From all the Kirk interviews I've experienced over all the years is he has always been consistent with being super grateful with his success and still gets emotional talking about getting there.
Saw his Beato interview. The guy is a genuine legend to me. While other members went through some dark stuff to cope (alcohol abuse ect), I feel like his genuine passionate psyche allowed him to get emotional with all that happens and not feel less than.
Bloody refreshing in an era where we seem to be regressing to somehow equating "emotional detachment" as "manliness"
Jason's a really excellent musician, he sounded really good with them, and was the right person to take over after Cliff was gone. He stuck it out for 14 years, that's pretty good going.
All that in just 2 weeks? That's painful
That's what I thought too!
I've been a fan since '86 but never knew auditions started just 2 weeks after. Wow
And they never got over the loss of Cliff, it took Jason leaving, James going into rehab for the first time, (kirk had been previously to cope with his issues).
No one expects them to fully get over Cliff, he was such a huge influence on the other three members, that went higher than just musically.
Nobody said music industry is easy. When you have a record label to answer to, tours to fulfill, money involved, contracts to oblige..
And 23-24 years old. What do you know at that age.
They didn’t want to stop. Had they waited they would have sunk into depression and never recovered
And then over time they took everything out on him. He was an amazing asset to come along when he did
In Retrospect...Unfortunately Jason Wasn't Allowed To Be Jason As Cliff Was Allowed To Be Cliff.
They moved to SF because Cliff. He was their Steve Harris. Held a lot of influence over the guys back in the day
Jason will always be Metallica's best live bassist. He was the whole package despite not being as technical as Cliff.
Jason is a shit bassist
Loved him in the day. His energy and backing vocals. But Rob is way better bassist live. The old tunes played the way Cliff played em again.
@@Walksthewalk Jason didn't play them the same way cliff did, and he was the better overall bassist FOR Metallica.
You're being an elitist saying Rob is better because he plays it like cliff.
You need to get over it.
Jason live overall, packed an infinitely harder punch than Cliff and Rob
Cliff and and Rob are better technically.
But they lack everything else Jason has, and Jason is still very technically able despite using a pick.
If you're all going to say is because Rob plays like Cliff,
Or Cliff plays with his fingers.
No one debating this is going to listen to you.
@@TheRemulosEpsolonProgramme 😂😂😂🖕Rob is better. Listen to his work with all his previous bands
@@Walksthewalk no one cares
Cliff will always be in our hearts forever & i believe he's spirit is always guiding Metallica 🌹
Some people didn’t even plug in their instrument James instantly said next just because of the way they looked
what?
That's rich coming from the band that went from thrash metal titans, to uber poser faguettes. Metallica sucks shit through a sewer hose post afja while other bands manage to be real metal, without having it in their name. Shame!
@@peepongdingdong9208is that you Dave?
I mean I get that. They have to fit the attitude of the band
Where did you hear that?
I love Jason.
Same!
I love Kirk, he rocks it! I think Jason is good too, he is the one who left the band.
He focking left the band!
@@icankillbugsi would have too if i was treated like that
They should've never let Jason go.
I started a new job the very day my Mom died. I could sit around and sulk and feel sorry for myself. I chose to work that day.😢
sorry for your loss
& Kirk has grown into such a lovely guy.
Always been
That interview was his early 20's you can tell. Can you not tell?
So, he has still grown into a lively guy.
lovely not lively.
@@elisabethlewis6084 Duh we all mature within time. But not all.
I can understand why he doesn't usually write lyrics. Master of, you know, I'm pulling your, you know
I wonder who the other two were.
Correction: Asked if he wanted to fill in on the tour. According to Jason, he was a hired hand and was later offered a perm spot.
Yep. First year was $500 per week and a year later was a full member
Really? I’ve never heard that. I watched a couple of interviews with Jason talking about the audition. I’m not saying that’s true. I’ve just never seen him or any other band Member mention that.
Source? Never heard that
@@iamtheai2759 @Tooledyou2 It has been mentioned in a few interviews I think Lars once or twice, and by Jason himself in the interview he did where he was asked about him leaving the band.
In that same interview, he says that the 'bad treatment' thing is more myth than fact. He was only being pranked for a few months and after that things were fine. He even says he pranks the 'new guy' in his own band the same way, and finds it understandable, because of being the new guy.
@@RatBotEins I just googled it, looks like you are right
Who were the 2 other people?
U feel for him them back then. Been fan since 84 Here to end of Metallica Opus of music
In my opinion that was precisely the problem, to look for a long term guy instead of a touring member to end the tour, just after your big brother died.
