It's heartbroken to see them laughs together... Jason was my favorite guy in the band.

Jason's energy, charisma, intensity, talent, and monster vocals cannot be replaced. He was a beast and I miss him in Metallica. Rob is also talented, but Jason's demonic vocals are unrivaled.

Jason was in the band to help Metallica and when he wanted to be taken more seriously. Its almost like they still expected him to just stay as the guy who would only do what he was told and help out when needed. But Jason was way more than that. He was a song writter and even a lyricist. He wrote songs before in his previous band. It would have been cool to see more of Jasons ideas in Metallica songs

It's really a shame that they treated him that way. I am a lifelong fan of the band and IMHO if he hadn't been there with that energy they may have not turned out to be the mega band that they are today because the grief would have consumed them. At least Lars, James, and Kirk have seen the error in their ways and have reached out to Jason to try and make things right. As always Jason being who he is has been a really good example as to why it's good to forgive and forget.

every time super young jason naively and possibly a little insensitively said "it's like a dream come true" you can hear the other 3 thinking "fuck you, who are you, why aren't you Cliff"

"and justice for all" is the best metal album ever made!!

Jason newsted completed that band again. They were so lucky to have found a guy like him after the tragedy they had with cliff. They totally took it for granted and it killed off the bands spirit

Jason is a legend , gave it all for the band ,and got betrayed..........................

I truly miss JN. He was one stoic, tough bastard 😅 and what talent. I just wish he has no regrets because honestly soeaking his time with tallika aka MACH 2 will live on forever long after we all shadows and dust. Future generations 2040 AD onwards will always look at Metallica as a whole AFTER they have retired. Just mark my words. JN should know his time in the band is and was forever immortal ❤😂😅

We all want Jason back.

Cliff’s death was an accident. But all the BS they put Jason through was uncalled for. Jason was so perfect for Metallica. Trullio just doesn’t fit. I don’t care how long he’s been with the band

I've admired Rob since his Suicidal Tendencies days starting in 1991, so I mean absolutely no disrespect to him, but I cannot look at him as _Metallica's_ bassist. He is a hired hand. I feel bad for saying that, but it's the sad truth. He joined _long_ after they became legends, so it's unfair to Rob in that way to ever criticize him without showing him the proper respect he deserves. It's just that I've been a fan of the band since early 1987. Both Cliff and Jason are who inspired me to pick up the bass. Metallica with Jason is all I knew. I still feel that way. Anyone who wasn't listening to them when Jason was there or came along later after the turn of the century would probably have a harder time understanding how important Jason was to us older fans of the band. His stage presence, energy, just an electrifying ball of energy helped give Metallica their reputation as a live band you _have_ to see. Also, wow are Jason's backing vocals so missed by myself and so many others. Certain songs just sound empty where Jason once filled in the vocal parts. Maybe one day as the band, especially James being the vocalist, get closer to their 70s they''ll realize how much better and stronger they would be in concert by bringing Jason back. They already knew something wasn't quite right with Rob's backing vocals - they made him take vocal lessons and it still didn't help. Jason just does it naturally. He has that ability in spades. As for Rob, here is my show of respect for him: I've felt like his talent has been wasted his entire last 20 years in Metallica. His true style (funk) and his amazing chops on bass don't even come close to shining through on a Metallica album. That is a compliment and a testament to Rob's legendary status as one of the finest hard rock, heavy metal, _funk_ bass players of all time. They just really need Jason back. That's all.

Wish he never left

Jason and James did Creeping Death better than any !!!!!!! Their vocals complimented each other perfectly !!

I always related to Metallica, because of my own shit. It is my opinion no disrespect towards Robert , but they should have tried getting Jason back. Period. That’s Metallica to me. Stay kool Jason luv ya brother

Very well done!!! Thx for making this.

It must have been such a crazy trip for Jason to go from fan to member of the band.

Metallica basically took Cliffs death out on Jason. He never had a chance and his best course of actjon would have been to tell the band to fuck of

When I Got Into The Band After I Saw Their Original Episode Of Behind The Music While I Was On Vacation In Maui Hawaii, I Instantly Became A Fan & Then When 2001 Rolled Around & I Heard Jason Left The Band, I Felt Worried That The Band Would Be Over But, They Continued On. Having Said That, The Lineup of Newsted, Hetfield, Ulrich & Hammett Will Always Be Special To Me

Like Rob but I want Jason back

Creeping death should never be played live without jason. He just was the song

i like it. great job!

🤠 Just listened to his audition tape for the first time yesterday. Holy smokes. Go, man, go!!!

Damn, i missed the old tallica.. 80s 90s era were the best

To this day Jason is still “the” bass player of Metallica

23:06 I got BETTA 🤣😭

*Great Rockumentary!!! Like, Shared , Subscribed!!!*. 🤘😎👍

Metallica had a huge stream of good luck with one big rainstorm. They were so lucky to get JASON NEWSTEAD when they got him. I saw them 3 times w/Jason. That fucker MADE the show. He signed shit for hours. I loved their music before him, but I only loved the heart of Metallica because of Jason.

