Between Newsted and Trujillo, who is your fav bassist?
Jason
newsted, rob is solid but jason has that fire in him. he owned it every night.
Geddy Lee.
Rob's a better player but Newsted live was a monster! and WAAAAAY better in the background vocals dept. Kirk and Rob sound terrible.
Robert, he is a better player, though both are/were not allowed to do shit on record, only CLiff was allowed and they will never allow someone to put their stamp on shit.
Jason was my favorite member .It was so great ,cool and wild to watch him givin' sweaty %100 on stage back in '93. I love Metallica but they're never the same since Jason left ..Sad But True
Have you heard any of live stuff from the last few months? They honestly sound better than ever these days
@@subg8858 yeah if your 50 plus lmao
He left 22 years ago get over it

Jason Newsted is the man. Humble, big voice on backing vocals, right attitude, what else? Miss him so much
Well, aside from the fact he couldnt play bass nor sing, good for you👍

Cringe
@@ulflarsson4294 listen to some bass enhanced tracks off and justice for all, dude could definitely play bass
Agreed!!! ❤
@@ulflarsson4294wdym he can’t play bass
Jason is always so down to earth and he's right in everything he said. I really miss him in the band, the energy he gave the crowd was and still is unmatched to this day, especially his back up vocals. Jason has always been a classy dude, glad he hasn't changed one bit.
Newsted had an iconic look. You could tell that he was giving his all as a performer.
"We're off to Never Never land" does sound kinda corny
That’s when they were hangin with Michael Jackson 😆
"Heavy thoughts tonight and they aren't of snow white" (cheesy wah pedal lick plays).
That's total cheese factor there but I still love it.
It worked sold millions of copies so I guess being corny pays
Not really it was genuis, for me its a metaphor of just getting lost in the music it's a great opening song and clearly it worked its one of their biggest songs.
Well it is a song about nightmares. When do nightmare’s make sense and aren’t cheeseball?
He’s right imo
He's wrong
No it's a good song
Says every metal fan who was a fan of Metallica from Kill 'em All To Ride the Lightning to Master of Puppets and then to And Justice for all, we heard Enter Sandman and knew instantly, wow this band had just became a pop metal Radio band, because it is corny as hell and anyone who thinks it's not is a *recent* fan as of The Black Album, they are not original Metallica fans - those of us at the beginning made that band famous, there was no radio play there was only us buying albums and cassette tapes, going to their shows while MTV was playing Dokken and poison and selling us Glam Rock on the radio - we made Metallica big, so we know.
No offense to any new and recent fans, the band is ultra talented, just saying you weren't there at the beginning so you don't understand thrash metal, you understand when the band made it to the 90s and sold their music on the radio and became mainstream pop metal, that's how you know Metallica.
Enter Sandman is pop metal. Metal made nice for the mainstream pop culture. Think Game of Thrones season 7 - that's the Metallica you all discovered, Game of Thrones 'the books' is the Metallica we know.
@@johnlennon6790 I'm old school and I like it. I didn't think it was good as the first 4 but it wasn't load 😆
Yep Jason is 100% right
I love every bassist but Jason has a special place in my heart and it sucks that they didn't give him the respect he deserved
My respect for Jason just continues growing and growing
How many more times should he be asked about his departure?? its already 2 decades since then. asking him such questions is pathetic now. I love Jason!!!
Yeah, people still asking about it are beating a dead horse
He fokin left the band
He fockin left the band man period exclamation point!!!
Dave be like, amateur

That is a fantastic interview. FILLED with what I refer to as “RETROSPECTIVE INSIGHT” which is a perspective that only comes to those who get beyond the actual subject matter, incident, time frame or toxicity. A differing form of perception that usually only comes with time and distance. The true perception in hindsight is usually a wisdom that will only present itself to those that are looking for clarity. The instigating factor seems less important the further that time takes us away from the fractal circumstance. It seems, hopefully that is, all involved have achieved that 20/20 clarity of the past. That is the wisdom that leaves behind blame and brings along healing in it’s place. It has been 20+ years since the departure and it feels good to hear and see these parties all coming together.
I mean, this has all been common knowledge for a long time. Jason said everything he had to say in the Scuzz interview several years back. If anyone still has any lingering questions, just watch that whole interview. Echobrain is the easiest thing for people to attach a reason for departure to. It had much more to do with his growing painkiller addiction and medical issues - needing to rest and recover, but the rest of the band (mostly management) saw rest and recovery as lost opportunity and lost popularity. To them, taking a year off was career-suicide. They "made other arrangements" in James' words in order to stay relevant, which in retrospect is pretty sickening, but I understand it as well and can't say I blame them. I'm sure they all wish they could have handled it differently now.
