Oh hell YES! I actually found this cuz Jason Newsted mentioned something about it in a recent interview. He said someone put bass to the whole album. It's on UA-cam. I don't know if this is the one he was talking about or if there's another bass justice on here but this is what I found and it kicks ass!
The bass seems like it gets in the way now. Maybe if it was dialed down a little so it sits behind the guitars. Or maybe I'm so used to how little bass there is in these songs that it's all I can hear now, lol.
It's so funny to me as an electronic producer too...bass is everything to those types of songs just as it was to metal. You FEEL the song when it's there...it can shake you. It's so important to the overall experience.

James has been in rehab more than once. They teach you to accept your mistakes and move forward. James has accepted the mistake but does not want to fix it. Lars will never admit when he is wrong. Same with St Anger. There is a good album in there if they fixed up a few things. You would also need to fix the lyrics, which are actually the worst part of the album, IMO. I have heard a good version of St Anger. It is pretty good despite the crappy lyrics.
Everyone knows Metallica only has the bassist for live purposes, James and Lars don't think anyone can truly replace Cliff Burton. That's why they mix the bass out of every album after Master of Puppets.
@@kylegoodman5196 You can hear the bass in every album after and justice for all. The story behind this album is about Lars complaining about his drum sound when the bass was playing. That's why he told the producer to turn the volume of the bass down in the mix, and that's why there is no bass on that album.
Why didn't they mix the album like most of the bands do nowadays? Left:guitar 1 Right:guitar 2 Center:solo Center:vocal(louder than drums) Center:drums(loud) And by last u put the bass behind the guitars loud enough to be listen(like megadeth does) That would be a good way......
Without a doubt! The album finally has angry sounding bass bass lines where once there were none. Jason should be allowed to record Jason's Justice and professionally mix, master and press it. He did contribute to the writing off this album and was robbed of his parts. He even wrote the epic main riff for Blackened. At least they gave him a writing nod before removing his instrument from the songs mix..
He made it better by simply turning up the bass. Jason is a badass Bass player and backing vocalist. People don't know how much Jason was singing on those albums. They think it's James but nope. It was Jason. Metallica did him dirty.
I'm the production director at THE rock station in Phoenix and I'm seriously considering pulling the audio from these masterpieces and loading them into every AJFA track we have in the system. I mean, just WOW! You know what? Fuck it, I'm doing it.......
It's unlikely that Lars and Hetfield would be able to hear the difference, and it's likely that their attorneys wouldn't hear the difference either. Everyone else would be *very* thankful.
@@zekieosun2764 They SHOULD. Have you ever noticed the bass player in Metallica has always been the most talented person in the group? Hard for Lars to keep up with.
I love AJFA but man the bottom end sounds so thin whenever I listen to the og now, I just wish there was a lossless file of this instead of the lossy nature of UA-cam
I remember my dad blasting this outta hit work f-150 from a cassette player head unit, through some custom speaker boxes him and his coworkers made from. As loud as the Kenwood would go😢 R.I.P Raymond Jones
The one thing I love about this is that it was mixed very well. Most of the “And Justice for Jason” versions make the bass louder than the guitar. Metallica is a guitar oriented band and I’m glad this was mixed in such a way that the guitars still shine while the bass is supporting the Rhythm Guitar with the drums
@@TingTong2568 this is true, but still, as the OP pointed out, u don't want the bass louder than the guitar. That is what we have here. Regardless of decibel measure, the bass sounds more prominent than the guitar. If the bass was cut by close to half (at least a third) , imo that would keep the feel of the album, while still including audible bass - to fill in the low freqs, not dominate.
@@MrSimondaniel3I'm listening through phone speakers right now, and it's perfect. I remember listening to it through good headphones, the bass was definitely more prominent. However, it stole no space from the guitars. It just filled the niche that was empty.
As a bass player I’ve searched far and wide for a tone that complimented this album. Jason’s tone was subpar, so all the other videos with boosted bass sound bad but loud 😂 this dude found a great complementary tone for the already existing album and added a new voice to an already dope album. This is my favorite version of this concept yet. Heck yes.
It's not the bass or really even Jason. It wasn't Cliff's tone, weren't his lines. And because that was the standard, in some places the added bass is amazing--but given where they had been as a band and where they were, some of it is so 'not Cliff' that it genuinely doesn't work. After listening to this, I think that during the original mix, they couldn't back it off the bass in the bad parts and push up in the good parts. That would be too uneven, so they backed out of the bass altogether.
pokdam hensem I don’t think it was quite James fault, maybe a bit. The mixer said Lars wanted to tune his drums his way, and then he tuned the bass down
i know wright, i fucking cringe when a song from that album gets tossed in the mix ... its so canny in sound almost crashed the car last time. its such a great album, they should be jailed for making sound like that.
Dude - I’ve had a few rough weeks at work and with my special needs son. Justice is one of my favorite albums, so thank you for making this so I can listen while I work ;)
It's great, I agree, but I'm just listening to Blackened right now and the bass is really really loud. Overkill in the other direction. It works since bass is the focus of the video, but I wouldn't consider this to be a balanced mix. No offense at all to the author's work, it's fucking awesome.
@@amaze2n It's probably as good as you are going to get from a post recording track laid on top of a full mix with no bass. Unfortunately we will never know how this album could have truly sounded. The recording engineer did an interview stating that even if Metallica tried to remaster the album with the bass lines intact it wouldn't be feasible because the original tapes had so many splices done during the mastering that they are probably shredded and decayed at this point. All we can do is listen to this and use our imagination to form our own perfect mix in our head.
Honestly it's more punk rock than metal but I like it that way. Metal values guitar over bass guitar. The bass is too present for a metal mix. I like it but just calling it how it is. Injustice was overkill though. Metal like bass but not bass guitar.
@@whiskerbiscuit6674 i don't agree that the metal sound is guitarrs over bass. Take the old Pantera albums for example. You can hear the bass really well and it sounds metal as fuck!

