Yes Jason really was. Jason had to go and do something with his life than to have so much restrictions, while part of MetallicA. It was tough.. but he did what he needed to do. I miss him in the band, sometimes. He has however been very active until the last couple of years. I admire him and what his brought into his life journey. His abilities are amazing. All that matters is his happiness and life.
@@jsnunya not live it wasn't and after black album Lars muted Jason on everything they done, like seriously you can barely hear Jason's bass if you actually listen to all of it you'll be like wait there's no bass here wtf and then you will start listening really hard with all of your attention on hearing that bass and then that's when you realize that it's there but you can't hear it unless you're really listening for it or you take away vocals and the drum track and guitar tracks away
Just imagine being Jason right at that moment. Nobody else on stage with him at all. All eyes on him. That giant exhale before he started his solo speaks volumes.
Cliff obvious a legend, Rob is a phenomenal musician, Loved him in Suicidal, Ozzy. & Infectious Grooves..but JASON damn he put the METAL in my opinion in Metallica.
Yes I so agree. My favourite bassist is Jason, also. Saw MetallicA with Jason as their bassist. All three men you mentioned have brought the best into the MetallicA sound. All are great and deserve to notoriety they deserve 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
James said (you can hear it in Some Kind of Monster) that basically this was the only way he could love people He just would not let them go. Clearly he was insecure about all of this.
I think the only critique I have for that bassline is its creative in sound but musically its beginning of anesthesia notes slowed and playing octaves....Jason held his own but at the same time played too close to cliffs already written material so he didn't stand out with his own sound until it was too late
Jason went to school in my hometown for a few years. I remember him. He is super talented. Seems pretty humble too, if you ask Me. And deserving of respect from the rest of the band too.
Jason made Metallica more than the band even realizes,maybe they do,maybe theres times when kirk looks at lars and says "we should gave kept Jason, now dont get me wrong Rob is a BEAST, one if the best to ever pick up a,bass, he just dont fit Metallica,just like he didnt fit Ozzy,Rob needs to be in a band like Infectious grooves,where he drives the music as more of a lead player,not just rythm for Kirk and James ,Jason though was perfect for the job ,he made the bass support the music but still have its own identity
Here here Aaron Davis!! Metallica were unstoppable with Jason,he fitted the slot perfectly and gave the whole band drive and direction. Metallica will always be my favourite band but as soon as Jason left they lost their way.
Cliff was treated by James and Lars as a 'partner.' While Jason and Rob's treated as 'employees.' Jason never felt the respect and I'm sure many of his creative input were dismissed. And Rob's now also just playing the bass as an 'operator' rather than a 'creator.' Just doing what's instructed of him. That's what people have to understand.
So fucking true! Jason was the best PURE musician and Rob.....metallica in no way deserves a bassist of his caliber! He is beat with infectious grooves. He is not a wannabe thrash bassist, he is a pure thrash and pure AF funk bassist.
@@blacktoothfox677 these people are so emotional haha. Just enjoy the music or don’t. The only people who will know exactly what went down is them. Didn’t Jason do a couple songs with them live over the years? If they’re on good terms, what are you guys so on about?
Jasons bass and James Hetfields voice in these days was absolutely incredible. My friend of misery is an amazing song with an amazing bass player and an amazing voice. Its not long after this Hetfield really hurt his voice and Metallica has never sounded the same since.
Aww you guys missed a show with metallica? I totally agree that james should have kept destroying himself so you guys could have a good evening. Ffs be happy that you are able to see them in the future and not just this year. Metallica aren't some gods who can this level of lifestyle up, they're only human. And no this is not comming from a metallica shill, this comes from a guy who's had a huge drinking problem himself. Get real fuckers Edit : im not a guy to defends everything metallica does, but i will always defend an alcoholic who has chosen to change the way he lives. Fukn incels complainting about this guy not taking a bullet for them.
+kornfreak78 Yeah i miss his aggressive playing, he really felt the vibes, just look when Jason was invited to play on the 30th anniversary concert at Fillmore, he had more energy / aggression than James, Kirk, Lars and Rob combined.
