Jason has always been overshadowed by Cliff for being "not as good as him", but do you really have such expectations for people? Jason is an amazing bassist and he deserves more attention in my opinion
He was as good, check out the first Flotsam and Jetsam album, his bass lines are killer and he also wrote many of the songs. No doubt Lars and James heard that album and were blown away. But after Burton and Mustaine wrote all their early material they felt indignant about letting someone else come in and do that again.
Does it matter who is better? Jason played pick, cliff played fingers. Can we compare it? Not really. Do we have personal opinion’s? Yes. Do we love Both of these Guys? HELL YEAH.
People don’t realize how difficult is to play bass that aggressive like Jason.That fast picking but at the same time hitting the right note every time.For that fast picking you need very big shoulder stamina,I tried to play like that but I could only play 15 seconds.
Finally someone said it, as bassist who is into metal and punk, stamina is key, and holy shit it takes training, I play with fingers mainly and occasionally with pick, and the amount of stamina is unreal during long sessions
@@aaronenduro3168 well i play guitar and picked up my bass to try and didn't really have any issues tremolo picking out some cross-string riffs on it for about a couple minutes before I got bored and decided that I proved the point to myself. I felt it in my forearm a bit until I adjusted technique a little and it was fine.
yeah I agree in 💯% with You bro !! I miss him He fucking kicked ass and he was a m a z i n g backing vocalist ! He gave like his whole heart on the scene.. ! Metallica just isn't the same without him ! 😕🤬 Cheers!
RG Series Jason knew how to punch up the bottom end of Metallica’s music and his bass lines made Lars’s drumming sound so much better! Jason’s bass playing and style followed Lars’s drumming which is the primary role of a bass player. There are always opportunities that allow the bass player to throw in a bass solo or add to a guitar riffs breakdown, but bass should always follow the drums because they are the rhythm section of a band. Jason new this and his work with Metallica shows. The bottom end of most Metallica songs since Jason’s departure have never been the same!
khazz01 he was so much more than a hired gun. He was Metallica’s biggest fan for sure. The other guys were dicks tho. Took Jason’s departure for them to mature and realize wnat egotistic shitheads they were.
Of course your comment has hundreds of likes because it's bullshit. Hired guns don't write music like the main riff from Blackened and what he's playing here from My Friend of Misery
Used to see him around a lot in Scottsdale Arizona. His former band Flotsam and Jetsam used to practice a few blocks down from my parents house. He used to walk by with bass in hand. And no I never got to know him. I was a 14 year old kid at the time and all the flots guys were already 22-23 ish. He also worked at Los Arcos mall in Scottsdale making sandwiches and washing dishes. That I remember! Actually it would be awesome to see him go back to Flotsam!
Lmao. This is exactly what I tell people. I CAN'T stand Rob. Personally I don't think hes even a good enough bassist to be in Metallica. How do you go from a bass god like cliff. To a bass master like Jason. Then a standard basic bass player like Rob. I guarentee if Rob would of tried out for them back right after cliff died like Jason did he never would of made it. Jason would of beat him out just like all the others
Bobby Sherman I understand people have different opinions but Rob isn’t just a regular bassist have you’ve seen his slapping skills and the dude has rhythm And have you seen the guys band history he’s been in suicidal tendencies, Ozzy osbourne’s band , and now Metallica Don’t get me wrong Cliff and Jason are badass but I think Rob is also a badass and he’s a great bassist
Bobby Sherman rob is a way better bass player than jason, too many dickride Jason cuz he wasn’t treated right and shit like if you guys know and shit 😂 if anything rob is too good for Metallica, back in the infection grooves and suicidal tendencies days he was able to show his full potential and now he has to play easy ass Metallica songs on bass I mean he does it for the money which idc that’s his life
Nick Bussard I was only watching Seattle 89' Lastnight, thinking the same thing about Lat night as I'm going to see them for the First time in June And, I do have to agree there Jason is Excellent But regardless,..I Can't wait!!!..🙌😆
They were still fuckin and getting getting fucked up. When Jason was in the band. When robert joined they were getting sober and becoming/already were fathers.
Jason is highly underrated. He might not be as good as Cliff, but no one can match Cliff. Jason just did his own thing and it was awesome. Jason, I'm sure you made Cliff very proud.
I’m a bit of an insider. I remember him from Scottsdale AZ when he was with Flotsam, used to see him, Eric AK and the other guys around constantly. Fun times
He’s often overlooked, but to be honest (and I know these albums are not fan favourites): His work on Load and Reload is phenomenal! Tone, feel, composition... top notch!
Del 0:51 al 1:18 es jodidamente bestial, la expresión facial te hace dar cuenta que realmente "siente" lo que está haciendo y por la puta madre, que bien suena! Pocas veces he escuchado algo así.
It's interesting because as big of a dream as it was that Jason joined the band he still never made a thrash record with them.. he joined the band on Justice and you couldn't hear him and then the next album was basically metal pop and it was a wrap after that.. only until now was he able to ever thrash out with them on new material and even that is slightly awkward
Halloween night 1992 Dublin , Ireland and Jason decides to tease the Snakepit by dangling his bass over them when some guy jumps and grabs the head , cue a tug of war for about 10/15 seconds and the guy finally let's go. Everyone in stitches laughing and poor Jason raging. Really miss him and would have him back tomorrow.
