Jason is so cool man. I was heartbroken when I heard he left the band because a lot of people that were open minded and not just foolishly blaming him for the reason of Metallica changing direction knew that Jason was the one that was trying four times harder than he needed to to represent the metal community. Me and my brother will never forget the first Metallica concert we went to in the 90s and we were headbanging and screaming the lyrics to every song we were hanging over this balcony the entire time and Jason pointed at us and gave us props because he could tell we were with it through every note that was played and when he made eye contact with us that was the coolest moment for two teenage Metallica fans.
No... not only one more time... he needs to return and play together with Rob, who is also amazing performer. I don't say all the shows, because he must have his own business, but a few shows on every tour.... yes... and playing in Argentina always... I will never forget Jason's style... I think I am a fan of MetallicA because of Jason... I never see Cliff in a live show, sorry. I see Jason's and Rob's era... both are amazing.... and they deserve to play together... like in the 30th anniversary (incredible show).... And one more thing... Why not Mustain every once in a while... We love Dave in Argentina also... big fan... You may know the "Aguante..." chorus.
Jason needs to put out a book! His stories are so interesting and a very unique perspective that is far different than the rest of the boys. I think he took it in more and appreciated it more than the other guys somehow.
I love this dude, live he was a TOTAL MONSTER!! No disrespect to Rob but, I just think Jason was a much better fit. I was bummed when he left the band.
@MIND thanks for the music lesson. I said nothing about writing music. When someone is one of four people in a band they CONTRIBUTE in many other ways then writing music. That’s why Id chosen that word. Negative ass fuk. Obviously never been in a band before. BTW. 3 riffs he wrote are bad ass
The way he tells his stories makes you feel like you're right there with him. I miss Jason. Glad they been doing a lot of stuff with him. Hopefully they will do it for load and reload too.
Talking about Moscow '91: I learned that the people who were in charge of the organisation of the show( not only the management, all) were totally unprepared, had to start from scratch with all the sound equipment on the field( they didn't even have the electrical sockets there), had sloppy security. And all because the city had no experience with such huge events. So, they were kinda lucky to make through the show and succeed.
All I can say is thank you Jason, you are such a crucial part of who I am now, and with no exaggeration, probably a part of why I'm still alive now. Although it's not enough, I can only say thank you 😊.
Honestly, I loved Cliff and the music he helped create but Jason is probably my favorite. He was the connection to the fans. He was the soul of Metallica.
I always wondered why cliff stopped writing or Co-writing songs after ride the lighting . Think his last contribution was on master of puppets (the song though). To live is to die somehow doesn't count
One sad thing about Jason is that when he's mentioned, people always come up with the hardest parts and the not-so bright sides of his position. Ok, it was probably tough on some days. But let's not forget the good parts: he was the bass player in Metallica when the rocket took off, he became incredibly rich and famous, he conquered territories 99,999999% of the musicians on the planet wouldn't even dare to dream of and his life gets the “F***ING SUCCESSFUL“ label any day. I tend to believe that he must have enjoyed some pretty happy days as well and I'm glad that this kind of interviews mention it.
I got a chance to meet Jason before they went to Russia. I had just been in the country for a month and was heading back to the US through Copenhagen. Myself and companions were walking around Tivoli, and I thought I recognized James. He was sitting at a bar and Jason was standing outside with a beer. It was surreal. I remember him saying he was delirious...lol We talked with him, and he said they were going to Russia to play, so we give him some rubles. I still have the picture I took with him. Nice guy and very down to earth.
I think Jason has the most vivid memories and anecdotes out of all the band members when it comes to shows from that era. It's simply a joy to listen to. Thank you Jason.
I think James said it best when he referred to this kind of life as "bizarre." You have all these fans worshipping you, but you're also seeing things that can't easily be unseen. But at the same time I don't think there will ever be another band like Metallica, to be able to ascend to that level on a global scale and pump out the energy that they did in the late 80's and early 90's. There was a gap to fill with that style of music, they filled it, and I don't think it could be done twice by someone else.
Part 3 is the best so far! Love how he gives Pantera their props for the Russia show. I was waiting and waiting to hopefully hear some credit due to the CFH! Cool on you Jason. Awesome road stories too.
I love these stories, imo nobody could touch them back then when they were live, you can just tell how much jason loved playing with metallica and most likely still does love them despite their differences.
