The Metallica bassist debate has always been an extremely difficult topic but when it came to live performances, Jason Newsted was an unstoppable monster.
Charles Ehlers that man was a monster musician.
But Cliff Burton is best
Perkele cliff was great but people hype him up to much. Overrated
cm_xxvi Well of course people would hype him up he’s the best bass player in metal.
@@prometheustv6558 arguably the best bassist ever... he pioneered the overly aggressive and complex lead bass-playing while basically ripping his strings apart with his fingers!
I truly fucking miss Jason being in Metallica... He was such a beast onstage. He brought out the aggressive side of Metallica. That is SORELY missed.
Me too. Jason fits Metallica better than Rob, after Cliff. Plus, Rob really sucks on backing vocals.
My god he's aged so well.
Jonah Fuerstenberg that's what happens if you don't do drugs
David Catanus Yeah and a healthy diet I'm sure. He probably like jogs or something.
Jonah Fuerstenberg he looks thinner than before
Jericho Freman its because of his neck. He used to lift which causes your neck to puff up like a balloon
nick davis he got a thick neck from headbanging. Lots of rock/metal musicians who headbang alot have a thick neck. Look at corey taylor. He has the body of a 12 year old but a huge neck
i love the fury in the bass lines of Jason i really enjoy the work he did in metallica, when he left Metallica they lost a Monster on stage.
Kirk and Jason were the only ones without huge egoes. These two dudes are very humble and have true class and integrity, traits that are rarely found in the rock scene.
Playing with a pick isn't about talent but about the sound. I play both - fingers and pick. It fits to many genres.
Yea like some songs they sound weird played with a pick and some songs sound weird using finger style
There is no one like him. Jason is a real modern bassplayer.
Jason is the fucking coolest dude ever.
I really miss Jason! he was the best bassist with metallica,
Heck No. I've been playing bass for 26yrs now & fretless bass. I'm also a bass tech for a few professional metal bands that tour the world & Cliff Burton was by far the best bassist Metallica has ever had. Jason had a lot of energy on stage & great backing vocals but when it comes to pure talent Cliff was just an amazing bassist who attacked his bass playing like a lead guitarist which is super hard to do as well as stay in the pocket. #1 Cliff Burton. #2 Robert Trujillo. #3 Jason Newsted. #4 Ron Mcgovney.
bullshit
Dude it was a shocking news when he left the band . without doubt the best bass player they ever had period exclamation point
cliff burton was the best
@@embassyhotel fuck you bitch
I love the way his pick attack blended with Metallica's sound and his backup vocals complimented just as well.
The black sheep of metal
Andrew Sypher sad but true
I was like wtf he looks so young and then I realized the video is 7 years old
I love how he talks, he sounds so educated.
Of all things I missed about Jason in Tallica, I MISS HIS BACKUP VOCALS!!!!
February 12, 1992 and October 3, 1992. I saw Metallica live and watched Jason give every atomic sub particle of himself to those performances. He earned his place as a talented heavy metal icon for all of eternity. 3:32 The tension build though, God. At the end with that didgeridoo background sound effect coming in when he says *"Built with EMG."*
Jason inspired me to start playing bass.I love this man.
Jason newsted is #1 Robert is great but he doesn't fit right and I'm a jason fan
+Shawn Huff I agree Shawn
Shawn Huff Robert to me is a better funk player than metal player.
Robert is just too unused. Jason was, too. But in my view, Robert is just as kickass as Jason - Jason has the metal atmosphere with himself that Rob kinda lacks. Rob has that funk atmosphere in himself that Jason lacks. In the end, they're both just kickass.
RG Indian I see you every where
cliff was best
I love his paintings, it reminds me of Basquiat and a little Pollock too...
Jason Is my all time favorite bassist. this guy is a monster at playing the bass. his vocals is great too.
With such charisma in what he does, and the hard legacy he had as a musician, Jason Newsted is, and always will be, my all-time favorite bassist, and my biggest musical influence.
legendary bass player just amaizing
3:05 hahaha never heard it explained that way, very cool! :)
_"In the late 70's I was able to find some import records"_
He looks fricken 30 in this.
