+stinkydo0d I agree it's cool to see. The fact is, they didn't have to invite Jason at all (However they know what kind of backlash that would have caused) Never met any of them but seems that Jason and Kirk are the most down to earth of them. Also, Rob seems to be very humble and nice as well. Lars is a loudmouth douche and James is his sidekick. Everybody is talking about how much better Jason is than Rob etc. IT"S BASS PEOPLE! Sure there are techniques that differ but at the end of the day, IT'S ROCK BASS! Not a whole lot of room to show your style when you're holding down the bottom end.
BakerImageGroup I don't think Lars and James are as bad as people say they are. James seems like a guy I could get along with perfectly. But Lars, as Ozzy's wife said, "he needs a good slap once in awhile, but we all love him." So, he is a loudmouth, but not a bad guy really. And I think Jason and Rob are both very good bass players. It's not fair to compare them. Different styles. It's like comparing steak to ice cream.
Lars is a shitty drummer and a narcissistic douche-nozzle that should've been replaced years ago. The sound of his voice irritates me to the core, but if anything, he is living proof that you don't actually have to be talented to be successful. Right up there with, Courtney Love, Miley Cyrus, every country artist to debut in the last 10 years and tons more that I'm sure haven't gone unnoticed.
Except that he's one of the reasons their songs turn out as well as they do. He's fine in a studio with a metronome, but yes, he loses touch performing live.
robertk2007 , 100% agree. Although we love Metallica ,James and Lars seem like a couple of arrogant assholes. but I suppose that's what it takes to produce amazing metal for all these years
5 years of increasing tortures and struggling survival, 5 years of steady tortures and playing numb, 5 years of they getting bored and slow down while jason just couldn't take it anymore. There. 15 years.
they should let Jason newsted tour with them as newsted and let him play three song's dubble bass with Robert and do his new newsted music that would be a cool show
Kirk Hammett such a monster on guitar ! So criminally under rated..One of the best guitar players ever..and a sober mentally balanced dude.You can see why the had to boot out Dave Mustaine aka the Drunk
But without mustaine, kill em all would not have been possible. Nor ride the lightning and not even master of puppets. The first 3 metallica albums are the best because they are mustaine influenced.
What's with all this Robert Trujillo bashing newsted was ok but never filled the void that cliff left behind . besides jason used a pick to play bass while cliff used his bare fingers . something that wasn't done since cliff and kirk even mentioned it in the documentary some kind of monster rob's style of playing is very simular to cliff and may I add jason was boring with his bass solo's Trujillo is a lot more funky and a lot more creative and more exciting to watch !!!!! literally slays that bass !!!!!
I loved it!! Thats what being brothers is all about! If your in a band ,you already know this! Thick and thin....shit happens ..move on..great to see them all together again...would have been badass to have mustaine up there too!!! Its a rollercoaster ride that we as musicians all have to ride..in hopes of one day finding that straight piece of track!! Peace!
look at Larshole always standing up and pacing about like he is 'the man' he needs some timeout with a metronome. for a player of his experience, his sense of feel and tempo is shocking. Gimme the sticks wee man, I'll give you lesson on how to nail this gig!!!!!!
William Dawson... my comment still stands. He annoys the hell outta me. I'd have more respect for him if he just got the head down and dealt with business. A drummer's role is to be solid!! He's not! PLUS he is cocky enough to stand up and pace about. He is the luckiest man in showbiz and I don't think he truely appreciates how lucky he has been for a long time.
drummerboy1975 hes solid just dosnt care if he did he'd practice but all he wants is money but I love him he is my inspiration and AND he pace around for the crow get them.pumped hes been doing that since the dawn of time
William Dawson fair enough. He certainly ain't solid to my ears. His tempo fluctuates and he is more irratic than my ex wife's moods. I can think of better heroes. to name one...Vinnie Paul, Nicko! just my opinion 😀
Thats Right Jason was there right after Cliff, and he rightfully deserves the Highest Honors when it comes to the albums that he helped write, and perform.
