[@DanielRodriguez-eh1qd]

I think right after reload he started raising the height. In the year 2000 he had an accident and hurt his back I’m pretty sure ever since then is when he stopped wearing his guitar so low. I’m their last performance with Jason on VH1 and when they play I disappear on MTV is when you really start to see it.

He uses his guitar pretty high between 83 85 in 86 and at the end of 86 He lowers it a bit in 89 he lowers it more and finaly during black album He lowers it to this height and He pulls the guitar higher during the summer sanitarium tour due to his back injuries

Jason has a ton of vocal fry, he's almost a death metal vocalist at this point. I personally like the style but I don't think it suits Metallica.

[@belfagor1980]

In 1990 my parents moved to a new house. I was 10, didn't know metal existed. The previous tenants had left some trash, including a small box of cassettes, no cases and no marks on them. I played them all in the old National-Panasonic stereo and only one had music on one side (just 30 mins), the other side being blank. I could not figure out what the hell was that noise but I was instantly hooked for life by that pounding DA-DA-DA.. DA-DA-DA-DAAA-DA-DA in the first song, and specially by the haunting inexplicable mournfulness of an instrumental piece at the end of those glorious 30 mins of strange music that had fallen upon my innocent hands by pure chance. A couple years later, already becoming a metalhead and after listening to it a few million times, I finally realized I had been listening to the side two of ..and Justice For All. Now, almost 30 years later, every single time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps at the realization that this is the first metal song I ever heard and came to deeply love, without even knowing who played it. Peace.

Ya I love Kirk. I spent ten years study his style and it's awesome. Beautiful but he is sloppy as hell live. I realize now he never quite had the chops. When he does the ascending and descending runs with the fast alternate picking I think he's just tremolo picking and hitting almost random notes but still following the scale shapes on one string . Slop. He's definitely not the best technical player. Dime was way more skilled but I can't really choose one over the other.

[@dakisdada1711]

When I was at the sixth grade, almost twelve years old (1989), I read Metal Hammer a lot but the only cassettes I owned had Guns n Roses and ACDC. So I decided to go to the record store to buy something new. I was between Metallica and Motorhead, just for their names, without knowing nothing about their music. I decided to go for Metallica just for the name. I went to the store and asked the man there: "Do you have any new cassettes of Metallica?"(sic!) I thought that anything old was slow and soft. So he showed me a few. I remember I saw Kill Em All and something with lIghtnings on the cover! I finally picked something other and when I went to pay I did not have enough money. I said to the man: "Wait for me to get home and get more money" He said: "Wait I ll give you something else and you wont have to pay that much". So he gave me an untitled rewritable tape! And I paid for a rewritable tape! But when I went home and put the tape to the player, the sound of a very formidable music filled my ears. Some years later, and as I already listened to the tape with no titles and no sign whatsoever for thousands of times, I realised that the record was the ...And Justice For All. The tape brings me great memories, even if Dyers Eve was slaughtered because it did not fit in the tape!

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

Little Story: I'm a guy with Autism. One of the things my particular kind of Autism does, is mess with my eye hand coordination. Which basically killed every chance of me playing guitar. But when I heard this song, I wanted to play it so bad, or at least just the main riff. So I taught myself to play electric, like Jeff Healey. I had taught myself to play power cords, tuning strings to different notes, WAY DIFFERENT from normal tunings, but it worked for the way I played. I started, and deemed this one too hard, so i started with "The Game" By Motörhead. I crushed it, and played it beautifully. Soon, I was playing Motörhead like no tomorrow. Which then it was time for the real test. I started with Metallica, playing Enter Sandman. And, I got good at all kinds of Metallica, at all ages. REALLY GOOD. Up until last week, where i tried to do the full Justice album (Can't play blackened, that riff just doesn't Cooperate lol.) And when I heard this song, I took the time to learn it, and now I play this song like a dream. Friends I know dont even DARE to attempt the songs I can play. I EVEN LEARNED DYER'S EVE.

The Best ERA!! The Best Hetfield! The Best bass player! The best Energy! The Best Drums! The Best Look!! THE BEST METALLICA!!!!

[@Music_games_history]

Best bass player of metallica? You forgot about cliff.

[@andresfranks4388]

I dont forget Cliff but Jason is more compatible whit Metallica in mi opinion

[@joelgoodwin8805]

Andres Franks I think that Jason was probably the best band member fit due to sheer enthusiasm and background vocals but Cliff was the most artistic and innovative, with Rob being the most diverse and talented. As for Hetfield here... sounds kinda like he’s losing his voice. I like the 87 voice....

[@jochencooper7877]

The best band ever!

[@jjohnson9009]

Jason had great backup vocals but c'mon... Let's be realistic here.

Best live American metal band!!! Made me proud to be a metalhead and still am

[@JerryAsbury1985]

I've been watching James fingers on that guitar, & though Kirk is lead guitarist, James stays busy on his guitar also. Usually the rhythm guitarist will do some chords, not saying it's easy. But James takes rhythm guitarist to a whole new level.

[@MrParkerman6]

James plays solos on lots of their songs too.

[@JerryAsbury1985]

@@MrParkerman6 yeah I know, but the way he moves his fingers, omg I'm so jealous that I haven't learned yet.

[@dervpool]

@@JerryAsbury1985 try to learn this song. This is some of the most fun things you can play. Also this helped me to become a far better rythm guitarist. Most of the AJFA stuff is just so tight that you have to play on this level to make it sound right.

[@JerryAsbury1985]

@@dervpool yeah I had a guitar, but it's age caused it to self destruct. But my grandpa had a guitar, he used to play in church. He passed away so I took his guitar, it was an old Harmony acoustic. It needed some work, but I moved it & left it here, I guess one of my cousins took it, so now I've gotta build money to get another one.

[@TThatsWhatSheSaid1]

Especially on the AJFA album. He had some reeeally cool stuff under Kirk's solos. I think Frayed Ends of Sanity had a riff under the solo that is, to this day, one of the hardest Metallica riffs to play.

[@syracuse6651]

It's really awesome that after watching a shit ton of old videos in the late 80"s and 90's Metallica that Jason is always the topic of interest. He deserves it very much so . He's fuckin Awesome and well respected in my eyes and alot of other people.

The pinnacle of metal, right here.

[@dmitryWeirdo]

This is finally a true Metallica! AJFA their best album forever!

[@jtwilliams8895]

Jason’s backup vocals are sorely missed when Metallica plays live these days. Kirk and Robert don’t get it done. On a side note, Kirks solo on this track is so odd- it’s like he had all these techniques that he’d been waiting to fit into a song

[@ruledtrendy5066]

Yeah, all those techniques Joe Satriani had shown him

[@clinteldorado]

Ash Brace Only difference is Kirk has come up with riffs people actually want to hear, instead of the music-as-athletics “Look what I can do” crap Satriani and all the other professional virtuosos come out with.

[@rawkinj6609]

Lots of Joe Satriani ( one of his guitar teachers) licks in that solo!! Also they cut the shortest straw after the solo?

[@gsxerwhite]

Rawkin' J Vienneau yep they shortened it. I was at the show. They tried to get in many songs as possible. GnR was up next. Faith No More opened.
