2002.12.2
Why the lack of updates?
Is it on? It's on.And I know how to work this thing
Hi, I'm Lars.um Metallica, what? It's good, good start.Accurate so far?
Yeah.OK, it's December 2. That's accurate, right?
10:49 in the... third...thirty...what? It's not a third.
Mine is 31st，it's screwy, yeah, it's screwy, it's a free watch
Um ten no. 12:49 in the PM.
That's a Pacific standard time, right?
That's accurate, right? So it's all good.Right?
Right. There you go. We'll see you later.
Take care. I'll be more update soon.
Nice one.
Yeah. By the way, we are trying out our bass players.
OK Bye.
That's good, right? Yeah, we had, should we talked more about it.
We had one in last week.
We're having another one this week,
and then another one the next, and the next
and we'll see how many weeks it takes.
So we're entertaining base players
entertaining them, and they're entertaining us.
Hopefully. We were entertaining the thought of getting base players, and now we're actually doing it.
They are entertaining us with their chops
and we are entertaining them with our cycle battle, right?
Yeah, convincing them that we'll get our sh*t together
I suppose, I suppose, I suppose.（and myself）
Now you want names, right?
Guess who the new bass player is.
GUESS. Who the new base player is?
1st guy who came into the door was.
The next guy was coming on Thursday, his name is.
And the 3rd guy is is Rudy Sarzo, yeah, yeah right？
Nil Murray, brother of Dave Murray, from Iron Maiden.
And then Keanu reeves, alright
And then um
So we're not going to get the new names，Do we get any numbers?
You just got SOME！
And then, Gary, here's one for
Here's a true one. And then Gary Thain from Uriah Heep .
Let's see if anybody spots in accuracy in that one.
He was in Rainbow. That was Bob Daisley, no no Gary Thain
Now, everybody thinks that we're just being stupid, right?
Which we are.
yeah, it was kind of uncomfortable.
We want people to know that we're trying bass players up
but we don't want people to freak out and know
Hah hah, yeah,you know what I mean
don't you?
Well, I think part of the reason, for serious no
part of the reason that
there was a lack of updates last week on the its board,
was that,um,to be honest with you, we were kind of
a little sure about how to handle it, because
Nicholas didn't want to put, you know,
it's Monday morning, and they're down their auditioning base players,
because we didn't want to like, lie, um, no, wait, that came out wrong.
But the opposite, there was just another normal day at at HQ, excuse me, at the metal factory.
And so that was sort of going on for a couple days last week, and we didn't really know, because obviously, out of respect to the people who have come through the door, we don't feel that it's our a place to break that news who they are, but we don't want to, you know, basically part of these Verlago updates was that that was kind of going on, and we didn't really know how to handle that.
So there go cats out of the bag.
So when they're a guy from Sticks shows anyway, I'll tell you how nothing.
I'll tell him what the new base player is.
New base players. New per Can you be serious?
Do I look like I'm being silly?
He plays drums. Someone there. Tell him that we don't need a drummer.
We got one. Oh, that's neat.
We don't. Thank you. So we also had the daughter, come on, girls.
So we are excited. We are excited jamming with people, getting a vibe with them.
The vibe is most important. We know the people weve got on our list can play.
And it's very important that we, our personalities vibe, and that this person is going to be around for a long time.
We don't want, we don't want
just someone coming in and being gone and, you know, we don't like the revolving door.
We don't want rent a base player.
We
don't want mercenaries. We want somebody that we can be proud to say to you guys and to the rest
of the universe. This guy is in metallic and he's a brother, and he's part of the team.
And not only or sister, sister, of course.
And and also somebody who can give us some strength, you know.
And okay, because somebody who can give us some strength, right, and help us when we have to reintroduce ourselves, right?
I'm serious. We need strike, ma'am.
We need someone, yeah, someone who can add a dimension, not just hang out, someone can add not just a track.
OK, bye. And wait, wait, anything else?
Really? Today's Monday. Need the new base player, but it's called Jimmy Bain.
What is it to you? People don't even know Jimmy Baine is.
