[@gurnblanston5000]

That because his bass attacked 1st...:))

[@chrischeetham1652]

​@@DaEpicTable I was thinking the same thing. I hate to see when people compare the 2 for a couple reasons. One being they're both extremely talented bass players. 2, they have their own respective playing styles and sound that they adhere to because for each it works well for them. 3, it was never a competition, or shouldnt have been, and for that reason I have a lot of respect for Jason sticking it out and proving himself worthy even though he shouldn't have had to. I also have a lot of respect for what Cliff brought to the table and how his vast knowledge of music theory helped tremendously in making Metallica more of a cohesive unit in general. I only speak from my perspective through the first 5 albums, the progress is undeniable and I think a lot of that started with Cliff passing on some of what he knew of music theory, making a really good band an absolutely iconic one that not only knew what they were doing, but knew exactly how to do it as well. It's unfortunate really, the loss of Cliff, the circumstances in which Jason became the bass player for Metallica, and the animosity directed at him by the fans and his bandmates. I don't think it was always intentional, but I don't think it always wasn't either. He did fucking awesome for someone who must have struggled with the realization that no matter how good he was, even if he was 10 fold better than Cliff ever could have been, it wouldn't matter because he wasn't and never would be him. Over time he proved himself, the fans and his bandmates started to see him as a member of the band and a talented musician. I feel like Rob had it pretty easy in that respect. He would never have to go above and beyond to prove himself or feel awkward about his place in the band. Obviously he's a great bass player as well, but was lucky to have come in behind all of the hard feelings and such and only had to be what they needed in a bass player rather than measure up to someone held in high regard and still being freshly grieved. It seems to me it would be hard to be in that situation because on the one hand, naturally you want to give it 110% and show them what you're capable of, but on the other you don't want to appear disrespectful like you're trying to outdo or discredit the previous guys contributions up to that point. Cliff was fuckin awesome, no doubt, but I'm kind of a Newstead era fan to be honest. A lot of it just comes down to respect for how he handled himself and the progress he made in his own musical journey.

It was about a month prior to my 16th b-day, and it was probably the best day of my life so far at the time! great time & great, unforgettable memories!
