People can say this and that but the fact remains....JASON WAS THE ATTITUDE THAT CARRIED METALLICA THROUGH THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S. Had he not brought the energy,attitude,and the discipline to metallica he did after Cliff died metallica wouldnt have been as big as they got...jason DESERVES HIS DUES HE CARRIED THE BAND WHEN THEY NEEDED IT THE MOST
Major props Jason for being open about your addiction. I met you at a Chophouse Band show in Napa California at Silos back in 2016, I was the guy with the Elvis book that you signed, I finally got to meet my hero!!! Love ya man!!!
Such a humble guy. He is still so complimentary about metallica despite how things panned out between them. I miss him in metallica but kudos to him for being so true to himself and his situation throughout.
The only realistic ordinary guy of metallica. I watched you headline at milton Keynes bowl 1993... i was completely blown away by your solo performance most of all. Jason rates top on my own list of best in the world not just in metallica but every performance. Thanks for all your hard work. Legend!
When I was a teenager I wanted to be like you, now that I am older I would like to become as real as you are! Thanks Jason for the memories and for being honest.
Love you Jason. I seen you 4 times during those years in Maryland and Pennsylvania Thank you for all you did in for us fans and the band. Hope your shoulder's are doing good. mine have been pretty messed up for 13 years now :(
In my 33 years of absorption in the metal world I've never heard or read a bad word about Jason. My favourite member of Metallica. Humble, dynamic and passionate. Such a legend of music.
I bumped into Jason at Guitar Center in Concord over 15 years ago. Such a nice and humble guy. I definitely will be checking out the Chop House band. Walnut Creek is just a hop skip away from Vallejo. 👍🏻
Never realized Jason was injured and in enough pain to get addicted to Vicatin. Pretty deep to talk about that. Wouldn't surprise me if he's had neck issues too with decades of head banging. The fame and money comes with a toll on the body, much like an NFL player.
Fascinating how he does not hesitate when he speaks. No "uhm" "eee" "aaaand", no nothing. Like his composing philosophy, just let it flow. Good guy Jason.
Jason Curtis Newsted (Battle Creek, Míchigan; 4 de marzo de 1963) es un músico estadounidense, conocido por haber sido el bajista de la banda de thrash metal Metallica desde 1986 hasta 2001.
Jason I've always adored you..p.s even though I love James as well - I still get pissed at the way he treated you- anal retentive bully that he is! Lars too-..truth is you carried the band for years and gave it that unique sound,you can never be replaced, despite the poor treatment you have remained so humble and authentic- traits that can not be bought! Thank you for the music.
He was the one that me a 5 year old crying cause I missed everyone but then he came out of nowhere signed my shirt a hat and he was my favorite member already so it was a dream come true not a lot of people get to meet their fav celeb musicians and was always loyal to Jason year later the same maybe 1999 after not sure load or reload same thing he was doing autographs still loyal to him
Do you remember when we went to go see Motley Crue open for KISS in Phoenix and we thought it was cool to leave right after they played instead of sticking around to see KISS?
Wasn’t this from 2020? That photo in the background of TCB looks like an album cover ;) - Fingers crossed! I know he said last year he was looking to release something around April 2021.. Cheers.
Never heard anybody else say this - that pain pills often create pain, but they most certainly do. The standard opiates like he was taking will do that after a while. First they give you a sensation of wellbeing and relief, but after a while the whole interaction changes - you take them just to feel normal, but they're not really doing much for the pain itself. Then, after a while, you realise that the pain often gets worse when you take them, and eventually, it reaches a point where they are very thing that is causing the pain. Problem is, once you get into long term chronic pain management, it becomes very difficult to tell what is causing what, and many people don't realise what's going on, often upping the dosage to dangerous levels. Most pain is psychological, and these drugs are designed to create long term dependency by ensuring that the perception of pain is ongoing and never really heals. You only realise this once you stop taking them, but of course that is easier said than done, and in some cases it can be dangerous if not done correctly.
Fuck,I am in recovery after a surgery like his,I am immediately going to stop overusing my good side because it is starting to hurt me also.Dont want a second surgery 🤢The docter told me this already but I didn't listen.If I hear it from Jason,I will listen.Thx friend💪🤘💋
Anyone who has suffered shoulder injury will know that even when the rehab in the shoulder you can never really play as hard as you used to. I've never been able to play aggressive music since my rotary cuff repair.
Yeah addiction will steal years of your life, Jason just record and self publish music. You don't need to tour or nothing just release new music. Put it out there. The Newstead band had some great music.
I think Jason made a good decision. No matter how much I like the music I see they are egomaniacs. Also he was there during their golden age, after he left their new albums were meh.
Say some prayers for Jason so his hands heal up he developed some weird hand problem and it took away some of his musician abilitys pray he gets his abilitys back because without Jason metallica wouldn't have kicked ass in the 90s and early 2000s they were unstoppable metal kickassery lol , but if you are a fan of metallica still they made a fucking kickass jam called LUX Aertera , i might have spelled that A word wrong lol its there fastest jam since battery dam good shit they just made it in 2022 really fucking shreds hope one day Jason can do a final concert with them all the fans love the band when they were all together that new tan fella muscle guy they got tho that replaced Jason he is a good musician as well tho so least they got someone that looks heavy metal as fuck haha
