Jason was an animal on the road! He physically couldn’t be stopped and carried that energy for the band at that time! He was awesome!
Every fan of metal and rock needs to respect James Hetfield. A living legend.
Every member on Metallica can be replaced except James Hetfield. Without James Hetfield Metallica wouldn't be worth watching.
You said what everyone inherently thinks,to be fair Metallica wouldn't be where they are if it wasn't for Lars,love him or hate him.
@@jesussotelo4775 That's true of all of them, but James is where all eyes go when they take the stage.
Nobody else can sing that level of shitty.
Can't watch them now
@@jimnewl No shit, he's the front man. 🙄
Jason Newstead is the man. What a bloke. Still miss him in metallica and his backing vocals were next level. Thanks Jason for the memories in metallica, you were such a credit for them.
Justice is an all time classic and was so groundbreaking at the time, I thought the sound and tone was face melting, had never heard anything like it then or even to this day. Didn't even occur to me or anyone I knew about the bass being turned down, it just sounded heavy and dark as fuck!Still sounds amazing today, I still listen to it at least once a month.
Most of our stuff to listen to it at the time wasn't that great anyway. I think I had a cheap K-mart walkman with awful headphones. You couldn't hear bass on those things even if it's all there was.
@Michael Lorenz I had a big old Sony stack system with a graphic equaliser lol ,had a decent sound for the time, I think I permanently damaged my eardrums listening to Metallica with the headphones on it at full volume,my car stereo was terrible though and had a bad habit of chewing cassette tapes up,even on that Justice sounded crisp though, still got the cassettes and vinyl of all the 80s Tallica stuff
@@jochencooper2751 I was only 11 when Justice came out, and was just introduced to Metallica. Before that, it was all top 40 mixtapes recorded off the radio. I had a friend whose dad had the sound system. Mostly Pink Floyd was what we heard on it.
@Michael Lorenz I was 17 and pissed off with the world, Justice fuelled my pent up aggression, Metallica were badass back then, love abit of Floyd btw
@Michael Lorenz going to see them at Download Donnington next week, I will be in the mosh pit again holding my own even at my age.
Creeping death was the first metallica song that I ever heard back in '84....instantly hooked....still my favorite song nearly 4 decades later!
Grit. James has grit. A very admirable quality.
Jason is the real deal and it shows here as he reflects on his brother James
You can hear the bass in Master of Puppets, Ride the lightning, and Kill 'em all. Put the headphones on and you'll hear it.
Jason has a way of distilling complex/nuanced topics down to their respective essences like no one I've ever heard. Still can't put my finger on it. A lucid, perceptive, forthright, standup guy if there ever was one. Kirk Hammett mentioned that one of Cliff Burton's basic tenets/guiding principles was fairness, and I think Jason carried that forward and kept it alive during his time in the band.
You're so right. He has a very rare unique way with words. Sometimes intense, sometimes goofy always wise and extremely thought out.
That's why he had to leave. Metallica is all about James/Lars duopoly and Jason wanted his own ideas outlet. I think now, when everybody is just older/wiser things would have played out differently.
@@paradigmlost7582 exactly. And yes, I agree that things would have been different.
His emotional intelligence was always above everyone elses. His family background shows a lot of that, making him stay grounded at all times, with clear set boundaries. No wonder he was the band leader in Flotsam and Jetsam, while knowing to step aside in Metallica, ego free.
Jason is a class act always has been
Jason was and will always be a gentleman
Everyone Metallica fan and his cousin love Jason
Justice is my goto Metallica album, always has been and always will be 🫶🤘
Jason has a strong backbone. Live with Metallica Jason was a beast
I love jason. If it had to be anyone that took the beating for james's grief, it would be jason that could handle it. He's just an angel.
Jason is my favorite bassist of all time.
Mine to 🤘🏻
Love Jason and all Metallica members :)
In reference to the bass subject. In the genre of thrash, bass is on the backburner. Its all about guitar n drums. Cool vid.
There is remastered version of Justice with Jason’s original bass. It sounds better than black album or 72 seasona
Het has made amends and grew. Jason has seem to have forgiven and also grew. Depression, addictions, and egos are a bad combination. They have all matured well. I wish Jason would have had great commercial success with his endeavors post Metallica, but he has held his own.