Common knowledge for musicians
I agree they all should have rested for a couple years instead they pushed forward and made corny lyrics and horrible music they are just a mockery now they are bored with it and keep collecting money for their kids which isn't that bad of a thing but is horrible considering what they once were
Tbh James seems like a really self absorbed prick, for years saying "we didn't have the tools to deal with our emotions" while making his emotions the centre of the world.
@@davehendrix671
You're nuts lol, ofc that they are not what they use to be, logically because people grow older, but they still rock very hard for their age, stop with belittling you funny man.. And what bs you said with collecting money, do you even know how rich they are, obviously not lol
@@CarpeDiem23 ok fanboy go rock your st anger and lady gaga collabs grow up man I used to be a fan sometimes you got to let go of your childhood heroes and be able to say when they suck, they need to throw the towel in case in point I love acdc now they are also embarrassing sometimes walking away and leaving it alone is the best thing to do so at least your memory of them isnt what they become
Newstead is The Man. Loved the two albums he did with Voivod, and one of them was after Piggy's death. Iconic.
Imagine living in the shadow of Metallica for the rest of your life; nobody asks Jason about what he's doing now or what going on with his projects, he only get's interviewed so people can talk to him about leaving Metallic 22 years ago.
Made him more money than any other song. He didn't care.
I wouldn’t either and I agree that the song lyrically, is pretty corny
No amount of money will prevent something from getting old, tiring, and monotonous when you're the one who has to do it time and time again.
He can have his own opinion …. But what have you did in you life to even make that comment
@@bilalgarcia2543 signed up to a RUclips account and typed it in the comment section.
But in all seriousness it’s just an opinion, do you not have any? are you just peeved that someone doesn’t like the same thing you do?
@@bilalgarcia2543 sounds like you've never had to do a monotonous job before
Late to post. Loved Jason. I've seen Metallica live 5 times and Jason was awesome. You could tell he was having fun. He always interacted with fans.
Watching Metallica live in videos now; I can tell the shows are half as fun.
Jason gives off this energy when I see him "what would I do if I was in Metallica" "I would give it my all to help my favorite band keep going"
It may be corny but it was still a banger. And if you’re like me and you don’t ever listen to the radio, and pretty heavily curate your playlists so you don’t get burned out on songs… I’d say it’s still kind of a banger to this day 🤷♀️.
Exactly, people keep saying they should remove it from the setlist. If they heard it until they were sick of it is not Metallica's fault...
Having said that, IF the band is sick of it and want to give it a break I wouldn't mind, they have plenty of other great songs to play.
Nah man it’s way too overplayed. Like way way too overplayed. Even if you don’t play it much you’re still gonna get burned out. First 5 albums including garage days re-revisited are superior because it was thrash. James’ voice sounded so raw before the black album and when he blew his voice box out on “so what?” The black album just felt so slow.
@@RGK93 I don't mind when they play it at the concerts. It's the best time to take a piss break and grab a beer. No line ups in the bathroom when they are playing that tune.
@@Amadeus0317 it's overplayed because it's a universal banger lol
Like it or not, even as a massive metal fan, and as much as I love Metallica, not everyone is gonna get down to a song like Hit The Lights. That thrashy of a metal song is not for everyone. It isn't meant to be.
But when you throw on Enter Sandman, everyone knows it, and even country, rap, pop, jazz, and fans every other genre in between alike will be singing along and headbanging to it.
It's one of the few true heavy metal anthems that even people who don't like or even know of metal listen to and enjoy.
It has also introduced the genre of metal to many people who didn't know of it before and for that alone it deserves the credit and recognition it has rightfully gotten.
That shit is trash lol I'll listen to anything off Reload ( except memory remains and fuel) over Enter Sandman
Love this channel!
I get what Jason is saying about Enter Sandman. This is the song that got me into Metallica (yes I admit it - I was too young at the time to have been into metal in the 80s). But now days if I ever listen to the black album, I start at Sad But True. I've squeezed every bit of enjoyment of out Enter Sandman, and can safely say I've heard it enough.
