For Whom The Ring Bell Tolls . . .
Evidently, Hulk Hogan attempted an audition for Metallica after the death of Cliff Burton. I knew the Hulkster was a bassist once upon a time, but I never knew he had such aspirations, even as his pro wrestling career was at its height. Evidently, he was never considered, and life as we know it unfolded. The big question is, even after all of the surgeries and injuries, which lifestyle would really have been rougher on him? And how would “Say your prayers and take your vitamins!” have gone over with the Alcoholica crowd? And, given the Hulkster’s (albeit fake) brawling tendencies, would they have mixed the bass out of “. . . And Justice For All” like they did with Jason Newsted?