Jason has finally created an album and a band that will be touring this summer. I cannot wait to see this show! His new album kicks ass and will expect that his show will be nothing less than a kick-ass metal concert!
I like James' little riff change at 2:56, very pop... like the band they are now today. I miss the way they played in the 90's when they were smashing the black album a beat slower....
At first when I read your comment I was like, "But Bob produced the Black album; they're highest selling album!" Then I remembered that my four favorite Metallica albums are the four that came before the Black album.
Look...I respect Rob Trujillo as a bassist. He did great things for Suicidal Tendencies, and what? Ozzy? But the only two that can claim fame for being inducted are Cliff and Jason, and Cliff isn't here any longer. The best albums Metallica came out with, in my opinion, were "Master Of Puppets", and "And Justice For All"... "Kill 'Em All", and "Ride The Lightning" were great as well. After that, the "Black" album, then nothing, if you ask me. What? "Load Of Shit", and "Re-load Of Shit"? Garbage. I used to ride around in my car in the early '80's(83-84), and people would say, "Man, these guys are badass...who is this?" I'd say Metallica... they'd say "WHO?" Metallica changed the genre, then they sold out if you ask me. Just my opinion, but I was a Metallifuck from way back, and I miss the old platform.
If anyone could tell me why this performance has the best sound mixing out of all the other Metallica live performances on youtube, that would be really great.
What was the occasion for this? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction or what? Did they officially bury the hatchet with this or still some anonymosity?
+Kevin Barry Yes it was their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They did indeed buried the hatchet & Jason returned for Metallica's 30th Anniversary Celebration at the Fillmore theater in dec 2011 which was held over four days. Jason played on two tracks on each of the nights. A few comments have been critical of Rob being on stage. It was supposed to be the Black album line up on stage, but Jason insisted Rob play as he is part of the now. Something Deep Purple should this year have done had they been brave enough. Jason has since gone back off the radar as of 2014 only really appearing to pay tribute to Lemmy. Such a shame as his new band were awesome.
ya6655 I dont think so, look at the video entitled "Jason Newsted explains why he left Metallica for the first time", he explains it clearly, its 1 hour long.
ya6655 Lars and James are complete assholes. Jason called a meeting and told them he would be leaving the band. In his own words "I couldnt take it no more". Jason's side project didnt interfere with Metallica. There just assholes, as simple as that.
I think that Rob should have sat one out so only Jason was on bass. He was, and still is the longest member of Metallica on bass. And I do think that Mustaine was screwed. He should have been inducted with them as well.
Mustaine thought he was slided & held such bitterness about it, not realizing that Megadeth was thriving. Didn't seem like Mustaine enjoyed his own successes with Megadeth because of that bitterness. Jason wanted to go his own way and I think that Robert was a great addition. Enjoy their music so much. Had the good fortune to see them live in 2008. Best concert ever!
I saw them at Lolla in '96 at Irvine Meadows. Rob IS a great addition to Metallica. Mustaine COULD have been inducted as a member of Metallica, as the requirements are (at least 1) that musicians being inducted have to have played on a recording with the band, which Dave did (No Life til Leather). Although I do like Kirk as a guy, and he is a very good guitarist, I think Mustaine was a bit better, but maybe not as nice of a guy, lol. For this, Rob should have stepped down for one song with just Jason, Lars, James and Kirk. and then perhaps vice-versa. Jason did far more than Rob to get Metallica to icon status (as well as Cliff) and although I believe Metallica is past their prime (IMO, they rely WAY too much on Pro-Tools, which sucks the life out of a recording). Still they deserve to be up there. I would LOVE to see a record of James, Lars, Dave and maybe Jason or Dave's bassist make a record. Don't call it "Metallica", chose another name. Megadeths albums were far more organic over a long period of time. But, that will probably never happen...
St. Anger was garbage IMO, and I never even listened to DM, so I cant comment on it. I know that the sound, to me, on St. Anger was horrible. Lars' drums sound like pots and pans, and there were very few hooks or good melodies on it. I believe that Metallica is relying WAY to heavily on Pro-Tools, which makes the recording sound stale and lifeless, and not concentrating enough on good songwriting.