I love this guy!😍😍❤❤
After CLIFF BOURTON JASON NEWSTED is a my second favorite bass player.
Miss Jason in Metallica!
Watching this in 2020. Jason is so young here and his voice is a lot higher. 2020 Jason still looks good for his age though.
3:05 possessed by a demon
omg!😂😂😂
slisrapper deja ga gunk chunk chunk chunk
he's probably one of the best storytelling musicians there is. He could definitely induct people into the Hall of Fame or something.
Newsted is such a bass god. love him. what's not to love?
i can feel regret in his voice when he talks about Metallica, 15 years is a long time, man....
Ull always b my idol...Jason Newsted..looking at ur plays...ive earned 4 wt bass..i play right nw.....A very big thnx 2 u.....🎸bass4eva
Jason doesn't deserve deserve all the hate he gets...
+Mauro Lucciarini shut up idiot prove him wrong...
+Mauro Lucciarini that means nothing, know prove him wrong as I asked before
+Mauro Lucciarini still didn't answer to my question
+Metalllica Fan You fucking idiot son....
You're a Metallica fan???my ass
Fuck you!
+Mauro Lucciarini and why the hell do u keep offending me.... You're so arrogant cause you can't answer to my question u moron
best interview ever.
My first love...
But, I still love him... :(
As a finger style player i respect pick players and admit that nothing comes even close to that sonic punch they produce in rock and metal music. Jason, Justin, Duff, Dave, Rex...Irreplaceable sound. End of story.
As much as I like Rob, he’s no Jason. Jason was a master and colorful soul on stage. Great backup vocals and the reasonable mind back in the wild late 80’s early to mid 90’s.
I wish he would join them again lol
jason we miss you, make things right with james! :)
Cliff is the legend we think of that established Metallica. Jason is the force we remember who carried Metallica. Robert is making his own legacy now.
Nothing against Robert Trujillo, but you might as well call his tenure “the boring years”. The band was well beyond its days of innovating by that point, and had descended into lazy blues rock riffs. James’ vocal melodies disappeared into two note crap. And their life performances are just… meh. I saw them in 1998 and they were incredible. I saw them in 2012 and they were so so boring.
I recently watched some videos of Metallica from around the end of the Puppets tour with Jason, and they were FEROCIOUS. I had actually forgotten that they used to be incredible, because they’ve been lame for decades now.
3:06 Most Metal Distortion Ever
Jason! nice bass. I want to try emg's now. U inspired me to play with a pick!
great to see an update on this guy!
I fucking love Jason Newsted. I really do❤️
I enjoy listening to Jason being interviewed. He comes across as a very humble, and down to earth guy. He’s truly underrated as a bassist. This man can definitely play!!!
For me, some of Jason’s best sounds came from his Spector NS2, -which of course has EMGs.
But, I admit that I’m biased, because I play Spectors!!!
jason you're my favorite bassist!!
I met him at the art gallery event in SF, when he touched my shoulders to get a photo, I melted. I want to be just like him on guitar BUT I'm a girl. I love you JASON!!!
jason's the reason that i play bass with my band... cheers to jason!
i love how this guy is so dedicated to music, even when he was in metallica, one of the biggest bands that needed perfection on recordings, he still made time for side projects. truly a great man. :)
i really love jason newsted. i also love kirk for being a true friend to jason.
Nice to see this man again!
Jason is my favorite metallica member ever
thanks so much man
YEAH! Jason is incredible. This dude is a master at the bass
The only EMG you'll hear on the early albums (Kill em all - MoP) is Kirk's lead guitar tracks. Hetfield didn't start using them until some time into the MoP tour, before that he used Gibson Dirty Fingers & Duncan Distortions. ...And Justice For All, is the first album where Het recorded his tracks with EMG loaded guitars.
Thanks for sharing. The was actually interesting to know.
RickyboyH Hetfield also used Duncan invaders
James also used the Gibson 500T in his white V.
