"Never Look Down On People That Look Up To You" ...........Best Advice Ever .!.!.!.!.!

He just called Axl Rose "homeboy" xdxdxd Jason is the man

I love Jason. He's very talented and seems like a nice guy.

I love this dude. He is so on point, and was perfect for Metallica.

Bass players always seem like the most normal dudes in bands. So down to earth, love it!

Coincidentally, I listened to the "Jason reflects on ...AJFA Album" video last night and I ended up listening to the majority of AJFA bass boosted. I have so much respect for this guy.

I love Metallica, but I will ALWAYS respect the hell out of Jason Newsted. Honestly, the guy is a hero to many.

I love how in 20 years since he was in the band, Jason has never once publicly shit on Metallica and vice versa. Respect to all those dudes.

"They were really powerful for about three and a half years, then it fell apart. But good bless 'em, 30 years, good for them!" - Burn of the year

I am sure James and Lars taught Jason how not to treat bandmates like shit for over a decade.

I miss Jason. He was a metallica fan that got to be in metallica. He always was and still is super down to earth and just cool.

According to Slash's autobiography, he wasn't any happier about GN'R's, or more specifically Axl's antics either.

Love this guy. He always cared about the fans and tells it like it is. He's absolutely right. GnR fell off and Metallica never stopped making platinum records.

My favorite Metallica and Metal bass player forever.

Looking down on people who look up to you is the worst thing you can do. AND HE IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!! Well said sir Newsted!

jason is the man tellin it how it is!

Dude Jason just burned GNR so hard and it was so accurate oh my God that was great

I was at the infamous Montreal show on that tour. That afternoon and evening showed pretty much everything Jason is referring to here...... Metallica: Hit the stage on time...put on a solid first half of their show. James gets burned by the pyrotechnic. Even though inside, the other 3 band members must have been freaking out, they came out and addressed the crowd, promising to come back to town to finish their show (they did, BTW, return to play a show at the Forum a few months later, with tickets being ridiculously cheap) GnR: They could have saved the day....but that was not in their DNA. Took FOREVER to start their set, as the crowd sweltered in the heat, and got more and more agitated. Then, like 5 songs into their lacklustre set, Axl has a hissy fit and tells people to "get their f'n money back", then storms off the stage. Metallica = professional.....GnR = clowns

Every time i see this guy, whether is live or in interviews, my respect for him increases. Just a fucking genuine guy!

That fucking ending... Jason, you are a legend. What did we do to deserve you?

what a sensible guy

That's why I am a huge fan of Jason. He is not afraid of truth.

I love GnR but he's right.

slowly​ becoming Lou Reed

Wow! Who wants to hang out with Jason...he has the mind of a normal person in the midst biggest bands at the biggest time in rock history. This guy has some GREAT stories!

Love both bands. Still do. Always will. Rock on GNFNR! Rock on Metallica & Jason!

Such an awesome dude.

He nails it. I've seen Metallica several times and was lucky enough to see them with Jason one time (should have been more! But I digress). I was supposed see GNR once, and they were a no show. It wasn't surprising but still such a dick move. So many people show up for you and you can't even bother to show up... Luckily it was at festival so not all was lost. But I will never try and go see them again. Fool me once and all that stuff ;-). I'll always miss Jason in Metallica. Nothing but the best to him! ❤️

JASON NEWSTED WIKIPEDIA FACT OR FICTION????

This man is a shinning example of humble, hardwork and respect. 🤘❤ Love u bro.

He seems more confident when he talks these days.

jason is real as fuck nobody likes the truth never did thats one reason he left metallica

What a down-to-earth, humble man. Much respect to this guy. When on stage with Metallica, he was(is) on beast mode, and when off the stage, damn he sure as hell is a decent humble guy that can keep his cool all the time. (I'm looking at you Chester)

need another Newsted ALBUM!!!! :(

So much respect for this man.

Always seems like such a chill guy :)

i love guns n roses but i agree with jason here on the use your illision tour was where it started to go wrong for gnr i still love the classic lineup and i do hope they do some shows in the future becourse to me thats where the magic was....and jason you are missed in metallica im still hoping i can afford one of those black with mable neck light weight 5 string sadowskys you play...:D

They hit on a lot of this in the binge and purge documentary. One of the funniest scenes is James making fun of Axel backstage, getting his voice ready. I don’t think Metallica liked Guns N’ Roses at all to say the least. They came from two completely different perspectives on music and fame. And I think I speak for all Metallica fans by saying we all love Jason. He quite literally represented the Fanbase inside the band and that’s something special.

He’s right. Very humbling interview. I like how he says looking down on people that look up to you is the worst thing you can do.

I LOVE this man. He's so chill and is very honest with his responses. Hope to meet Jason one day. Because he seems like a swell guy.

Aaahh that happened a long time ago and it was crazy times with a crazy band. Off subject, look up metallica on 'rage' australian tv. He is absolutely speeding off his head. He's a nice guy and i think thats why people still have a soft spot for him. Awsome bass player too. God bless Jason 👍

I didn't think i could respect him more than i already did. Great and honest words Jason! Makes it even sadder that Metallica couldn't accept you long term.

