i think this actually the only thread ive ever read on any platform or phone thats not an argument
Because Jason being amazing is a non disputed fact
Fuck you, you're wrong!
(Kidding, I just want to be a smartass... or jackass, take your pick lol)
He had a way of bringing everyone together
The man with class
Jason was easily the most likable and relatable person in Metallica. He started as a fan and I think his genuine love for the band and his passion for music just oozed from him and he was such a force with this band. I miss his backing vocals, the “die mother fucker die” chant of his cannot be topped
Because Jason wasn’t just a bassist in the band. He was also Metallica’s biggest fan.
yeah, that's what makes that whole thing hearbreaking
Yes.
This.
Crying intensifies
You know how many tshirts they sold on tour because of him???
The fact that they treated him like trash just because "you're not as good as our dead friend" is unforgivable. I often wonder how Cliff would react if he knew his replacement was treated like literal garbage because his friends couldn't handle his death.
Exactly my thoughts. He was every bit as good as Cliff was in his own way and he fit in the band so well. And on stage you would never know how they treated him because he always brought his best. It's a damn shame that they did that to him.
I don't think they treated him like garbage. That's an exaggeration and you definently don't get that vibe when seeing them interact. In the beginning, they hazed him, maybe at times a little too hard. But, Jason was still given lots of freedom to do what he did in the live shows, including vocals. If they thought less of him, I don't see James and Lars giving Jason that opportunity. They knew Jason gave his all and respected him for it, despite him not being Cliff. He also was allowed to speak on Metallica's behalf constantly in interviews. He wasn't just the quiet one in the corner being told to shut up.
During the time Jason was unhappy and wanted to do side project, James was disrespectful. James was in a dark place and Jason received some of his vitriol, because James felt he was losing control. He put Jason in between a rock and a hard place, and that's the disrespect. He stunted Jason by keeping him hostage in an unfulfilling situation. It's like sitting in a Lamborghini, but you're told you cannot drive it.
But, Jason never gave any indication outside of a few times that he was mistreated. Did the other guys give Jason the same respect they gave Cliff, or what they give Robert? No. But, he wasn't mistreated the whole time. He just wasn't seen as having equal standing in the band. They should have fought harder to make him happy.
At the same time, him leaving made them reevaluate who they were as people, as a band, and it probably prolonged their careers.
@@itsalwayssomething7490 All the things you just listed are all perfect example of him being treated like garbage. Lars and James fully admit to hazing him the whole time he was in the band. James literally says "It was the three of us.... And Jason" if that's not mistreatment of your fellow band member I really don't know what is. They might be cool now and Jason might have been to chill of a dude to call them on their bullshit at the time (he was their biggest fan and joining Metallica was the chance of a lifetime for him so why would he try to trash talk his heroes?) But that doesn't mean they didn't treat him like shit.
Tragic.
Still. Makes for inspiring, if not “good” art.
@@GiveSic 100% agree, plus, I don't think there'd be too many people in that time especially, or even now who would say "boohoo my bandmates are picking on me too much". People would probs say stop being a bitch or why don't you leave?
It's hard to leave the things you love, even when you know you should
If you ever feel useless just remember Kirk tried doing backup vocals in creeping death with Jason
If you ever feel useless, listen to kirk trying to do backing vocals in Frantic at live shows.
Leave Kirk alone....he tried his best
If you ever feel useless just remember Kirk without his Wah
If you ever feel useless, just remember Kirk Hammett exists
@@goncalosilva8069 I'd be willing to bet money he's still 10 times the guitarist you are without wah
The fact that Lars made 9 accounts to dislike this says enough.
You had me dying
😂😂😂
Lars actually has the most remorse of him leaving than anyone
hE foCKinG LeFT tHe BaNd
i could actually see that being true.
The way he's screaming "DIE" in creeping death always give me chills
He had the best vocals
the passion haha
It’s the “MOTHFUCKER DIE “ bit every time for me for some reason haha
@@megaduck7965 yeah this is so powerfull
@@megaduck7965 when I'm singing along to the studio version, i throw it in
My favorite Newstead moment is when they were performing Seek & Destroy live and Jason screamed instead of saying “seek and destroy.”
