I’m sorry, but the mental image of someone headbanging in their sleep reminds me of the guy in the One video trying to use Morse code to get someone to kill him, and that’s simultaneously one of the most hilarious and most depressing thoughts I’ve had in a while.

I used to take a 👕 and pull the sleeve part over my fat head and act like I had long hair. And then I would take my Walkman, my 🎾 and use it as an air 🎸, and play like I'm in concert as MetallicA! I was "James Kirk Hetfield Hammett " that was until my mom took a picture of me with a Polaroid and laughed at me. I had to start doing it at night. But Blackened was one of my favorites lol. How I wish I was a kid again.

The bass riff in Devil's Dance is the best thing ever! Especially how it works with rhythm and lead guitars over it. No wonder James didn't allow Jason to change it

I rearranged Devil's Dance as an instrumental directly from the album. It was mixed which made it a tough cut. I had the riffs and solos cycling around that fat bass and had it end with how the bass began. The song makes a brilliant instrumental.

I strongly encourage all Metallica fans to give a listen to the Overload Mucho-demos for Load and Reload. James shown true passion for his music in these demos, even with the yeah-yeah mumbling. Load and Reload really are great albums, they deserve more recognition.

Note: Where the wild things are was the last song composed by Jason, the Lyrics and vocals are just beautiful, and the way it glued the whole band was awesome, in there you see some good druming by Lars, he even plays the ride for a difference and has some cool fills in it and all backed by the bass, a nice solo on the guitar by Kirk, and the back and forth vocals on the bridge by James and Jason are just amazing... the composing skills of Jason were great, it is sad that at times they sticked to the James/Lars composing combo, to me it seems like they wasted an incredible talent and asset. The Load/Reload Albums were great Rock albums, but I just imagine if they wanted to explore new territories with Jason, Prog, Speed Metal, Groove metal, and topped with Harsh Vocals... yes Jaymz can play bass but that will never replace Jason.

That’s the thing. The reason you see few writing credits from Jason is because as far as contribution’s goes, Jason brought very little that Lars and James would’ve used at that time. Jason’s stuff was apparently mostly like thrash and such because he wanted to kinda go back to that sound with Metallica, but they were in a different head space musically at that time; but then you’ll have the odd ones like My Friend of Misery and Where the Wild Things Are, which are far more musical and out of left field that Metallica picked them Out from Jason’s stuff.

I love Rob Trujillo, and even though he wasn't one that everyone accepted at first. He's molded quite nicely with the band. But Jason was such a ball of energy with his stage presence back during the 90's, I mean, really miss that about the band. And yeah they're in their 60's and age takes it's toll. But I believe every MetallicA fan misses Jason even though they accept and appreciate Rob. I'm soo ready to hear the rest of this new album. Have you read the reviews by Rolling Stone and Revolver magazines yet?

Rob is a great musician, but Jason is the one who fits like a glove for Metallica. I'd love to see him as part of Metallica again before they retire.

@@Diegodesarmaysangra I too have that want before they retire. I love this band with all of my love for music. I defend everything they do, and only because they've earned that right. Reason I love these guys so much is because I've been listening to them since I was 8 years old. I'm 4......nevermind, let's just say I'm old enough lol. But I used to tell people when I was in 5th grade and beyond. "These guys will be around when we are 40 and 50 yrs old. And they will be one of the greatest bands of all-time. " and I know that other MetallicA fans used to feel the same way. But to be told that we're full of shit and that they would never last. Maybe it's the fact I'm from Alabama and rednecks rather hear country lol. Though I've turned alot of people onto MetallicA here in good old Bammer. Rob has earned my respect as a member of the band I love. But you're right. Jason fit just perfect.

@JustAreru 9 ай бұрын

I mean the thing is that Jason actually had an agressive stage presence that was very akin to what Metallica was at the time, add to that an amazing singing voice and screaming voice and he made Metallica more thrash than before. Rob is an amazing bassist but he's way too chill for that style

0:56 You're misunderstanding how songwriting credits work by claiming Jason did not come up with these bass lines. Jason may have said that the King Nothing bassline was written by James. But it does not mean that all the other bass lines you list were written by James. James may have written the songs. But the bassist can still write a unique bassline based on the chords and not get a writing credit - in which case it's definitely the bassist's bassline, even if he was not a credited songwriter.

Your analysis of Jason and James' bass playing is very accurate. Speaking as someone who was originally a guitarist. Yet now I have been exclusively a bassist the last 3 years. It took a ton work getting my playing ultra clean. Getting rid of that scratchy sound most former guitarist add to the bass. The bass is by far my favorite instrument and I'm still learning to this day how to better play the same songs I learned in the beginning and going forward constantly learning new covers. Between Jason, Cliff, Robert and Ron Mcgovney (Metallica's original bassist) they all brought their own unique sound to the band. Side note: it goes without saying James is by far the best all around musician in METALLICA. Great guitarist and vocalist. Also his drumming is very good and as a bassist he is very creative with his bass lines.

What I don’t understand is why James and Lars never let anyone contribute. They stole from Dave, Cliff was muted in all their albums and they even stop using all of what cliff shown them since the black, they abused Jason who’s capable of writing riffs as good as James old riffs, and then Rob who legit is their best bass player (because Cliff unfortunately left the band during MOP to play with all the other legends who left us too soon) and all he ever does is play 0000000000000 on the E or A string because why James doesn’t know any other scale. I understand why he doesn’t let Kirk since he has the solos but the bassist don’t really got much say.

@midnight347 Жыл бұрын

They didn't "steal" from Dave. He co wrote 6 tracks on the first 2 records and he was credited as such. They made Mechanix better and gave it way cooler lyrics. I love both bands but the Dave fanboys who claim Metallica "stole" Dave's music are just beyond ridiculous.