I think they should have hired someone, ended the tour and the look for a full member, while you are not grieving. Problem was, Jason was the replacement of someone irreplaceable.
They definitely should have hired a touring bassist and probably had a tech/roadie on deck who could have fit the bill.
I disagree that Cliff was irreplaceable, though. If he was truly irreplaceable, they would have disbanded the group like Led Zeppelin did after John Bonham's death. Instead, they chose to move on. Jason stepped up and did a great job.
Id really like to know who the other two bassists were
September 27 1986 Cliff Burton died in Sweden while on tour in the tragic bus accident crash in 1986 and 43 days after the accident Jason Newsted took his place and continued to tour with Metallica until he recorded And Justice For All from January 28 to May 1st 1988 until the Justice Album was released on August 25th of 1988 it was the first Album after their bassist Cliff Burton was killed in 1986 and it was their first album to future Jason Newsted on bass guitar for the first time ever.
Why hire another bassist if you're just going to turn his bass down to zero on the next record? If I joined a band and they did that to me, I'd be furious. I've never understood why Jason just let them do that to him.
The record was done. He wasn't there for the mixing. What was he supposed to do at that point?
@@MrOctober44 Are you really going to try to convince us that Jason deserved to have his bass tracks lowered to zero just because he wasn't present during mixing?
@@SniffHeinkel what the hell are you talking about? I said when they mixed It, he wasn't there. When he heard what they did, they already turned the record in
@@MrOctober44And you think that Lars didn't do that on purpose? C'mon.
Jason was awesome for the band. But I still they should have gone with Terry Bollea.
"he focking left the band" - Lars
I want to know who the other 2 people are
The top four "Finalists" for Cliff Burton's replacement were said to be Newsted, Willy Lange of Laaz Rockit, Joey Vera of Armored Saint, and Les Claypool. Willy Lange and Joey Vera probably were closer to being offered the job than Claypool, due to stylistic differences though.
@@Surreal_Wizarddefinitely gonna look into this. I’ve heard of Les being a replacement possibility but not sure if it was here or when Newstead left
@@ColdwallbarI don't think Les auditioned when Jason left. By that time he had Primus going, plus Oysterhead and Flying Frog Brigade had just started. There's no way he could have joined Metallica with all that stuff going on. I feel like they would have shown him in Some Kind of Monster when they showed some of the bassists that tried out; Rob, Pepper Keenan, Twiggy Ramirez, Chris Wyse from The Cult, Scott Reeder from Kyuss, a couple of others. He definitely did try out after Cliff died, they talked about it in the Behind the Music special on VH1. ua-cam.com/video/ZJqCojRI0t8/v-deo.html
@@Surreal_Wizard I saw a clip from James once, and he said when Les was auditioning, he was just way too good to be in Metallica 😂
he did an audition, but said he never expected to get it because of his style- he did it more out of curiosity@@Stormtrooper53
4:46 No Heineken served. Sad but true.
I detect a little slurring of the words going on. Kirk’s well on his way for that evening.
"Some of them came in high to the audition..."
I never knew Mustaine tried out for bass. 😂
Clip you alright?
40 auditions??? that's insane
I bet most of the time they were drunk when doing the bass auditions
@@dougcrawford6386 Its pretty much on record they were ripped out of their head the whole time.
Bands should be more a family of professional and passionate musicians than the hired guns model. Not knocking on people who do that for a living, but it nicer to be welcomed in as a part of a team than be a replacement waiting to be replaced
They should have picked Dick Crocco
Jason was and always will be THE Metallica bassist. He fit in the band and contributed more than any of the others. I'm sure the band would be much better today if he was still in it, but I give him mad props for walking away from the biggest band in the world cause they weren't treating him with respect. That takes major balls!
As much as I like Jason, what did he actually contribute to the band?
Live vocals, a lot of badass attitude and energy? Sure, but musically he did not bring much to the table. In fact he left because his musical expression was better represented with his other project, and the band made it clear that they could not wait for a year or whatever time for him to tour with another band. It was not going to happen so he left.
Again, I love Jason, fucking amazing guy, but 'his' Metallica is the 90s Metallica, which a lot of people don't like, and didn't bring much in the studio; live he was a beast.
@@RatBotEins Well, when you're in a studio with Lars and James you dont really have much of a chance to provide input. At least not back in those days. They have been known to be a bit on the controlling side.
