The former Metallica bassist tells UCR the reason he still feels he has something to prove to his fans.

They'll alternate between headlining dates and opening for Blackberry Smoke.

Bassist argues band’s sound was Hetfield and Ulrich's, with two others to "embellish."

Raised on a farm, the bassist's life changed when a classmate introduced him to the music of Kiss.

Bassist was warned off side projects long before he quit over feeling artistically limited.

Former Metallica bassist “really, really not happy” after press chat didn’t go to plan.

"There's nobody that can top it, so how do you show it honor?" bassist said.

But in a good way.

Former bassist says spending spree period was "inevitable" and recalls how it ended.

Bassist will never forget reaction from predecessor Cliff Burton’s mom.
