      Heck No. I've been playing bass for 26yrs now & fretless bass. I'm also a bass tech for a few professional metal bands that tour the world & Cliff Burton was by far the best bassist Metallica has ever had. Jason had a lot of energy on stage & great backing vocals but when it comes to pure talent Cliff was just an amazing bassist who attacked his bass playing like a lead guitarist which is super hard to do as well as stay in the pocket. #1 Cliff Burton. #2 Robert Trujillo. #3 Jason Newsted. #4 Ron Mcgovney.

      Nothing against Robert Trujillo, but you might as well call his tenure “the boring years”. The band was well beyond its days of innovating by that point, and had descended into lazy blues rock riffs. James’ vocal melodies disappeared into two note crap. And their life performances are just… meh. I saw them in 1998 and they were incredible. I saw them in 2012 and they were so so boring.
      I recently watched some videos of Metallica from around the end of the Puppets tour with Jason, and they were FEROCIOUS. I had actually forgotten that they used to be incredible, because they’ve been lame for decades now.

    The only EMG you'll hear on the early albums (Kill em all - MoP) is Kirk's lead guitar tracks. Hetfield didn't start using them until some time into the MoP tour, before that he used Gibson Dirty Fingers & Duncan Distortions. ...And Justice For All, is the first album where Het recorded his tracks with EMG loaded guitars.

      @AdamYoudell 8 років тому +2

      +Mike Brink I heard a better one, *music is not competition it's communication*. That's why guys like Kurt Cobain are legendary rock stars and guys who are 100x more skilled at guitar or singing are obscure. Both are artists but many more people could relate to Kurt's music. Same with rappers and other people that skilled musicians may look down on. I don't care for their music but MILLIONS of people do. I guess maybe the same way some people can look at certain types of visual art and say it's amazing but then another person looks at it and says"I don't get it". Metal is certainly a form of music that alot of people don't get and don't like, but it's loved by millions as well. At the end of the day just gotta make what you really feel like making and let the chips fall where they may.

    jason , gara love this guy, I all ways will love his time in metallica, as a bass player, as a singer and rocking the staje...
    my personal thing with jason its,... the time when he left metallica, he didnt left when metallica was in the top of the world, even doght, he was very well misstreateded, he left when metallica was very low, allmost disolved as a band, they where making no music, and the media has like theres no more room for trash metal no more... and thast when he left this band
