No, he was brought in when they fired Dave Mustaine who was an original member. When I think of original members of Metallica and I think of the members who were there after Kill Em All was released so I consider Hammet an original member.
As far as Trujillo and Newsted there's alot of people who would beg to differ with you on that. Alot of people and even Metallica themselves say that Trujillo is very similar to Cliff Burton who was their original bassist until he was killed in a bus crash in Sweden. I dont know if you know this either but Trujillo did not have any part in St. Anger. He was hired after the album was finished and just before the MTV Icon show. The upcoming album is his first with the band.