@@khall187 Clearly you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Rob is the most technical bassist Metallica has had, and he's also my least favorite.
chris V you don’t have the original VHS of this show. Maybe the cds from the box set. The vhs shows you have are seattle and San Diego. This is live feed from the big screens During one of the 5 shows
*For anyone wondering what's wrong with the sound:* the mics have "noise gates" on'em, which means they turn off as the sound falls below certain level in dB (e.g. the voice of a singer). You can hear the crowd noise quite well, when they talk and then the volume drops. This is done for cleaner live sound, so that no sound of everything going on getting to the mic gets into PA system (thus loops out to mic and PA back again, creating awful feedback) when there's no vocals. The bass is just a "direct sound", which means it was recorded directly from guitar, passing over the amp. That's why it sounds bad also (no sustain). The signal is split - one way goes to PA with speaker cabinet and mic (probably also having a gate), the other - directly to the mixing desk. In this instance we got the latter. No secret for a sound guy here.
@@PaulKretz I’m confused admittedly. You mentioned we just got the bass directly, ni amp/speaker cab, just the signal + effects. You mentioned the signal was split to get there, the other half going to the PA from the microphones in front of the cabinets. Am I following correctly?
@@pat8437 That's right. I mean here, in this video, we only hear the direct part of the "splitted" signal. The other half was most probably routed to the FX-PREAMP-AMP-CAB-MIC-MIX-PA for the audience to get great sounding bass. BUT, that signal from the miked cab can also be routed back to the mixing deck for recording. In metal music direct and amp bass tracks are quite often mixed together in different proportions to get really tight sound (both live and on record). Having two tracks there can also be parallel compression going, distortion over DI track and other effects... Sound engineering and mixing hides a lot of tricks 🤘😎
I dont know man,Im listening through studio headphones and the sound is outstanding. never heard on you tube better bass sound. also you tube compress the sound
0:06 Born under a bad sign - Albert king (written by Booker T. Jones (Booker T and the MG's) and William Bell of Stax Records, 1967) Great blues song classic. Jason is cool
What I always really liked about Jason’s bass playing is that he knew where to place his bass lines in a song. His bass lines fit really well with what ever Lars would playing on the drums. Essentially he would punch up the bottom end of a song and make Lars’s drumming sound better. That’s why I like bass players who follow the drums as oppose to the guitars. That’s my one complaint with Rob is that he tends to follow the guitar a bit too much and that compromises the bottom end of the drums in a song. Now with that being said, Rob is still an excellent bass player it’s just that I prefer Jason’s style of playing.
Most of the time ive spend in bands, im always looked down on or talked down because I choose to play With a pick, they always tell me its wrong and that picks are for players with no skill or that using a pick is inferior to fingerplay. But watching this and other amazing pick bassplayers like Steve Swallow really really brings me joy and lets me Know that theres no correct way to play bass, fuck the elitists. ..
The people who usually bitch about the pick thing are other bassists who don't gig and spend time bitching on forums like old women in a bingo hall...I've been gigging for almost 30 years, I use a pick..all in preference...Fuck em man...Their opinions are about as important as a fart in the wind. Keep on keeping on...Cheers.
Its true,well not entirely true,but a handle pick bass player is more limited than a bare finger bass player. But handle pick or bare fingers,whatever,you cant say handle pick is for amateurs,if people are use to picks yeah,but a bare fingers has way more tools not to speak of the speed..
Oh man, that Alembic bass with all those EMG pickups, knobs, switches, and different sound alternatives...That's an instrument of legend! I wish I could once play it..!!!
@Derfel Cadarn speak for yourself. I have experience with demonic nonsense and the devil and all his trolls run when they here the lords name..

But my #1 song in Jesus Name Above All Names. Jesus loves you. ☯
it's 1:00 a.m. i have watched about 30 of this metallica live videos, tomorrow morning i have early wake up call i'm doing my driver license test .. yet here i am not sleeping watching metallica what am i doing with my life
Dude is the real deal. I remember hearing Flotsam and Jetsam for the first time back in the eighties, and the bass really stood out. Not to trivialize the rest of those dudes, but Jason played rings around em. You could tell then that he was destined for great things. Then, the next thing you know, he popped up in Metallica and the rest is history. He saved those guys from Heavy Metal purgatory (RIP Cliff). He would be proud...
Jason is better than Robert in my opinion. I think he's a more aggressive bass player, better bass solos, kickass vocals, and outstanding distortion. Sure Robert is pretty damn fast but put anything else that Robert has next to Jason, Jason's going to win.
this video and part of the concert inspired and influenced me to start playing bass. i watched it first time about 20 years ago. everything about jason, his bass, tone, playing style, attitude etc.. him and billy gould from faith no more are my 2 favorite bass players.
I think Jason was great in Flotsam and Jetsam. In Metallica, it seems like the other guys just had him play what they wanted and he wasn’t ever really as involved in the creativity part of writing as in Flots. When Jason left Flots, Flots’s sound changed too.
