Hulk Hogan - "I Would Have Quit Wrestling In A Heartbeat To Be A Bass Player For METALLICA"

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is currently promoting his autobiography My Life Outside The Ring. According to Luis Arroyave from Chicagotribune.com, the book is Hogan’s second autobiography and offers more details on his family and childhood. Apparently the Hulkster wasn’t exactly a ladies' man in high school but could hold his own with a bass guitar. Hogan, who made good money playing high schools and fraternities with different bands, said 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.”
