I've posted this before: Jason saved the band twice: once 1986 by stepping in for Cliff, and again in 2001 by leaving and forcing the rest of them to look inward.
We’ll said Michael. I love Newsted 😊
@@PreviouslyFrozenStudios77 thank you!
@@mattrodgers2911 thanks. Me too!
Oh wow, great comment.
The albums Newsted made are incredible!!
I can’t imagine him having a hit band like that and then papa The Cowardly Lion said “no , kid. That would hurt our profit”
Like he put it in his tell all interview “I was disrespected the most, by the person I admired the most”
I think it was a “screw this, I’m done with all of it!” Moment.
Realizing he couldn’t keep begging these 2 narcissists ( Lars and Het) for some creative input. It was easier just to create your own band and he did it amazingly. However you don’t know much about it cause Metallica didn’t want you listening to Newsted instead of Metallica in Spotify $$$ it hurts their bottom line 😂😂
He literally shut Newsted down by threatening the label He wouldn’t work with the label anymore if they promoted Newsted!!
What an a hole!!! What a baby to throw a temper tantrum like that.
In other words... Jason was too good for them and they didn't even knew it. Now they do.
Pretty much
well said.
Amen!
Jason 👍
How could they? They were in their early 20s, grieving over a death of a dear friend and didn´t know how to deal with that pain. Of course they didn't want him. Jason was a stranger, he wasn´t their friend and he didn't belong to Metallica so short after Cliffs´ death.
Hard to deal for them with this situation and given to their young age, however, they somehow managed to carry on!
Rob’s sitting there, taking notes on what to watch out for…
"Damn these guys would back stab me faster than a fart."
lol i had this thought to myself too, that's funnny
Man!! What a huge MONSTER turn around for real…Lars nailed exactly what I was thinking when Jason left. I remember saying how bad are things going in Metallica that this guy who’s dreams came true who not only loved Metallica but looked up to Cliff B and lost it when he heard the news of his death just up and quit his dream job? He never quit because of all the hazing or pranks or when the other three charged everything to his room it was pretty bad but Jason didn’t care but when they clipped his creative wings and forced him into a box and basically told him to just be thankful you’re playing with us no matter what who wouldn’t leave? He made enough money with them to be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life so why not?…to hear how much these guys have grown to look back and say “if Robert suddenly wanted to quit we’d fight for him” and in retrospect they should’ve fought for Jason?…that is some serious growth internally.
I feel Jason is gonna return in the near future. I don't know as Rob wants to be in Metallica as the "full time bassist."
@@MikelBrownSchilling At this point, I don't see Jason would want to. All he wanted was a closure. To be fair, Rob was also exactly what Jason was after Cliff - the guy who glued the band at times when the patch was really really rough for them. And to this date, Rob is the longest serving bassist in the band. Unless, yeah, it goes like you said, Rob surprisingly wanted to leave the band to retire and give way to Jason. That could be a good resolve for a story.
Jason was a criminally underrated and underutilized bassist. I can only imagine how much more Metallica's music would have been if his creative contributions wouldn't have been stifled. I miss Jason, not diminishing Cliff or Rob but Jason was my favorite.
His backing vocals are incredible as well. His energy was infectious \m/
💯
Underrated by who? 😂😂😂
Not "just" playing, and backing vocals, his stage presence and energy were perfect for the biggest era of Metallica. No disrespect attended, but Rob's stage presence, and backing vocals...that does not work for me.
Jason is definitely my favorite Metallica basis. Like you said, his backing vocals energy are sorely missed.
He was only underrated by James and Lars. People need to stop abusing this word.
Wow. Pretty eye opening. James and Lars have matured enough to admit they were wrong in how they treated Jason, at the beginning and when he left the band. You can really hear how much Kirk appreciates and loves Jason.
Actually they didn‘t admit they were wrong.
"It happened because it happened." "I didn't even know there was a fight." - James
He's not taking any accountability here at all. This is a pathetic display from the supposedly enlightened Hetfield. Jason made it very clear that he felt very disrespected by James during the whole ordeal.
@@justinatest9456 Exactly! Really sad to see this and even sadder that so many fans think how mature und reflective they are. Not really the case. The best comments come from Kirk.
@@justinatest9456 He said he "didn’t know about the fight" ( as in fighting for Jason to stay in the band). Put the glue aside and try to actually listen
Lars can’t hide his Napster eyes. Boo hoo hoo… He will always be a bitch because of that.
