Just wondering why John Marshall was removed from.the touring members section. His rhythm guitar contributions are well known, as mentioned in this article and this article, and some videos on YouTube which can't be used for obvious reasons. Mewhen123 (talk) 09:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. He filled in for Hetfield on two separate tours, and they even played with him at the 30th anniversary concert, so even the band themselves probably considers him a former touring member. Inbloom1997 (talk) 12:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add Damian C. Phillips to former member list/timeline (April 23, 1982-May 25 1982) https://www.metallica.com/museum/orion-a-tribute-to-cliff-burton/in-print/lars-metallica-timeline-1982-1987-orion-a-tribute-to-cliff-burton-artifact.html https://ultimateclassicrock.com/metallica-brad-parker-show/ Inbloom1997 (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done – he played one show with them, not even in the same boat; same goes for other guys who have been discussed previously like Grant and Marshall. 4TheWynne (talk • contribs) 14:31, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