Haha, and James was pissed off
Searchiiiiiiiin
AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH
@@martinhuls James' face was hilarious. Just stared at him and walked off 🤣🤣
hahahha
Newstead playing it with Pantera was dope.
Fun fact: the screams "LANDMINE!' and "DARKNESS!" Are still ringing in the Grammy's room even after almost 40 years of the One performance
Those screams send chills down my spine everytime! Sounds so epic and it even echoes a little bit
“Jason, you’re too fucking metal, man. Too metal for your own good.” - James Hetfield
What’s harder than rock? Metal. And Jason got it in his veins 🤘
hahaha that quote always makes me laugh live shit !
@@Reblwitoutacause Actually... I must correct this one but Most rock (granite, precious stones, quartz etc) is harder than almost any metal LOL, no offence, just a joke.. but the fact xD
@@Empirism ACDC knew this long ago lmao
@@FMeyer-zg5mg haha... yeah man! but... dude, check this out. "Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs - Mama live on GTK"
When somebody says "give it 100%"... I think Jason Newsted.
110%
99999999999999999999999999%
Jason going like that: "100%? That's fucking lame, man. My grandmom gave 100% when she was in her 80s. When I wake up in the morning, I'm at 200%. After first coffee, I go to 300%..." continue...
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
He legit gave 100% I just heard how he physically cannot do shows like when he was in Metallica anymore he even can’t play like he did anymore that’s crazy
"Searchiiiing"
*"AAAAAAAARRGGHHH!!!"*
Pure metal soul !
We all miss him
@@delvinjames7069 wait but he is still alive
@@thatdamnguy9566 ik :l
@@thatdamnguy9566 you cant be serious right now
@@lb7625 umm..what? we're metalheads not serial killers
Everybody loves Jason because he was the fan who got to be in Metallica and for that reason that's why he gave 110% and went apeshit, a humble guy who gave everything on stage, when I think of Metallica I think of Jason, just raw energy from start to finish, relentless.
That and his interactions with the fans after every show. Everybody loved Jason.
Well, except for James and Lars.
@@SvendleBerriesat them time he quit yeah but they (at least Lars) completely understand
When I was a kid, I worshipped the ground James and Lars walked on, but I grew to resent them so much when I read up on their full history and found out how poorly they treated Jason. Even now that they've all made peace, and even though Jason NEVER held any resentment, I still feel for him. I'm just glad the Internet has changed things and people have given him the love he absolutely deserves. This man did not found Metallica, he was not part of the original cast, but he was this band's soul. He made it a huge part of what it is.
That is how wrestling fans feel about Hulk Hogan
@@Deanobucko917 wym?
didnt write a note... didnt contribute anything other than being a body on stage that played the notes he was told to play. but yeah, he was the soul... EYEROLL.
@@nothanks3590 Jason wrote the main riff to Blackened. That song wouldn't have existed without him.
Feel the same way dude.
It seems Jason is the best vocalist in Metallica and James is the best drummer. Strange
eh... i know this is probably a joke, but if it isn't, you're stretching it a bit :p
@@Ceruleannn it’s really not a joke unfortunately 😂 only a bit of a stretch too.
@Wyatt Eberlin honestly if james did every solo after the black album i wouldnt mind
@@Ceruleannn james actually can drum, more on tempo than lars too
@@progfox i know he can drum, but implying that he's in fact better then Lars is a bit exaggerated imo
Saw them on the Justice For All tour. I rushed the stage and soon after Jason threw beer from his cup up in the air and it landed on me. Felt like I'd been baptized.
What show was this? The same thing happened to me at the Greenville SC show. One of the greatest moments of my life.

@@jeffboggio8353why do all the cool Metallica moments with Jason happen in my home state
I feel so lucky
One of my favourite Jason moments - in Den Bosch, 1992, while performing Motorbreath James' guitar malfunctioned right before the third verse and had to do a quick switch which left a song without vocals. Jason sang two lines from the third verse and then James came back with new guitar and sang the rest. In short words - Jason saved the show.
Creeping Death during that same show, though. Oh, boi...
wait woah can anyone link that???