Jason was So underutilized by the rest of Metallica. If they would have released him instead of repressing him, I could only imagine what energy their music would have had. IMO James feared Jason's potential. Miss you Jason Life long Metallica fan \m/ 💀 \m/ BIRTH SCHOOL METALLICA DEATH
jeremy miller Jason was very instrumental in Load and Reload. They didn’t only ever haze him ya know. He became a serious creative force in his last two albums with the band. At the request of James and Lars.
I have a lot of respect for both Cliff and Rob and think they are both great bass players but Metallica were at their peak when Jason was with them. Don't forget it.
I have a lot of respect for Jason as a bass player, and I love his playing on Metallica records (and of course F&J!) but honestly this solo doesn't do much for me.
I'm no bass expert but my first thought was..."am I the only one who thinks this sounds like shit?"....love Metallica but this does not do it for me. Maybe that's just my lack of bass guitar knowledge talking
Thanks for the upload.Nice to hear Jason acknowledging his past at 5.35 with his solo from 'Metalshock' From F&J's album 'Doomsday for the Deceiver'. He was amazing back then in 1985/'86 and still is. Just type in Flotsam and Jetsam 1986 to see what I mean. Knowing your Metal History helps!
Хороший бассист. Молодец, что вовремя ушёл из Металлики, потому что сейчас они сочиняют не очень хорошую музыку. И ведут себя на сцене очень пафосно и превратились из рокеров в показушников. Но в прошлом они были на высоте и я постоянно прослушиваю их музыку. У меня есть все их альбомы и гаражные записи во FLACе. Уважаю их творчество до 1991г. включительно. Но потом... Единственным самобытным в этой группе остался Kirk Hammett. Оставьте пожалуйста Своё мнение, почитатели группы Metallica.
After listening to this concert for years on CD from the live shit box set. I am hoping the video footage is included on dvd with the remastered Black Album box set. Keeping my fingures crossed!
Thats because he wasnt at the same level as Cliff or others. He is not a bad musician, but not a exceptional bassist to make a good solo. In this video, he plays just random stuff😡
too bad mr. ulrich has such a huge ego and cant deal with the ghosts of the past... screwed up jason and did hard on trujillo.. man this is bs. lars needs to get over his internal demons. period
Lars what can i say. Smart. As the story goes. He's mean and egotistical. Bis drumming has really gone down hill. Man has difficulty keeping time. Too fast then too slow. Back and forth. Careful how you treat others. Good Lord will humble you.
Pretty sure people hating on Rob never held an instrument in their life. Cliff played only finger style, Jason played pick only. Rob plays both, and has a way of cutting real well into the mix. Saying Rob is Better than Jason or Jason is better than Rob is like saying the sun is better than the moon. It’s just an empty statement. Without a doubt the band would completely different with Cliff, he was light years ahead of anyone and actually had writing credits.

Lol
This is by far the best comment I have ever seen
What a lovely comment
Now that was fuckin funny 🤣🤣🤣
Deaf people appreciated it to
He was SO underappreciated. He literally was the bridge that led to Metallicas future success. I will ALWAYS admire Jason. Pure, unadulterated talent.
ok, but that was a shitty solo
I agree!!
He’s the bassist I’ll remember for most Metallicas prime

So insecure he let him do bass solos?!

He just would not let them go. Clearly he was insecure about all of this.
My friend of Misery is a very underrated Metallica song....excellent song
Kenneth Thomason not sure about the whole song but damn that Intro
Rico Williams it’s not awful or anything, just wish they had made it an instrumental like they had originally planned

Jason and Dave should form a band by the name of "The Unforgiven" with Josh Freese on drums and Mike Patton on vocals. That'd bei awesome, Dude...
I love how the crowd cheers so loud when Jason puts the Mexican hat on the stage mics pick it up
it's 1:00 a.m. i have watched about 30 of this metallica live videos, tomorrow morning i have early wake up call i'm doing my driver license test .. yet here i am not sleeping watching metallica what am i doing with my life
+Ola Mola you doin it right buddy
I always do the same... Anyways, how did it go?
you shall pass brother its a garonteed fact!
@@normanhall7591 ...that was 2 years ago
icexplura lol same here
Dude is the real deal. I remember hearing Flotsam and Jetsam for the first time back in the eighties, and the bass really stood out. Not to trivialize the rest of those dudes, but Jason played rings around em. You could tell then that he was destined for great things. Then, the next thing you know, he popped up in Metallica and the rest is history. He saved those guys from Heavy Metal purgatory (RIP Cliff). He would be proud...
