First....I'm not sure how Claypool could be basis. Maybe a bassist, but I'll bow to you on the basis.

Second, the band never said he was too good for the band. The auditioned him with lots of others and picked the one they felt fit best...He didn't fit. For what Metallica is, Trujillo was beyond better. Claypool didn't fit, and if anyone who knows the South Park theme song thinks that it fits Metallica, then you clearly have no clue.