... AJFA was always my favorite Metallica record too. I love the cold sound on that. Just merciless brutal but intelligent metal. It really was their peak at doing pure thrash metal at this point, so it was necessary to change their style on the next album. Although I think God That Failed would've fit on Justice, based on that songs overall feel.
Love the vibe and smooth conversation. New sub and Fan Cheers watching as we drive out east coast in the RV.
Gratitude good sir
@@brutalplanetmagazine Cheers from Nova Scotia CANADA
I started listening to Metallica when the AJFA album came out too or just a few months after! The first song I ever heard was "Seek & Destroy" on ( Kill'em All) I loved it! I learned how to play the first 30 seconds or so on guitar when I was 15 years old and now I'm 48 years old! So yeah me & you started listening to Metallica probably around the same time like in 1988 or early 1989! Probably around the same age as well! Thanks for sharing! Everyone's 2nd metal band should be Megadeth! I started listening to them when (Rust In Peace) came out in 1990! Big fan of these two bands!
There is no doubt about it when you hear an isolated mix of Justice with the bass and then level it to a audible level in the whole album it takes it to the next level and is spine chillingly unbelievably great and shows how great The album really is period.What a great album injustice is but it is missing the grunting howl that Jason was there to give.This is one of the biggest oversights in musical history for metal fans and cant believe Metallica have not corrected this travesty .Imagine 30 years down the line and you realise not enough attention was put into something that will outlast us all?.
Justice means more to me than Master as well. Peak Thrash/prog Metallica.
Great Channel!
Appreciate it!! 🙏🙏🙏
What is happening with the new songs he´s talking about? Its been over a year now without any release
Justice has always been my favorite Metallica album hands down. As a lifelong guitarist, I never understood why people say there is no bass on that album. I never even heard that complaint until the early 2,000's on the internet. Sure, it's not as loud as it is on later albums that are less heavy, but there is definately bass in the mix, and I am not talking about the low end on the guitars. You can hear it if you know what a bass actually sounds like, and have a decent ear for the clicking of the strings, and you can hear it mirroring the guitars. I think the Justice fan made remixes are not very good at all because the bass is too loud to the point that it doesn't complement the rest of the music, and it sounds unprofessional. Justice is supposed to sound the way it does. To be honest, it's funny to me how people never complained about Ride The Lightning, or Puppets. I think those albums sound iconic as hell, and I wouldn't change a thing about them, but they have a thinner sound than Justice, and it's not just because Justice has the heavier guitar riffs. When you are dealing with a lot of distortion, heavy kick drums, and rough vocals, the bass can be overshadowed. I would like someone to create a RUclips version, and take the bass completely out of And Justice For All so they can show critics the difference in the original mix, and how it would really sound without any bass in it. There would be a huge difference.
That entire interview is excellent
Master of puppets totally has clear bass and kill em all. They all do. With Cliff and Garage Days with Jason my God that one rips with Bass.
They mentioned you couldn't hear the bass playing in heavy metal bands in the 1980's! One band you sure can that comes to my mind! Listen to Iron Maiden, you can hear his bass playing all through the tracks! Steve Harris is the most underrated bass player there is!!! He plays with his fingers! He's perhaps one of the best in heavy metal today, but you never hear people talk about him!
Steve Harris FTW
@@brutalplanetmagazine what?
I wouldn’t say he’s underrated I think in every conversation about metal bassists he’s regarded as the very best .
I keep hearing people say no bass even before justice. But I feel like at least in Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets bass definitely was there, whereas Justice is much more tinny. But both of those albums have notable bass driven songs and, at least to my ear, a stronger bass sound (For Whom the Bell Tolls and Orion). I am no mixer, and so I don't know the technical details. I just know as a guitar player there is a heaviness present. A lot of other bands, especially outside thrash (but even within it), had plenty of bass. It isn't like 70s bands didn't incorporate bass and have a proper rhythm section. I think the thing that is true about thrash and metallica in particular is they didn't utilize the rhythm section the way it is done in other genres of rock and metal because its so guitar riff-centric. But the thing that was going on with Justice seems to me to be a whole different thing (like maybe a way of Eulogizing Cliff Burton).
One thing I do wonder about is the effect of this music being listened to in digital format on computer speakers has had on how people interpret this stuff. I grew up listening to tapes, records and CDs. And most of my impression of whether a mix was good or what things sounded like was shaped by that. Sometimes when I listen to a song on youtube or listen to a 2015 or 2012 mix, it feels really off.
@@kevinb7126 you got that right!