Thank you for the soundboard version. The original is amazing, but loved to hear the nuances. And I can still hear the crowd in my head! Awesome.
Holy shit this is my first time hearing Jason's laugh. It's beautiful.
I've always loved Jason's bass tone.
Hindsight is 20/20. This is a bad MF’er who clearly fit the band. So disappointing he didn’t get his props.
a random sombrero appears
Maxwell Gonzalez AHAHA!
It fucking appears when I fuckin read it lmao
plays the star spangled banner in mexico ftw
Doppey Smouker WHAAAT
Matt CFH they're an American band why not
Lars brings his fucking danish flag everywere and we dn´t give a fuck, plus latinos go yelling patriotic shouts every fucking place they go
Antonio Centeno lol truth
Cliff played it during his solo on multiple dates of their last tour with him. :) And that was Europe
When Jason plays the USA anthem better than Kirk and James
and when he did it in Mexico City
Jason is better than Robert in my opinion. I think he's a more aggressive bass player, better bass solos, kickass vocals, and outstanding distortion. Sure Robert is pretty damn fast but put anything else that Robert has next to Jason, Jason's going to win.
I wouldn't call covering a multitude of songs a good "solo".
Well either way the style of Jasons playing in some songs is better than robs. Creeping death, bells, etc, and also vocals. Kick tremendous ass
American Bassist I love Jasonic. I think his last Newsted CD was amazing. But Robert is also great too. just miss Jason.
No
I miss Jason’s backing vocals a lot.
Clff and Jason OMG the freaking rocked the bass guitar and this is why i love bass guitar holly s
I liked Jason most of Metallica back in 90's :) Still think he never should've been out...
They gave him no choice. He'd have been fired had he not quit.
Metallica will never be as great again and newsted is the best metal band in the world
5:55 jason start to use usa song in a mexican concert jaja
jaja es cierto crack saludos desde tucasa xdxdxd
@@LuisGomez-vt6yi te estoy buscando tengo miedo
this video and part of the concert inspired and influenced me to start playing bass. i watched it first time about 20 years ago. everything about jason, his bass, tone, playing style, attitude etc.. him and billy gould from faith no more are my 2 favorite bass players.
Hey James, Lars and Kirk ..Bring back Jason to you all
Wow the bass is audible! 😮
I think Jason was great in Flotsam and Jetsam. In Metallica, it seems like the other guys just had him play what they wanted and he wasn’t ever really as involved in the creativity part of writing as in Flots. When Jason left Flots, Flots’s sound changed too.
Kenny Barnett h
Not really.
Jason was So underutilized by the rest of Metallica. If they would have released him instead of repressing him, I could only imagine what energy their music would have had. IMO James feared Jason's potential. Miss you Jason
Life long Metallica fan
\m/ 💀 \m/
BIRTH
SCHOOL
METALLICA
DEATH
jeremy miller Jason was very instrumental in Load and Reload. They didn’t only ever haze him ya know. He became a serious creative force in his last two albums with the band. At the request of James and Lars.
Black Sabbath Ftw
Which sabbath's song is it? I can't find it.
ScMarianek 5:08 Black Sabbath 'NIB'
james was nothing but bully to Jason.
They're grown men. Grown men don't get bullied unless they like it for sexual reasons. It's not the same thing like in junior high school.
LSweet2007 Hetfield and Hammett bullied Jason Newstead for years.. End of
quacka 1003 *ulrich
quacka 1003 yeah Kirk is such a bully you fuck
LSweet2007 I’m pretty sure he got hazed pretty intensely by James and Lars.
I had no idea that Jason had cut his hair by early 1993. I always thought it was later than that.
I always thought he was the best PURE musician in that band
Cliff: better bassist, amazing composer
Jason: best performer, more energetic unique style
Rob: he exists i guess
When did Phil Anselmo play the bass?
I have a lot of respect for both Cliff and Rob and think they are both great bass players but Metallica were at their peak when Jason was with them.
Don't forget it.
Genio Jason! De mis bajistas favoritos! Toco N.I.B en una parte! Otro temazo!
I have a lot of respect for Jason as a bass player, and I love his playing on Metallica records (and of course F&J!) but honestly this solo doesn't do much for me.
This is so fucking entertaining...
*Jason "bass" Newsted*
🤘🤷♂️🤘
Зря они с Ньюстедом покоцались. Он там был на своём месте
Ему хотелось свой проект, вот и ушел, если бы он хотел дальше играть в Металлике и не отвлекаться на другой проект, он бы думаю это сделал
@@n1ckpower да х.з., что там случилось. У каждого своя правда.