There was a post over the weekend, I was checking, like, guys talking about less clay pool, and then light dude went like, who's less clay pool?
Sure, other than that, the metals alive and well, here in the metal factory, we had four days off of Thanksgiving, so that was nice.
And I got two weeks here.
And we're going to meddle it out, right?
Super super metal allow one day.
We're going to come up with newer and different ways to say the same shit.
Right? What are you guys doing?
I don't just know, making metal.
The metal Factory. We're having recording sessions.
What are you doing? We're having recording sessions.
Don't bother us. We are having recording base player sessions.
Some cool things. I mean, what have we got seven songs now that we feel are a triple plaza.
So we got a couple more on that.
So up to seven. Now, killer Peter Clipper Managers are coming out tomorrow, and we started talking about next year, and started looking at some different ideas about touring, and some starting to put some dates in some calendar grids for next year, which is part of the reason that we have started the base player thing.
There ain't going to do a lot of torn without a proper base player.
And we kind of realized that if we were going to not start the base player thing till the record was done, we might end up in the situation like we usually do, where there are three weeks between the end of the record and the beginning of the tour, and then you might end up in a really stupid pressure situation.
Will try to get some guy, and you don't have a lot of time.
That's why we started now. And that's it.
We're having the HQ bowling party on Thursday, right?
Boy. Can't wait for that. I-I went sneak practicing on on Saturday.
I bowled 01:32, which is good, right?
That's very good. That's good. That's very good, right.
MHM. But is that your average, or is that your high game?
Well, I don't have an average because I don't actually bowl.
So that was what I did.
This is a base player of Raven John Gallery.
OK, is he related to Leo?
No, I don't know, but John Gallagher is not the guy who's going to be our base place.
Just be sincere. Can you be Sincere?
Was that? That was very sincere.
I gave them a truth. And amidst all the I'm a queen all the time, and acting, it was like kind of like, it's always like, he's on when the camera is on, it's like he becomes like a drama queen, right?
Stop acting. Just be my the one who, like, cries for the camera.
Aren't you? Tell me? Am I what do you know?
I'm not. That's all I'm saying.
Just to go back to the base player.
How long would when did you get start talking?
1986, stopping. That's a truth. It's so interesting.
How was I sincere? I mean, good fun around It can be more specific.
It was two weeks ago. OK, here's what happened.
I'll give you the short version of the story.
We were looking at some t-shirt designs.
Now, some t-shirt, some artwork for some t-shirt things.
And on one of them was a kind of a tattoo kind of a thing, and it had three cards on it, and it had L-U-J-H and K-H on it.
And we were sitting there, around that table over there, and we were like, is it kind of silly to have, like, all this merchandise
with just three of us? And then we started talking about base players,
and the whole thing was
sort of just, it opened up this whole big thing, because we have specifically wanted to keep the base player thing
off the agenda till the record was over.
Then we realized we might shoot ourselves in the foot, so we start talking about it.
And now a bunch of cats are coming in and auditioning.
May you go? No, not additioning.
That's stupid. We're not doing like cattle politicians.
We got some guys that are coming in that we know, all of them, like James saying, it's not particularly, you know, they can all do the gig in terms of the ability.
It's more about, like, what the vibe and if we can hang with them.
Basically, you need to find out if there is pimp as we are.
The bottom line be somewhat sincere.
How much more sincere? So another question.
We won't obviously get names of these people until you guys are comfortable with that.
Why? To me, it's not even, I mean, look, I have no problems telling I'm not keeping any secrets.
I just don't think it's fair to them.
I'll tell you, if they want to, what are you going to come up with?
Some like other cheesy, seventies based player guy now that nobody knows about, I tell you, it's not right, and it's not fair for any any of us to disclose who those base players are, because that puts undue pressure on them in somehow, some way.
And also, we don't want to give more fuel to the rumor mill, because I'm sure that anyone we name what we've seen as a reflection on us and what we're doing at this moment.
And I don't want to hear that.
You tell us how many you guys Are many people?
Come on.
