The "Black album" was the death knell for Metallica. I still say, Cliff Burton doesn't die, the Black Album doesn't get made...
Fair point. I never thought Jason Newstead would go along with that. His background was pretty far from that type of thing.
Newsted was picked on without mercy. For the first 5 years, that kid was in Metallica, they were such a$$hole$, they tried to make him quit.
Newstead was the original bassist for Flotsam&Jetsam. Great stuff.