Total legend he talks about doing the small things during a show to be whole from the ending but every fkn show i ever watched with jason he was giving 1000 % at the start and just as much at the last song what a guy🤘🏻
Jason basically came on stage balls out. I could only dream what it would be like to be on the same stage as him. This video shows the explosive energy he brings. That is how it is done.
Love and miss you Jason :) Im so glad to see you being involved as your bass is a huge part of the sound and the songs above all. Metallica then had four main ingredients and a chef called Mr Bob Rock.. Metallica has come out in different flavours and though few ingredients have changed still they have delivered alot of different flavours and sounds with each album server for our enjoyment. Metallica 4 life. Sure made my life alot more enjoyable and made alot of friends due to this strong sonic force connecting us. Stay safe and healthy everyone. Greetz from Sweden.
@@towerofresonance4877 It was crazier last decade than either of those decades. (Pre pandemic) bands tour more than ever now. They have to. Bands in fact toured WAY less decades ago. So, you're wrong.
Thank you gentlemen for all your efforts and courageous work that evokes bravery and valor. Never let them see you sweat. I agree, there is a time and place to decompress and when you are up are on stage they say: the show must go on. Muy CALENTE 🔥
Jason!!! Yes please! Something great to watch while I'm having lunch. ❤ 🍜 and I'm first to comment! It means nothing, but it is fun nevertheless 😁 Edit: I love listening to him. You learn so much from it, and get a real window into how things were. Great story teller. Thank you for these interviews!
He still has that crazy and funny way of telling stories! XD Super cool guy, terrific bass player and amazing live performer. His stage presence was only second to James. And that is a HUGE compliment.
no exaggeration about Day on the Green. 10 hrs in the Mosh Pit at that show... IIRC I was 16. I mean Queensryche was a bit of a breather (great set, but not really mosh stuff), then METALLICA. I remember we could barely move on the BART train ride home after. And I pity that poor Taco Bell employee that night, we were so deaf I KNOW we were shouting at them, lol.
Bro. Same. I was 16 as well at that show. And had to avoid the gold chain sellers on Bart on the way back to Concord. Great fucking show. I loved Queensryche that night.
James Hetfield & Lars Ulrich should have supported Jason Newstead with his personal album! It was something different than Metallica! It was his own music, Not Metallicas Music! They should have supported his efforts. Jason supported Metallica. I understand & respect Metallica giving him everything he owns & making him a millionaire & famous! They should have supported him & let him get his music out! The shit that couldn't be in Metallica! Jason's music. I bet they regret that decision too snuff him out creatively! That's why he left.
Many of my friends are from South America and it's funny because back in the nineties in high school, I blasted Metallica and one girl was dressed all in black, could not speak a word of English but yet she started dancing almost Spanish-style to "...And Justice For All". The custodian joined in as well as I finished up my giant mural of Heathcliff and The Cadillac Cats. God I wish I could relive that day...
Jason is the ultimate Metallica fan . And pretty amazing bassist as well. :) Saw him with Metallica 6 times. 3 with Rob. I love Rob......but Jason will always be my dude. Unfortunately I'm not old enough to have seen Cliff. :/ I would've given up a couple years if it meant I could've seen him.
Im almost 40 been with Metallica since the start and I know how stupid this will sound but Rob is still kinda new bass player for me, it's Jason who I think will always be for me number one. I think many feels this way.
Metallica. You are always my favorite band forever. Because you guys are hardcore. When I jamming out to you’re music. It makes me want to go hardcore and I want to scream out loud. You are always the best band
You can tell they know jason is a fan favourite, some months ago the unpackaging of the collector edition of the black album, now this interview. I wish the band realise this and let su fan Who didnt have the chance to see a concert with him to do it… bring him back, even if only for a couple of shows
Jason said he can't play Metallica songs anymore. Can't carry a setlist. Jason is the oldest, and the band themselves are all getting pretty old and tired. I expect the next album to be their last, and final tour after as well.
@@Salomon_G he said not the way they are meant, i think he means with all the headbanging, the Running, the cinema and the drama he used to put. I think he is perfectly able to play all he wants..
@@francescosarti8184 What he said was pretty clear. He was talking about playing while you're suggesting something he didn't hint at, at all. Either way, you've made a good case for not bringing him back.
Wow that some footage from Indonesia 1993, look at that burning Lebak bulus, it make sense why Indonesian television refused to broadcast those concert
I get to interview Jason Newsted!!!!! I'm just going to talk over him every time he starts to answer my questions!!!! These F'n people that think they're more important than the subject are pathetic!!!!!!!

