[@midnight347]

@@ronnydittrich2181 stop with the oh Metallica treated Jason bad cry me a river bs. They didn't treat him bad. He got hazed in the beginning when they were in their mid 20s because imo they didn't properly grieve cliffs death they just kept going which was good for their career overall but bad for them as individuals. They're human people make mistakes but this whole Jason got treated terrible narrative is just wrong. They were actually good friends for most of that time and in the early 2000s they were in a bad place. James was in a bad place. But he didn't treat Jason real bad or anything the way people make it out to be. It was unfair that he expected Jason not to do a side project when he isn't allowed to contribute much into Metallica but again people are human and make mistakes and James is a diff person than he was 20 years back. People really over exaggerate this shit it's like a KZbin internet trend I've noticed.
