MyName__ Kosmo Well this may surprise but in a grand conspiracy Alembic made multiple basses that many people other then Jason Newsted play. Crazy right? Almost like they had a business or something? A quick google confirms that Cliff Burton played a alembic Spoiler bass. “CLIFF: The Ricky needs some work. I had an Alembic for a while, which I was very happy with until it was STOLEN!! If anyone out there comes across a black spoiler bass with a fair-sized chip in the back finish, up around the side of the peg head, it very well might be mine, so... just send it to me.”

Hmmm, they never did call me back, lol. Well, their loss as I've always been one of the hardest working most reliable employees at any job I've ever worked. But, my gain as fortunately can say now that I've never worked at Taco Bell! Ha... Or any fast food chain for that matter. Phew, that was a close one, almost did.

Good lesson here for young bands. No matter what the style of music, how tight you are, or how talented the players are, this sounds obvious but you gotta have the songs. Countless similar bands faded away but Metallica became one of the biggest bands in the world because they had the songs. I've seen so many bands in clubs who were great except for that one very vital ingredient, and after the show I couldn't remember a single chorus.

[@Mr1Tanker]

That plus they had a creed basically. Don't sell out, hate the man, and death to false metal. Us young guys were vulnerable to those messages, and they played us well. At 57 now, i still never forgive them (although i understand why..i'm not naive) for selling out.. putting out a music video from "And Justice".