@@elixns_ ruclips.net/video/3LbCdekTS4U/видео.html 02:31:00
I don't want to compare them, but in my opinion Newsted was almost the perfect bass player for Metallica. Yes, Cliff was a genius, and Robert is cooler in terms of skill. But still, his vocals and his artistry are something ...
....unique
Trujillo has some very different roots from Newsted, and you could argue that maybe said skills are a bit wasted in Metallica, but it's an amazing paycheck.
agree, he sure is a better fit for the band than Trujillo.... who is awesome btw...
i wish they would actually let rob contribute more to the bands songwriting. the biggest things theyve let him do is the intro to manunkind, and the flamenco thing that ended up turning into all nightmare long, though only one little part of the thing rob wrote actually made it to the final version of that one.
@@progfox James would need to give up some control first, and that'll never happen.
He always went hard in Creeping Death. There's a few times he trolls james with random adlibs. xD
He was that dude who got to live his dream. He wanted to be Metallica when Metallica didn't want to be anymore.
I'll take Jason over Trujillo. His energy and vocals amped Metallica to another level live.
I agree. Although Trujillo is probably more technically skilled, he always gives me the impression that he does not fit in, especially during concerts. His vibe just seems different from the rest of the band.
@@george5737 Whenever I see Trujillo I immediately think Suicidal Tendencies
@@george5737 you say that but James said that Rob makes them play better
ill take him a billion times over rob
I love Trujillo a whole lot, but Jason had better stage energy. Trujillo has better technique while Jason better stage presence.
Jason is, was, and will always be my favourite in Metallica
i am bassist and hes my favorite whole time and always well be
For me too!!! 🤘 🍻
@Calgary Roads POV yep, totally agree!🤘🤘🤘
Agreed.
they are all nice. I didnt grow up with Jason in Metallica.
I have to say that Jason kept the energy that Metallica once had
Jason had the wildest backup vocals. I miss him.
Jason Newsted should still be with Metallica...not only is he an incredible bass player & singer, he's a truly good guy! Met him back in the 90's & we talked for a couple hours. He was so excited to talk about being in Metallica & everything he did with them. He's a legend.
They should have just let him do the Echobraine album as a side project, and take that year break he requested. If this had happened he would still be in Metallica, not to mention the year break ended up happening anyway when James went to rehab.
@@thedude9941or hired that therapist when Cliff died
@@thedude9941 james was scared that jason was gonna sell a couple echobrain t-shirts on the side. got super butthurt.
Worst thing to happen wasn't Cliff's sad departure. That was bad and obviously shouldn't have ended that way, but Jason stepping out was an absolute step down they never truly recovered from.
Jason was the perfect bass player for metallica, such a beast on stage. Such a great addition to what they were after Cliff
Least not bag out Robert ..he is pretty darn skilled too
@@lisacottrill7259 he’s just been a permanent “stand-in”. The dude has never really been let off of James/Lars choke collar for him.
Nah dude, Cliff was the heart and soul lf Metallica, without him they suffered all of losing the main creativity centre of the band and at the same time a person who they all worshipped. James and Lars being dicks with Jason and Rob is just because they know they will never fill the void Cliff left as a performer, as a member, as a composer and as a friend.
Dam I miss him. He left a big whole in metallic and it has yet to be filled. No offence Rob.
@@lisacottrill7259 why not, you people bag every one else in that band.
They treated him so bad. But I think they have mended their ways towards each other now. Wish Jason the best he’s an amazing artist
Not taking anything away from the greatness of Cliff and Rob but if you're one of the many who discovered Metallica shortly after the release of the Black Album (like me), you grew up listening to Metallica with Jason and when you think Metallica, you think: James, Lars, Kirk and Jason!
This goes for me, indeed!
Yes!
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL🤘🤘🤘The heaviest album of Metallica
im sure cliff would be proud of Jason. \m/
it wasn't Jason's fault ....he stepped into a gods shoes and filled them to maximum capacity.Cliff would have definitely approved
Jason NEWSTED....so good....
For me jason the hyper demon is the energizer of metallica, he gave it all, night in night out. To bad they abuse him.