I find it completely absurd that 'it's 'Jason's return' and yet this other new guy Rob?Is playing as well? No way in the Hell of holy Hell's does that make any logical sense. Can any one on this earth break it down, I don't believe it's possible, it's just completely ridiculous for two bass players to play at the same time and how can it be 'his' return when the new guy is playing bass on top of his bass?? This video does in fact demonstrate insanity quite well and how delusional so called 'tributes' or 'returns' may be if not executed properly.
@Night Maher So a guy leaving a band, injuring himself, having surgery, going through lengthy rehab & playing live with this band for the first time live in 8 years isn't a return? A return for 'one night only' or a comeback from injury in general? This was also the beginning of his return to the music business in general going on to play the 30th anniversary shows & forming his own band. If you can't grasp the logic behind it then I'm afraid that is a problem you have to rectify yourself. I could also point out that initially Rob wasn't supposed to play as it was supposed to be the Black album lineup, but Jason insisted he did because he is in the band.
Night Maher I love it. I think of it as nothing more than a really cool moment. I love it when people let bygones be bygones and enjoy a moment like this. It looks to me like the band is having fun.
Night Maher Relax Mate, its just a guest spot he's doing. In this case the word "Return" is just a simpler use. And while I agree that yes there is no real need for 2 Bassists together in one Band, in the odd case it can be done as a one off. I've done it once. Makes for an interesting sound. A British Band called Ned's Atomic Dustbin from the early 90s did it. I didn't care much for them and 2 Bassists in a Band long term simultaneously is..... well..... pointless. But they sounded interesting enough. They have some vids here on RUclips I think. Oh and don't forget Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom" :-D
@DDELFIERRO I actually have both the vids from the RnRHOF uploaded twice. RUclips changed something around the time the HQ/HD options were being tinkered with& the audio on the original uploads went al tinny. So I uploaded this one taking advantage of the higher video quality option. Believe me the audio/video quality is way better on this one than the original youtube killed ;-)
Bailey Lauzon no it was dave mustaine who stole his eyebrows for not beeing invited to play up on that stage because he was in metallica but got kicked out x)
Rob came out of those crazy metal in the hood! Not only did he have to be accepted by the metal/ music scene in Venice he also had to be accepted by the cholos and the crips! This dude is hard as nails... he can wear whatever he wants lol!
it's a shame that Jason got booted out... but i'm sure he's glad to be playing with drummers whose tempos aren't all over the fucking place now... christ, Lars is painful to listen to, it seems to be getting worse with time too...
Kenneth Savoury, that's sort of a moot point. if he did actually quit, Hetfield definitely forced his hand, as he was forced to make the choice between remaining in Metallica or pursuing any outside projects.
jobriathboy He didn't fight for it enough, 16 years no song credits, he's not a victim, he should have made his voice heard years before, My Friend of Misery, that's it.

For the know-nothings acting like Rob being on stage is somehow offensive: Jason insisted Rob remain on stage.
Archibald Doogan Jason would love the fact that 2 bass players can piss James off more than one 😂
@@adylongmate4777 Lmaooo
I’m ok with Rob on stage.. I always thought he looked like gorilla playing bass.. Jason is Metallica.. sorry
@@maverick744 a gorilla playing bass seems pretty metal for me
@AdmiralOddSock that wasn’t the case back then, when this video was filmed Jason was still Metallica’s longest standing bassist.
Metallica Ft. Rob Trujillo
Basically
@AdmiralOddSock the comment was 7 years ago my dude
still relevant in 2021
@AdmiralOddSock at that time Rob was in Metallica for 11 years but Jason was in Metallica for 15 years
Yep that’s sure how it feels lol
I think Jason's stage presence made Metallica an even greater live band.
You can see the audience's energy when Jason's on stage.