If Metallica ever does a farewell tour I hope they can find a way to incorporate Jason into the shows. Never got to see him live and since he was my favorite member of the band it would be a treat if he rejoined. I think I've heard he can't physically keep up with that kind of music any more so it's probably not likely, but ya never know. Still such a shame they let him walk out the door and weren't able to fix the situation. It really never should have come to him leaving.
He's not wrong. Metallica has masterpieces and Enter Sandman is not one of them.
heavy thoughts tonight, & they aren't of snow white!
He IS wrong. And so are you.
i saw metallica a few times with jason and you got raw ferocious energy when he was on stage....now you get 3 hipsters and a crab walker
He’s right. And now I have to play that song at like every show (I play in a 90’s cover band).
Any Metallica fan since Kill 'em All or even Ride the Lightning knows this as a point of fact, it's not even an opinion for us at this point.
Think Game of Thrones season 7, that's the Metallica most people discovered in the 90s as mainstream pop metal.
Game of Thrones 'the books' is the Metallica we know, and Enter Sandman is a radio pop metal song made nice and safe for the mainstream.
VoiVod is what he was really wanting to do he said it a thousand times they were his favorite band and getting to play with them was the pentacle musically for him.
I'm subscribed, boys. I like what you have to say. And I agree that from a certain perspective "Enter Sandman" can be corny but you know, the riff checks out and I've always loved the song. I've always loved the video for it. It just worked for me. The semi running into the bed- sort of a Terminator 2 vibe in there. Nothing wrong with that stuff. I love Terminator 2!
He left the focking baaand!!! Lol😂
"Period. Exclamation point.": Lars the coke head gremlin.
I loved that song in high-school when it was released but it got played out so fast it was torture
Yes exactly.
I loved the Black Album when it came out! Now when I listen to it I realize why I loved the Black Album when it came out! Great album!
@@Natty1620 nah KEA is the worst out of the first 5. Load and Death Magnetic are better than KEA
Lout to lunch, kill them all is an absolute beast, straight thrash and speed metal, absolutely raw , one of their best
@@blake8123it wasn’t the worst it was just unpopular
I was fortunate to see Cliff thanks to my older sister, Rob is an awesome musician , love him, but JASON is a BEAST , that gave that rawness Metal to Metallica that i remember most..
Because Enter Sandman IS corny (no disrespect).
I don't think it's corny as much as it is "overplayed" and that's is how we feel about these kind of songs most of the times, especially if we know the band has tons of greater ones in their catalogue. It also has this AC/DC tempo and the catchiness required that made it work perfectly for the reason it was written for, to gain a greater audience and contribute to making the band Heavy Metal's No1 pop (literal meaning of the term) band. It has been many years since I've pushed the "play" button to this song to be homest, still like it though.
@Jason who cares
Everything after and justice for all is corny popmetal.
@Jason Excel, Suicidal, Beowulf, No Mercy, Evol are amongst the bands I like a lot, I'm mainly into hc/punk, crossover thrash and thrash metal. I've known about the "stolen riff case". Imo that's totally irrelevant with the debate of "Enter Sandman" being "corny". Furthermore that doesn't make "Sandman" a bad. Also with the exception of this riff the rest of the song is totally different than the one from Excel. I feel that the riff is mostly influenced by Danzig or Trouble, considering the whole songs' vibe and groove.
@@jeremywanner4526 🙌🍻💯 agreed
My 2 cents if anyone cares is this- AJFA was the last truly GREAT album they made while at the same time living up to what their name actually means.
Jason deserves far more credit than he's gotten for basically being the glue that held the band together after Cliff died.
One of the best albums they ever made was the $5.98 EP.... they've always been great at re-doing other people's songs and back in the day, that album became extremely scarce and was later re-issued because of high demand. I personally burned through at least 3 that I can remember. Oh, and by the way, I was lucky enough to have seen Cliff with Metallica at the Iowa Jam back in 1986 just months before the tragedy, I was only 13 at the time and I clearly remember the first thing out of James' mouth when they came on stage was "You wanna hear some F'n noise?!", and then broke out into "Battery", oh the good 'ol days!
This☝☝is the Metallica that I love🤘I still remember the first listen of the Black album and thinking WTF is this crap?🤷♀
Alot of musicians do other projects outside of their main band. That should be a good thing after all they're artists. Am glad they are fine now. Be nice if Jason do a couple projects with them. Have two bass players on a couple songs along with two guitar players. Be a interesting outcome. 🤘🏻✌🏻
Jason it’s the most savage, down to earth, and passionate person who just happens to slay it in bass.