Nothing but respect for Jason. Class act !🤘

I wish his current music project would go on tour. That would be kickass.

He has a big heart man and people like him usually get treated poorly by thier peers

I still have mad respect for Jason. He is a fan who made it, and still respects us.

Newsted just rules, always has, always will. Uttermost respect. Hail Jason!

well Jason is a class act, not many rock stars compare to him in that regard! will always be my favorite bass player for Metallica.

Preach on.

He's really a humble guy

jason is a great person and an a very awesome bassit

Jason is really one of the coolest people. I truly like him! Alongside Steve Harris he is the reason why I picked up bass and why I love this sound so much!

Absolute legend. Jason shows what it's like when someone comes from a strong, loving home - you can tell Ulrich and Hetfield never had that...

Jason is such a great guy.

Jason is the man...this guy no joke...

Real man right here. He tells it like it is

I saw that Monsters of Rock in 88. Every band was on the spot. Just enough time to get the equipment changed and everything plugged in. Then go. Metallica did hurt my ears though and it was in an outdoor stadium.

What a legend. Thanx man.

Jason drops truth bombs left and right, gotta love him

Such a cool man

Jason is the man! He said a bunch of truths right there

All Hail Jason. So much love and respect for this man. No disrespect for Rob nor of course Cliff but Jason is the bass of Metallica. I miss him every day.

That's pretty much accurate

They may have been powerful for 3,5 years, but in the right time to be powerful. Nowadays when this type of music is absolutely depleted, when the old bands are lying on old glory and the new bands are following old schemes and discover nothing new, when they applaud you if you are good imitator, when the music business is dead and one can not make money by selling records and can not even play live since 2020, who cares if you are powerful or not?

Jason just calls it how it is, no lies, no bullshit.

I know Jason isn’t in the band anymore but after listening to other interviews with James and Lars I don’t think we will ever see the two bands to work together again.

Newsted always loyal. Doesn’t need to be but he is. Says a lot about the man. Ultimate metal head…

Awesome interview, fucking Jason dropping some truth and some sage advice. Love it!

Jason is the man🤘

Love this dude

"I've always been very frugal." "I have plans for those millions, and it's not for f___ing sandwiches!" 😝

Hell yeah Jason !

Never look down on people that look up to you is a practice to be successful in any business, not just music.

Good job dude... You play good bass... Keep the faith...

30 years, 5 albums. He's being real kind here

this is why I love this man. Tells it like it is, is honest about himself, and if you don't like it ....tough shit. "but god bless em...thirty years" ahahaha soooo true 2 records and 3-4 years where they were in the zone.....the rest is nonsense.

Lol this was great!!! He’s a good guy👍👍👍👍👍

Always a class act.

Well said

I had such a crush on him, once he even was in one of my dreams 😊

Yeh I was there , Monsters of Rock 88 Metallica Owned that show. Out of 5 bands & Metallica being sandwhiched between Kingdome Come(haha) Dokken,Scorpions & Van Halen At the end of it all, there was no question at all who made that arena go Insane! It was almost scary how crazy people got when they were on.

Miss this Guy back in Metallica, all due respect to Trujillo. Newsted is so damn right, even thou Metallica are well known for they´re bad behavior, they always where able to play in time and put on a 2-3 hours show. The´re where two "bigger" bands at the early 90´s, one of them proof to be the best one over the past of time.

Resentment is strong in this one ☝️

Brief and to the point !!!

Jason looking cool,wonder what he plans next in music

Newsted dropping knowledge!

I slowly becoming Jason Newsted I wear glasses and I'm starting to play bass with a pick to get more attack in my playing changing into playing more metal bass always was an salsa bassist with my finger playing style but pick is also fun

Awesome commentary on how to treat fans

Jason of late is,as far as the camera and statements are concerned the gift that keeps on giving 😂

Ending is so true

🤘Great Jason🤘

Jason is the most humble fucking metal you will ever see Metallica shoud bring him back

Jason is the man

True words. This guy had it going on. They had I all over Metallica at the time and would have finished them off if Axl didn't implode. Don't get me wrong, different music but shared similar crowds and fans. Loved them both but it was an evolution .

Fucking love this man.

Jason is so right

don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Trujillo's fan since Infectious Grooves times, but Jason, we miss you in Metallica.

He said the exact same thing when VH1 did Metallica, behind the music

I met Jason at meet-n-greet back in 1998 and he was exactly what he described about GnR, he was cold, distant, and looking down, though he was much shorter than me :) Unlike him, James who showed up shortly after, was soulful, thoughtful, warm and cool and the same time. For instance, my comment that James' previously burnt arm had almost no scars, he replied: 'No, the scar is right here', pointing on his wedding ring on that arm :) I wonder why Jason who came from such a big, close (seems to be), full family has such a neurotic, unstable, basically not cool character. So much presumed shortsighted opinions. It is in a water, I guess :)

I agree with him