Jason was there when Metallica needed him...yet Metallica wasn't there when Jason needed them.
Sad but true...
hey hey..
@@JBjopa8 You read my mind.
@@kamilziemian995 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Metallica is done
Jason is a true force of nature, pure energy, pure metal!
"We love you, we hate you, we love you, we hate you!" Kirk hit the nail on the head there!
I think that's why the Some Kind of Monster documentary is so important for not only Metallica, but bands and relationships in general. They were so guarded, and closed off emotionally, and put up such thick walls between eachother that they inevitably disintegrated because they simply couldn't let anyone in on their turmoil. They covered it up TOO well in interviews and public appearances. It was all a show. The band was falling apart for years and no one knew. SKOM kind of broke those barriers down and showed people it's ok to have these necessary conversations.
Said beautifully
I think it was too revealing. It's better that a band have some mystique, and there's no worse way to destroy it than to bring the cameras into a therapy session. Especially when the therapist seems more interested in seeing how long he can milk it, than creating any true psychological breakthroughs within the band.
@@sirchromiumdowns2015 exactly! Since I am not a fan I don‘t mind but for a true fan it must be heartbreaking.
Totally
@@sirchromiumdowns2015 I agree with you but you also see the band come to that very realazation and move past it knowing that with the new tools they've been provided they can now make things work. I think its an important music documentary because it really does show the toll being a rockstar can put on a person as well as those around them.
Jason saved metallica. Thanx Jazzzzzon
5:15 "We love you, but you're not Cliff."
- James Hetfield
That really was it in a nutshell.
@Salman Then you're there, too! I don't see you on my videos, though. 😁🤔
@@delinquent-bikergangmangafan We've all been stalking Mikey for years. It's natural.
There is an insane amount of pain and disappointment in their body language as they talk about Jason in this manner. James sums it up in a very deep way. They wanted Cliff. Instead they had this kid who was playing their friends parts. Jason was the "replacement" for Cliff, but there is no replacing him. So these angry little boys have to keep playing music they wrote with their friend who is no longer living. They had to relive so many things over and over everyday for years. And the whole time, there's Jason in a Cliff tee shirt reminding them of what they used to have. Jason saved the band and probably the lives of the other three. They could've wound up broke, and with drug habits. They could have brought in the wrong person, and that guy could've have ruined them...there are so many different ways it could have ended. Jason prevented all of that. He held them together, and let them heal at their own pace. And when he left, it forced them to look at reality and change things before it killed them all.
Now that they realized Jason was a driving force for the band, will they remix AJFA at last ? It would be a mark of respect for Jason AND fans..
I seriously doubt it. I think they're pretty firm on their stance that it was a time capsule that probably shouldn't be messed with. There are so many fan-made ones now anyway that at this stage in their career it probably would be too much of a back-peddle. But hey, we can always hope.
if they didn't do it for the 30th anniversary re-issue, its evident that it will never happen
They should to show their gratitude towards Jason!.
Remixing won't fix a damn thing, the bass got buried because It wasn't good enough, It just doubled James Guitar and the time was not correct for the álbum, therefore It doesn't Matter if they have the máster tapes, It won't fix the reason why It happend... Now, if they ask Jason to do It again all this years later, that might do
If you listen to the "Rough Mixes" on the Justice anniversary, you notice Jason's bass can be heard on ALL of the songs. So that's a glimpse of what it would sound like
Jason was a beast live
Jason is always the embodiment of old school Metallica. Intense, all about the music, and putting it all out there. The band doesn't have the fire like it used to when they had Jason.
They've also gotten older
@@pnut3844able Sober* A lot of their antics were substance fueled.
@@rubymeaddle Exactly! That makes more sense now. It is missing that reckless attitude of I don't give a f attitude they used to have in the 80s
These guys don’t realize that Newsted was the best thing to ever happen to them and Metallica as a whole.
Damn right and this EGO thing is what's broken the magic that was here with him in the band.
Uh, did you watch the video? They just spent the whole time admitting their fault in how it went down. They absolutely realize it.
@@tedbertier9454 - did watch the video. Do you believe that or are they just trying to make good ?
Especially AJFA and black album giving Metallica more exposure in the music world.
