Yes Jason really was. Jason had to go and do something with his life than to have so much restrictions, while part of MetallicA. It was tough.. but he did what he needed to do. I miss him in the band, sometimes. He has however been very active until the last couple of years. I admire him and what his brought into his life journey. His abilities are amazing. All that matters is his happiness and life.

I think the only critique I have for that bassline is its creative in sound but musically its beginning of anesthesia notes slowed and playing octaves....Jason held his own but at the same time played too close to cliffs already written material so he didn't stand out with his own sound until it was too late

[@archangel5627]

What I always really liked about Jason’s bass playing is that he knew where to place his bass lines in a song. His bass lines fit really well with what ever Lars would playing on the drums. Essentially he would punch up the bottom end of a song and make Lars’s drumming sound better. That’s why I like bass players who follow the drums as oppose to the guitars. That’s my one complaint with Rob is that he tends to follow the guitar a bit too much and that compromises the bottom end of the drums in a song. Now with that being said, Rob is still an excellent bass player it’s just that I prefer Jason’s style of playing.

[@FrogBoatFishing]

Damn, someone with a solid take… bravo

[@PaulKretz]

*For anyone wondering what's wrong with the sound:* the mics have "noise gates" on'em, which means they turn off as the sound falls below certain level in dB (e.g. the voice of a singer). You can hear the crowd noise quite well, when they talk and then the volume drops. This is done for cleaner live sound, so that no sound of everything going on getting to the mic gets into PA system (thus loops out to mic and PA back again, creating awful feedback) when there's no vocals. The bass is just a "direct sound", which means it was recorded directly from guitar, passing over the amp. That's why it sounds bad also (no sustain). The signal is split - one way goes to PA with speaker cabinet and mic (probably also having a gate), the other - directly to the mixing desk. In this instance we got the latter. No secret for a sound guy here.

[@pat8437]

Not to sound antagonistic, genuinely curious. Is there a way to run the amp signal into the soundboard for recording purposes?

[@PaulKretz]

@@pat8437 That is exactly what I described above. The splitter device is used to route the sound wherever you want.

[@pat8437]

@@PaulKretz I’m confused admittedly. You mentioned we just got the bass directly, ni amp/speaker cab, just the signal + effects. You mentioned the signal was split to get there, the other half going to the PA from the microphones in front of the cabinets. Am I following correctly?

[@PaulKretz]

@@pat8437 That's right. I mean here, in this video, we only hear the direct part of the "splitted" signal. The other half was most probably routed to the FX-PREAMP-AMP-CAB-MIC-MIX-PA for the audience to get great sounding bass. BUT, that signal from the miked cab can also be routed back to the mixing deck for recording. In metal music direct and amp bass tracks are quite often mixed together in different proportions to get really tight sound (both live and on record). Having two tracks there can also be parallel compression going, distortion over DI track and other effects... Sound engineering and mixing hides a lot of tricks 🤘😎

[@alexbergmann2817]

I dont know man,Im listening through studio headphones and the sound is outstanding. never heard on you tube better bass sound. also you tube compress the sound

[@winterpurple4587]

Cliff was treated by James and Lars as a 'partner.' While Jason and Rob's treated as 'employees.' Jason never felt the respect and I'm sure many of his creative input were dismissed. And Rob's now also just playing the bass as an 'operator' rather than a 'creator.' Just doing what's instructed of him. That's what people have to understand.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

People seem to be oblivious to the fact that Jason had been playing professionally since 78, he was well accomplished with flotsam and Jetsom, writing playing and singing. I understand Cliff was good, but he was a 20 yr old kid, he didn't have 20 or 30 yrs of bass playing under his belt to be given the god status that everyone wants to bestow upon him. Death doesn't make him some kind of deity. What's truly hilarious is that Cliff only played on 8 songs TOTAL between MoP, RTL and Kill em All... 8 songs people!!!!! The producer that worked for Metallica between MoP and AJFA has gone on record in interviews to say that Jason was a phenomenal bassist. Cliff was good, but 8 songs and a horrific death don't grant god mode. I bet most of the people swinging on Cliffs nuts weren't even alive for the albums preceding Jason. They just jump on the Cliff was the greatest bandwagon. Jason was and always will be Metallica.

[@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910]

There is a lot more to it than just technical ability. It’s about who he was, how he impacted the other members as a human being. Bands are about musicians inspiring each other on a common creative vision. Cliff of course was not the greatest bass player, but the rest of Metallica sure as hell looked up to his character. Had that terrible accident not happened, it would of been him pioneering their direction as a band and not Lars. He was a voice of reason, without too much of an inclination towards developing a big ego like the other half of Metallica did.