The blackened riff was his, too bad you couldn't hear him actually playing it when the album came out. Cliff by far contributed the most in writing ,structures,and arrangements. Jason was a good replacement live,in studio he , after ajfa, gave a good full sound to Metallica, but Rob is the guy he certainly plays Cliffs pieces better than Jason especially Call of Ktulu, which is played the way it is for a reason that Jason never got. I just prefer a finger style player with metallica just like i prefer a pick style with Megadeth, those original players are two hard to replace guys
@@AnonyBass Well there is this guy called Kirk Hammet or something, that is featured in more than half of Metallica's catalogue, and in every single album since he joined, except for Hardwired.
I repeat, I like Jason, great guy and amazing live performer, but in the studio brought little to no input. And when you listen to the stuff he was writing in the 90's, which turned into his Echobrain project, it has almost nothing to do with metal at all, so in a way I understand why his contribution was next to nothing, and why he started the project and he left the band.
@@RatBotEins Anyone who even remotely follows the band knows how bad Jason was the whipping boy for basically his entire tenure with the band and was pretty much told what to play. He attempted to bring many ideas to the band, and due to the controlling nature of Lars and James none of that ever came out on tape. Just one of the many reasons he got out when he did! His era could have been much different had his ideas been heard. He is like the Dave Grohl of bass players.
Wouldn't Kirk have to go through that??
Clearly cliff was a blood sacrifice
doomsday for the deceiverrrrrr
Kirk "ya know" Hammett
Turn up the bass ,larsss
LOL Kirk talks like he's 10 years old.
I can’t imagine losing ur friend and true brain behind a blossoming band and life project. Just to replace them. But also like he said u can’t sulk. They know what would’ve happened if they didn’t continue.
James and Lars are the true brains behind Metallica.
@@awallner1 lars wasn't at this time though. watch the early interivews with cliff. he usually had the most vision and he was very forward thinking. he had the most interesting things to say. he was a much better spokesman than lars was. it wasn't until cliff died that lars fit in to the position he holds now.
the band relocated 400 miles away just to get cliff in the band. they wouldn't have done that for lars if the roles were reversed.
These are all value judgements and faith. If you believe Cliff was the nexus of that band, then he was. But, for me, your arguments don't hold any water. For one, who is better speaker is entirely a value judgement. Lars was a recent citizen of the US, so his accent may not have been euphonious to listen than CB. But regardless of elocution, it was Lars and James who formed the band, and they wrote a majority of the songs, even those with your beloved on the writing credits. Those are the facts, which is indicated in the writing credits and biographies. Now, did Cliff influence them, sure. But it's hyperbolic and ahistorical to claim he was the guiding light of Metallica. It's also not persuasive that James, Lars, and Dave moving to San Francisco means Cliffs was the man in charge. That was just his condition for being recruited, and the rest of the band didn't want to live in LA anyway: they were looking for an excuse to leave. They considered it poser central. @@williamgatesenson
Would had loved to know which were the other two they had in the final step, besides Jason.
I foolishly thought, “oh, cool… they hired Jason Newsted. He wrote all the killer shit on the Flotsam record. His writing input is going to make Metallica even better!” Not so much.
Yep, I was a kid and had been playing for about 3years and that F&J album and Jason's playing was a huge influence along with Cliff too,so it was extremely disappointing when he was buried on AJFA ,and quite frankly he never did anything that was as interesting to me as the Doomsday album after it
Doomsday for The Deceiver sends anything after Metallica's first three home on a stretcher. I'd personally say the same of MOP and RTL too. KEA was good but I liked those songs wayyy better on NLTL. Though I'd have a harder time justifying Doomsday to people who would die on the hill of the first 3 full lengths being the greatest shit ever haha
Blackened absolutely made Metallica better!
@@danzemacabre8899 The Sexoturica demo is awesome. "Zone of Death" should have been a Metallica song.
And they treated him like hell over a span of 15 years
And made him a millionaire over a night. Sounds worth it to me.
They didn't treat him like hell for 15 years this is a bs false internet narrative that has been started modern day. The hazing was 6 months to a year max. They were close and good friends most of the time he was with them. It wasn't a constant Jason bashing like the Jason fanboys wanna make it. He left because he didn't have the creative freedom he wanted and James didn't want anyone doing side projects at the time. It had nothing to do with being treated badly or anything like that. Stop spreading the false bs.
Yes..boo hoo..all they did was make him financially set for life.
STFU.
@@midnight347 I still can't fault him for leaving though. Metallica takes nearly a decade to make shit tier records. Last decent one to me was death magnetic but besides that, just about any album post black is shit.
They didn't. At least according to Jason himself. If you bothered to watch interviews with them from the time Jason was in the band, you'd see the friendship and respect grew over time