Jason helped drive Metallica where it was trying to go. Lars and James were obviously the initial creative force behind the music but Jason really pushed their idea with whatever control he was given. Sometimes you don't always get full control over bettering something so you gotta accept that your placed where you are with certain buttons and controls and Jason didn't let that slow him down, he went 100% with the buttons he was allowed to push in Metallica. He was pedal to the metal with what little control he had. Of course he tried to push further but never got to escape from that box they'd put him in. But in that box he still made all the noise he could with full energy and love.
Jason was like a fan, like one of us. They treat him like trash, he leaves and THEN they are suddenly about allowing everyone's creative input. Kirk knew at the time it was wrong but couldn't really do anything as it's Lars and James who make all the decisions.
When I watched Flotsam and Jetsam. I can 100% attest that he is exactly like what they say Jason is. Always 110% into the band. Always the first one in and last one to leave. Signing autographs, always taking time with anyone who wants to talk to him. Newsted can never get enough credit for what he helped Metallica stay alive.
I really thought Jason was, 'it' after Cliff died, and was shocked when he's left the band, and what caused him to want to leave.
I was just as surprised when they picked Rob for his replacement too.
Rob's a great bassist, but he was like rent a bassist at that point, he'd been a part of so many bands!
But, I completely understand WHY they chose Rob too. I honestly thought he would be temporary, but here we are, 20 years later, and he's still here.
I don't think I'll ever completely understand Rob! :D But hey, he's the man and he inspired me to start playing bass without a pick. And if Met are happy with him, then my job is to friggin' deal with it. But having that said, who else would it even be. It's crazy that even after 20 years I'm like "oh, the new bassist". It's really stupid.
When you come to think of it, Robert is in certain ways like Jason. He's his own kind of a beast onstage. Maybe a tad goofier person... but I somehow feel 72 is his album. He instigated it. I must be imagining things but I somehow feel he had his hands on everything about it.
Rob was with Ozzy full time before joining Metallica
He's still there cuz Mexicans don't quit a good job.
People mention the Some kind of monster movie…. But what you really have to do is look at the second half of the “Year and a Half in the Life of” the covered touring in support of the black Album to get a taste of the abuse Jason endured
5:14 hearing James say “we love you but you’re not cliff” is just heartbreaking
Jason brought more groove to the table than Rob has
Always. He was a better fit for the band as a whole
i think precisely the reverse, Rob is the groove. Jason was TONIC
@@montex23 i always thought Jason contributed very groovy basslines- even in AJFA, with the bass louder, it really adds a different dynamic to the listening.
Different style
Jaaon is Toxic in metallica... Extreme enrrgy produce by jason.
This is actually amazing to hear them say these great things about Jason.
Dont know what you got until it is gone. I hope these guys regret their actions for the rest of their lives. Their fragile egos could not let them truly accept Jason and give him the respect that he truly deserved. Neither of them are better off without each other and in the end, everyone lost.
The jason era is my fav Metallica Era. He made them sound awesome. The energy he gave onstage was EPIC
He will always be missed !!!!!!!
James Hetfield gave Jason Newsted an ultimatum. It was about the "Echobrain" band Jason was playing with on the side. Hetfield didn't like that at all and basically told Jason it's either all or nothing with you playing for Metallica. No side projects, no merchandise selling, no Echobrain, nothing! So Jason left. Jason actually said this in a interview.
This is common knowledge dude
@@khall187 Not as common as you think. Stop being an egghead.
And It was on Cliffs anniversary of his death and James was drunk whilst he insulted Jason with that. Jason said it was that moment that he decided to leave as he was so disrespected to be talked to that way by someone younger than himself.
@@boxinggospel5334 Yes. You are right. Newsted didn't like the age factor.
@@boxinggospel5334 Yep!
They definitely became a less interesting band after Jason departed. Even from a musical point of view. Should have let him contribute more.
I don’t agree with your point. Metallica last 3 albums are great.
@@DovahVokuna Those last three albums are not up to their usual standard though. Death Magnetic was a good album but the others are fair/poor.
@@pennywise146 for you Maby. I listen to them more then the old albums
@@DovahVokuna You poor thing…you have my sympathies.
Good point
They should have appreciated him when he was in the band!
They sought Cliff in him
Still not hearing a solid and genuine "sorry" from their mouths for Jason. Their stories and appreciation now, sound like an effort to explain why they were assholes to him...and that's all becasue of public backlash. You cannot use the 'Cliff' excuse for 15 years and bash someone up for so long, that's weak.
