jason newsted just trying his best for 4 minutes and 30 seconds

[@MiriMatAp]

Fifteen years of putting up with this shit? He’s my hero. He endured just to make his dream come true. They hated him just because they saw that people loved him. They thought fans would hate him for having to replace Cliff and they didn't. He was the most loved and the one who had the most connection with the fans. They hated that. Jason Newsted is a good person . He’s a nice guy. And he’s an awesome bass player.

[@mikehunt8247]

Better than cliff in my opinion. Sorry. Not sorry

[@easternag16]

Not really at all why they hated him. They never really HATED him in general. They just took all their grief and frustration of losing Cliff out on Jason because they didn't know how to handle it properly. Jason was the target for the sadness and anger bullets the rest of the band shot

[@elviradistress]

@@easternag16that sounds like a bit of hatred if you were to ask me

[@swedishwiking2955]

@@easternag16 how the f-ck would the world look like if everyone who lost someone (all of us have ffs!) took out their grief on an innocent person?? What they did was bullying! Had nothing to do with grief. Lars and James are a-holes. It´s as simple as that. Even some of the "roadies" admitted to treat Jason bad, just because everyone else did...The only member who speak good about Jason is Kirk, and he seems like a good guy too, I bet he was not part of the bullying..

[@cholkymilkmirage4984]

It's very, and i mean very rare to find a humble heavy metal musician. Most of them have egoes that supersede their own reality. Jason is so gracious and humble, never disrespected anyone. Throughout all his interviews and fan meetings he was a class act.

Yes. And he still is a class act. I miss him very much. Rob is a great musician, but he's not a great fit for Metallica. Thankfully we have 15 years of material to look at anytime we want.
