Metallica To Reunite With Former Bassist For Rock Hall Induction

Metallica's former bassist Jason Newsted will reportedly join Metallica on stage when the veteran rock band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month.

The band, who will be inducted by Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, said that they were inspired to reunite with their estranged bassist, who left the band in 2001, largely due to awkwardness they witnessed when Blondie were inducted in 2006.

"Jason Newsted will be there, and he will be playing with us at one point," guitarist Kirk Hammett said. "We went as a band when Black Sabbath was being inducted, and at that time Blondie was also being inducted that night. And there was so many politics and so much drama that, you know, we collectively said to each other, 'We don't want any of that,' because it kind of, it puts a really bad, sour note on the whole celebration itself."

The band are also expected to perform at the ceremony, which takes place in Cleveland on April 4, reports Blabbermouth. Metallica's current bassist, Robert Trujillo, is also expected to attend the ceremony.

Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

Did we just FORGET about Cliff?!?!?!

They should at least honor him! I mean, Jason "FUCKING LEFT THE FUCKING BAND" as Lars said! Cliff put his blood, sweat, and tear into that music!

[mlukeroberts222]

Maybe we could get a bass war between Trujillo and Newsted!!

Dude.... Obviously you haven't been paying attention. Cliff's been dead for 25 years. What the **** are they supposed to do? Exhume his (half) body and re-animate him so they can play 'Bells? And while you're at it, what about Dave and Ron. You failed to mention them even.

Come to think of it.... what the hell did happen to Ron.

I remember reading that everyone who was in the band when an album came out will be invited to attend (ie, that's why Mustaine wasn't invited).
I'm sure they will mention Cliff during their acceptance speech.

[prattle128]

i think that that's good of them to give everyone who put something into their music the credit they deserve.

[rockpwns92]

whats with the blondie thing. What happened when they got inducted?

[whatshisname]

^^^ yeah, but thats a kick in the teeth for trujillo... as someone said newstead just upped and left. Its like watching your gf hump an ex of hers on his birthday.. or something to that effect.

Where's the credit for Ron McGoveney?????

Are they just gonna forget him!!!????

[sycodudeguy]

I like Jason Newsted. I'll be real excited to see them play again.

[SGibson666]

Agreed with Mattejo. Jason deserves recognition. And in an interview he said he left the band because they became too different.

uh, are you retarded? no sh*t he's not alive, that's what dimeshadow was gettin at, though he's dead his memory should be honored. geez, where's your compassion for a fallen comrade musician?

"CLIFF

why don't you go spit on his grave too?

anyway dimshadow, i'm sure they'll set aside some good time to honor his memory, if they don't i'll never support metallica again.

that's all speculation as far as who's better, but i don't believe it was so much jason's attitude as it was the way the rest of tallica treated him

[brantley23]

i agree with some of the others. cliff will most definitely be honored in some way. as they talked about in "Some Kind Of Monster" Cliff will always be their bassist no matter what happens. I can't make a claim as to who is better jason or rob but rob has got speed with those fingers and a badass swagger

[marcelaguiar]

Poor Trujillo. In my opinion, Robert had way more style than Jason.

[Oujou]

Aw, I thought there was some weird ass Necromancy going on and they brought Cliff back.

What happened with the Blondie situation that was mentioned?

WTF!!!!! jason that wasn't really integral is getting an honor call but MUSTAINE THAT MADE THEM WHO THEY ARE ISN'T GETTING AS MUCH AS A PHONE CALL? WTF?!?!?

They invited Jason and he will playing with them??

They personally invited Dave Mustaine to attend as well... hmm...

we all miss what jason's voice did for the live performances, but rob's such a better player. no question

yeah mustaine posted about it. they personally invited him to attend the ceremony even though he wouldnt be inducted. he politely declined due to megadeaths tour with judas priest in europe. He went on to say he is proud of the accomplishments of metallica and is proud of them being inducted..so it seems like everyone is now at least...on a mutual respect for each other..maybe this could lead to a metallica megadeath tour or something? idk...but its nice to see them not trashing each other

[Phoenix117UK]

Thats so awesome, it's going to be really strange to see Jason playing with Metallica again, but I can't wait to see it

[JahCohBee]

Why are people up in arms about Jason playing? I mean he played for SIX albums (if you include garage and S&M) toured with them for YEARS... He's kinda a big part of MetallicA whether we like it or not...