@@TheLosvid это по его словам :/
@@n1ckpower наверное, каждый бы хотел свой проект, если бы твои басс партии на мастеринге альбомов выкручивали в ноль, как в And justice for all.
I agree with all the points of view mentioned here
i was there!!!! thanks for this!!
This literally sounds like a 12 year old learning to play bass in their bedroom on a pawn shop Squier through a karaoke machine....
I'm no bass expert but my first thought was..."am I the only one who thinks this sounds like shit?"....love Metallica but this does not do it for me. Maybe that's just my lack of bass guitar knowledge talking
2nd best bass player to walk the planet.
Hahaha guess you never heard a 12 year of play?
Abe Garfield winner!!! 😂 you’re so right!! ✊🏻
“Wanna hear Jason do some bass here?!”
“…”
Jason's wah sounds like that song that plays while you're fighting Glados in Portal.
Thanks for the upload.Nice to hear Jason acknowledging his past at 5.35 with his solo from 'Metalshock' From F&J's album 'Doomsday for the Deceiver'. He was amazing back then in 1985/'86 and still is. Just type in Flotsam and Jetsam 1986 to see what I mean. Knowing your Metal History helps!
Love Jason, never really thought Rob fitted in
Thanx JN for the blackened main riff, one of best Metallica riffs👌
They were lucky to get Jason after cliff,and they blew it...Rob just isn't metallic.
What's spectacular is how raw this recording is!
Хороший бассист. Молодец, что вовремя ушёл из Металлики, потому что сейчас они сочиняют не очень хорошую музыку. И ведут себя на сцене очень пафосно и превратились из рокеров в показушников. Но в прошлом они были на высоте и я постоянно прослушиваю их музыку. У меня есть все их альбомы и гаражные записи во FLACе. Уважаю их творчество до 1991г. включительно. Но потом... Единственным самобытным в этой группе остался Kirk Hammett.
Оставьте пожалуйста Своё мнение, почитатели группы Metallica.
I hear some of the day that never comes there at the end of the first part . Loved the whole video
Bass + wah?
Yes. Has been around since the 60s.
cliff did it, too.
Arnaud Borne Jason Hammett
Arnaud Borne different things for different people I suppose
michael anthony does too.
I really love the first part of his playing. Now i finally noticed it‘s „Born under a Bad sign“ by Albert King. 🤦🏻♂️
My friend misery should've been a instrumental: James and Lars messed that up.still a great song with vocals but better as a instrumental
Nice job from Skaneateles, NY . Do AR 15 piece. Hope to see u in Skaneateles this summer for a violin jam. Love the wa wa. Smart.
Джейсон красавчик!
The fact that he played the american anthem in mexico city
5:33 Metalshock by Jason's previous band Flotsam and Jetsam!!
i went in the 99 to the metallica concert with sepultura and was almoust like being there again with that bass sounds i really enjoy it
Jason plays the star spangled banner in Mexico lol
After listening to this concert for years on CD from the live shit box set. I am hoping the video footage is included on dvd with the remastered Black Album box set. Keeping my fingures crossed!
I’ve never once gotten the chills from this mans bass solos like I do cliffs..... i just don’t FEEL the music like I do with cliff
Thats because he wasnt at the same level as Cliff or others. He is not a bad musician, but not a exceptional bassist to make a good solo. In this video, he plays just random stuff😡
I LOVE YOU JASON NEWSTED GROUP TURN BACK
too bad mr. ulrich has such a huge ego and cant deal with the ghosts of the past... screwed up jason and did hard on trujillo.. man this is bs. lars needs to get over his internal demons. period
RemetinecBoys Lars wasn’t the issue with Jason.
RemetinecBoys what issues does lars have? I've never heard about them.
Lars what can i say. Smart. As the story goes. He's mean and egotistical. Bis drumming has really gone down hill. Man has difficulty keeping time. Too fast then too slow. Back and forth. Careful how you treat others. Good Lord will humble you.
One of the best of Jason’s
6:35 fck meeeeeee
Doppey Smouker shd
Pretty sure people hating on Rob never held an instrument in their life. Cliff played only finger style, Jason played pick only. Rob plays both, and has a way of cutting real well into the mix.
Saying Rob is Better than Jason or Jason is better than Rob is like saying the sun is better than the moon. It’s just an empty statement.
Without a doubt the band would completely different with Cliff, he was light years ahead of anyone and actually had writing credits.
6:03 Did he play the US National Anthem?
Yeah
Jason is the new Lemmy 🤘🏻
