But he never sold-out to commercial-> when he very easily could've.

All of the above is what makes him the best/most appealing bass player.