I want to see him and Josh Homme write some stuff together.
Corn is quite the cash crop tbh
Korn
@@captainhowdywannaparty4481 On my cob
GMO corn
I personally love the song, and as a beginner guitarist it's one of my favorite songs to play. But I can see how Jason would get tired, having to play it thousands of times, over and over again.
That goes for any band that has big songs. Why is it different with Sandman vs Puppets? Both awesome songs and both huge songs for Metallica
@@brianstrutter1501 And to add to this. It’s your job! I get tired of doing my job too. However, I show up and do it. And guess what, I don’t make a pile of money to do it. I do it 5 days a week, every week of the year. I don’t go out on a tour for a few months, get completely adored,and then get a year long break.
I think the song is a good song and alot of people can relate to the lyrics. Everyone has had nightmares. The only thing wrong with the song is it's been overplayed for 30 years and it gets old after a while. When it was new it was awesome.
It might be my least favorite Metallica song and I've listened to probably all of them by this point
At this point Im pretty sure Jason has been out of Metallica longer than he was in.. Why does he keep getting asked about his departure? He has more patience then I would. God Bless him.
"than" you would. Not "then".
It's only 1 letter but it's an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT word.
@@eternity8811 Well thank you sir for that correction. I will make sure I remember that in the future. HOWEVER since I am comparing the time in vs. time out. Than could be the correct word. Also since Im speaking about the past, Then could also be correct. Right? My punctuation is terrible though. One could have a field day with those corrections. :) Have a great day
@@svenben9868 umm I was trying to help you communicate more easily, not simply correcting you for the sake of it.
And the answer is no: in your last sentence (the one to which I was referring), the only correct word of the two (then/than) is "than".
🖐️🧐🙂
@@eternity8811 LOL!
Because it was his career highlight.
I remember Enter Sandman like it was yesterday. I got in a fight with my brother when the premiere came on the TV. MTV. Right before it was to start, he took the remote control from me! I grabbed a bag of doritos as a weapon and threw it in his face. Sorry Dan. I got the remote control back. Mom broke it up. Dan's my younger by 2 years blood. Thanks mom. She drove us brothers to the store, and I got the real Black Album on cassette. I'm glad to hear Jason and Lars get along. Thanks Rockfeed.
Justice was the beginning of the end for Jason. Lars cut out almost all of the bass on the final release and Jason was pissed
Jason my boy !
Hey there Jason's dad! Lol
I like the song. (I like all the songs.) But it's cool to hear his thoughts on these things.
100% correct. It's exactly what I thought when it came out.
Metal fans of today don't understand how much of a shock to the metallica fans who had been there from day one the black album was ,
When the last album was serious vicious thrash ( and justice for all) , a lot of people walked away ,Metallica became radio metal after that .
I didn't get into Metallica until the late 90's in high school. I was already aware of them by the early 90's from a couple of friends who were big into AJFA . I was vaguely familiar with Enter Sandman from its time on the radio, although I didn't know (at the time) who had made the song.
As someone who likes most of Metallica's catalog but prefers RTL, MOP & AJFA, I can imagine the disillusionment that would have taken place in '91. Had I been born a decade earlier and gotten into the band in the 80s instead, I would have likely been among those who walked away too. Overall I consider myself lucky to have had the perspective of someone who was walking _towards_ the band - Long after the "sell-out" dust had settled.
I bet man I am 13 currently just got into metal last year and I listen to the previous albums and I was just amazed on how thrash metal it was and I got to the black album having high hopes that it will be just like the others and I was honestly disappointed what happend after “justice for all”?
Metallica died with Cliff.
CLIFF 'EM ALL 🤘❤🇨🇦
Miss Jason!
Couldn't have agreed more, then or now.
I seem to remember hearing James wrote really gruesome dark lyrics about cot death and was convinced to change them to something more stomachable haha
I think it was what they call sudden infant death syndrome, which is basically cot death yeah, true story.
@@Hayley.a have you ever noticed that aids and sids are the same except for one letter 🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Metallica could not have picked better bass players than Jason and Rob after Cliff died. I still remember seeing Metalllica with Jason in early 1992 at the Inglewood Forum and eight months later at the Pasadena Rose Bowl coheadling with GNR. Jason gave every grain worth of himself to those performances. Same thing for Rob too when I saw Metallica in late 2008 during the Death Magnetic tour. Thank God we at least have Cliff on video. Those of you who were able to see Metallica with Cliff Burton, I envy you very much.