They have moved on, Jason has moved on, no bad blood.
Why don't you move on?
Spot on!! Correct analysis!!
@@Thorcooper1dude, it's just a comment on a TH-cam video!! A correct one, btw. Chill!!
@@thiagoborges892 lol
I have such a triumphant feeling after watching this. Triumphant for Jason, triumphant for Metallica finally realizing what Jason gave for/to them, and triumphant for their legacy because it takes a big person to publicly admit screwing up majorly. I was hesitant at first for the sincerity of it, but after watching, I really do believe them. They have the Cinderella syndrome....... Don't know what is got, till it's gone.
Much respect for Jason Newstead. I saw Metallica on the “and Justice for all” tour, and they were awesome! Jason’s energy and musicianship helped make the show really entertaining!!
I suppose I had not appreciated Jason by only listening to Metallica during his years, I thought he was a great bassist and a fine choice for the band, but it wasn’t until I started watching old concert videos with Jason that I was totally blown away at his energy, involvement and his presence on the stage. What other member of Metallica has ever taken over vocals on any of the songs? Jason is the only one I’ve ever seen. And that’s some serious props from a metal god to let someone else in the band shoulder some vocal work and stand aside while Jason holds his own. Yeah, I’m glad they had this chat because Jason is nothing short of a badass.
Yes, you are right on the money. I saw them on both the AJFA and Black Album tours, and Newsted was a huge driving force on stage, musically, visually, presence, energy, the whole deal.
Jason was always a better fit for Metallica, than Rob would ever be.
rob is nowehere near as metal as jason and his vocals are .....im gonna be nice
I'm glad they managed to be Friends again in the end and also admitted how out of control and angry they were against Jason in those dark times of theres. That whole era was an interesting time for Metallica. Jason was a huge blast of energy that Metallica needed after that whole incident, wish we could've got to see more of what he could've brung heavy wise , more stuff like blackened etc, but I'm glad still for what we got album wise with Jason especially the black album and in justice for all....even if it is barely audible lol. He was such a beast live at concerts for Metallica, most time's seemed like they needed to keep up with Jason lol especially with those amazing backing vocals of his and those powerful AF headbangs 😅 .
They were all very young when Cliff died so it stands to reason that they mishandled Jason.
The human brain is not even fully developed until 26 plus these guys were rockstars. Talk about testosterone and attitude.
Jason made millions so do not feel too badly for him BUT you can only imagine some of the not so nice stuff.
None of them aside from Lars even had a solid enough upbringing to know how to process anything deeper than what they were gonna do for dinner that night. I can only imagine how traumatized and pissed off they were after.
Agree. Live and you learn.
I don’t feel bad for Jason…..I feel bad for Metallica as they’ve only made one half decent album since he left (Death Magnetic)….the others are poor (and I’m a fan!)….and the less said about ‘LuLu’ the better!
I think Cliff is a bit overrated and Jason slightly underrated. Cliff was one of the greatest bass players ever and all, but it's not like you can invent new things forever. I mean, KEA was just a thrash album, RTL was more powerful, because it was faster, MOP was stronger too, but because it was heavy, almost doom metal like. After 3 vastly different masterpieces you can only play the same thing heavier/faster or... Play slower, more mainstream-oriented. Cliff left the world as a legend, but Jason will always be the hero who saved the band, met expectations and lifted the band's legacy. Jason is world class on it's own.
This is bullshit, there was so much more to explore, even without leaving thrash, cliff wanted to expand to stuff like voivod and coroner and that's without even touching what death metal would become and jazz influenced bands.
He was there for them when they needed him and they were not there for him when he needed them
Unfortunate how things ended with Jason but at least they have the balls to admit they were completely wrong on how they treated him
Love those old pictures of Jason!
Newsted Is my Metallica Bassist till I die. My favorite live performances all Had Jason on stage.
Jason Newsted will always be my favorite member of Metallica.
There is a saying "Too little, too late." Now I get where they are coming from. Age and time have a way of opening your eyes to what was so easy to ignore when you were younger. Not knocking them at all for finally realizing what they did. But now they have to live with that knowledge.
I had not and still have not seen anything like Jason Newsted Live. I saw Metallica many years ago live at Virginia beach. To this day the clearest memories are of Jason! He was putting out so much energy, it was captivating! He was stoked the whole set and stoked us up the whole time! Metal God!