I too feel myself lucky to have seen him live back in '99. He was so full of energy during the whole show.
James and Lars are the founding members, but Jason is the Ambassador of this band. It would be nice to see him play one more time with you guys.
No... not only one more time... he needs to return and play together with Rob, who is also amazing performer. I don't say all the shows, because he must have his own business, but a few shows on every tour.... yes... and playing in Argentina always... I will never forget Jason's style...

Definitely. Jason got to view the experience as a fan, so he reflects upon it like a fan. A fan that got the opportunity of 12 lifetimes. :)
I really want him to write a memoir, too!
Or better yet a movie titled, 'Newsted'!
I love this dude, live he was a TOTAL MONSTER!! No disrespect to Rob but, I just think Jason was a much better fit. I was bummed when he left the band.
Jason Newsted. One of the great contributors to the music that moves me. Cheers Sir!

Jason was the most METAL member of Metallica. And I really wish he'd put out another album.
He's bringing his self-titled band back. Hopefully we'll get a new album!
The way he tells his stories makes you feel like you're right there with him. I miss Jason. Glad they been doing a lot of stuff with him. Hopefully they will do it for load and reload too.

This man is my idol since the age 17 and i'm 36 now.and he still is
All I can say is thank you Jason, you are such a crucial part of who I am now, and with no exaggeration, probably a part of why I'm still alive now. Although it's not enough, I can only say thank you 😊.
I'm from East Europe and Metallica in 80's was a breatch of freedom ...and is till today , eternal respect. Jason = Amazing Person ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The hugest metallica fan with the best shirt collection
They were foolish to lose this man
Damn, Jason is an incredible storyteller! I felt like I was there through all of it. Kudos man ✌️ Thanks for sharing the experience.
After cliff Burton, Jason Newstead is my 2nd fav metallica bassist. He was such a credit to metallica and a top bloke. His back up vocals were epic.
Honestly, I loved Cliff and the music he helped create but Jason is probably my favorite. He was the connection to the fans. He was the soul of Metallica.
I always wondered why cliff stopped writing or Co-writing songs after ride the lighting . Think his last contribution was on master of puppets (the song though).
To live is to die somehow doesn't count
So heartwarming to hear all this! ❤️
I agree, I always liked Jason!

what a spectacular interview! I'm loving it. what fantastic stories and this man talking, wow

Jason is geeking out and I love every second of it
Jason ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So good to see him on the official channel!
Crazy to be so important to history. What an impact
Love that he points out they were the biggest American heavy rock group. That has to be so satisfying.
“Pantera, they’re in Texas... they’ll swim over”. Laughed my fucking ass off!!!!! JN - what a legend!
God I love and really miss Jason. His energy during those shows was just so contagious.
Part 3 is the best so far! Love how he gives Pantera their props for the Russia show. I was waiting and waiting to hopefully hear some credit due to the CFH! Cool on you Jason. Awesome road stories too.
Far beyond driven saved 90s metal.
I love that backdrop picture Steffan
Jason newsted is my favorite bass player
Energetic bass player/backing vocals. 🤘
@@nin2852 yes
I'm really glad there is no animosity between Jason and the rest of the band
I love these stories, imo nobody could touch them back then when they were live, you can just tell how much jason loved playing with metallica and most likely still does love them despite their differences.
Loved Jason talking about Pantera's show. Fucking amazing interview.
When he was talking about everyone having their own workout routines I was waiting for him to say James was drinking.
OMG, he's so amazing
Total legend he talks about doing the small things during a show to be whole from the ending but every fkn show i ever watched with jason he was giving 1000 % at the start and just as much at the last song what a guy🤘🏻
For me he is always remain in the Band!!! He's Memory Remains!!!
That’s awesome 🤟🤟 newsted the man💪
Jason basically came on stage balls out. I could only dream what it would be like to be on the same stage as him. This video shows the explosive energy he brings. That is how it is done.
So nice to see Jason so stoked! Saw Metallica in Stockholm December 18 1992 it was awesome!

Jason, do you have any plans to play music again, or have plans to start a new band.. you are a great musician and have great character
Jason should write an autobiography.
For ever Jason 🇮🇹🖤💗
I had no idea they did 300 shows a year for three years on the Black Album tour. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
It was 300 shows in 3 years, not per year. That's still a lot for arena shows, given the logistics. 300 shows a year is not possible.
It was as crazy in the nineties as it was in the sixties, on the road all the time nonstop
@@towerofresonance4877 It was crazier last decade than either of those decades. (Pre pandemic) bands tour more than ever now. They have to. Bands in fact toured WAY less decades ago. So, you're wrong.
Джейсон, ты лучший!!!
Aguevooooo!!!! 💪😸😸
I feel Jason was and is a great bassist and he was a better fit for Metallica than Rob. No disrespect, but I really miss Jason. What a nice person!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL HAIL JASONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you gentlemen for all your efforts and courageous work that evokes bravery and valor. Never let them see you sweat. I agree, there is a time and place to decompress and when you are up are on stage they say: the show must go on. Muy CALENTE 🔥

So humble.

The fact that you put a picture of Jason winking in the thumbnail made me giggled❤️😁😁😍😍😂😂
Jason should write a book on being a rock musician.
He still IS metallica! I get it rob is a perfect bass player. But cmon, jason IS the metallica man.
Vida longa ao mito newstead 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Liked when he talked about monsters of rock Moscow amd pantera. i still go back and watch those vids as well
thanks for the videos
The mighty Jason speaks
Cool to hear Jason talking about getting an adrenaline rush from thinking of Ecstasy of Gold before a show
I'm from UKRAINE; thanks so very much; YOU BEST OF THE BEST 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏🤝🤝🤝🇺🇦😉
The Pacific Rim part of the tour was great. Saw Metallica in Australia before the Indonesian leg. Metallica's popularity and dodgey scalpers. ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
I love how articulate he is. It’s not a chore to listen to him…unlike Lars.