Is this recent? Is it is, Jason newsted as Aged incredible well: he’s 60 and He barely looked any older than the reload days.
Very good point... he does not look like he has aged much.
I truly hope and believe that Metallica eventually will take Jason on tour, and they play with double bass players or replacing Rob in several songs. Maybe in next leg in US. Their feelings mutual now.
This would be a gift back to the music world- Jason will always deliver
The first METAL band that comes to mind is Maiden.
Steve Harris is one of the best bass players I've heard besides Cliff Burton!
You gotta admit its Metallica.
@@cagrkocaslan5783 Hell no...never has been.... when I think of Metal, I think Maiden. Maiden for ever. But if Metallica is that band for you, good on you. I'm not one to interfere other's joy.
@@johnmontoya2398 its not about you and me. Lol idc what you think. When people think metal music metallica comes 1.
@@cagrkocaslan5783 Fuck no....Maiden or Slayer.
Jason leaving actually saved Metallica in many ways. Alot took place after Jason left. I can sense that from Jason here. Its like... he did was was best for himself and for the Band. James wouldnt of stopped drinking...
Keep trying to get back in homie. I bet there isn't a day that goes by that you don't regret leaving.
I agree. Jason regrets leaving. No one can convince me otherwise.
Oh, please, it was like a bad marriage - there can be love, but still you can't be with each other.
Pretty sure jason is happy where his is
Jason has no regrets.
is that intro TBDM's den of the picquerest drums with guitar over it? lol
Shhhhhhh!!! :D
He does kinda sound like Steve-O!
Recently sobered up? That was back in 2002.
He had a relapse like two years ago or whatever, had to go to rehab again
@@velpro3150 i thought that was just a scare, like not completely off the wagon, so to speak.
Sorry your beanie was so important to your video.
My respect lies with Jaysun Newkidd
You’ve got your facts wrong dude😂
Headbanger’s Ball premiered 2 years before the “One” video. Saying thrash metal had never been seen on MTV before that video is actually comical. Maybe you’ve never heard of Overkill, Nuclear Assault, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. Not only “thrash” but speed metal, death metal, and so on. Yes, it wasn’t mainstream yet, but it was most definitely there for 3 hours every Saturday night a long time before Metallica made a video.
Need to do ur Metallica research buddy..the bass gtr is audiable on the albums Cliff was on, i dnt think they wudve done Cliff's bass trax lik they did with Jason..Jason is being modest about not hearing his bass on AJFA, fuckin A his opening riff is Blackened straight up nd having a credit to that album is paydirt not to mention his Black Album credit..listen to what Flemming Rasmussen has to say,the producer from Ride the Lightining to AJFA, about the unaudiable bass lines, i trust his word on this matter🤔
I've been listening to Metallica since the early 90's but it has been a while since I listened to my old CD's - just on streaming where they are all remixed and remastered so point taken. I forgot about Flemming Rasmussen too... I do remember hearing that. Cheers!
Complete bullshit about the first 3 Metallica albums Bass, you can hear Cliff in the mix loudly and He was a huge part of their sound. The fact is that Cliff was the rough edge in the song writing and the biggest part of Master of Puppets. Down to the books Cliff read by H.P Lovecraft, for whom the bells toll and kulu
I didn't go into much detail about it but I think they were mostly just saying that in music production in general back then the bass guitar wasn't eq'ed the same as it is now, not that you couldn't hear the bass.
Dean made this interview boring... he just kept on talking and talking... terrible interviewer
It’s painful to listen to newsted in an interview.
Jason is a weird dude
Damn Jason. Just get to the point. Ain't no sense In rambling on and on about nothing. Starting to sound like David Lee Roth.
Its satisfying to the soul to hear this from Jason especially bc I know what it's like to wear it on your sleeve and sometimes it takes time to understand other perspectives. I'm sure James Is too, you will never know though and thats ok; it's ok. Justice is absolutely the best thrash MetallicA album for me...throw in creeping death and I'm doing somersaults off of skyscrapers. I'm a bit younger, I got my first MetallicA album when "Load" "dropped😜. I was in 6th or 7th grade. Bleeding me is my favorite slower song. I love that album. I love "Kill Em' All"🔨🩸 through ☠️😵🧲⚰️. Hardwired, meh. New one, mehh. Some songs growing on me after listening to a fan made "What if 72 seasons was on Load" and others on the album from the "What If" genre.