Perfect assessment you would have thought when they got inducted into the rock and roll HOF they would have re-released this Album as a thumbs up to Jason for his years of service but this is MUCH better my Bose sound system never sounded so good! Bartender another glass of Cognac Neat!
he wasn't left off the album they explained that they not long got off a tour and they had difficulty hearing the guitars and stiff so they kept on turning up the highs and mids in the mix and it eventually drowned out the bass
@@beefcake1973aus Little shit human being, drummer or anything else, but for sure without him and his music feeling while writing pieces there wouldn't be Metallica this much legendary. There wouldn't be Metallica band at all just cuz he stolen band name and he literally owns it now. Law is on his side. BTW he's spending most of his work time doing bussines things being simply Metallicas manager. Metallica equals Lars plus Het whether you like it or not man. BTW Metal up your ass friends \m/
Cliff also got left off.No way J and L wrote any of this. They just tried to go back to heavy, and its sounds like a 13 year old garage band. Mustaine, and Burton were Metallica
THIS is how the album should have been set up to sound. Bass guitar makes music sound even more powerful and sophisticated. Bass is essential for the entire feeling. We need that thunder.
The best part about this is that you didn't over-correct and boost the living hell out of the bass in the mix. It's fits nicely in the mix without overpowering everything else. Nice work.
I agree for the most part. The playing is excellent and is at the right level, but I'm not sure we'll ever know what tone was there before it all got cut out. This tone sounds a bit modern compared to the rest of the album. Jason would've used the pick as well but kudos on going the finger route. Sounds awesome.
The band lost their first bassist and then took their grief out on Jason, to the point that they even left him off the album. It's a shame, but listening to is now with bass is a real pleasure.
BINGO. Would be cool if someone did this with Jason playing his parts with the sound he wanted, then we hear the real intended version. But this is full awesome, and I'm not really a big fan. etallica is great though. Saw them live many times. Even at Woodstock and Monsters of Rock. Lars is a jerk, but is not the horrible drummer everyone makes him to be, those people that discredit him are assholes. If it weren't for him 90% of metal wouldn't even have existed past the 1990's
I like how it almost sounds more evil (at least in "Blackened", I just started the vid)... like there's now this weighty, impending doom (like a war machine rolling towards its conquest).
That Jason continued with them for another decade, after that insult, is a testament to his character. That you can actually play that shit is a testament to your madness. P.S. Others have tried...and failed...to backfill the bass on this album for many years. YOU, Sir, are the first...and only...that I recognize to have done so...with Hetfield Level tone. Buen trabajo. \,,/ _\\\ \,,/
Bass is the unsung instrument/component. It's not as 'me' focused as guitar. Not as 'glamorous' but it's where shit gets done to complete everything so let us all pay respect to bassists. *massive respect*
I bought this album when it came out I was a teenager today in the year 2024 for the first time I heard "And Justice For All" with bass!!! Thx Bass Chanel
I like how the bass isn't exaggerated, like some of these that I've seen. Just plopped right into the mix nicely, where you can hear the bass good, but not overpowering. Good job, guys.
I think I know what video (or at least one of the videos) you're referring to. This guy does a great job with his bass at serving the songs without showing off. Don't get me wrong, playing along this album the way he does is not an easy task by any means. I'm impressed and thankful for this piece of work.
I'd flat out disagree, my first time ever listening to this remix the bass sounded like it was Kill 'Em All, because it's so weird hearing it, ones mind exaggerates the volume of it. Upon further listening though yeah it sounds spot on, not as beefy as Kill, probably the same volume as Hardwired(a little louder) in the total mix. Perfect!