[k3vin70]

Sweeeeet
jason back for one more time
nice.....I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Metallica forever....

[thetonto]

so does anyone actually know what politics and drama went on when Blondie was inducted?

[thbeekk]

Still blows my mind that Metallica are as popular as they are. They are truly a testament to the idea that talent only gets you so far and that being in the right place at the right time can take you to the top.

[CapnKickass]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I heard that they invited Mustaine who said he will be busy with the new album anyway. Lol Zoidberg.

The Big 4 tour!!!!! Great Dave and Metallica are finally getting along (kinda) even though Dave still talks crap about kirk.

[cuscus97]

he only played on one good album...and you couldn't even hear him on it. AJFA. The black album is also good, and does to be fair feature a bit more of Jason, but nonetheless it's not thrashy enough. Load, Reload & S&M are totally forgettable.

[Gargantuan]

Ron left when Mustaine poured a whole can of beer on Ron's bass.

[Lchoke]

Its good that they do this after all he wsa in metallica longer then rob and even cliff don't take that wrong cliff is god but u no wat I mean

and he get NO CREDIT he fuled metallica

[Yoorai]

Nobody cares about Mustaine. And why do you always have to think about Cliff? I mean, he was great bass player but he's gone. He won't return, so just live in a nowhere and dont think about parallel reality. Life goes on, so we gotta enjoy what we got!

ok he got writing credits on songs and only wrote a few riffs in kill em all, and a few riffs on ride the lighting and a few on call of ktulu he didnt write anything past that. And a rumour i heard was that kirk wrote the ride the lighting solo and that dave got writing credits for some of the riffs even the demo for it had kirk on it. The only thing dave appeared on was no life till leather and RTL was not on it.

How was Jason not an integral part of Metallica? How many albums was he a part of? For f's sake, after cliff died (r.i.p.) he came in and was a HUGE part of metallica until he left. What I dont' get is why ppl are passing judgement on nothing that they actually know about. Not one of us was there when they decided to go seperate ways so no one can judge him or anyone else in Metallica. Give it a break. I think it's great Jason will be there and hopefully it goes over smoothly and there are no hard feelings between any of them.

Long live Metallica
(wouldn't it be cool if they decided to get back together with Jason and ditch Rob. I just personally don't like Rob's playing style)

[bloke]

don't forget jason was their bass player from like 1986 till 2001, and seen them through 5 Studio Albums (if you include garage inc) so its fair that he's honoured, i don't think he'd be playing on stage with them if rob had a problem with this, Rob has only recorded one very recent studio album for them and although a great bass player is the "new guy", this award is based on metallica in the last 25 years, it would be wrong to not acknowledge/invite rob, i heard mustaine was invited actually? or was that a rumour, he turned it down on the grounds of he was touring europe at the time??

and c'mon ron hasn't exactly been involved in much of their stuff.. and of course cliff will be honoured, but you know he's dead... its not like they can invite him...

also i would love to see jason play with metallica live! i didn;t really get into them till 2002, so never got the chance, i know it won't happen, but i would have loved to see them, as i would have loved to see them play with cliff..

[2trouble]

Since nobody has addressed it: When Blondie was inducted the band performed with only Debbie H. and one or two original members, while the rest of the original lineup was there and guitarist Infante even asked Debbie while accepting his award if they could perform she said "not tonite" and "cant you see my band is up here." They had been in legal turmoil for some time, but they came across as low class what with bickering onstage. Its good that Metallica is gonna perform with Newstead and is above that petty bickering (I hope) and im sure Rob understands he was given the keys to a kingdom that Burton and Newstead helped create so he shouldnt have a problem with that. And im sure if Cliff was alive and had left the band they would have also brought him back to perform like Jason, unfortunately thats not possible but if they bring Jason back to perform Im sure they will honor Cliff too.

It's always been my impression that Newsted was sort of made to leave because he wanted nothing but music in his life; the others all had lives, he didn't.

I bet Trujillo will have a pissed looked whenever Jason is playing... almost makes it worth watching, ****ing crab bastard.

you should probably go slap yourself a few times, he was obviously making a joke. what? too soon? you probably weren't alive when cliff died, and if you were, you probably didnt even know who he was yet. but on the whole newsted thing I would have left too, they were *******s to him ever since he had joined the band.