It's so surreal finally seeing video of this performance since I've owned a bootleg of this show titled Tearing Your Insides Out since 1998 and never knew until a few months ago that video of it actually existed.
Ive seen this on RUclips before, no offense, the quality is great, Im sure you have insane videos Ive only seen here, but when I saw the rare in the past few from this show I couldnt click fast enough. That being said, you have the whole show I havent seen the whole show as far as I can remember so keep up the great work, love it. Sub, like and comment inc!
As much as I love Hetfield and Lars and how much they've inspired me I always gravitated and related to Jason the most. Such a phenomenal and expressive musician. His look, style, sound, vocals etc. Just perfect 🤘🖤
Ese Jason para mí el mejor bajista de Metallica,con una fuerza tremenda en demostrar que es un buen bajista y estuvo a la altura de Metallica,ofreciendo lo mejor de èl y dejando su alma en cada nota,sòlo hay que verle la cara de esfuerzo y como lo vivía,Jason sentía lo que hacía,Metallica ganò con este hombre en todo,te hacía hasta de vocalista,muchas gracias Jason por tu talento,esfuerzo y dedicaciòn🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️
MrMouldybread I dislike this community a lot because of all the arguing. Can we agree that they're all amazing bassists? They're all great in their own way
Jason’s Footprint in Metallica will forever be remembered. No matter what anybody says; fans or the band, he was a bad*** m**********. And so much energy on stage
I especially liked how he worked some flamenco feeling into the "My Friend Of Misery" intro and then of course he always got the little tribute to his old band in there (all us old timers know which part that is) since he wrote most everything on that first album of theirs anyway. I agree, Jason got shat on way too hard by fans and by the band themselves and I don't blame him for his feelings towards them. He's a great player in his own right.
watched his first video on his channel and subscribed.. he is very humble about his ability and he is still honored to have played as part of the force which was 90's Metallica. The other guys in the band are not humble, Kirk claims to be humble but hes not!
I Grew up on lightning, puppets and justice with black soon after ..load was like a wine ..got into it years after its release...and it's for the most part a masterpiece...but they need a Jason and a Dave ...
Rob and Jason two different playing technique and both very talented no doubt about it. Something about Jason made the band more metal and a monster energy with him on stage. Guy played his ass off and gave it everything he had. Jason was heavy metal
Controversial opinion but Jason is my Metallica Bass Player. I love the heart and soul he brought to the band and the childlike wonderment. When he left I really stopped listening to them, not on purpose just felt like that little special something flickered out with his departure.
Meanwhile in a parallel universe: Cliff is alive and well, Jason was added as a second bassist for the Justice album, and Metallica is a base for all metal music to be compared to so much more than they are in this universe.
Jason has always been overshadowed by Cliff for being "not as good as him", but do you really have such expectations for people? Jason is an amazing bassist and he deserves more attention in my opinion
Buns Rabbot He is an amazing artist
Jason played all of Cliff's parts, and played them well. With a pick. He was bad ass, and as much as I like Rob, I'll always miss Jason.
He was as good, check out the first Flotsam and Jetsam album, his bass lines are killer and he also wrote many of the songs. No doubt Lars and James heard that album and were blown away. But after Burton and Mustaine wrote all their early material they felt indignant about letting someone else come in and do that again.
I don't think cliff wants what metallica did to jason
respect to Cliff and Rob as well, but Jason is the best bassist 'tallica could ever even wish for
Does it matter who is better? Jason played pick, cliff played fingers. Can we compare it? Not really. Do we have personal opinion’s? Yes. Do we love Both of these Guys? HELL YEAH.
THANK YOU. Someone is thinking normally
excellent statement. both players are unique.
@Freddie Hankins hey dont disrespect cliff like that
Marien Passenier OH YEA!!..NO DOUBT! 💯!!!
@@robertbaker5156 dnhdmdldmndnkksjndkskdnncjdRnsnls bxbxb
He's the reason that made me love the bass so much!
I love this damn bastard!
Me too!
same man,he is the reason why i want to have and play at a bass guitar
Baerghet Trulmaelder he’s a cool dude, he used to walk down my street almost every day on his way to Flotsam and Jetsam practice in Scottsdale.
TRUE!!! ABSOLUTELY!!! It's because of only him I fell in love with bass, nobody could produce the same impression!!!
Same here.
honestly, he did his part and filled Big shoes, he should have been more Respected. everyone seen it. Jason you made Cliff proud.
Hell yeah
yeah bro nobody beat jasons devil voice not even cliff
Just like nick menza when he was in megadeth he was a very underrated drum player. He was outstanding just like jason was!!!
Absolutely agree
People don’t realize how difficult is to play bass that aggressive like Jason.That fast picking but at the same time hitting the right note every time.For that fast picking you need very big shoulder stamina,I tried to play like that but I could only play 15 seconds.
People doesn't know until they try
they say James is the fastest down picker ever but Jason kept up with him just fine
Finally someone said it, as bassist who is into metal and punk, stamina is key, and holy shit it takes training, I play with fingers mainly and occasionally with pick, and the amount of stamina is unreal during long sessions
Jason was always a machine as a bassist . Not to mention alot more string gauge to pluck than James and Kirk combined at those speeds .
@@aaronenduro3168 well i play guitar and picked up my bass to try and didn't really have any issues tremolo picking out some cross-string riffs on it for about a couple minutes before I got bored and decided that I proved the point to myself.

