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?
:42:00
So, we're gonna need
a fourth member.
:42:02
You know, we know
you're a great bass player.
:42:05
It's the vibe, you know,
we need to make sure...
:42:08
Jason kind of triggered
this whole thing a couple of years ago.
:42:12
And... I can't believe
it's been two years, you know?
:42:16
And then we've gone through some...
:42:18
We realized that we kind of wanted
somebody who was, like, our age.
:42:21
Somebody who had been around
the block a couple of times.
:42:25
- Right, right.
- We've grown a lot, man.
:42:28
The three guys in this band.
:42:32
And last time when we did this,
14, 15 years ago...
:42:38
16 years ago, I guess it was.
:42:39
We literally sat down
and started auditioning bass players,
:42:44
you know, the day
after the funeral for Cliff.
:42:47
So now it's 16 years later,
different circumstances.
:42:53
When Jason left,
he took his basses with him.
:42:58
Do you want a four or five?