If I remember correctly, the original masters don't exist anymore. So there is no way they could do a remaster from the original tapes. They can only remix the songs that are complete. That is why the not too recent AJFA boxset still didn't have any bass.
@@AWG59 The solution which would have been cool would have been to get the unmastered final mixes (which do exist) and get Jason to re record his parts. Mix the re recorded bass in with the unmastered mixes, then get it mastered.
If Metallica was being honest they'd remix this album with Jason's part brought back up where it belongs and re-release it. Rush did it with Vapor Trails. Just own up and do the right thing. For both the fans and for Jason.
I believe the master tracks were either lost or damaged with the muddiness of the original. There's a video interview floating around with one of the mixers. Said the album was done and was amazing, then "someone" altered the alb before it went to print.
They released a “Remastered” version not so long ago but only tweaked the guitars. Little to no change on the bass. A missed opportunity to give to the fans what they want.
@@peckerheadpete No it wasn't, it was Lars and James. Here's the interview of the guy who did the mix and he explains the entire scenario. ua-cam.com/video/lmFgeFh2nlw/v-deo.html
Truly this is better than the original! Is it Just me or are Metallica bass players just for show? With the exception of Cliff of course. Their sound is already great, this makes it better and more complete. I honestly didn’t care too much until hearing this video. I’ve heard other attempts to increase the bass and they were just underwhelming. This makes me wonder how many bad ass Flea or Les Claypool moments Metallica and us fans have missed.
Also some respect for Jason Newsted for the fact he was so stoked to join and help Metallica at a time of need and they ALL treated him like crap and hugely disrespectfully and basically punished him for not being Cliff.. That really put me off those guys, really sh!tty true natures they have to do that to a guy for years.. Anyone any ideas on how to get my songs better known? They are chilled accoustic songs about life.. But very hard to get views.. Would appreciate any advice.. "(The) Monumental (You)" is maybe most apt for anyone who likes Metallica, but it's accoustic guitar on it! Best wishes from Rolland at Castle Hassall
The thing i love is that this video does most dont do, is you dont make the bass ungodly loud in the mix to be like "here's the bass!" You actually mixed it like a proper album. Playing is top notch too. Thank you for your hard work
@@BeardyGit89 Nah dawg, this is nearly perfectly mixed, you should be able to hear the real tone of the bass at slightly lower effective loudness as the drum kick, not just the sub notes coming through at the end of a verse like 99% of 'professionally' produced metal likes to do. Modern mixing and mastering standards are frankly rubbish and do metal no favours.
@@BeardyGit89 Bassist & mixing tech here. This is properly mixed, just not perfect. The other instruments are fully audible still and not obscured. One complication is that this guy does not have access to the original tracks for AJFA, so he can't really do much to mix it aside from turning down the original track's bass and adding his own. It's not bad, it's just not perfect. Personally, I love it.
I left a comment a while back but when I revisit this video, I’m just blown away. This is the only way to listen to And justice for all Because it makes the album perfect. When I was nine years old, and I didn’t understand that there was no base in this album I deemed it my favorite album forever Now that I hear this, it’s confirmed to be my favorite album of all time. Thank you for this. Thank you so much. This just makes this album stand out so much more than I did before.
When a man lies he murders some part of the world. Having left aside bass on this epic masterpiece of 20th century Is a big lie to Cliff Burton in first place and to art. You made me cry man reminding me my youth with a wonderful version that will replace the original I have listened to more than 300 times in the last 36 years. Respect
Everybody just talking about how the album sounds better, but I'm not seeing anyone talking about your playing: precise, effortless and full of feeling. A tour the force with finesse. Incredible job.
@@Luiz48000 His playing is great but I think the lack of low end hurts his sound as well. The bass drums sound "clicky"; there's no "thump" to them all.
When this album first came out, picked it up same day and listened to it and took it back to the store because I thought I got a 'bad' cut. I told the guy at the store that it was definitely missing low end, couldn't hear the bass, etc...something was wrong. We played it at the store and he was like yeah! Something is screwed up. He grabbed another album, and low and behold....there was something screwed up, and his name is Lars, and he ruined an entire album on his own. :)
@@FinikuxI also agree, but how I understood the situation, Lars and James kept turning up the guitars and drums... And ignored the bass. I don't believe to was their intention to spite Jason.
@Finikux no it was Lars, James just went with it. Everyone was against it from the engineers to producers. Lars was sick a coward he didn't even tell Jason.
This man is one of the best players I have ever seen, period. People watching who don't play bass have no idea how insanely difficult it is to play this material _accurately_ and _consistently_, and with fingers, no less.
@Julie Miller They've been releasing remasters of each of their early albums, but they refuse to fix the bass because "it is what it is and we don't want to rewrite history" or some bullshit. As if by remastering it they'll delete the original mix off the face of the Earth and fans who liked it won't be able to listen to it ever again. I don't get it, it's stupid, but that's what James said.
Shows exactly why fans always wanted justice for Jason Newsted. Great job by Josh DuBois and everyone involved in making this. To my ears It's certainly a enhancement to an already great album.
Because Jason was always so honest, I guess he just never believed that he had the right to tell Lars to go and pull his narsocisstical egomaniac head in and go and get phucked.
....and bass-line tracks dubbed in for all. My favorite part so far is in the beginning of the song, the camera man is shooting scenes of the bass Amp company logo, of the speaker cab microphone rigged & the control panel on the ampi itself , that eerily reminiscent of how the band's silhouette were while those very same bars were played for the original MTV Video. Fucking Excellent & very classy nod to the cinematographer who was tasked with shooting the Mighty Metallica's very first "For MTV Video z. He definitely employed a little bit of that 'ol camera magic & the guy filming the highlight of what my Friday Nights have become over the years.... anyways. This guy not only knew how to recognize these atmosphere altering, onte-time trade secret, Camera-man tricks ... but he just proved that he also knows how to use rhem!
This is not only perfectly played, it's also so well mixed that I'm pretty sure this video will forever be the way I'll listen to this great album from now on.
Honestly, hearing this album like this feels so much like hearing it for the first time again that, if this was officially released, I'd buy it without a second thought and then I'd play the s*** out of it just like I did when I discovered it. Then I'd frame the original vinyl, just for historical value, and never listen to it again.
Is it just me, or this is better than original? I don't know what's going on, the audio is wondeful, even though it's on YT. And that bass is just perfect, it cannot be played any slightly better, it's just pure perfection. And I'm not a bass fan, never really cared about lack of it on the original. Now this is my favourite way to listen to AJFA, this video.
Yeah when I first listened to the album I thought it sounded very dry due to the lack of bass but after listening to this version I can't listen to the original mix it's a shame that the remastered version has not done Jason justice and put his bass back in the mix this version has good bass tone and isn't too loud in the mix one gripe I have is that Josh was playing fingerstyle compared to Jason's playing where he used a pick which gives more attack but it doesn't affect the bass enough for me not to like it.
I legit stopped listening to the original album and just listen to this mix now, in it's entirety always. Because god damn does having an audible bass change how the songs are. SO much better.
I have been listening to this for 3 years by now, had to make a comment that this really is a treasure for us music lovers. So well made, as it should have been. A must on your own music playlist!
Right? I mean, let's have countless hours of auditions, get a seasoned metal bassist, that also had great backing vocals and then drop the bass off the mix. Maybe the bass was interfering with the drums in the mix?
Back in 1987-88, they were still young , getting rich, egos growing, and badly damaged. This album perfectly represents where they were in their lives at that time. They were imperfect and damaged and this album perfectly captures that. That’s what art is right, a representation of where you were at a certain time period.
@@rleriche5044 Like I said…. getting rich at a young age, ego getting big, damaged because of Cliffs death. Lars couldn’t handle the money and fame well and was too emotionally immature to handle that and Cliff too.
More like a band fueled on alcohol and cocaine and still grieving the loss of their bass player - Garage days had bass so Newstead assumed he'd be covered in the AJFA mixes haha!
@@lomobster Lars even went up to the engineer who mixed it WITH him in the room during their induction to the Hall of Fame and he asked 'what happened to the bass?' And he almost slugged Lars right there
I feel now is if all my life I’ve been listening to this album through cheap Chinese earphones, and suddenly I bought proper monitors and I’m discovering it again.
The only thing better than listening through a masterpiece album is watching someone so proficient who plays the missing bass with the kind of passion evident in the video. I did not expect to sit through the whole album playthough...but here I am hahaha
RIGHT?! Man, I've heard versions with the bass "mixed back in", but this is a step above and beyond! He is re-adding an element that was stolen and taken out, and as you say, doing it with a passion and proficiency that is suberb. I expected to just "check this out" for a minute, and now I'm like halfway through!
Yes so true. I remember there was an asian fella on UA-cam years ago who could play any Hendrix song you want to name note-for-note BUT WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF PASSION. This video was an pleasent surprise for me as a relatively new fan of Metallica, the whole AJFA bass thing is a lot bigger issue than I thought lmao. There are many videos dedicated to fixing the Bass in AJFA, but few with this sort of love and passion!
And Jason for All! I totally disagree with Hetfield's reason why they dropped the bass - because it competed with his guitar low end. The bass adds more low end, but on a different spectrum. The original mix always sounded thin to me, where as this mix was like adding flour to runny gravy. Thank you so much for sharing this project with the world as millions of old Metallica fans always wondered "what if...". Now we know!
he and Lars have told so many versions of that story over the years. I don't think even they know the truth anymore. The one thing Lars once said is the one that rings the most true. "We were in our early 20s and the drummer and the guitar player were in charge of the mix, so we just put our faders all the way up"
@@jetydosa1 Understandable.... if they hadnt already produced Masters and Lightning before that. Maybe its because they didnt trust Newstead and let their egos go to their head? Anyway, I think this version is badass. Who knows, maybe Newsteads version did suck? We'll never know unless someone releases his solo tracks.
speaking of which though, to come up with an album as epic as this while still grieving Cliff. I don't know who all the rest of you are, but dealing with a loss like that and then to come up with am album this amazing ?
Im from FR, Dyer's Eve's my prefered one ! And definitly thinking that Lars cant dislike it 500 times ! Metallica will be engraved in al our memories, from france to japan, to america, to austrtalia ... metal is metal, metal with shinny cover is just a human mistake and 1st kind of bullshit !
had youtube on autoplay on a random tab went out-came back sitting around doing work, when all of a sudden i was asking myself "why the hell do I hear the bass on justice for all...?" turned on the tab WOW dude good job!
@@Maltz007 The F%#! are you talking about?! Newsted joined Metallica 2 MONTHS after Cliff died. There was NOTHING of AJFA recorded. They started AJFA in early 1988. Jason recorded EVERY SINLGE track of AJFA. DF.
The story goes that when Jason landed in almighty Voivod. They started playing and they told him: dude raise up the volume of your bass we want to hear you too. Jason then cried of joy... LOL
Up to now I really can't understand why Lars and James let this happen. It could have been the greatest metal record for me if only they mixed it properly. They could still re-release it with this level of audible bass. Sigh....
They hated jason for being a fan (james said in many interview he sometimes had to turn the other way so jason wouldn't copy what he was playing on guitar) and the fact they were still coping with cliff's death.