Metallica feels incomplete without jason. He was the soul, the energy, and the drive for the band. He was not only a band member, but their #1 fan.
yeah I agree in 💯% with You bro !! I miss him He fucking kicked ass and he was a m a z i n g backing vocalist ! He gave like his whole heart on the scene.. ! Metallica just isn't the same without him ! 😕🤬 Cheers!
Sold out after Jason Newsted
They've been incomplete ever since Cliff died.
All 3 of their bassist are great
Rob is better
0:56 letting go of his anger and frustration.
G32 It’s almost hard to watch. It gives me goosebumps. I feel for him man
Jason always put that heavy style on metallica when the others members started looking like "rockstars"....jason keep it as heavy as possible

He said somewhere he had actually written quite a few demos but they just never tapped into it because james wrote pretty much the entire albums
it's a shame he was just a hired gun. he had so much talent and they never really tapped into it.
khazz01 he was so much more than a hired gun. He was Metallica’s biggest fan for sure. The other guys were dicks tho. Took Jason’s departure for them to mature and realize wnat egotistic shitheads they were.
@@conradsz Yeah, James and Lars treated him like shit. Rob is a better bassist, but Jason fits Metallica more.
Of course your comment has hundreds of likes because it's bullshit. Hired guns don't write music like the main riff from Blackened and what he's playing here from My Friend of Misery
MD2265 jason has way better stage prescence, i dont really care about technical ability that much. Jason with metallica sounds good to me.
nkmcfrln yup, some of metallicas most immortal riffs were written by kirk and jason
Jason had so much passion, drive and talent.
Used to see him around a lot in Scottsdale Arizona. His former band Flotsam and Jetsam used to practice a few blocks down from my parents house. He used to walk by with bass in hand.

