Hulk Hogan wanted to join Metallica
56-year-old wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has told Chicago Tribune's "About Last Night" column that he played bass guitar in high school and that he tried to get back into music even after making it big in wrestling.

"I was in England presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's ex, and she told me THE [ROLLING] STONES were looking for a bass player," Hogan said. "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.

"When Metallica was looking for a bass player, I called and never heard a word back from them either. I would have quit wrestling in a heartbeat to be a bass player for Metallica."

Hulk Hogan was in Chicago last week to promote his autobiography, "My Life Outside The Ring".

The book is Hogan's second autobiography and offers more details on his family and childhood.

I know how you feel.

Bombfrostings, hiddenpalm, laurie_springs, and myself are the only ones on here old enough to remember GNR :( It's lonely and depressing.

As a Guns N Roses fan, I would like to thank Hulk Hogan for staying the fuck away from our band. They've got enough issues to deal with, and having a leathery ex-wrestler play their bass while his ex-con son filmed it for a reality show would not help the situation.

Seriously. He'd be the whiniest/batshit crazy member ever. Could you imagine hearing this guy do background vocals for James and shouting out "BROTHER!" OR "JABRONI!" :|

The only time he would have come in handy would have been during the riot.

The thought of him doing background vocals scares me. I can just imagine them releasing Enter Sandman and Hulk is shouting out "Jabroni!"

Wow... I'm pretty sure if he had been in Metallica they would have sucked and wouldn't have been that great of a band. Hmmm but maybe we'd still have a free Napster then.

I bet Hogan took that missing girl and is holding her until Metallica agrees to give him a tryout.

LOL. I don't think Florida's bad. In fact I'm going down in a week to visit family. But it just seems odd that often the missing children stories are out of Florida.
