Metallica perform "Harvester of Sorrow" off of their 1988 album "...And Justice for All" with former bassist Jason Newsted. Recorded live @ The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on December 5th, 2011 (the first of four Metallica 30th birthday concerts).

Two bassists playing a song that is of And Justice For All. The irony.

Man, I love Jason's stage appearence! Rob may be a better bass player technically but I don't care. Jason is soo much more Metallica to me.

[@hobhamwich]

Erik Sjowall He is, still, what Metallica used to be. He cares. He spills it all, every time. He plays like it matters.

[@chrisbarkas1052]

Dude Jason has written badass riffs for metallica

[@paulaao]

I dont understant why you say rob is more techincal, just see what jason does solo

[@sweetness34km]

Rob better lol NOT

[@blessley4901]

@Toca fun i lobe jason. You can’t replace him. Just like you can’t replace Cliff. I’m glad they didn’t try to. Robert is great bur no he’s not jason. However i understand many new fans will like him as well or better and thats fine. Metallica made a fine choice to keep the Metallica train 🚂 chugging on down the line! Rob’s had some big shoes to fill and has done it admirably!!!!

[@metalvz-ic7xg]

all of a sudden right when jason preforms with them, it's like everyone in the room is more powerful and full of energy and happiness.

[@BTinHD]

One reason why everybody loves Jason is because he made the effort to come out to every Metclub meet n' greet.

[@xbrasilx27]

Jason gave 100% of his energy during this gig just like in the good old days...

[@saintedmaggot7679]

People don't realise that not only was Jason a fantastic bassist and song writer, but when he left Metallica lost another frontman. The dude brought so much energy and charisma. And is easily the most likeable dude to have ever played in the band.

[@timbertime7823]

A great example of this is the first concert with the San Francisco Symphony in 1999. Jason was in total command of that performance, arguably even more than James was. You can tell James was pretty nervous performing with the Symphony but Jason was in his element.

[@Zombie636]

I like Rob but to me, Metallica has always been James, Kirk, Lars and Jason.

[@Metal-Possum]

Finally, somebody who doesn't think Cliff Burton or Go Home. I think their bass players became more talented as they kept replacing them, but I do like Jason a whole lot. And Justice For All is the only Metallica album I can actually tolerate these days.

[@j.s.8496]

@@Metal-Possum I'm a "purist", so Cliff will always be GREAT, but ..., unfortunately, he wasn't able to continue with the band. IMO,... they were EXTREMELY LUCKY to have found Jason to "fill the gap", so to speak . No disrespect to Robert, ( who, btw, ... is an outstanding bassist) , but I still see Jason as the "heir apparent" to Metallica's baseline, ( whenever James , and Lars would allow it...)..... Just my two cents.....

[@stalwartoak6345]

Fuck Rob

[@jmike2039]

Aside from and justice, metallica died when cliff died

[@batmaneatspizza]

@@jmike2039 dude just no, black album is amazing and load is underrated as hell

[@moonmanvic]

Keep Rob and bring Jason back!! Why can't one of the baddest Metal bands on earth have two Bassists? I heard Metallica play with Rob and Jason at some other event and it sounded just as good. Slap+ pick x two bass guitars = AWESOME.

[@magneticmagnet4501]

moonman_Z yes please

[@fuji302]

Lars couldn’t handle that much bass.

[@jusufizkastila]

I feel like lars playes better with Jason.

[@russkate88]

Some Random Dude and even better with Cliff

[@namiks1]

No wonder the man had to have neck & shoulder surgery. No one head-bangs like Jason. No. One.

[@fedora997]

Tom Araya did. He was a brutal headbanger

[@Krzztl]

*laughs in Cliff*

[@BegetterVIIEVEN]

Especially when he would windmill with his long hair!

[@azmilzakuanchannel738]

agree

[@zacx6970]

I was born at Jason Newsted Era and i must say i can’t picture Metallica without Jason as bassist. He really looks like what a metallica members should be. Lol

[@nicolasriveros943]

"two bassplayers, my worst nightmare..." lol

[@Un4GivNX]

Dude, James aged so much in the last 8 years...

[@UnchainedEruption]

It's the horrible, debilitating condition called life. Humans, these ape creatures, have such short lifespans. And we'll all be long dead before the scientists finally figure out how to change that...if they ever do at all.