Well either way the style of Jasons playing in some songs is better than robs. Creeping death, bells, etc, and also vocals. Kick tremendous ass

[@bigtinymanowarrior7330]

American Bassist I love Jasonic. I think his last Newsted CD was amazing. But Robert is also great too. just miss Jason.

[@fucktheeagles4962]

No

[@L1NCHP1N]

I miss Jason’s backing vocals a lot.

[@MusickopatH]

Thanx JN for the blackened main riff, one of best Metallica riffs👌

[@papa_jeans4571]

When did Phil Anselmo play the bass?

[@shawnhuff6024]

Metallica will never be as great again and newsted is the best metal band in the world

[@sebjao830]

james was nothing but bully to Jason.

[@LSweet2007]

They're grown men. Grown men don't get bullied unless they like it for sexual reasons. It's not the same thing like in junior high school.

[@1977moonchild1]

LSweet2007 Hetfield and Hammett bullied Jason Newstead for years.. End of

[@Chris-lv2wq]

quacka 1003 yeah Kirk is such a bully you fuck

[@Sighbot]

LSweet2007 I’m pretty sure he got hazed pretty intensely by James and Lars.

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

Beautiful melody man...that's how you touch a metalhead's heart

[@samuraimalla]

Love the camera work at end. looks awesome.

[@LordYuriX]

*Jason "bass" Newsted* 🤘🤷‍♂️🤘

[@MichaelTowns]

I had no idea that Jason had cut his hair by early 1993. I always thought it was later than that.

[@pkj77]

love this Solo by Jason !!!

[@sinanhalil9965]

I LOVE YOU JASON NEWSTED GROUP TURN BACK

[@terryhennigan3911]

Love Jason, never really thought Rob fitted in

[@Redeemedon090910]

Jason was So underutilized by the rest of Metallica. If they would have released him instead of repressing him, I could only imagine what energy their music would have had. IMO James feared Jason's potential. Miss you Jason Life long Metallica fan \m/ 💀 \m/ BIRTH SCHOOL METALLICA DEATH

[@Rickkelley365]

jeremy miller Jason was very instrumental in Load and Reload. They didn’t only ever haze him ya know. He became a serious creative force in his last two albums with the band. At the request of James and Lars.

[@jeyhunhuseynov3000]

One of the best of Jason’s

[@exoticgirl1]

The bass intro of misery is glorious. I'm happy they let him play that because Jason initiated that as an instrumental.

[@TheLosvid]

Зря они с Ньюстедом покоцались. Он там был на своём месте

[@n1ckpower]

Ему хотелось свой проект, вот и ушел, если бы он хотел дальше играть в Металлике и не отвлекаться на другой проект, он бы думаю это сделал

[@TheLosvid]

@@n1ckpower да х.з., что там случилось. У каждого своя правда.

[@n1ckpower]

@@TheLosvid это по его словам :/

[@yakimets89]

@@n1ckpower наверное, каждый бы хотел свой проект, если бы твои басс партии на мастеринге альбомов выкручивали в ноль, как в And justice for all.

when jason goes up to the mic my heart goes 💕💕💕💕

[@slayermonstrocity]

I think Jason was great in Flotsam and Jetsam. In Metallica, it seems like the other guys just had him play what they wanted and he wasn’t ever really as involved in the creativity part of writing as in Flots. When Jason left Flots, Flots’s sound changed too.

[@danworthen2900]

Kenny Barnett h

[@cheelinville125]

Not really.

[@Unonomouse]

I have a lot of respect for both Cliff and Rob and think they are both great bass players but Metallica were at their peak when Jason was with them. Don't forget it.

[@BlitzkriegGT]

i went in the 99 to the metallica concert with sepultura and was almoust like being there again with that bass sounds i really enjoy it

[@StealthyAlien]

“Wanna hear Jason do some bass here?!” “…”

[@patrickkelley8777]

Jason plays the star spangled banner in Mexico lol

[@rigsofrodsmaster]

Anyone know what shirt he is wearing?

[@macpatten9249]

He played "Born Under a Bad Sign" at a metal concert. God bless you, sir.

[@illuviium]

Ahhhh yes, Jason bass newstead. Wonderful guy

[@masteroftheheadcrabs3123]

Jason's wah sounds like that song that plays while you're fighting Glados in Portal.

[@schrodingersyoutubechannel4426]

Is this the same bass solo on live shit Mexico City audio? It sounds like it and it's a similar date

[@millersethe]

It would be hard to say he isn't one of the best bass players in the world after watching this.

[@THESONICSPEEDDEMON]

7:38 no one: My dentist office:

[@nicolascage238]

The tone hurts my soul

[@dylanchope8992]

5:33 Metalshock by Jason's previous band Flotsam and Jetsam!!

[@Snandra66]

I love how you can hear his clean tone bleeding through the wah and distortion.

[@user-tn5oe3cu1b]

Jason has a talent and energy. And still have.