I love how much bassists get shit on for being unnecessary, then there's videos like this that show how important of an instrument it is
The bass seems like it gets in the way now. Maybe if it was dialed down a little so it sits behind the guitars. Or maybe I'm so used to how little bass there is in these songs that it's all I can hear now, lol.

Lars snorted the master tapes or something like that
If they remixed the LP would sell all over again. Platinum, double platinum...triple?
James has been in rehab more than once. They teach you to accept your mistakes and move forward. James has accepted the mistake but does not want to fix it. Lars will never admit when he is wrong. Same with St Anger. There is a good album in there if they fixed up a few things. You would also need to fix the lyrics, which are actually the worst part of the album, IMO. I have heard a good version of St Anger. It is pretty good despite the crappy lyrics.
Everyone forgets Jason was the one that created the main riff of blackened....on bass

"...And Justice for Jason".
Everyone knows Metallica only has the bassist for live purposes, James and Lars don't think anyone can truly replace Cliff Burton. That's why they mix the bass out of every album after Master of Puppets.
@@kylegoodman5196 You can hear the bass in every album after and justice for all. The story behind this album is about Lars complaining about his drum sound when the bass was playing. That's why he told the producer to turn the volume of the bass down in the mix, and that's why there is no bass on that album.
ThrashingBasskill ...And Justice For Freddy.
@@kylegoodman5196 They mix the bass out of every album after puppets? That's f ucking lie.
Why didn't they mix the album like most of the bands do nowadays?
Left:guitar 1
Right:guitar 2
Center:solo
Center:vocal(louder than drums)
Center:drums(loud)
And by last u put the bass behind the guitars loud enough to be listen(like megadeth does)
That would be a good way......
I think he gave this album new life.
Yeah
Without a doubt! The album finally has angry sounding bass bass lines where once there were none. Jason should be allowed to record Jason's Justice and professionally mix, master and press it. He did contribute to the writing off this album and was robbed of his parts. He even wrote the epic main riff for Blackened. At least they gave him a writing nod before removing his instrument from the songs mix..
He made it better by simply turning up the bass. Jason is a badass Bass player and backing vocalist. People don't know how much Jason was singing on those albums. They think it's James but nope. It was Jason. Metallica did him dirty.
Jason was lucky to be in Metallica they made him famous, he was a fanboy@@satevo462
@@satevo462 James and Jason together...EPIC! Seek and Destroy!!!! Fire!!!!
I listened to other remasters claiming to enhance bass.
This one actually delivers and doesn't overdo it, it's just right.
Agreed. Very nice.
I'm the production director at THE rock station in Phoenix and I'm seriously considering pulling the audio from these masterpieces and loading them into every AJFA track we have in the system. I mean, just WOW! You know what? Fuck it, I'm doing it.......
DO IT. DO IT. DO IT.
Dew it.
I'll watch your carreer with great interest.

It's unlikely that Lars and Hetfield would be able to hear the difference, and it's likely that their attorneys wouldn't hear the difference either. Everyone else would be *very* thankful.
good on you Paul
I think Lars was simply trying to kick Jason down
If Lars only realized how bass guitar actually makes his drums sound better!
So true. Bass is the glue that holds a rock song together
makes them sound better? Drowns them out. SAME THING
@@danielhoward8354 drums and bass should compliment each other. The entire band benefits, as do we.
@@zekieosun2764 They SHOULD. Have you ever noticed the bass player in Metallica has always been the most talented person in the group? Hard for Lars to keep up with.

