Good outreach Cliff,  my problem would be that I'm definitely no punk rocker and I'm not sure anybody else here is old enough to related to or recognize my types of music....grin.

Larry, I'm all about the old school.

Nice try Cliff. As it turns out I was very much part of the first Metallica collaboration but not the more recent one. Nor did I play on the West Side Story video. One of my favorite pieces btw, but I was playing in a music festival at the Clos Vougeot in Burgundy France that week. I’m sure I’m playing on Beethoven 9 though..

I should mention it cost me about $5k to miss the recent Metallica gig - prostate problem after anasthesia reaction to knee surgery.

Cliff, you beat me to it...I was just about to post Johnny Burnett with the Train Kept on Rolling - the Yardbirds did a great job with it too.