He can’t okay metal anymore
Cliff : Anestasia
Jason : My friend of misery
Trujillo : krab walk

@@bobbysherman5838 Rob is better than Cliff
@@hombrerusode40anos72 in playing? maybe? but in songwriting i guess no
James and Lars have been fortunate enough to work with some pretty good Bassists
My god I wish they would have let Jason write this as the Black Albums instrumental
4.37..like a simulation of the voice coming from somewhere in the universe..The bass is realy a special instrument..
Man, I miss Newsted. Trujillo is a good bass player, but I've never felt like he fit in Metallica.
Kevin Burgess Same man he just doesn’t have the same onstage presence
Nick Bussard I was only watching Seattle 89' Lastnight, thinking the same thing about Lat night as I'm going to see them for the First time in June
And, I do have to agree there Jason is Excellent
But regardless,..I Can't wait!!!..🙌😆
They were still fuckin and getting getting fucked up. When Jason was in the band. When robert joined they were getting sober and becoming/already were fathers.
@@nickbroussard3784 why not? Robert plays Cliff's parts way better than Jason did, thanks to him they could play Orion on live
Trujillo is too funky... Jason was the best bassist 'tallica ever had
Jason is highly underrated. He might not be as good as Cliff, but no one can match Cliff. Jason just did his own thing and it was awesome. Jason, I'm sure you made Cliff very proud.
Jason is a fucking bad ass bassist. He really puts his heart and soul into it. Pure energy
Jason: *smashes bass into forehead in anger
Me: yeah same here bro
My favourite bass player ever
Nothing but respect for Jason, dude is an absolute beast and a great bass player
3:27 Jason is playing the national anthem
I’m a bit of an insider. I remember him from Scottsdale AZ when he was with Flotsam, used to see him, Eric AK and the other guys around constantly. Fun times
No. No you are not
Bet you know the release date of the next faith no more album aswell don't you
Jason fust finishing beating the crap out of his bass and then Orion casually playing in the back gets me every time.
I'm a relatively new Metallica fan. And have now watched a lot of videos. His backing vocals and guitar playing are fantastic
Sharon Shreeves he's a bass player...

@@austinmarcott3405
Dumb comment from someone that no doubt spends his time at work asking people of they want fries with that.
Jason’s dedication, professionalism, commitment, ferocity are unmatched. Mad love and respect for him as a musician and person!
Can’t believe his hands don’t bleed.
@4:04 you can see all the scratches on the bass from shredding the instrument to beyond most of tried!
He’s often overlooked, but to be honest (and I know these albums are not fan favourites): His work on Load and Reload is phenomenal! Tone, feel, composition... top notch!
The reason I played bass .!:(
Jason is the best
i dont know who to choose, i think cliff and jason were some of my favorite bassist. just cant seem to place them above on another
Why choose, why this constant ranking
thank you jason, for that beautiful sound !!!!
Del 0:51 al 1:18 es jodidamente bestial, la expresión facial te hace dar cuenta que realmente "siente" lo que está haciendo y por la puta madre, que bien suena!

Seen them 5 times on the Black Tour Great Great shows!!!!
Cliff puso el Virtuosismo en Metallica , Pero Jason Puso el Alma y el verdadero Metal de la Banda .... Awante Jason
Love the passion this man has for metal!!!
That bass didn't have a cigarette after that bliss, it just really wanted to go again.
It’s amazing really,if u Watch his face u can tell he puts all of his emotions into the base.
Cliff amazing bass player awesome composer. Jason great stage presence and performer. Rob amazing bass player
i get chills every time i listen to this
So beautiful.
Jason is the definition on the word METALlica
Watched this on his birthday what an amazing bassist.
Thank you for this!!!!!
One of my all time favorite
HONEST AND HARDCORE! LOVE THIS DUDE!

Jason is a phenomenal bassist in his own right! (from a loyal Cliff fan)
fantastic bass solo.
This is on the Live Shit VHS. Jasons epic bass solo is one of the best moments on it. The 18 minute Seek and Destroy is pretty awesome too!

He was very good! He's a great musician!
My favorite Metallica song. Would love to see this supreme bass playing in person.
i wonder what thoughts he had during that.
4:50 i think he said "what for?!" here
He definitely says "MOTHERFUCKERRRR!!!" xD

Damn, I miss the 90’s
Jason Puts so much soul into his music, Cliff Put soul into music, Robert just walks round like a crab, no soul.

"Robert just walks round like a crab", LMAAAAOOOO =DDDD
His bass solo on "Metalshock" by Flotsam and Jetsam is worth checking out. He wrote a majority of their "Doomsday for the Deceiver" album.
Jason’s Footprint in Metallica will forever be remembered. No matter what anybody says; fans or the band, he was a bad*** m**********. And so much energy on stage
sounds like me in high school with my bass...with the exception of the crowd...and the pedals
Jason is so good😁😁

where do u get these videos?
