[@colbygentry9210]

For the love of god. Please bring back Jason

[@namikstudios]

Move on. Jason left and is happy with his decision. Rob is in the band and has now become their longest serving bassist by many years. In fact, he's now been in the band for longer than Cliff and Jason were combined. The ship has well and truly sailed and at this point pining for Jason's return which will never happen is just being really disrespectful to Rob.

[@Deadpool_64]

Kirk was impressed by Lloyd Grant, he was checking out his guitar work and smiling while he doing that first mini solo for Hit the Lights.

[@eventideelysium]

If you've ever watched the interview uploaded in 2006 between Lars and Mustaine, you'd learn that Mustaine loved the rest of the group. He saw them as an extended family, but without a second chance he was removed from the band. He only ever had his mom and them. They got rid of him because he was an aggressive raging drunk, but instead of helping him they just got rid of him like a pest instead of a friend/brother. They had great chemistry, especially with the writing and shows during the early 80's. I don't like to compare the two because they're both equally as great. Before anyone makes the argument: "Well Mustaine broke dreams and kicked band members out also"... Remember, he gave them not only second chances, but MULTIPLE chances. He didn't want them to experience what he had experienced, but it got to a point where no matter the amount of chances they wouldn't change. To this day Mustaine has incredible skills while playing live. Not to discredit Lars' or Kirk's skills, over the years their skills have depreciated and created some infamous failures. Even as a band they experienced failures/quality drops later on due to this lack of practice and chemistry. (Good examples would be their albums St. Anger and Lulu). In most recent live shows (like this) where Metallica had invited people from Kill Em All such as Dave Mustaine, they had clicked with increased speed and excitement. The chemistry hadn't been better in years. At most the reason why Mustaine looks bored or annoyed is because he's still hurt by James (and the music is easy to him). So before anyone makes a "Metallica vs Megadeth" or "James vs Mustaine" or any comment that revolves around a half-assed opinion or comment around WHY things happened in the band and how people's personalities are, do your research you dumb fucks. Thank you.

[@cool3929]

[@KenVH5150]

I love Jason's aggressiveness to his singing. I really believe that they should have let him sing lead on a few songs. James and Lars' egos definitely wouldn't have let that happen. Hell, they cut out his bass on Justice

[@zyriuz2]

he would have been perfect to bring back in a sort of duet, a song where james sings as a person in a battle with his demons and jasons singing beeing the demon (mabye its like "one"), as they sort of go back and fourth between sainity and insainity.

Seriously, check out that show on KZbin if you haven't seen it, because they fucking bring all the old power and rawness to that performance, ALL of them. And i don't care if Kirk is "not as good" as Mustaine etc. .... he's great in THE BAND .... that's all that matters. They are great together, and it's not a competition.