So Lars had to turn down two basses in the mix?!?
lars basically turned the bass track to zero on jason newsted on in justice for all album and mostly everything since.
somewhere in you-tube land is "Justice for Jason" (the justice album with the bass track)
Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure only Rob's bass is audible.
one of the main reasons why the album and justice for all became famous, was for not having audible bass in the mix but still sounding excellent
Apart from Hardwired, I don't count anything post-Black Album as a Metallica album.
They were more like cries for help.
Metallica with real backing vocals for one night only!
A New Horizon Negative. Bob gave strong back up vocals at the Raiders gig.
empreme
Bob? lol
Yes. Bob.
empreme
I'll go back and listen. I just remember him struggling with the backups on the Some Kind of Monster DVD.
The gig itself is mediocre but Bob sounded pretty good.
That is SO cool seeing Jason and his replacement Rob playing bass with one another.
stinkydo0d Yep, they hugely respect each other.
More like "so retarded"!
Why the hell would anyone think two bass players is a good thing!? One just cancels the other out! Completely ridiculous!
***** I'm not talking about the sound. I'm saying it's cool to see the old with the new. That's all I'm saying.
+stinkydo0d I agree it's cool to see. The fact is, they didn't have to invite Jason at all (However they know what kind of backlash that would have caused) Never met any of them but seems that Jason and Kirk are the most down to earth of them. Also, Rob seems to be very humble and nice as well. Lars is a loudmouth douche and James is his sidekick. Everybody is talking about how much better Jason is than Rob etc. IT"S BASS PEOPLE!

Ravioli ravioli let jason back into the bandioli
@DD Well he’s the one who left...
Aidan Davies
Yep. He fookin’ left the band!
Gives the phrase "Double bass" a whole new meaning
G_ _T. quadruple bass 😝😝😝
Jason's backing vocals are awesome!!!
Say what?
Si hermano toda la vida. Nucho mejor qur robert
@@matiasvignoli6889 i don't speak that language
@@theadventuresofadam9515 yeah i am sorry. I must to say than i agree with you
Sorry Rob ur fucking awesome but Metallica needs Jason back
It's funny how the album you worship has very little Jason in it
I just think Jason is a better fit for Metallica
+Codey Horn just thinking of James and Jason on vocals in concert brings back so many good memories
+Codey Horn bla bla...Rob is better , i love the trash time of metallca with jason,but he made his decision a long time ago
dats right
Lars needs to learn what a metronome is.
Lol, that would imply that he practices.
Lars is a shitty drummer and a narcissistic douche-nozzle that should've been replaced years ago. The sound of his voice irritates me to the core, but if anything, he is living proof that you don't actually have to be talented to be successful. Right up there with, Courtney Love, Miley Cyrus, every country artist to debut in the last 10 years and tons more that I'm sure haven't gone unnoticed.
Except that he's one of the reasons their songs turn out as well as they do. He's fine in a studio with a metronome, but yes, he loses touch performing live.
I think Lars found out what a metronome is now. He is using it live too. Doesn't make him that much better though
Backing vocals. Wow. what a difference.
couldnt have been easy for Jason having to deal with Hitler and Mussolini for 15 years
It's amazing that he lasted as long as he did honestly.
robertk2007 , 100% agree. Although we love Metallica ,James and Lars seem like a couple of arrogant assholes. but I suppose that's what it takes to produce amazing metal for all these years
No, that's what it takes to produce amazing metal either side of 26 years of bullshit.
...if you we're getting paid as much as he was, you'd let them do whatever they wanted.
5 years of increasing tortures and struggling survival, 5 years of steady tortures and playing numb, 5 years of they getting bored and slow down while jason just couldn't take it anymore. There. 15 years.
Two bass players......Aaaand.... I still can't hear any bass.
+AstroMayan something's wrong with ur speakers or headphones
Me either.
+AstroMayan Maybe Lars cut the power cable...
+AstroMayan dude im a bass player and bass isn't supposed to be heard. you gotta feel it in your focken soul mate :D you gotta feel the bass
+Mora Lvin tell krist Novaselic that.