What about cliff?
@@undergroundwarning5233 i meant choosing bass players after Cliff. I'm going to put that in there now. Thanks for the reply though.
@@chasing_dragons oh ok no problem couldn’t forget cliff 🤘
Yeah, in that interview, I didn't get the feeling that "everything was alright" between Jason/James and Jason/Kirk.
I agree with the title. I submit that everything since Justice HAS
been.
I think what's great about Enter Sandman is that, it's a song that everybody can get into it.
When they play songs like Battery or fight fire with fire, it's mostly rockers and fans of Metallica getting into it. But once Enter Sandman comes on, everybody moves their body or head to the beat.
At least that's what i've seen with my friends and in Metallica shows.
I personally like all of their albums, i appreciate how creative they are.
Unpopular opinion: "Whiplash" and "Damage, Inc." are more commercial than "Sandman." Jk.😉
1/2 of the black album was corny as hell.
Crazy he use to rock out on stage for it
Helluva musician and a great guy.
"Enter Sandman" reminds me of Twisted Sister's cheesy track "We're Not Gonna Take it."
Ts only had cheesy songs
I always thought Sandman was cheesie too
He’s right. I have always thought the same thing. Yet I can’t deny how catchy parts of it are.
Ride the lightning is my favourite disc. Absolutely rips
Sin duda alguna, el mejor álbum de METALLICA
Let’s call it what it is the sell out album
Thank you Jason! I thought the song was a joke when I first heard it. Great riff but cheesy lyrics .
Jason is Rock N Roll !!!!🤘
You Jason would be 100% correct 🤘🏻
Newsted, I think Trujillo fits in a lot better with Suicidal Tendencies.
I just commented this above!
Why can’t they just have two bassists? There’s really no con to it. Rob won’t have to get kicked out, and Jason will be back, and we all know, everybody loves Jason.
It can be called corny and mainstream by some metal fans, but I will say it was the perfect gateway to get into the more heavier stuff and start learning more about metal. For me Ride The Lightning is their masterpiece, but I’d be lying if I said the Black Album didn’t grow on me after a while. My Friend of Misery should have been an instrumental tho
The problem is most Metallica fans had been with the band for 4 albums, and this gateway album for new fans, felt like a huge step backwards for original fans.
It would be like the next Meshuggah album sounding like Puddle of Mudd.
Agree with this, the black album and Load' got me into more heavier stuff
@A Random Metalhead You nailed it first 5 and last 2 are amazing. Load and Reload aren’t bad but definitely aren’t the same.
@A Random Metalhead I understand what you’re saying. There’s a few songs that definitively stick out on those albums but generally I only listen to those albums when I’m feeling it.
@@themobseat I don't think Metallica could have pulled off a 5th thrash metal classic, to be honest. Sometimes when I "listen" to music in my head, Damage Inc. blends in with Dyers Eve already lol. They did the right thing. I love 90's Metallica. Specially Load. But I'm not into 21st century Metallica.
It would be awesome if people would get off his back for the metallica thing. It's been 20 years, folks. Let it go.
I was a big Metallica fan that was the last Metallica album I ever bought or listened to
Did metallica got help while writing Black Album? It differs from previous records and recently I've been thinking that they had been pushed in this 'softer'direction by label or manager etc. What do you guys think?
2 words. Bob Rock
@@bannedmadmike4234 true. But they chose him because of his work with Dr. Feelgood. They felt they had accomplished/exhausted the hard heavy side of things and wanted a more arena rock/accessible kind of sound. Watch a year and a half in the life of Metallica film.
@@bannedmadmike4234 dude, are we still going to blame Bob Rock? After all the documentaries, interviews we’ve seen in the last 30 years. We’re still saying this? 🤯
They had nothing left to prove, they wanted to write slower songs, a change in music directions. James and Lars recorded demos, BEFORE, Bob rock was in the picture. He was the producer, not a writer
@@efilacchione yes, he wanted radio friendly. Producers help shape the bands sound right? And he got it. He also wanted sooo bad to be in the band. Watch some kind of monster. Ridiculous!
@@justincorber7528 I’m so far done w Metallica I wouldn’t waste a minute on that. Watch some kind of monster. Anything after and justice for all sucks to me. Couple of songs no one ever plays off black album was cool. Sandman sucked and even Jason admits it. They blew off the fans that got them where they are. They even sued their biggest fans that downloaded their music! Phuck them!
