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.

[redstar]

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.

[MrTimjm]

And then over time they took everything out on him. He was an amazing asset to come along when he did

[lawrencerinehart]

In Retrospect...Unfortunately Jason Wasn't Allowed To Be Jason As Cliff Was Allowed To Be Cliff.

[debbiemendoza]

Cliff will always be in our hearts forever & i believe he's spirit is always guiding Metallica 🌹

[TheRemulosEpsolonProgramme]

Jason will always be Metallica's best live bassist. He was the whole package despite not being as technical as Cliff.

[andresaagg]

All that in just 2 weeks? That's painful

[jonathansfv]

Some people didn’t even plug in their instrument James instantly said next just because of the way they looked

[shawnpatrick]

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.😢

[Bfair]

I love Kirk, he rocks it! I think Jason is good too, he is the one who left the band.

[elisabethlewis]

& Kirk has grown into such a lovely guy.

[whamsie]

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.

[warrengauthier]

"Some of them came in high to the audition..."

I never knew Mustaine tried out for bass. 😂

[RatBotEins]

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.

[u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines]

U feel for him them back then. Been fan since 84 Here to end of Metallica Opus of music

[michaelr.]

Jason was awesome for the band. But I still they should have gone with Terry Bollea.

[ethanbarc]

Jason Newsted was in Metallica from 1986 to 2001

[shamidimidi]

"he focking left the band" - Lars

[davidlane]

They should've never let Jason go.

[ethanbarc]

To live is to die it’s a song By Metallica and the song was written as a tribute to the Bands Bassist Cliff Burton who was killed in the tragic tour bus accident in 1986.
