They did choose rob over claypool yes.

When Newsted quit Claypool offered to join Metallica because he is one of Kirk's best friends. They said no most likely because he is too good for them.

What the hell?

Who's claypool?

Dude, they chose Rob over Claypool almost three years ago... have you been on earth lately?

I saw SKOM last night :\ Didn't like the whole positive influence bull****, and Hammett and Hetfield playing Gibson :X

Anywho...I'm obsessed with the song And Justice For All.

Your one of many obcessed with the song AJFA, Great song if you ask me!, I have accually just learned the intro to it, Its pretty easy....
So to all the guitarists out there!!! A drummer here can play it! :thumb:

Yeah, I learned all of One the past week. Great song for leads.

Funny how almost my favorite songs on MoP,RTL,AJFL are the self-titleds :P

But, I think I almost like The Call of the Ktulu or For Whom The Bell Tolls better than RTL.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]Any news on the next album?[/QUOTE]

Its all the same really.. They are 100% definatly starting recording their next album January 06 :upset:
They have some song ideas written down...

I have a source that speaks regulary with Lars Ulrich!! His name is Jaymez (Nickname anyways.. His real name is Tiernan, I think I spelt it right, and hes from Beatallica.. The lead singer

[QUOTE=Med57]Les Claypool offered to join Metallica? I never knew that...their sound with him in the band would be so different than anything so far, I'm willing to bet. He's definitely far more inventive than most bassists out there, although how that would go with Metallica's music to date might not be so good. I'd like to see it though, just to see if they could reinvent themselves successfully after some really mediocre albums. If anyone could help do it, Claypool would be near the top of the list...[/QUOTE]

wow you haven't posted here in how many years? :lol:

Yea, they tried out Claypool and a couple of other pretty good bassists. Check out SKOM, it goes thru their tryouts

I thought they'd be starting it earlier. I bet were going to wait for ages for it to come out now. :angry:

Yes, I agree the wait is a pain in the ***, But hopefully, It will all be worth the wait, Rob has already proven he is worthy of some good material!

but will rob help write the songs or will hetfeild and ulrich kinda take over again?

Well James and Lars always write the songs often with Kirk and/or whichever bassist and the whole band partook on St. Anger, I personally think Robzilla will write some stuff on this album.

Rob already said that him and metallica already have a lot of material for the next album, maybe is gonna be a double disc album.

That would be so awesome...I think Puppets/Lightning were let down by the fact that there were only 8 songs on them.

I think I read somewhere that when Cliff died Claypool asked if he could join, but one of the guys basically said "You're way too good for us", but I dunno, maybe I was just trpping.

Yeah, it was either right after Cliff died or during the tryouts for Cliff's replacement that Claypool offered to join and they said basically that he was too good for them.
