Unquestionable Presence
Yeah I find that absolutely ridiculous Mud, there is no excuse if you are asking someone to step up and replace Burton then show them some respect...Hetfield and company should feel ashamed for treating Jason that way.
Then you get the Metallica fan boys who say that Newsted was nothing special etc and all that shit.
Personally I find him to be a better bassist then Burton was playing wise. Flotsam and Jetsam Doomsday for The Deciever showed his playing and writing skill.
Just a shame Metallica never gave him a real shot and just looked at him as a replacement and not a true member. All you have to do is watch Some Kind of Monster to see how they truly are.
I lost respect for Metallica after the Napster bs because they just became greedy corporate whores at that point and reading how they were to Jason made me really question how they were with Mustaine because yes he was thrown out for his alcohol, but also it seems like he would not take their shit and was thrown out so they could find a pushover in Kirk Hammett.
4 classic albums (kill em all up to and justice for all), one great album (black album), 1 good album(death magnetic), 2 okay albums (load, reload), one piece of shit (st anger), but still they are assholes in my eyes regardless of the quaility of music they put out.
The way they handled Mustaine and not trying to get him inducted into the band when he had lots to do with their success (writing 4 songs on kill em all and 2 on ride the lightning) and how they handled Newsted was just pathetic. The napster thing made me loose respect for them and hate them as individuals.