[ironmaiden_98]

Jason did play on most of their good albums, i like Trujillo better. When i saw "Some Kind of Monster" it just made Jason look bad to me.
Cliff is God, tho R.I.P.

I doubt we'll be seeing a Deth-Tallica tour. As much as the bands themselves may be over their past issues, face it, the fans would absolutely slaughter each other during that gig. There'd be tons of crap about "which band performed better" and at the end of the day, no one would be happy.

I meant no disrespect it was a joke calm down, u act like i spit in his face, Cliff was a brilliant musician, ive probably been listening to metallica longer than you, and obviously i knew he was dead or why would i have made that joke....some people need to get of their high horse and laugh occasionally

also cliff died in sept of 1986 it was 23 yrs ago this sept....GO SLAP URSELF IN THE FACE ITS DISGRACEFUL YOU DONT KNOW WHEN HE DIED. (sarcasm)

It would be cool if they played two tones

[Calaban007]

From what I've read Jason left the band because he wanted to make music period; and to be in Metallica, you have to be exclusive to Metallica. No side projects or anything because it takes away from Metallica. It'd be different if they'd been recording and touring and stuff, but they weren't and he still couldn't do anything. He got bored and musically frustrated. Add in Lars running around like a bossy little bitch to everyone around I'd probably have beat his ass.

I'd say I think Trujillo is a better bassist than Jason and you can't fault him for join Metallica. Honestly, if you Metallica came and asked you to replace their bassist and you were capable you'd bet there in a heartbeat.

Get your facts right Megadeth fanboy.
Anyway,I like Newstead a lot better than Trudge.I mean the bass in Death Magnetic is just dissapointing.

Newstead should be apart of this, he put just as much of effort and energy in his 14 years with Metallica as the other guys,and he left because James wouldn't let him do his Echobrain project while Metallica was on a break, on that note however, did Sabbath have Dio on stage with them when they were inducted?

Anyways I'm glad that they decided to play it with Jason, he certainly deserves the honour as Metallica is basically being nominated for their pop years, which Jason was in the band for.

I remember reading that everyone who was in the band when an album came out will be invited to attend (ie, that's why Mustaine wasn't invited).
I'm sure they will mention Cliff during their acceptance speech.

I thought the guitar recorded in Kill Em' All was(if not mostly) Mustaine?

They sacked Mustaine before recording Kill 'Em All, literally right before. And apparantly he was invited to come.

So awesome. Mustaine said he was honored to be asked but is wrapping up Priest Feast so cannot make it.

I agree, he was what kept them awesome and they treated him like shit. Newstead singing Whiplash was my respect for metallica. When he finally decided to leave they really started sucking.

The only reason i would want to hear Jason live is for his backing vocals. wait... that's the only thing you can hear anyway.

[Sensivitation]

Trujillo will not perfrom with metallica at the ceremony .. =] I think

[Sylvanus]

Jason Newstead is a beast on bass. Like already said, this is probably the first nice thing they've done for him. They should rerecord Death Magnetic with Jason on bass.

[stratdud39]

i wish metallica weren't such dicks to jason, they practically kicked him out of the band.

It would be really cool if they could get David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen to join them on stage too since they missed their own induction. Seriously, who cares?

[Restlesscow]

Good for Jason. The band gave him a hard time, im glad they have asked him to the stage to accept it and im glad he has accepted.
And why is everyone comparing the bassist for this band..? They are all awesome.
Did anyone see em in Birmingham on the 25th?? EPIC!

I could really care about Rob he doesn't seem to do much but flex and play bass.
All in all Congrats to Metallica.

Dude.... Obviously you haven't been paying attention. Cliff's been dead for 25 years. What the **** are they supposed to do? Exhume his (half) body and re-animate him so they can play 'Bells? And while you're at it, what about Dave and Ron. You failed to mention them even.

Come to think of it.... what the hell did happen to Ron.

I think he sold all his equipment and quit bass. Thats what I heard at least.

WOO I LOVE JASON!!!!!

[areese82]

I never really liked Newsted

[Toaster Pastry]

Rob is a better bassist, but Jason does deserve credit for playing with them for so long.

[Tanooki]

title of article made me think for a second that Cliff dying was just a horrible dream.