Can’t believe Jason pointed to his Megadeth shirt on stage, instead of wearing a Metallica one!
2:28
I've said for years that Cliff and Robert may be more skilled bassists, but Jason is a consummate showman who is a much better performer (and also a very skilled bassist).
I think Cliff and Robert are more of the "look at me" type of bass players, while Jason is the tightest player, but not as flashy as the others.
@@Maggai I think that's fair.
@@Maggai I mean, Cliff never really spoke or did anything beside playing and headbanging while performing. The problem is that with Cliff the band allowed him to have his moment at every show where he could go ape shit crazy on his bass, but with Jason they controlled everything he did and never allowed him to shine
@@marcocansone1034 Yeah Cliff's big thing was basically playing lead guitar on bass. That's cool and all, but Metallica already has a lead guitarist and a rhythm guitarist that also plays some solos. Lead bass solos are almost gratuitous at that point.
Rob may be a more skilled bassist than Jason, but Jason's playstyle and sound are exactly what you would want in a metal band. Rob would have actually fit better in the Load/Reload days.
why does everybody keep claiming cliff is so good? because news flash he wasnt super special
Newsted is a perfect example of how a replacement bass player outshone the rest of the band.What a beast he is.
Jason always gave 200 percent to EVERY SINGLE SHOW he ever played with Metallica. Whether it was the first tour , the middle of the black album tour or his last with them.
Jason, the most Metallica man to ever walk on the planet.
Creeping Death vocals sounded like Cronos (Venom, for those not knowing) was singing. Loved hearing him play live, great energy on the bass
the myth, the legend, the god, Jason fucking Newsted. Hope one day people realize how underrated this guy was.
The only times Jason was ever heard while playing with Metallica.
I still remember seeing him playing Misery solo when I was 16. Has been my favourite Metallica song ever since.
Jason was everything!!! Still is! WE LOVE YOU MAN! A TRUE FAN!
It's a shame he had to leave Metallica, I love Rob and Cliff, but Jason had the best showmanship, he knew how to be on stage.
Honestly, I’m just gonna say this. Jason kept Metallica alive during the Load and Reload era. If it wasn’t for him, I’d honestly think Metallica would’ve disbanded
He focking left the band
After being ridiculed.
Can you understand? HE FOUKIN LEYFT THE BAIND!
Jason newsted is the reason why Metallica was so popular and so successful in the 90's
This is a clear example of why the other band members hated him, because he was the only one that didn’t give off a sense of fakeness!! Everything he did was genuine and from the soul!!
I associate Metallica with Jason. I started listening Metallica when Jason was in the band. And I also think that Metallica could include him in S&M2
Same here. I got into this between Black Album and Load then worked backwards. Had the fortune to see Metallica headline a big show after Reload and they were astounding despite not being my favourite band there that day, but Jason was the driving force for sure that hot summers eve. The crowd had been into this for 12 hours by the time all was done but Jason had us ready to give more as long as he would.
Same.
Jason charged them to their peak performances of the late 80"S early 90"s. Moscow performance and Seattle and also was part of the creation of justice, Black album, and load and reload. He defiantly made his mark and part of their history. If cliff never died, I don't think they would of created them albums and be as big as they are ,as all the choices are made because of the people at the time. that is why they became so big.
That random James Hetfield voice crack at the end killed me.
My Friend of Misery is such an underrated song. This one is at the top of my list for all time favorite Metallica jams!
Jason was a total bad ass on the stage. His every metallica performance was undeniably the BEST!
Listen, we all loved Cliff and Rob. But Jason was Metallica’s golden child bassist. Incredibly underrated and massively loved by us fans.
No, not all.
I don't like the skateboarder.
He'd better go back to Infectious Grooves/suicidal tendencies!
Newsted will forever be a legend. Definitely my favorite bass player for Metallica.
A few years ago in a bar at the Atlanta airport my wife and I were having a smoke during a layover. I looked up, and on the other side of the little table was Jason by himself having a smoke. I wanted to talk to him so bad, but I didn't want to interrupt his quiet time and draw attention to him
Amazing vid. He kick ass. He was the soul of Metallica
The soul, maybe, but not the brains or the heart.