I feel like many early Metallica fans are so bitter about anything Enter Sandman forward since that was the tour where they really became popular.
Every band as old as time goes through the cycle of old fans hating the "new big radio pop single" that turns their favorite band into a household name.
There’s a difference between bitter and not supporting radio rock. If that’s your thing then I get it but others prefer the energy the band had with Cliff
It's the same reason Kiss fans were angry over "I was made for loving you." Pop singles bring in tons of fair weather fans who have no loyalty to the band.
@The Mob Seat precisely! Not saying that it's wrong to not want those "fake fans" around, just an observation.
@@themobseat it’s all about the moola, the band’s getting rich off the pop songs, what do they care
“Rrrrrrrrofff to never never land” 😂😂😂
It gets funnier when you remember that in 1994, Jason said in an interview that he always like to play enter sandman, but that he preferred to play other songs like the thing that should not be
I mean we all just need to be thankful that Newsted took off and formed Slayer
I don't like enter sandman
Yes you do.
Jason was the backbone and his work was beyond any other band member at the time. Metallica was lucky to get him and glad he left to take his talents elsewhere. My friend of Misery is Jason's song period.
Loved watching Jason Live but after he left Metallica he always seems bitter… like dude you got the sweetest gig of all time show some gratitude
I saw Metallica twice in the 90s, Jason was the heart of the show each time, pure energy. When he says he gave everything, he's not lying. I like Rob, great bass player, but I think Metallica screwed up by not giving New kid the respect he deserved and letting him walk. Treating him like a hired hand. He had to step into very large shoes, it was Cliff Burton ffs, and he did that, and they should have given him the respect he earned.
metallica without jason is still godly and rob is proving himself a monster amongst men but jason in the 90s was on another level. his energy in live shows is incredible. its hard to pick between jason and rob because they are both cool people and amazing bassists who honestly didnt get to shine in albums as much as they couldve.
Metallica with bob rock was kind of corny
I've covered Enter Sandman probably like 15 or 20 times in live shows, and I was sick of it after the 5th time or so. I can't imagine 1000 times. But I never got tired of covering Sad But True.
Yeah. Blackened, creeping death and master of puppets never get old.
I cover sandman once, and then I’m good for the next 3 months if not longer.
Metallica has played it 1,400 times live since 1991. I don’t wanna imagine what the real number is in terms composition, recording, rehearsal, etc. Maybe 2,000+?
@@jd0879 The urge to create new versions or improvise something else must have been overwhelming! Price of fame, I guess
I always thought that was a lame song myself. I hated that record when it came out. 33yrs later I think its awesome. \m/
I still think it sucks
The music is good the lyrics and topix is cringe and corny
Jason was the best fit.
Jason damn near ruined the band. Every album he had input on was terrible.
Not as bad as st anger and after

@@TOMVUTHEPIMP there you go again :))
on every newsted video you pop out too say bad things about him..
what a miserable life you must have

Jason always just looked so natural on the stage and doing back up vocals. Watching Rob and Kirk just never has looked natural to me I dunno why
I did then and I still do
Love Jason but my man, that's like biting the hand that feeds you. You still get lots of royalties from the Black Album.
Hes being honest, he still played the song.
They can't shut off his royalties because of what he says.
so, he was obedien servant when he was in the band and he has to be 20 years after he is no longer in metallica???
To be honest the black album in general is kinda corny.
He's right! I never liked the lyrics too since I first heard it in 1994.
'Justice has no bass. That should have told Jason all he needed to know.
It was NOT kinda corny... It was CORNY AF
I remember how jarring it was to be listening to Master of Puppets on the way to go buy the new black album- Sandman, matters, etc. it was a stunning let down.
That's too bad for you, I think that record is impeccable!

He's right I like the song now but back then I couldn't believe what I was hearing it is a neat song but as for Metallica after justice for all album that was it for me I haven't been a fan since
It was corny.
The sound of "Enter Sandman" is the sound of Metallica being turned into MetalliCRAP. Everything following was a mere shadow of what they were.
Garbage Days
That’s certainly the kindest thing anyone has said about it lol
The quote he had hit it right on the head: they were not over Cliff. I totally get why, they apparently started looking for a replacement for Cliff JUST AFTER he died. That's something a person in their 20s would do, but like, nah man, you need time to breath and mourn.