JASON NEWSTED IS A MONSTER OF ROCK YOU MADE ROB LOOK SMALL WITHOUT INTENTION
Agreed Jason, himself is/was a ball of energy! Gave 100% @ every show.. I'd be great to see him back with or do more with Metallica!
they should let Jason newsted tour with them as newsted and let him play three song's dubble bass with Robert and do his new newsted music that would be a cool show
to have Newsted and Trujillo both play Enter Sandman at the same time is a honor for anyone
AND HOLY FUCK ROCKING IN SUITS!?
...
Metal, like a sir.
All I can say is fair play to Jason for having the Ballz to preform again with his former band mates
Jason best backin vocals Metallica🤟🏻😍🤟🏻
Kirk Hammett such a monster on guitar ! So criminally under rated..One of the best guitar players ever..and a sober mentally balanced dude.You can see why the had to boot out Dave Mustaine aka the Drunk
But without mustaine, kill em all would not have been possible. Nor ride the lightning and not even master of puppets. The first 3 metallica albums are the best because they are mustaine influenced.
Don't like Rob and never will, Jason is way better, more solid more...well ....Metallica.
What's with all this Robert Trujillo bashing newsted was ok but never filled the void that cliff left behind . besides jason used a pick to play bass while cliff used his bare fingers . something that wasn't done since cliff and kirk even mentioned it in the documentary some kind of monster rob's style of playing is very simular to cliff and may I add jason was boring with his bass solo's Trujillo is a lot more funky and a lot more creative and more exciting to watch !!!!! literally slays that bass !!!!!
nah.....Jason was better and fit the band like a glove. Trujillo stills looks like an outsiders, like a temporary member.
When jason left that's when all my respect went out the window rob is hundred times better than jason
Jere A really I truly think he butchered seek and destroy
***** rob is metalica way more than jason could ever hope to be.
I like Rob as a bass player, but he has always seemed out of place. Jason is more laid back and pretty damn cool
2:20 wtf? James voice going insane!!!!!💚
My eardrums are bouncing into each other around where my brain stem is. Rob and Jason for the epic win here.
Not really a return...more like a cameo.
2 bass players, 2 guitar players, and no drummer lmao
Don’t disrespect the Lars.
1:54 Never disrespect the Ulrich.
Lars is so bad. It’s not that he’s not as good as the great drummers out there, it’s that he can’t even keep a beat anymore. It’s cringe
I bet he still the famous and rich metallica drummer... While u playing with ur keyboard... Pity
I love we going to type something similarly disparaging. You win! 😂
jason is a legend
They had Robert on stage so they could turn Jason's bass down.
LMFAO
Stop!
When did Phil Collins start drumming for Metallica?
Wolfgang Von Schaffenberg Phil Collins is a far better drummer though.
Wolfgang Von Schaffenberg ahahah!
+Wolfgang Von Schaffenberg hahahahhaa
I'd pay to see that
Hahahahahahahaga
Old buddies having a good ol' jam session :)

Thick and thin....shit happens ..move on..great to see them all together again...would have been badass to have mustaine up there too!!! Its a rollercoaster ride that we as musicians all have to ride..in hopes of one day finding that straight piece of track!! Peace!
I would have probably sat out on enter sandman or at least one of the songs if I were rob. Just outta respect for Jason. You know he misses it
Apparently Jason insisted that Rob should be there.
that would ignite magazine covers...jason back to metallica? and stuff... you know
Classy move.
But with two basses it guarantees at least ONE of them will be audible.... ;) Lars cant turn them both down...
look at Larshole always standing up and pacing about like he is 'the man' he needs some timeout with a metronome. for a player of his experience, his sense of feel and tempo is shocking. Gimme the sticks wee man, I'll give you lesson on how to nail this gig!!!!!!

just my opinion 😀
I love them to my second favorite drummer is Tommy lee
Jason was great for Metallica.his vocals were always awesome!!! Just great power and metal sound
If i were Robert, i will sit out and let the awesomeness of Newsted be heared. But again i am not Robert, i am just Bert.