That's where your wrong the first album james recorded with the emg pickups was the garage days ep
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. Glad you said it
Love Jason!
Jason still rocks! \m/
ive lost my utube password but i forced my self to find it& to sign in order to say:
JASON NEWSTED YOU RULE AND WE RESPECT YOU SO FUCKING MUCH AS AN ARTIST AND AS A PERSON.
You are an inspiration Jason !
Ah, he talks about his picking for once! Always wanted to know that :D
Wow it's actually been a while since I've heard from Newsted :0
We all miss u Jason best bass Metallica has ever had
i love jason because of his attitude good luck brother
good music is good music regardless of this bullshit like "talent", "skillz", "speed", and whatever the fuck else you want to come up with. music isn't a competition it's an art. it has nothing to do with how many fuckin notes you can pack into a given measure of time, but rather the specific notes played, in the specific order that they're played, within the specific timing in which they're played. get over yourselves.
very well put my friend,id say opinion as well has a lot to do will it,but yeah,get over yourselves indeed
+Mike Brink I heard a better one, *music is not competition it's communication*. That's why guys like Kurt Cobain are legendary rock stars and guys who are 100x more skilled at guitar or singing are obscure. Both are artists but many more people could relate to Kurt's music. Same with rappers and other people that skilled musicians may look down on. I don't care for their music but MILLIONS of people do. I guess maybe the same way some people can look at certain types of visual art and say it's amazing but then another person looks at it and says"I don't get it". Metal is certainly a form of music that alot of people don't get and don't like, but it's loved by millions as well. At the end of the day just gotta make what you really feel like making and let the chips fall where they may.
Always got time for what Jason got to say NEWST3D. 👍
Jason is so cool!
He definitely an amazing musician .
lol 3:05
Lance Brooks juggunggunkjunkdjunkjunk
Jasonnnn my hero
i always thought Jason was a down to the earth, funny and interesting guy. this video confirmed it all!
Jason hands down!!!
I like his paintings.
I will eventually have EMGs in all of my instruments, Once I had a set of active pickups in my bass the sound was soo godly... LOVE emgs I have being a fan boy but can't help it.. and I thought about getting the SD Steve harris set but the solderless kit GB PU's convinced me to put those in my p Bass....
Feeling about all things !
EMG for the win indeed! Jason knows what he's talking about for sure.
un genio y un animal en el escenario! toco con metallica en la epoca de grandisimos shows y en cada uno le puso todo el entusiasmo. Un capo newsted
Luv that bass solo at 1.34 with flanger got to watch
Totally agree with you dude!!!
He is a beautiful rock personality
Well, I'm 16 years old and I have been Metallica and Jase' fan for about 10 years and always considered Jason as the most handsome musician in Metallica's history and now, despite he is 49 years old already, I find him very handsome. He does not look old at all. I just always wanted him to be happy, to have his family, like wife and children... Maybe he is tired of everything. Damn, he had really hard life.
Respect, man \m/
nice to see him again.
i hope he will come back with music
also for me a reason to play the bass
like his sadowsky a lot
peace!!!
Jason, I love you.
I love his eyes and hair
@Totnik Too true, some of their best days were with Jason holding down awesome bass-lines. I wanna be able to pick as fast as he ca some day!
@guitarshreder91 what matters is that he is happy and Metallica is happy too and that also we all had the pleasure to see/hear them and that they are still alive. Peace bro
Classy guy...I really like Jason.
Sweet Basses!!!
he is so inspiring
even when he talks about just pickups
great musician
Jason great basist!
His tone is amazing.
Jason speaks the truth!
A true musician.
Exactly... It's all down to personal preference.
I love you jason
James just said in another video on here that he was using a distortion pedal and it was around ride the lightning & master pf puppets he went with emg.
i love newsted
Wow!! He looks fantastic!!!! Much younger than james, lars or kirk.
Jason has now been out of Metallica since leaving longer then he was with them. Man that sucks.
What Jason brought to Metallica was not the studio work, which was incredible, but the energy that he had on stage and was able to transmit to the crowd
You are the greatest
