Over 40 people applied for to be the replacement bassist for Metallica, but it was Jason Newsted, formerly of thrash metal outfit Flotsam and Jetsam, who eventually won. Newsted had learnt the entire Metallica setlist which some speculate gave him the edge over other applicants like Troy Gregory of Prong and Les Claypool of Primus.

- Amazing timeline!!! METALLICA RULES ALL!!!

- Page 3 - McGovney wasn\'t duly kicked out", he was only a temporary bassist and had no plans on staying with the band.
Page 6 - The name of the song is \'For Whom the Bell Tolls\'
Page 29 - The Rob contributing more quote.... Jason contributed a WHOLE lot for TBA but Robs input was more accepted by the control freaks Hetfield and Ulrich.

- Metallica suck ass

- I also like how they pretend Dave Mustaine was gone before Kill’m All was recorded.

- #10, screw you, ...And Justice For All was their best album by far! faggots.
