Hulk Hogan tried to get into Metallica?

[sonrisa salvaje]

This guy is pretty full of himself. He actually thought he had a chance.......

quote from article:

– Hulk Hogan’s claim that he hoped to pursue a music career as a bassist for legendary band Metallica, which appeared in a Chicago Tribune feature on his new book, has been picked up by some mainstream media.

Hogan noted that when he found out Metallica was looking for a bassist several years ago, he threw his name into the hat but never heard back. He had a similar story about attempting to reach out to the Rolling Stones to offer his four string services, only to get nothing in the way of a response.

“I would have quit wrestling in a heartbeat to be a bass player for Metallica,” says Hogan.

Wow, I knew fake wrestling was for idiots but come onnnn!

How freakin' delusional can you get, Hogan?

LMAO Dumbass!

That Would Be So funny To See Him Up On Stage.

Who says steroids make your balls shrink? They apparently made his grow .

You know, I could almost see him in Metallica, maybe slamming Lar$ into his bass drum as an encore.

But the Stones? No fucking way in Hell would Keith put up with that shit.

Here is another story about it:

Former wrestling star Hulk Hogan says he could have easily left the ring to join Metallica as a bass player.

Hogan, 56, (real name Terry Bollea) played bass guitar in high school and was almost on the verge of giving up fighting at the height of success if Metallica had answered his calls.

"When Metallica was looking for a bass player, I called and never heard a word back from them. I would have quit wrestling in a heartbeat to be a bass player for Metallica," Contactmusic quoted him as telling the Chicago Tribune.

Of course, he tried elsewhere too.

He said: "I was in England presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's ex, and she told me The Stones were looking for a bass player. I sent her a ton of merchandise that she asked for and said, 'Tell Mick I'm a great bass player.' I never heard a word back."

Hey, maybe he can play...

[FORD]

If he can play bass, why didn't he play on his daughter's awful record?

I'd pay to see Metallica performing with the Hulkster.

Hey, if you pay to see a train wreck, make sure it's a good one.

Cheers! :bottle:

Hulk Hogan should go on Dancing with the Stars.

He had a better moustache than Hetfield could ever dream of, Brother.

I would love to see this.

Anyhoo...I think the article might be making his rock star dreams out to be more than they are...how many people wouldn't quit their day job to be in one of their favourite/ one of the world's biggest bands? He probably said it in a more off-hand way and some clever journalist fuckhead turned it into more than it was...a la every journalist fuckhead in the world.

But think about it.

Getting Hogan in your band would be like getting Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson to play the bass.

Your band would turn into a circus where you were a sideman and your whole career would be a footnote up to the point that they joined and left.

No wonder he got no reply.

Well, the Hulkster didn't join Metallica nor the Rolling Stones, and they turned into a circus where they're the clowns, so...

Or here's a thought:

I didn't really happen, or was just done for this very reason

I know it's crazy to imagine, but after Hogan pilfered himself and his family in that poor excuse for a show, he may have needed something to gain the mainstream media's attention...

I mean...since he's gone the 'I wanna fuck my daughter' direction in the past.
