Part-time actor Wiig, who just happens to also play drums in the Jason Newstead fronted band Papa Wheelie, is seeking unspecified damages for alleged state and federal labor violations, breach of oral contract and continuing wages. Wiig said he was paid $45,000 a year, and had an oral agreement for annual bonuses, which he did not receive in 2006 and 2008

I'm glad. He is a self-righteous twat who destroyed the mid-90s for Metallica and their albums with his **** ideas.

It was Bob Rock that pushed them into the more commercial direction though...they brought him in and he focused their ideas into something more accessible. Unless Lars was like "yo i like this lets keep doing this commercial stuff" or something, in which case you're right lol

>_> That doesn't answer my question, unless one were to have gone to link, which I hadn't, they wouldn't have known that Wiig was his personal assistant, making that small blurb you posted kind of confusing.

The point of not posting the whole thing is so that people went to the link lol. I feel like when I post the entire article it takes away from people going to that site and then getting hits or whatever.

I didn't say to post the whole article, but the small section you did post didn't say anything about Ulrich employing him, just that he was getting sued.

Unfortunately, he agreed with it. Lars was the one who wanted the **** drum sounds, which were horrible!