Man, this got me teary eyed. He was one of my favs. Fuck, he could sing "Seek & Destroy" like a badass
This is like tears of joy literally
Instead of being all talk do a remaster of and justice for all
the song The Unforgiven kinda puts me in mind of Jason and how he was treated in Metallica. He came in trying to help the band out knowing what just hapend and they just treated him as a whipping boy and took out all the anger and sadness they had over losing Cliff
Made me cry.
Just watch the performances. Jason was nasty on that stage. His energy and playing was awesome.
Put all his projects on your label,GUYS...No brainer!
Be the family!
I like that idea
Should've given him more writing credits. I mean this man wrote one of the most iconic riffs ever for Metallica, Blackened.
Then they ended up writing and playing his bass parts like King Nothing and Devil's Dance etc.
Well he had the body of the idea for blackened James added to it
Jason Recorded all the Bass For those albums, dude.
And the only reason he has so little writing credits is because the majority of his stuff that he sent to them at that time was apparently like fast, Thrashy stuff like their earlier work, and Metallica weren’t looking for that at that time. But then you’ll have outliers like My Friend of Misery and Where the Wild Things Are that aren’t that and would be the kind of stuff that Lars and James would pick out from his material.
Lars and James are already great on their own at producing stuff, but if they like it enough, they’ll draw in ones from the other band members, though not to simply appease them as band members and take in whatever they got.
He didn't leave bacause he wanted creative freedom. That's just what Lars is saying. It was a small part of a big problem, they basically made Jason despise Metallica and pushed him to his limits until he decided that he doesn't want to deal with their shit anymore.
Just pre-planned words for a camera. They owe him 1000 more apologies. He was the heartbeat of Metallica. He gave his sweat and blood and kicked all their asses live. When they released the Justice boxset....it should have been a no brainer to include a remix with bass properly in the mix....they owe him that at the very least.
BEST interview by Metallica ever! Fact. I am from Phoenix I know Jason from the Dogs and Flotsom.
Every Jason fan, like myself, knew what the band in this interview was talking about THEN. I saw Jason front row many times, and even when he performed with Echobrain . . . he still gave his headbanging all.
I know Reload isn’t considered there best album by any stretch but I think it’s some of Jason’s best work. Bass is loud and heavy on every song.
Oooof, hits you in the feels - glad to see them grown, grateful, and introspective - finally giving Jason the praise he deserves….
Jason was the best for metallica.
Jason was my favourite back then.🤘
Yeah- well they should. They owe him more than they'll ever know
They were turning 40 around the Some Kinda Monster documentary years, and while it may seem absurd that they still acted that way (which is what makes that doc so great), you gotta remember that they had been been going 100mph with the band since their late teens, and became the most successful metal band before the age of 30. Endless money, yes men who are financially dependent on you, masses of worshipping fans, media trying to publicize every single thing you do, women throwing themselves at you based on wealth and status... Few have any idea how it is to go through life like that. Basically, nothing is forcing you to "grow up."
Just once I'd love to see the other timeline where Jason stayed and they let him grow. We fucking loved that guy so much, man. They know they fucked it up, and Robert does, too. I'm sure being the solid guy he is, Robert would be as happy as the rest of us if Jason had stayed. It's all just a damn fucking crying shame, man.
That was Biggest mistake Metallica made, They let their ego lose one of their finest members, and none of them were truly happy doing this. It was wrong by every level. Long live Jason Newsted, always respected him
Agreed. He was one of the generals but he was a soldier too.
Good to hear these guys say this publicly Jason deserves it
Hetfield took a thousand turns in his response only to say that he would defend Trujillo but NOT Newsted. It's really stupid to believe that a bassist is superior just for playing with his fingers. Metallica lost too much when Newsted left.
Jason gave his soul to that band.
You can see it when he performs, the passion he poured into it. They didn't deserve him
I was lucky enough to see Metallica four times...and each time my eyes were drawn and fixed onto just three out of the four....CLIFF, JASON and ROBERT....best live bass players EVER!!
I’m glad the recognized Jason’s contribution.
