A few days ago Dave Mustaine (Ex member of Metallica, now Megadeth) posted on megadeth.com that Lars Ulrich had called his management twice to get his private phone number. Today he had the following message up instead.
Droogies!
We were given some misinformation as to which member of Metallica was looking for me. Sorry to get your hopes up but I will not be saying anything about who called or the conversation.
Please understand.
Mustaine sez,
GOODBYE DROOGIES!
My guess is that James called from the rehab to say hello. See also Daves previous post about James and Metallica here