I've noticed that in reference to the bus incident the band never mentions the crane portion of the story... it's always a non band member that talks about the crane picking up the bus and dropping it back on Clif. Perhaps it's because it's too gruesome or I don't know. The band typicallys says that Cliff died instantly, but maybe that's the conforting story they want to believe? I don't know?

I don't remember seeing that clip with cliff talking about his parents, that was cool.

God I miss him 😢

Newsteads voice works better for the Kill Em All music... I like it

...Un-fanning Jason was really one of the best things the band did. It relaxed & set him more to focus on his/band music as a whole. 🤘👍...

In heart of James still connect to cliff (rip) and Jason wanted fill it up but James don't want to accept him and haze him up...not for hate but for love on Jason...still love old Metallica

If Cliff was alive today he would be the best alive and dead he is a legend!! Jason Newstead had tough shoes to fill and he did a excellent job.He is also missed and Metallica has kept their strength,which I think is amazing..Rock on Metallica!!

something about jason's face it just makes me think of metallica like it fits the theme. I think when I was a kid and didn't know anything about the band members and all that (internet was still sort of up and coming) when I heard metallica, and then I saw a certain pic of the band, I thought he was the lead singer lol...he just had this look to him that matched the sound of james' voice. Idk how to explain it, dude just really looked like he belonged in that band.

Jason is Metallica

...Initially, ofc it was a big big challenge for Jason to fill in the void left by Cliff but he carried & shouldered it thru. Let's not forget that Cliff is not only a basist but THE BAND itself/himself that we know as Metallica and Jason, he gave his all & it was phenomenal. Nobody could've replaced Cliff better than Jason. Respect man 😍🤘👍...

Jason's era = best era. Enough said.❤

Gull Lake Michigan

Metallica lost its heart and soul when Jason left.

Is that kirk hamet or doug henning

I miss Jason's love and enthusiasm for the metal.

Crazy to think they are old enough to be great grandparents now

I just don't know about METLICKA anymore Kirk is like the only one besides Dave Mustaine that really made Metallica 🤘METALLICA🤘 But Jason Newstead was an inspiration for me and yeah Cliff Burton was truly the backbone of them all. He died a day after my birthday.

Like how is there a fued there still brothers no matter if theres arguments they still care about each other I bet if you asked either of them you would get the same answer

This guys voice is a dead ringer for Steve-O!

... Sometimes, i wonder if James and Lars quarreling was for real or just for the cameras. But in either case it was Kirk who always ended up in the middle....totally confused and unable to take sides (I'm sure he never wanted or would take sides) 😅😂...

They did him dirty. Seriously.

I was Metallica fun only becasue of Jason.

A lot of those older clips with James..... back before he tried to be wize and zen with every interview. He used to be more relaxed. Maybe it was the booze, but he just seems so rigid now.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 kirk's smooch 😂😂😂😂

Jason Newsted no necesita a Metallica. Metallica necesita a Jason Newsted

I can’t see Kirk trying to haze anybody. 😂

You can tell he puts a lot of effort into fitting in and getting those guys to like him. If I was him I probably would have left much sooner. James and lars seemed like complete douchebags back in the day.

I like Jason Newstead

Sure theyve aged. Sure theyve grown etc etc etc ... But they were SO much better band up until the early 90s imo

Jason mistook the length of time and the energy he put into the band as a reason to feel equal. He was never equal. His renumeration for his efforts was wealth and the great life. Nothing more. As soon as he thought he was a songwriter to be respected, he was out. He pushed it too far.

Band is awesome. No matter what. Got tons of Metallica shows here on my page enjoy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

”METALLICA VS. DAVE MUSTAINE”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJuBipN5ktaxc3k.html

He should have never joined that band of suckers. they betrayed their pre 1990 fans, that says everything. He would have been better in bands like testament, pantera, etc

You don’t have the answers Sway

Meh, they're just shitty people. AC/DC is 5 times the band Metallica is and they never treated Brian Johnson that way after Bon died.

How could they not pick on him? He is such an annoying dork

I am so sick of the " Poor Jason " nonsense from Soft, thin skinned fans. Jason scored the opportunity of a lifetime, so what if James & Lars made it a little rough on him? So what if he got his balls busted? You don't think he gave it back? Jason earned millions of dollars, got to travel the world & play in sold out stadiums & arenas, got the respect of fans & peers alike from his tenure in Metallica, How dare James & Lars!!! . Fans are so soft & act as if he was hog tied in a closet until it was time to play a gig or lay down his bass lines for a track.

35.50 lars said : chose my word to carefully here. 37.45 james walked away & slam the fucking door.

He is my favorite and rob still seems outta place imo. Miss jason