The one thing I love about this is that it was mixed very well. Most of the “And Justice for Jason” versions make the bass louder than the guitar. Metallica is a guitar oriented band and I’m glad this was mixed in such a way that the guitars still shine while the bass is supporting the Rhythm Guitar with the drums
well, the bass is pretty loud dude. But WGAF really, this guy is a beast, total beast on this.
@@user-yk4gd1fl4z the bass is pretty loud but that's what it lacked in the original album
@@TingTong2568 this is true, but still, as the OP pointed out, u don't want the bass louder than the guitar. That is what we have here. Regardless of decibel measure, the bass sounds more prominent than the guitar. If the bass was cut by close to half (at least a third) , imo that would keep the feel of the album, while still including audible bass - to fill in the low freqs, not dominate.
@@MrSimondaniel3I'm listening through phone speakers right now, and it's perfect.
I remember listening to it through good headphones, the bass was definitely more prominent. However, it stole no space from the guitars. It just filled the niche that was empty.
This mix is very close to the levels heard on Kill 'em All - and I love it!
And to think there are idiots that say bass is not important.
It gives the songs so much power.
No bass=no metal
You don't always notice when it's there, but you DEFINITELY notice when it isn't there.
Kusan X As long as someone isn’t expecting thrash metal bass to sound like Kool and The Gang, it’s pretty important.
Bass is a glorified instrument that serves no purpose ;)

@@RolloTonéBrownTown Specifically for brave men that fight hard for America!
@@sledge2105 Correct. Thank you
As a bass player I’ve searched far and wide for a tone that complimented this album. Jason’s tone was subpar, so all the other videos with boosted bass sound bad but loud 😂 this dude found a great complementary tone for the already existing album and added a new voice to an already dope album. This is my favorite version of this concept yet. Heck yes.
It could have been better actually. Listen to The Years of Decay. That even more focused midrange tone works even better.
This becomes a whole different album when bass is added
Totally... so much more dimension
Not to mention the finger use instead of picking it (less attack...old cliff's style, it brings back memories)
Not really. I don’t believe so
It's not the bass or really even Jason. It wasn't Cliff's tone, weren't his lines. And because that was the standard, in some places the added bass is amazing--but given where they had been as a band and where they were, some of it is so 'not Cliff' that it genuinely doesn't work. After listening to this, I think that during the original mix, they couldn't back it off the bass in the bad parts and push up in the good parts. That would be too uneven, so they backed out of the bass altogether.
Actually Metallica should pay you for improving their album👌👍
pokdam hensem I don’t think it was quite James fault, maybe a bit. The mixer said Lars wanted to tune his drums his way, and then he tuned the bass down
Really!! For Sure
Very nice album

@@CTCAC2000 do you plug your bass ... joke
Dude - I’ve had a few rough weeks at work and with my special needs son. Justice is one of my favorite albums, so thank you for making this so I can listen while I work ;)
Damn, this is killer. The tone is absolutely great and the bass is loud enough to be clear and audible but quiet enough to feel balanced in the mix.
It's great, I agree, but I'm just listening to Blackened right now and the bass is really really loud. Overkill in the other direction. It works since bass is the focus of the video, but I wouldn't consider this to be a balanced mix. No offense at all to the author's work, it's fucking awesome.
VoidSurf While not studio level production, the tone and volume are much better than several other ...And Justice for Jason style videos.
@@amaze2n It's probably as good as you are going to get from a post recording track laid on top of a full mix with no bass. Unfortunately we will never know how this album could have truly sounded. The recording engineer did an interview stating that even if Metallica tried to remaster the album with the bass lines intact it wouldn't be feasible because the original tapes had so many splices done during the mastering that they are probably shredded and decayed at this point. All we can do is listen to this and use our imagination to form our own perfect mix in our head.
Honestly it's more punk rock than metal but I like it that way. Metal values guitar over bass guitar. The bass is too present for a metal mix. I like it but just calling it how it is. Injustice was overkill though. Metal like bass but not bass guitar.
@@whiskerbiscuit6674 i don't agree that the metal sound is guitarrs over bass. Take the old Pantera albums for example. You can hear the bass really well and it sounds metal as fuck!

Perfect assessment you would have thought when they got inducted into the rock and roll HOF they would have re-released this Album as a thumbs up to Jason for his years of service but this is MUCH better my Bose sound system never sounded so good! Bartender another glass of Cognac Neat!
jason wrote blackened, imagine getting left off your own creation. Such a kickass song too
he wasn't left off the album they explained that they not long got off a tour and they had difficulty hearing the guitars and stiff so they kept on turning up the highs and mids in the mix and it eventually drowned out the bass
What rubbish. Lars is a petty little man and so had to make sure that nothing got in the way of his shitty drumming.
@@beefcake1973aus Little shit human being, drummer or anything else, but for sure without him and his music feeling while writing pieces there wouldn't be Metallica this much legendary. There wouldn't be Metallica band at all just cuz he stolen band name and he literally owns it now. Law is on his side. BTW he's spending most of his work time doing bussines things being simply Metallicas manager.
Metallica equals Lars plus Het whether you like it or not man.
BTW
Metal up your ass friends \m/
he didn't write the whole song it was just the main riff, he just showed it to james and he liked it
Cliff also got left off.No way J and L wrote any of this. They just tried to go back to heavy, and its sounds like a 13 year old garage band. Mustaine, and Burton were Metallica
THIS is how the album should have been set up to sound. Bass guitar makes music sound even more powerful and sophisticated. Bass is essential for the entire feeling. We need that thunder.
The best part about this is that you didn't over-correct and boost the living hell out of the bass in the mix. It's fits nicely in the mix without overpowering everything else. Nice work.
YESSSS! i love it too
I agree for the most part. The playing is excellent and is at the right level, but I'm not sure we'll ever know what tone was there before it all got cut out. This tone sounds a bit modern compared to the rest of the album. Jason would've used the pick as well but kudos on going the finger route. Sounds awesome.
Yeah that's exactly what I thought it was gonna sound like but hes balanced the sound nicely
Exactly right!
Exactly what I was gonna comment. So glad someone else noticed it!