'We love you, but you're not Cliff'. That gets right to the heart of it. I feel the same way about their albums post-1980s. 'I love you, but this isn't 80s Metallica that I grew up on'. Glad to see Jason's getting this recognition and acknowledgement from them.
overdue. but cool to see them finally give Jason his due
I love hearing this(made me shed a tear)jason is an incredible human being and I'm glad he helped them to self reflect and come through the darkness of the past. It's hard to admit you were wrong and then reach out and tell the person(play shows again)reconnect and be brothers again. High 5's all around, his sacrifice will never be forgotten cu I still have my favorite band around live and kicking. We love you Jason 😎👌♥️🔥👏
Seeing Jason recently on recent interviews it was perfect timing for him to leave that band! He was there through there peak and physically was beating him up he said he can no longer play like he used to due to that ! He’s a animal and he was awesome
The lacked graditude&respect for him&it has taken all this time to realize where they were wrong&Jason I'm sure is aware by now how the rest of the band views it now but hes still recovering things like this take time&sometimes you never get over stuff like this..
Thanks Jason!
They're really not being apologetic here.... Merely explaining/excusing their actions.
Man, thanks rob 🙏.. but bring back Jason !!!! i wish for that..
Metallica will always be a part of my life fan4life
Bro!!! This is literally wisdom coming from age. Absolutely beautiful. I’m learning this for myself in life now. JAH Father Time speaks all wisdom.
He was definitely the ‘Backbone’ of the band!!!! And filled in sum pretty Big Shoes!!!!!!\M/
Stabilizing Force.. Never heard that.. That's meaningful solid powerful
💪💚🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Too bad they weren't there when he needed them ! The band lost their edge when he left! Cliff was amazing bass player! Jason is the greatest bass player.
It took the better part of four decades, but their growth as people has enabled them to realize how shitty they were to him, and to take it upon themselves to issue a public apology while giving him his long overdue props.
Jason was as much of a gift to the band as Cliff was (and Rob currently is), sad that Jason had to experience the rough end of the stick with a love/hate dynamic; all that said, the dude still goes to bat for Metallica as much as Ray Burton and Torben Ulrich did (may both gents rest peacefully) and the band has come to better appreciate Jason's past and ongoing contributions. Processes such as healing can take time or not arrive at all, glad these guys are moving forward with more positivity.
I can’t believe how wholesome I found this. I never thought I would hear James and Lars apologize in such a way. I hope Jason can see these comments. What an awesome dude.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 That was so respectful
Im here after the interview of James. It is so nice to hear they regret not fighting for him!!
Yeah, they would be even bigger with him(way bigger), his synergy with James on stage was truly energy on it's own, unstoppable force, whole band energy was rawer and stronger when he was there as it should be in metal.
Respect to Jason. In Some Kind of Monster he was the only one that called out the band for going along with that guru guy basically controlling the band while at the same time dealing with being told he couldn't do any side projects. It's surprising he stayed as long as he did. He put up with so much shit.
Nice of them to recognize Jason and praise him. Metallica would benefit by him being in the band.
Rob is awesom, but ive seen them with Jason, the energy and stage presence that he put into their shows, Jason is a true beast
So good to hear that from them i think it really shows just how down to earth they are.
When your heroes grow up and mature its very inspirational
If Jason ever needs the band to be there for him, they better be there
Great to hear this
Jason should be in MetallicA. That motherfuckin beautiful bastard IS METALLICA.
Glad to see Jason finally get his props and that James and Lars can finally admit they were wrong. Now let's see that remix of ...And Justice for All with Jason's bass tracks released.
For me, Metallica isn't the same without Jason. I appreciate that they have continued to make music with Rob and there are a handful of songs that I have enjoyed, but their connection for me was severed when Jason left. On the other hand, it's good see them give credit where credit is due.
After cliff burton passed away most of the fans that came after when the video of one came out and enter sandman the black album eara jason newsted is the reason why Metallica fans liked the band that bass guitar tones on the black album pop pluck sound and him playing with a pick gave definition to the band sound and I miss that 😊... Robert is great and over the last two years his bass guitar tones have grown and got better when I listen to live stuff I can hear the bass guitar lines pop and pluck I like jazz bass guitars because you can roll off the neck pickup and the bridge pickup can be heard 😊
There it is folks, Justice for Jason. Love these guys 😎
That "we love you but your not cliff" really shook me and im not even s fan of cliff but wow that struck something
Jason was incredibly gracious to RT after he joined. “Rob will make Metallica awesome.”👍
