James Inglis Hamilton (?-1803) was a Major General in the British Army, and Laird of Murdostoun. He was a Scot, the third son of Alexander Hamilton of Cleland. In 1719 his father inherited the estate of Murdostoun from an uncle, Alexander Inglis, and as a condition of the will added Inglis to his last name.
Brigadier General Hamilton commanded the 21st Foot (Scots Fusiliers) in the American Revolutionary War. During the Battle of Freeman's Farm he commanded the Center Column of the three groups of advancing troops. He was part of the forces surrendered after the Battle of Saratoga. While a prisoner, he adopted a son, James Anderson, who was afterward known as James Inglis Hamilton.
Hamilton was a Major General in the west Indies campaigns of the 1790s, commanding the 15th Foot. He died at his estate in Scotland on July 27, 1803 and his adopted son was his only heir.
According to Metallica vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, auditions for Cliff's replacement were held the day following his funeral, as their popularity was at an all time high, having just released Master of Puppets, an album which many in the metal community would say they have never equalled.
After confirming Jason as their new bassist, Metallica constructed a cheap studio in Hetfield's backyard, and as a way to break Jason (and the "new" Metallica) in, the band recorded Garage Days Re-Revisited.
Newsted's claimed in the film "Some Kind of Monster", that he left Metallica because of James Hetfield's controlling desire to keep everyone in Metallica, and out of side projects (like Jason's Echobrain and IR8 projects).