When I listen to Metallica, so do the neighbors.
The band lost their first bassist and then took their grief out on Jason, to the point that they even left him off the album. It's a shame, but listening to is now with bass is a real pleasure.
Fantástico!!!!
this would work in a much better way if they recorded this album before hiring Jason. album with no bass in memory of Cliff

Very true. As an example, it is why all of my stereos, computers' audio, and car audio systems all have subwoofers complimenting their speakers.
I like how the bass isn't exaggerated, like some of these that I've seen. Just plopped right into the mix nicely, where you can hear the bass good, but not overpowering. Good job, guys.
That's the problem with a lot of these youtube justice remixes. Very few know how to nail the bass frequencies. But this dude gets it.
I think I know what video (or at least one of the videos) you're referring to. This guy does a great job with his bass at serving the songs without showing off. Don't get me wrong, playing along this album the way he does is not an easy task by any means. I'm impressed and thankful for this piece of work.
I agree. This sounds like Metallica, unlike the original record or many of the re-mixes.
I'd flat out disagree, my first time ever listening to this remix the bass sounded like it was Kill 'Em All, because it's so weird hearing it, ones mind exaggerates the volume of it. Upon further listening though yeah it sounds spot on, not as beefy as Kill, probably the same volume as Hardwired(a little louder) in the total mix. Perfect!
It's just a little too present, but this is how the album should sound like!

If I remember correctly, the original masters don't exist anymore. So there is no way they could do a remaster from the original tapes. They can only remix the songs that are complete. That is why the not too recent AJFA boxset still didn't have any bass.
yes , yes ...
@@AWG59 The solution which would have been cool would have been to get the unmastered final mixes (which do exist) and get Jason to re record his parts. Mix the re recorded bass in with the unmastered mixes, then get it mastered.

If Metallica was being honest they'd remix this album with Jason's part brought back up where it belongs and re-release it.
Rush did it with Vapor Trails. Just own up and do the right thing. For both the fans and for Jason.
Yes, Yes, Yes

I believe the master tracks were either lost or damaged with the muddiness of the original. There's a video interview floating around with one of the mixers. Said the album was done and was amazing, then "someone" altered the alb before it went to print.
@@aperry383 yeah I heard the guy who did it might have been a litigious Danish tennis player, but that's just a rumour.

Truly this is better than the original! Is it Just me or are Metallica bass players just for show? With the exception of Cliff of course.
Their sound is already great, this makes it better and more complete. I honestly didn’t care too much until hearing this video. I’ve heard other attempts to increase the bass and they were just underwhelming.
This makes me wonder how many bad ass Flea or Les Claypool moments Metallica and us fans have missed.
Absolutely!! Great bass player!!!!
My forearm hurts just watching his fingers go on Dyers
Also some respect for Jason Newsted for the fact he was so stoked to join and help Metallica at a time of need and they ALL treated him like crap and hugely disrespectfully and basically punished him for not being Cliff.. That really put me off those guys, really sh!tty true natures they have to do that to a guy for years..
Anyone any ideas on how to get my songs better known? They are chilled accoustic songs about life.. But very hard to get views.. Would appreciate any advice.. "(The) Monumental (You)" is maybe most apt for anyone who likes Metallica, but it's accoustic guitar on it!

Yes indeedy. The bass is the backbone of the band, not the ornaments and glittery things.

@@BeardyGit89 Nah dawg, this is nearly perfectly mixed, you should be able to hear the real tone of the bass at slightly lower effective loudness as the drum kick, not just the sub notes coming through at the end of a verse like 99% of 'professionally' produced metal likes to do. Modern mixing and mastering standards are frankly rubbish and do metal no favours.
@@MisterMosfet you're basically agreeing with me there...
@@BeardyGit89 Bassist & mixing tech here.
This is properly mixed, just not perfect. The other instruments are fully audible still and not obscured.
One complication is that this guy does not have access to the original tracks for AJFA, so he can't really do much to mix it aside from turning down the original track's bass and adding his own.
It's not bad, it's just not perfect.
Personally, I love it.
I left a comment a while back but when I revisit this video, I’m just blown away. This is the only way to listen to And justice for all Because it makes the album perfect.

Thank you for this. Thank you so much. This just makes this album stand out so much more than I did before.
When a man lies he murders some part of the world. Having left aside bass on this epic masterpiece of 20th century Is a big lie to Cliff Burton in first place and to art. You made me cry man reminding me my youth with a wonderful version that will replace the original I have listened to more than 300 times in the last 36 years. Respect

It's because he's not just fiddling with a mixing board, he's physically re-adding the bass that was mixed out, that's why it sounds so amazing.