[@sultaa86]

Well he's went Grey pretty early. I think he was almost completly grey by 2000 or 2001? But i think he's doing quite okay for 59

[@Danimal300zx]

Seeing this makes he miss Jason more. Got into Metallica in 1988/1989 and they haven't been the same without Jason since 2000.

[@odtsmit]

I have never seen any bassplayer that was so into the music. Look how intense Jason is playing. Look from 3:52 till 4:33. Jason feels the music so much! 4:33 for example. Amazing!

[@FlipGuitarist80]

And that I think is what’s lacking with Metallica’s live shows, the intensity and aggressiveness of Jason.

[@odtsmit]

@@FlipGuitarist80 I'm with you man. Of course they aren't the same as they were 30 years ago, but Jason brought that sparkle in that's not that much present anymore.

[@KotnascherXII]

It gives me so much joy to see Jason with Metallica again.

[@fitty77]

Don't say Robert should get out of the way. This intended to be a reunion of members of Metallica. And Robert is part of it. It is nice to see Jason back. For me, his problem was this: Cliff Burton. His dead give a shade all over Metallica bass place. He was amazing. And for me, Jason was also amazing. He went on his road, like in so many other jobs or families. And life went on. Now is Robert an it also is amazing. The problem with Metallica, never was the bass player (despite Cliff's death). It was a matter of egos. Somehow, is hard to understand how Kirk survived. But all that is part of what made Metallica. They were not perfect. Just like that best friend we have. We know he is not perfect. We know all their issues. But we love him for what he is, issues included.

[@kmsmith1210]

Wow...It was really cool seeing Jason up on stage with them again. With all due respect to Trujillo, they were such an incredible force with Jason.

[@UnchainedEruption]

I'm loving the punk rock look James has got going on here. And Rob lookin' like Jesus. No better song to have Jason back for, not just because it's from his era, but those backing vocals of his on Harvester were always so *killer.*

[@gasper47]

the 2 things jason does as soon as the song starts going. 1) goes to his favorite spot beside the drums, wheres hes been for decades touring. like a true bassist he listens to the drums. 2) resumes his non-stop headbanging. nobody in metal, not even slayer headbang like jason. loved the binge and purge tours that was history in the making.

[@acersteel3735]

Jason will always be my favorite guy in Metallica

[@pgrove]

They lost so much when he left. They should have all got on their knees for him to have him not leave when they had the chance.

[@jessedeleon4123]

donangry the management had a big part of it too. They could have cared less if jason left. But most of the blame was james at the time. Jason wanted to take the year off james said no we gotta start a new record. I wish jason would come back. Out of all those guys he honestly looks and sounds the best.

[@FlipGuitarist80]

James’s ego, too proud. Him and Jason could’ve worked things out, Jason I think just wanted them to realize their stupid ways. There’s a scene on SKOM where they mentioned that he wanted to come back. I understand that Jason didn’t wanna do the therapy bullshit and that he wanted all four of them just to talk things out. So yeh I’d say most of the blame is on James.

[@pastellarium]

This is the best Metallica performance that i've seen since Fade to Black VH1 in 2000

[@joeblackwolf17]

Rob, love the spirit and the guy is like a monk in a heavy metal band but really it looked awkward at times when he was doing the weird back vocals. again great bass player and great guitar composer but man Jason was a more aggressive fit for metallica, he even pushes James to higher more aggressive limits.

[@synthoelectro]

Jason looks like one of Metallica, always appreciated him. Took me a while to get use to Rob, but he's a stand up guy.

[@Tdrummer888]

Seeing Jason on stage with Metallica makes me happy. Knowing it's not permanent makes me sad lol he's by FAR my favorite 'Tallica bassist

[@xphile01]

WELCOME HOME JASON!

[@Habuji221]

Kirk looks so happy with Jason on stage :)

[@VENDETTAFREEMANify]

Man I have a ton of respect for ROB but OMFG! JASON despite always playing with pick he sounds so fucking terrific AWESOME! Oh god, why! ? WELCOME BACK JASON! PLEASE COME BACK!