@@beatmet2355 he was the soul and heart gtfoh with that. James and Lars were the corrupted brains and that’s about it. Jason is the prime example of “Hard work pays off”. That dude was ultimate die hard fan and praised Cliff to such a level when he initially tried out. He worked his ass off and earned his spot, regardless of what assholes the rest of Metallica were to him. He is true grit, heart AND soul.
@@barndencactus he did work his ass off, but so do people who get participation trophies.
He deserved better treatment than he got in the band, but the praise he gets because of his role is not equal to what he actually did. He only contributed to 3 songs in over a decade in the band. You could say he wasn’t given enough opportunity, but look what he’s done with total control. Everything he has attempted has failed. I wish he had more success post Metallica, but it hasn’t happened yet. He had two different bands to express himself and they both came to nothing. I hope that he is successful one day, but Jason is just a really good bass player and that’s about it, as far as his musical ability goes. I hope one day he proves me wrong.
@@beatmet2355 only considering his writing credits is disingenuous, at best. His stage performance was undeniable. After seeing Metallica 7 times in 3 different states (5 of which Jason was in, 2 with Robert), I would say he's earned every bit the credit fans give him, and then some.
@@Jeff9202 that’s what put Metallica on the map, the songs. No one is going to enjoy a show with mediocre songs.
Robert is now the longest lasting bassist Metallica has ever had and I still feel he's just the replacement for Jason, just a hired bass and not an actual member.
No disrespect for Rob, he's a beast, but I just can't see Metallica in him.
Maybe that's what James and Lars must've felt when they included Jason to fill in the shoes for Cliff.
I have exactly the same feeling! You're very right.
Exactly. Dude is good but just don’t see him as part of the band. Jason was just naturally perfect for Metallica.
Yep. It's like Daryl Jones working for the Roling Stones. Fantastic musician, all kudos to him, but always kinda hired gun.
1000/100 agree. You said everything. Sad but true. After Jason something epic has been lost without replacement...
my biggest issue with Trujillo in Metallica is that he's not doing Infectious Grooves anymore.
One of the most underated musical talents of the century. And a nice guy, too! He can teach us a lot about confidence, resiliency and dignity. 🖤
You know that he absolutely loves playing bass. Just watch his face and the emotion that takes him over. Jason New is a fucking treasure that is unbelievably underrated. 💯
Newsted was 100% spot on in Metallica
The most metal bassist the band has ever had, imo.
imagine having metallica, but with jason on vocals...
Ngl it would've been sick
Incredible bass guitarist. He didn't deserve the way he was treated by the other band members.
Jason is a bloody legend. I love hearing him sing Seek and Destroy.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was 15 (now 46), but there are two words that made me pick up the bass: JASON, NEWSTED.
This dude inspired me to pick up bass. 1.5 years in and I still love it. Thank you Jason and Cliff 🤘🤘
Jason was always my favorite member of Metallica, and bassist ever. He just has this skill and energy, not to mention he looks almost the exact same and personality as my bass mentor. Also he’s my definite celebrity crush.
I think he was the most suited bass player of the three for Metallica.
I've seen Metallica three times. I saw them in 1994 when I was 11, in 2000 when I was 17 and in 2004 when I was 21. The first time was special because my older brother had just come home for furlough after finishing boot camp for the Navy and he had bought the tickets even before he left for training so it was something that we were both looking really forward to. Also it was my first heavy metal concert. So what a way to start. In 2000 when I was 17 I saw them in Dallas and I took my girlfriend who is now my wife. I was older and had a much better knowledge and appreciation of the music then and naturally loved it because Jason was there singing his balls off on every freaking song it seemed like on the summer sanitarium tour with Kid Rock and corn opening I believe. In 2004 my wife and I saw them in Oklahoma City and I mean no disrespect to Rob as he is a fantastic bass player. It feels like they just didn't have the same punch live without Jason. I did not think I would notice Jason's absence as much as I did until I was there and I was like wow the band is really just kind of going through the motions. Metallica this day is my favorite band but I have not seen them in concert in 18 years and I don't expect I ever will again unless it's some sort of a special show where Jason Plays with them as a five-piece.
