Cliff 'em All

Metallica fans may be interested to know that the band is finally getting around to replacing Jason Newsted (or Jasonic rather). Kirk, James, and Lars are currently auditioning bass players to occupy the lower frequencies on the band's next tour (which will probably occur this summer in conjunction with the next album's release). Producer Bob Rock is handling bass duties on the yet unnamed album. The band isn't giving any hints as to who they might be considering for the honor, but Mike Inez (from Alice in Chains and Ozzy Osbourne's band) has been rumored to be in the running.
