Newsted To Perform With Metallica

2009-03-28 by jingledeath | 20 Comments
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has confirmed that former bassist Jason Newsted will play some part in the group's performances when they are inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio next month.

Hammett said: “Jason Newsted will be there, and he will be playing with us at one point. We went as a band when Black Sabbath was being inducted, and at that time Blondie was also being inducted that night. And there was so many politics and so much drama that, you know, we collectively said to each other, ‘We don’t want any of that,’ because it kind of, it puts a really bad, sour note on the whole celebration itself.”

This will be the first time Newsted has performed with the band since leaving in 2001 to pursue other projects, such as catching amplifiers.

Well deserved, Newsted should be included in this just as much as the rest, despite his bass sinking into the background and living in Cliff Burton's emmence shadow.

I don't care about him playing bass, but if he'd do vocal duties like on the Seattle 1989 show, that'd be pure awesome.

i didnt know he bitched about them firing a therapist, thats hilarious

but i hate newsted and trujilo, burton was awesome but no one can replace him

metallica playing shitty new songs with their two shittiest un-hearable members will definitely be something i'll ignore entirely

and lol @ "MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

How can you say you hate either of them. They both play bass and aren't douche bags. Seems like your just biased towards anyone but Cliff. Would you prefer they said..."Lets just not have a bassist, we dont want to stir up hatred with allthesametakemeaway"!

Were you even listening to them when Burton was in the band? More to the point were you even listening to them when Newsted was in the band? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess not for both of them.This Message Edited On 04.07.09