Thats Right Jason was there right after Cliff, and he rightfully deserves the Highest Honors when it comes to the albums that he helped write, and perform.

theres just something when any metal band plays wearing suits
no hate rob,but jason's the man
Jasons chunky bass sound works so well with James down-picking
James is my fav just because he has always stayed true to who he is. Badass and down to earth straight forward
It takes 2 basses for the bass to actually be loud enough. Guess lars couldn't mute all of it
WHen they play with Jason it's like someone lit a fire under their ass.
Yup!
I like James' little riff change at 2:56, very pop... like the band they are now today. I miss the way they played in the 90's when they were smashing the black album a beat slower....
Is it just me or is two bassists fucking amazing here? Get Jason AND Rob playing every fucking gig!!!
Jason is bassist ...
Rob shoulda have taken a backseat for this.
Jason wanted him onstage.
James forgot how good it was to look to his right & have Jason growl out those killer backing vocals
At first when I read your comment I was like, "But Bob produced the Black album; they're highest selling album!" Then I remembered that my four favorite Metallica albums are the four that came before the Black album.
Oh man this whole shit award thing worths only to see Jason again
I miss Jason with Metallica. He is a mega bass player!! Absolutely no offense to Robert.
true, Jason and Cliff shaped the Metallica we know and love :)
will never forget jason,you are Metallica through and through

TWO bassists in Metallica and there is still no bass audible :p HAHAHA
Take your ipod headphones off and listen through some real speakers. It's there unless of course I'm the only one capable of hearing it.
phantumgrey On a £20k Linn stereo and there's nothing wrong with my hearing ;)
Jens Andree Why can't you hear the bass then?
I'm using a Genius headset (made for video conference) on a Toshiba laptop, and I can here the bass (basses?) perfectly...
I'm using my Creative Fatality-headset, and I can hear the bass just fine
Nice seeing Rob and Jason rocking the bass together
Bass x2 - Very Powerfull! Jason! We missed you! THAT'S THE METALLICA I LOVED TOO MUCH!!! YEAAAHHH BABY!
rob should have left the stage while jason played as a guest.
why does the drummer changes his tempo/ beats per minute, it gets faster or slower at times
Because Lars doesn't practice and hasn't since he became super rich (1992ish).
James Bayly. that and ge didn't care anymore
Put minute and second where he changes tempo plz :v
If anyone could tell me why this performance has the best sound mixing out of all the other Metallica live performances on youtube, that would be really great.
If two bass players is what it takes to make the bass audible then I think this should be a permanent thing.

@RltchieI Jason plays with a pick,which makes it louder and gives it a more aggressive sound. That's why you can hear more of what Jason plays.
It takes 2 basses to actually hear the bass.
Metallica everyone.
I find it completely absurd that 'it's 'Jason's return' and yet this other new guy Rob?Is playing as well? No way in the Hell of holy Hell's does that make any logical sense. Can any one on this earth break it down, I don't believe it's possible, it's just completely ridiculous for two bass players to play at the same time and how can it be 'his' return when the new guy is playing bass on top of his bass?? This video does in fact demonstrate insanity quite well and how delusional so called 'tributes' or 'returns' may be if not executed properly.
@Night Maher So a guy leaving a band, injuring himself, having surgery, going through lengthy rehab & playing live with this band for the first time live in 8 years isn't a return? A return for 'one night only' or a comeback from injury in general? This was also the beginning of his return to the music business in general going on to play the 30th anniversary shows & forming his own band. If you can't grasp the logic behind it then I'm afraid that is a problem you have to rectify yourself.
I could also point out that initially Rob wasn't supposed to play as it was supposed to be the Black album lineup, but Jason insisted he did because he is in the band.
Night Maher I love it. I think of it as nothing more than a really cool moment. I love it when people let bygones be bygones and enjoy a moment like this. It looks to me like the band is having fun.