[@SpectorEuro4]

Vendetta Freeman here we go.... another starter bass player putting down the pick because fingers is for "pros".. pathetic

[@shayneoneill1506]

Best Metal I've been playing for 30 years, and honestly the reason I use fingers is because I'm left handed and fucking terrible with a pick lol

[@homebaked1731]

+Shayne O'Neill I'm a lefty and play left handed and I play both fingers and pick. Not really hard. But I see where your coming from. I found it hard to adapt to pick I wanted to play pick because Paul McCartney does. Now I can do both

[@MKDumas1981]

Technically, I'm ambidextrous, and can play on both sides. Personally, if I'm playing something fast, I prefer to use fingers, and if it's slower and thuddier, like this^, I'll use a pick. There's nothing wrong with either, as long as it benefits the song. Anyone who says otherwise will be challenged to a bass duel.

[@shayneoneill1506]

Fingers let you play more complicated stuff simply because of the physics of it. But a pick has better timbre. In the studio its usually better to use a pick because it'll sound better, but sometimes fingers are the only way to go especially when playing stuff across string. Matter of taste really. The real question is why don't more *guitarists* use fingers. Theres stuff thats literally impossible on a guitar with a pick.

[@JasonicIR8]

Jason is the best!!!! Metallica with Jason is the true metallica... Jason rest my favorite bass players.... and vocals backing, Jason kick ass!!!!

Jeff Moore true. But imagine how Lars would play if Cliff were alive still.

Jason all day long......

Jaso is so cool! He still lives the song!!!! Bring back Jason!!!!

[@TheKabasti]

only newsted can back up vocal brutally.. pls come back we miss u so much..

[@123lowp]

I'll take Jason over Rob and Cliff. Jason's voice is the best backup for Metallica.

[@sookmajoaby]

Cliff and Jason both played with soul so them over Rob for sure but it's hard to split the other 2..prob just nudge Jason as he was there thru their prime and aggressive

[@marck051072]

seeing this makes me happy. like the man says rob all respects but jason always be missed

Anybody who says Jason sucks or Jason was not Metallica go and watch Harvester or Sorrow from San Diego 1992. Then express your opinions. Jason was the man with Metallica and NO one can say otherwise.

[@denidemin]

OMG! I would give up anything to see Jason live again!

[@sasquash8709]

Rob never seemed the right choice to me, don't get me wrong great bass player but Jason just suited and gave the band the complete look! Great to see him getting such a response

[@rtomas47]

Hard to hear bass on studio version, but here? Just Awesome!

[@cucakranting7801]

Jason amazing....

[@MrBanditz28]

Its great to hear Jason on back up vocals again , I wish I could have seen the band live when he was with them

[@TheMindFiddler]

Speaked from my heart. Every word.

[@zerotolerance5581]

I know it sounds like a shitty thing to say, and I have nothing but love for Robert, but I would have enjoyed this more if it would have been Jason playing bass by himself. It was only going to be a few songs on one night. Robert still would have been the man going forward with no harm done. I just would have enjoyed it more if it were Jason alone.

[@matiasmirandaarrredondo8231]

Gotta love that "language of the mad" part. For me Jason is above both Cliff and Rob.

[@themaurizandre]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWSTED!!

[@FSU348]

[@vmackey11]

I love how Jason gives Rob a pound but gives the rest of the band a hug. I know he's still in the Metallica family and i also know it goes deeper than that...Its great to see him with the agin, welcome back Jason...

[@magnus6314]

This make me happy

[@joeblackwolf17]

anyway it's all in the past, Metallica are still doing what they can at their age, you have to respect them. but old aggressive soul is gone. its natural that it happens at that age, with money, kids, families, your priorities shift man but now and then you see the old metallica in brief instances. here and there. still much respect to this band.

[@cheranguista]

JASON'S MIND: thanks Metallica for let me play again ROBERTS MIND: thanks Jason for quitting

[@eetfuk8200]

Jason was the connection between Metallica and the fans. I really believe he was the biggest reason why Metallica soared in popularity in the 90's. The fans felt like they could trust Jason because he was the most down to earth member of the band. Now it feels like there's a little bit of separation there. Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica and always will, but it hasn't felt right since Jason left. Rob could leave the band tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eyelash.

[@hoyeonlim5879]
