The scene in the movie where they audition bass players was pretty cool, anyone see it. It was cool to see and hear the different styles. The only thing is that they should have spent more time (IMO) showing the different bassists.
After seeing that scene there is no question, that Robert was the best choice. Doesn't Pepper Keenen play guitar? He also tried out. Anyone else see it? |

| | | | One of them, I think Twigy Ramirez played the intro to 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' wrong.
Graeme
EDIT: They should have made that woman who played 'Seek & Destroy' their new bass player. |

I'm not a huge fan of their music, but Rob surely got a powerful tone! I'm looking forward to hearing his new stuff with Metallica. Will he be allowed to shine trough? Because playing their old stuff he will never really be able to put that much into it.
And yeah, I am indeed an old Metallica fan!
I still feel they are/was top notch songwriters. But each to his own, I guess. |

Danny Lohner was previously a yes-man for Trent Reznor.
Both are now out of work. |

It turned into a Maynard side project, which Billy resented since it was his project in the first place. |

| | | | Ya I'd like to hear more from Billy.Oh and Zod rules Ben!!!

Rob is the man. He is one of the best players out there. I don't quite dig his technique but he is a fierce player nonetheless. |

Trujillo is the guy who made me throw away all of my picks. I used to be a kid who used picks for fast stuff because I was lazy, but after watching Rob, I won't EVER touch a pick.
YAY FOR ROB!

the only thing that struck we funny about the auditions was that, IMO, all the people's tones were the same or just really bad. but o well...
