In 1986, after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, Claypool auditioned to play bass for Metallica. It is rumored that his failure to obtain the position was due to his style being "too funky". In Metallica's Behind the Music, Claypool said that during the audition he wanted the others to "jam on some Isley Brothers tunes", after Lars Ulrich asked whether he's "not really used to playing this kind of music". James Hetfield remarked jokingly that Claypool didn't win the job because "he was too good."
