Metallica? Well, I won't get into them since we all know how I feel about the posers. In any event; when they were auditioning bass players to take Cliff Burton's place, there was a famous bass player who auditioned but didn't get the job because the remaining three thought he was too good of a player for them. Can you name this bass player?

Not a bass player, so will leave the answer to them. I'm surrounded by people who like his band (Or former band. Don't know if they're still together).

Yes...can't wait for this show. Bass, Drums, and cello will be interesting to say the least.