u can barely hear cliff's bass on the first 3 albums so yeah
Lol if you are trolling people
Maybe Cliff would like much more if there was some overdrive in this bass
@@lucashenriquesalatamenezes4560 On the original bass tracks (at least in One) the bass has a bit of overdrive to make it crunch
Jason Played bass on this Album, not Cliff
Everybody just talking about how the album sounds better, but I'm not seeing anyone talking about your playing: precise, effortless and full of feeling. A tour the force with finesse. Incredible job.
So damn tight!!
He's a fucking legend. His finger work is masterful. (That's what she said..)
You could tell he really liked "Shortest Straw." Excellent job.
Even Lars' drumming improves!
kek
Lars' drumming in this album is amazing
@@Luiz48000 His playing is great but I think the lack of low end hurts his sound as well. The bass drums sound "clicky"; there's no "thump" to them all.
Lars's drumming was down pat on this album
It never was bad
When this album first came out, picked it up same day and listened to it and took it back to the store because I thought I got a 'bad' cut. I told the guy at the store that it was definitely missing low end, couldn't hear the bass, etc...something was wrong. We played it at the store and he was like yeah! Something is screwed up. He grabbed another album, and low and behold....there was something screwed up, and his name is Lars, and he ruined an entire album on his own. :)
it was also james' idea, not only lars' .______.
but yeah i agree
bullshit
Lars ruined all of their albums 😀
@@FinikuxI also agree, but how I understood the situation, Lars and James kept turning up the guitars and drums... And ignored the bass. I don't believe to was their intention to spite Jason.
@Finikux no it was Lars, James just went with it. Everyone was against it from the engineers to producers. Lars was sick a coward he didn't even tell Jason.
Thank you for making my favorite album of all time even better.
BTW...
Lars crappy drum tone actually sounds pretty good when bass is mixed in.
This man is one of the best players I have ever seen, period. People watching who don't play bass have no idea how insanely difficult it is to play this material _accurately_ and _consistently_, and with fingers, no less.
Without fingers i think any instrument would be hard.
@@Absolutely_puck_fakestine My crows are on the way to gouge your eyes out.
I play guitar and I understand perfectly how finger work seals the deal on bass. Guy is top tier.
Hell yeah dude, I often list Josh DuBois as my favourite criminally unknown/underrated bassist I know of just for these Metallica covers.
and the sweet tone to go with it!🤙🏻
Ok, this is the Official album. Thank you!
Tone, Playing, Presentation, this video is literally fucking perfection. From one Metallica fan and bass player to another, you're fucking incredible!
Amazing. This dude’s got SKILLS!
@Julie Miller They've been releasing remasters of each of their early albums, but they refuse to fix the bass because "it is what it is and we don't want to rewrite history" or some bullshit. As if by remastering it they'll delete the original mix off the face of the Earth and fans who liked it won't be able to listen to it ever again. I don't get it, it's stupid, but that's what James said.
From another Metallica fan since 89... Abso-fúckïng-lutly agree... This is awesome
totally agree, what a monsta, and sorry to say he sound way better than Jason, can't beat playing with fingers on a Bass, just ask Cliff
I still come back here to listen to the first half of One. That tone pulls everything together.
Shows exactly why fans always wanted justice for Jason Newsted. Great job by Josh DuBois and everyone involved in making this. To my ears It's certainly a enhancement to an already great album.
Yeah the bass writing is top notch. We missed it for too long.
100% agree👍!!
Big great album from Metallica! But Josh make it greater😊...
@@thmp3rthe dyers Eve bass part is astoundingly good writing
Most people don't even realize Jason wrote a ton of great guitar riffs on this album, and not just Kirk.
Wrong, Jason plays with a pick, and it wouldn't have sounded as cool....
Sweet, I'll check this out for a second
...And I've listened to the entire album.
Literally me right now 😂
I know! I'm trying to get things done, but...
..same same..
Middle 2021 and here I am.
same here
Justice Served for Jason🔥❤️
JUSTICE FOR ALL
True justice for Jason would be for them to hire a mix engineer that isn’t a yes man to remix de album from the source material
Jason was a jackass
Because Jason was always so honest, I guess he just never believed that he had the right to tell Lars to go and pull his narsocisstical egomaniac head in and go and get phucked.
@@GiovanniAgostini-xt4qf Jason was a fan in the band as they said. He used to pick on the Metallica guys and then he played the victim.
....and bass-line tracks dubbed in for all.
My favorite part so far is in the beginning of the song, the camera man is shooting scenes of the bass Amp company logo, of the speaker cab microphone rigged & the control panel on the ampi itself , that eerily reminiscent of how the band's silhouette were while those very same bars were played for the original MTV Video.
Fucking Excellent & very classy nod to the cinematographer who was tasked with shooting the Mighty Metallica's very first "For MTV Video z. He definitely employed a little bit of that 'ol camera magic & the guy filming the highlight of what my Friday Nights have become over the years.... anyways. This guy not only knew how to recognize these atmosphere altering, onte-time trade secret, Camera-man tricks ... but he just proved that he also knows how to use rhem!
This is not only perfectly played, it's also so well mixed that I'm pretty sure this video will forever be the way I'll listen to this great album from now on.
Right!!🤘🎸
I actually thought that too. Like, why listen to it without this bass in it now? This is TOO GOOD!
Honestly, hearing this album like this feels so much like hearing it for the first time again that, if this was officially released, I'd buy it without a second thought and then I'd play the s*** out of it just like I did when I discovered it. Then I'd frame the original vinyl, just for historical value, and never listen to it again.
I agree,this is the right way to listen to
It indeed gives a groovy and powerful flavour to all the melodic lines. Amazing!!!
Is it just me, or this is better than original? I don't know what's going on, the audio is wondeful, even though it's on YT. And that bass is just perfect, it cannot be played any slightly better, it's just pure perfection. And I'm not a bass fan, never really cared about lack of it on the original. Now this is my favourite way to listen to AJFA, this video.
Bass is truly an essential backbone. Surely you can make a pretty good album without a bass, but when you've got one, it's just a little more smooth.
Absolutely agree with you...👌🤘🤘🤘
This version is better :)
Yeah when I first listened to the album I thought it sounded very dry due to the lack of bass but after listening to this version I can't listen to the original mix it's a shame that the remastered version has not done Jason justice and put his bass back in the mix this version has good bass tone and isn't too loud in the mix one gripe I have is that Josh was playing fingerstyle compared to Jason's playing where he used a pick which gives more attack but it doesn't affect the bass enough for me not to like it.
Off course is better. It has Bass now.
I legit stopped listening to the original album and just listen to this mix now, in it's entirety always. Because god damn does having an audible bass change how the songs are. SO much better.