Happy BD, Jason!
You were my biggest inspiration to pick up a bass!
I miss the live shows with Jason. It was like having another fan up onstage. He was so good with the crowd and brought such a fun and electric feeling to the shows.
Jason's energy in Metallica's live performance was infectious. I'm not a bassist but he's my personal favorite among the 4.
No argument there, Jason will always be my fave MetallicA member. He was ALWAYS there for fans at Meet & Greets when James, Kirk, & Lars stopped doing it in late 90's and early 2000's. Only Jason did the Meet & Greets. When Jason left, then whole band started doing Meet & Greets again. Just facts. Love 'Em All still!
I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. Great guy off stage. Very humble and gracious.
His creeping death vocals are the best! Gives me chills everytime
Holy Christ it was a big thing as a teen when Jason cut his hairs
I knew Jason when he was in Flotsam n Jetsom in Phoenix our bands practiced in the same rehersal studios he's a very nice dude, class act 100%!!!!
People never respect someone's talent until they're somehow gone
Rob and cliff were amazing bass guitarists for Metallica (R.I.P cliff🤘🖤) but Jason will always own my heart. He’s so talented and deserved so much better when he was in Metallica. I hope the best for him!!🖤🖤
I've seen 3 out of Metallica's 4 bass players live and Jason will always be my favorite. He was a badass!!
The passion this guy has for metal is honestly inspiring 🤘
Gracias, me encantó este video... Y seguramente faltó mucho por poner... Arriba Jason!!!!!
"My friend of misery" has a badass and underrated bass riff. It's good to see Jason has the respect of the fans, he deserves it.
Jason was awesome. Metallica were never the same after he left. They had the best replacement for Cliff they would ever get and they threw it away.
Growing up my first memories of Metallica were James' snearing face from Enter Sandman and Jason's whirlwinding hair at live performances. Then hearing "DIE!" from Creeping Death solidified Jason in my mind as the definition of 'Metal'. James has an imposing presence but he always came across as a little Loki-like. Jason always seemed hardcore IMO
Makes me like Jason even more...wow, these are some great clips...wow.
Really do miss him and wish I could’ve seen him live, his vocals and energy are unmatched
Jasons vocals are insane
I know I'm late but Jasons backing vocals on creeping death are just amazing
The fact that even after he left the band he was still a driving force of change in the band speaks volumes
I love Jason...I'm like him in a way, whenever I was a musician even supporting as a sideman, I looked out into the crowd and saw all this energy out there for the taking. I never thought that that energy was only reserved for the frontman or the 'star' of the show and I grabbed every ounce of it that I could and tried to give it back. Man, Jason gave back so much energy and while I think Rob is (arguably) the most talented musician who's ever played bass for Metallica (don't wind up: Cliff's full potential was sadly never realized) Jason brought something else entirely to the live experience. They were fools for not appreciating his input because obviously then it wouldn't have been the James & Lars show, but it would have been magnificent if more of Jason's creativity had been allowed to express itself within the band.
In some alternate universe, there's a version of Metallica where Jason Newsted is frontman
I saw them on the load tour and while I was initially worried it ended up being an amazing show. But Jason killed it, he did that 10 minute solo work by himself sitting on the stage with the rest of the band backstage and kept 50000 screaming metal fans enamored until the rest of the band came in to back him up on Anesthesia.
Jason was in the Metallica I grew up with, he’s such an incredible musician! Miss having him in the group
Remember watching live videos of shows and waiting eagerly for Jason to do some vocals
What an awesome performer !
Creeping death... so magic.
Jason is the boss. That energy!
It is great what level of appreciation Jason receives here, although being the successor of a total icon. That is because he always stayed humble and was "touchable". And the fact again that this is what earned him appreciation speaks for us metalheads because being humble and "touchable" may not be the only way but the most predictable way to earn our appreciation.
Thank you!!! I never really noticed. Robert Trujillo is great but never realized how awesome he is.
I grew up listening to all three bass players and Jason is easily still my favorite
Wow I can actually here some bass.
shit man , caught me off guard on that last second James voice crack...
I feel a flame so strong in his spirit that it brings soul wherever he treads.