Night Maher Relax Mate, its just a guest spot he's doing. In this case the word "Return" is just a simpler use. And while I agree that yes there is no real need for 2 Bassists together in one Band, in the odd case it can be done as a one off. I've done it once. Makes for an interesting sound. A British Band called Ned's Atomic Dustbin from the early 90s did it. I didn't care much for them and 2 Bassists in a Band long term simultaneously is..... well..... pointless. But they sounded interesting enough. They have some vids here on RUclips I think.
Oh and don't forget Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom" :-D
no shit. this is worse than when it originally went down. they should have tossed lars outta the band. little bitch
***** I did part of a Gig with another Bassist onstage with me once. It was quite fun actually.
@DDELFIERRO I actually have both the vids from the RnRHOF uploaded twice. RUclips changed something around the time the HQ/HD options were being tinkered with& the audio on the original uploads went al tinny. So I uploaded this one taking advantage of the higher video quality option. Believe me the audio/video quality is way better on this one than the original youtube killed ;-)
DUDE THAT DOUBLE 5 STRING BASS THOUGH!!! EPIC!
Oh Lars. Lars, oh Lars. Why? Why, Lars?
its me or Jason newsted looks like Daryl of walking dead ?!
yeah, and Senise, too
I think more like Wolverine 😀
Jason is the man when it comes to backing vocals.
The tempo is all over the place. Damn.
Who stole James' eyebrows?
thats dave mustaine because he wasnt up there playing with them.
+zyriuz2 that was not mustaine. that was james.
Bailey Lauzon no it was dave mustaine who stole his eyebrows for not beeing invited to play up on that stage because he was in metallica but got kicked out x)
+zyriuz2 oh lol I see now
Bailey Lauzon yeah hahahahah x)
Rob looks so out of place its making me feel awkward.
Hahaha yeah. He looks like a best man at a wedding.
Rob came out of those crazy metal in the hood! Not only did he have to be accepted by the metal/ music scene in Venice he also had to be accepted by the cholos and the crips! This dude is hard as nails... he can wear whatever he wants lol!
that is why he wears blue
Those Sadowsky basses really do pack a punch
Good back vocals, how i missed you!!
They will always be in the shadow of Cliff. Just like Brian Johnson to Bon Scott ...
I hear what your your saying but thinking Johnson is the exception to the rule..
it's a shame that Jason got booted out... but i'm sure he's glad to be playing with drummers whose tempos aren't all over the fucking place now... christ, Lars is painful to listen to, it seems to be getting worse with time too...
He quit the band, not kicked out
Kenneth Savoury, that's sort of a moot point. if he did actually quit, Hetfield definitely forced his hand, as he was forced to make the choice between remaining in Metallica or pursuing any outside projects.
jobriathboy He didn't fight for it enough, 16 years no song credits, he's not a victim, he should have made his voice heard years before, My Friend of Misery, that's it.
jobriathboy Jason went his own way because he wanted to do Echobrain while Metallica got their shit together. James said no so Jason quit.
Kenneth Savoury Well he wrote Blackened and My Friend Of Misery so i guess that's something
AWESOME BASS SOUND! :D
What a GROUP !!!!
I wonder how much of a fee Metallica charged Jason for the honor of playing.
I hate Rob--I wish James had not chased Jason out of Metallica--his ego could not handle Jason doing work in his side bands--fucking shame
Ooh! I can hear the Jason's growling!!
One of the few hit songs in the locrian scale.
I really hate that they keep Rob on stage for this.
Jason insisted Rob remain on stage.
2 bass players? it is just plain wrong! LAME Metallica has never been as good since Jason quit.
+kpax45 it sucks they didn't say to Rob, just stand down & let Jason do his stuff - its a one off. But thats not metallica as we all know!
at 4:13 will someone please explain how the sound is different on the guitar of james? i can play it all i just cant get that bit?
They are, they were and they always will be the greatest metal band ever.
sounds like a rock band doing a cover of this song
EPIC!!!!!!!
I miss Jason newsted I hope he puts out a newsted live DVD so I can see newsted live
Jason, YEAH !!!