I have been listening to this for 3 years by now, had to make a comment that this really is a treasure for us music lovers. So well made, as it should have been. A must on your own music playlist!
As great as this album was, listen to how much better it could have been.
It's better how it was lol
@@jeffnobles9251 yeah, lol indeed. I don't think you are being serious but if you are, that would have me rotflmao.
@@imvandenh what's wrong with no bass ?
Right? I mean, let's have countless hours of auditions, get a seasoned metal bassist, that also had great backing vocals and then drop the bass off the mix. Maybe the bass was interfering with the drums in the mix?
@@ganglu maybe lars had bad hearing
Back in 1987-88, they were still young , getting rich, egos growing, and badly damaged. This album perfectly represents where they were in their lives at that time. They were imperfect and damaged and this album perfectly captures that. That’s what art is right, a representation of where you were at a certain time period.
Garage Days...
ok but at least make it sound good lol
or Lars being a nob.
@@rleriche5044 Like I said…. getting rich at a young age, ego getting big, damaged because of Cliffs death. Lars couldn’t handle the money and fame well and was too emotionally immature to handle that and Cliff too.
More like a band fueled on alcohol and cocaine and still grieving the loss of their bass player - Garage days had bass so Newstead assumed he'd be covered in the AJFA mixes haha!
Crazy how much better it sounds with the bass not being drowned out.
forreal, i just don't see why lars wanted the bass to be muted, the drumming still sounds great
@Logan Because he cannot tolerate the possibility of someone being better than he or James at anything.
@@lomobster Lars even went up to the engineer who mixed it WITH him in the room during their induction to the Hall of Fame and he asked 'what happened to the bass?' And he almost slugged Lars right there
Too high in the mix. Needs to come down a bit for sure.
@@lomobster because it sounded cool in the boom boxes we had in the 89s and cassettes
I feel now is if all my life I’ve been listening to this album through cheap Chinese earphones, and suddenly I bought proper monitors and I’m discovering it again.
The only thing better than listening through a masterpiece album is watching someone so proficient who plays the missing bass with the kind of passion evident in the video. I did not expect to sit through the whole album playthough...but here I am hahaha
RIGHT?! Man, I've heard versions with the bass "mixed back in", but this is a step above and beyond! He is re-adding an element that was stolen and taken out, and as you say, doing it with a passion and proficiency that is suberb. I expected to just "check this out" for a minute, and now I'm like halfway through!
I agree. I found this fascinating and very well done. It was cool to see his face and how much he was enjoying himself.
Yes so true.
I remember there was an asian fella on UA-cam years ago who could play any Hendrix song you want to name note-for-note BUT WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF PASSION.
This video was an pleasent surprise for me as a relatively new fan of Metallica, the whole AJFA bass thing is a lot bigger issue than I thought lmao.
There are many videos dedicated to fixing the Bass in AJFA, but few with this sort of love and passion!
Chris Laib same... now I know why I never cared for Jason and loved Burton... because of Lars!
This is now the way to hear it. An animal that has seen beyond the walls will be harder to put back behind them.
And Jason for All! I totally disagree with Hetfield's reason why they dropped the bass - because it competed with his guitar low end. The bass adds more low end, but on a different spectrum. The original mix always sounded thin to me, where as this mix was like adding flour to runny gravy. Thank you so much for sharing this project with the world as millions of old Metallica fans always wondered "what if...". Now we know!
and it also recorded and mix on 16 pist thats why it's sound like garbage
he and Lars have told so many versions of that story over the years. I don't think even they know the truth anymore. The one thing Lars once said is the one that rings the most true. "We were in our early 20s and the drummer and the guitar player were in charge of the mix, so we just put our faders all the way up"
@@jetydosa1 Understandable.... if they hadnt already produced Masters and Lightning before that. Maybe its because they didnt trust Newstead and let their egos go to their head? Anyway, I think this version is badass. Who knows, maybe Newsteads version did suck? We'll never know unless someone releases his solo tracks.
Seeing as this is from the producer who has no stake in the thing anymore I take this as the real story: ua-cam.com/video/lmFgeFh2nlw/v-deo.html
The EQ on the entire mix is thin and lacks any low end so that is a lie. The bass makes the drums sound thin and equalized like crap.
The little pick flick at the beginning of Dyers Eve 👌🏼
SO true! The attitude about it. RIP Cliff
speaking of which though, to come up with an album as epic as this while still grieving Cliff. I don't know who all the rest of you are, but dealing with a loss like that and then to come up with am album this amazing ?
Im from FR, Dyer's Eve's my prefered one ! And definitly thinking that Lars cant dislike it 500 times ! Metallica will be engraved in al our memories, from france to japan, to america, to austrtalia ... metal is metal, metal with shinny cover is just a human mistake and 1st kind of bullshit !
@@rustoroid Not to be a spoil sport, but Cliff had very little to do with Dyers Eve.
@@rustoroid no disrespect but what’s that got to do with Cliff
had youtube on autoplay on a random tab
went out-came back
sitting around doing work, when all of a sudden i was asking myself "why the hell do I hear the bass on justice for all...?"
turned on the tab
WOW dude good job!
This is incredible, The difference is literally day and night. Jason got the shaft!
Jason is not the one playing in most of the song in this album only a few
most of them were already recorded when he join
@@Maltz007 The F%#! are you talking about?!
Newsted joined Metallica 2 MONTHS after Cliff died. There was NOTHING of AJFA recorded. They started AJFA in early 1988.
Jason recorded EVERY SINLGE track of AJFA.
DF.
What's messed up is how much even Jason defends the sound, he's said in videos it sounded exactly how they wanted.
@@Maltz007 your crazy 🤪
@@EvilSSP he only defends it because he wants to remain cordial with those guys for the remaining years
The story goes that when Jason landed in almighty Voivod. They started playing and they told him: dude raise up the volume of your bass we want to hear you too. Jason then cried of joy... LOL
jerkorulez “Almighty” ha.
@@t.4753 hell yeah almighty. What band are you in thats superior, I'll give it a listen
Up to now I really can't understand why Lars and James let this happen. It could have been the greatest metal record for me if only they mixed it properly. They could still re-release it with this level of audible bass. Sigh....
True, although there's a bass mix online called and justice for Jason
They hated jason for being a fan (james said in many interview he sometimes had to turn the other way so jason wouldn't copy what he was playing on guitar) and the fact they were still coping with cliff's death.
@@AgentLemmon I’m not sure you can call that a “mix”. I think it’s just someone playing over the original record.
@Swanky K Entertainment that snare tone has aged about as well as his mullet, lol
It needs no bass. It's fine the way it is.
I wasnt expecting someone to actually be playing bass along with the album. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised
