:40:01
Yeah, they're on the phone
and they need you now.
:40:03
Oh, OK.
:40:06
- James Hetfield is in the room.
- Hey, there.
:40:08
- Hey, James, how you doin'?
- Pretty good.
:40:11
I'm goin' to let Marc do the talkin' here,
because Marc was the one
:40:15
who's been talking to MTV.
:40:17
OK, so, this afternoon
the official offer came in for lCON.
:40:23
- Assuming you want to do it.
- Let's do it.
:40:26
- Cool, man. Yeah, I'm jazzed about it.
- Right.
:40:30
The only thing that you guys
are required to do
:40:32
is show up for rehearsal and
then show up for the show on the 3rd,
:40:38
and at the end of the show you guys
take the stage and perform a little bit.
:40:43
- So what's Jason's role in all this?
- What? Who?
:40:47
OK, fine, I mean...
But I don't think Jason has any role.
:40:51
He lost his icon status
when he left Metallica.
:40:57
- Nice one, Cliff.
- Thank you.
:41:00
l think MTV would like the fact
that this would most likely be
:41:04
the introductory performance
of Metallica with a new bass player,
:41:09
whether it's the new member
or whoever.
:41:10
- When is this supposed to be? May what?
- May 3rd. Saturday, May 3rd.
:41:17
That means you'd have to
hire someone by the 2nd.
:41:20
- OK.
- I think it can happen.
:41:23
You'd be required to be in Los Angeles
for all of two days...
:41:26
Because we didn't get a new bass player,
l think a lot of people thought
:41:30
maybe that we were
having trouble finding one.
:41:33
We never started looking for a new
bass player until two months ago.
:41:38
We worked on ourselves,
identified what part can we work on,
:41:45
so when someone else steps in,
it's clean.
:41:49
They're not stepping in our shit,
you know?
:41:57
All right, thinkin' about
bass players, finally?