[HellrzngPinhead]

One of two things will happen:

1) The band will realize what it was with Jason and tell that frog walking mother****er Trujillo to pack it back to Ozzy.

2) They play, they say a few words, they part.

Or 3) a zombified Cliff Burton takes the stage, eats Rob, rips out Jason's throat, and the band, with Cliff, rips into Creeping Death.

[famefornothing]

jason sucked!

I would love to see/hear both Jason and Rob perform at the same time with the rest of 'Tallica.

Dude this is so cool! He deserves it just as much as they do. he was there through the good and bad.

[PhantomLord231]

So they wont include Cliff or Jason in GH:Metallica because its "disrespectful" to rob, but they'll play with Jason at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction? lame

[Vermintide]

Man, Kirk's always so insightful and deep. I wish I was as sensitive and respectful as that. He should be a relationship counsellor or something.

man im sick of hearing about metallica.

yeah, obviously metallica is known for saying/doing one thing and then saying/doing completely the opposite. like the napster thing? and then this? metallica does not deserve the spotlight anymore. they are too old and their time is done. im not saying bands should quit when theyre old, im saying metallica should. some bands reinvent themselves as they get older but metallica tries to revisit their old shit.

Please Delete my last comment my laptop mouse played up and decided to quote and post that

[lopezmetalmunky]

I think Metallica inviting Jason Newstead to join in their induction is a great thing. Obviously, they wouldn't share their induction with Dave 'cause he's got his own share of good stuff going for him. Megadeth's one of the best bands in the world, as is Metallica.

The only thing I hope doesn't happen is that Trujilo and Newstead team up to do a version of Anestisia(Pulling Teeth) as a momento to Cliff. They would probably mess it up.

[Filip413]

wow pretty hot news, just imagine Jason Newsted enjoyed himself with the reunion thing so much that he asked to be allowed back in the band, that would make for some killer news.

[RyanMetalMatthe]

Cliff WILL be inducted, so everyone needs to calm the hell down about it. I don't think Ron deserves any credit or mention. He didn't have the same passion for the music, so **** him. I know Dave won't be there, but to see him on stage with James... I'd cry my eyes out. Those two mean the world to me. They're my heroes.

UG has a hard-on for Metallica and Guns N' Roses. It's all good because they're my favorite bands anyway hehe. This is strange news, to say the least. I didn't like Jason in Metallica much except for his backup singing which was exceptional. I prefer Rob as a bassist, but you can't hear much of him on Death Magnetic, can you?

I like Metallica.

I don't get the Robert bashing. He was one of those bassists directly influenced by Cliff - listen to alot of his S/T stuff. Jason was a pocket player that just doubles everything James did. He was a solid bass player, but bassists like Cliff was and Robert is are a different breed (besides both being finger-style).

Jason's good and so is Rob but Cliff was the shit! He was the best bassist Metallica ever had in my opinion, and i think a lot of people agree with me. So, like some other people said, they better mention him and give him some well deserved props.

I'm sure they will mention Cliff during their acceptance speech.

Nope. I think Mustaine and Hetfield wrote and composed all the songs. But when it came to record Mustaine got kicked out cuz of his drinking. So when they got Kirk he knew all the material. He was asked to play the first few measures of Dave's solos and then he composed the rest. By the way Hammet is better than Dave,Newstead better than Crab boy(woopwoopwooopwoop) and Cliff is uber ausome(r.i.p)

Since nobody has addressed it: When Blondie was inducted the band performed with only Debbie H. and one or two original members, while the rest of the original lineup was there and guitarist Infante even asked Debbie while accepting his award if they could perform she said "not tonite" and "cant you see my band is up here." They had been in legal turmoil for some time, but they came across as low class what with bickering onstage. Its good that Metallica is gonna perform with Newstead and is above that petty bickering (I hope) and im sure Rob understands he was given the keys to a kingdom that Burton and Newstead helped create so he shouldnt have a problem with that. And im sure if Cliff was alive and had left the band they would have also brought him back to perform like Jason, unfortunately thats not possible but if they bring Jason back to perform Im sure they will honor Cliff too.

ok he got writing credits on songs and only wrote a few riffs in kill em all, and a few riffs on ride the lighting and a few on call of ktulu he didnt write anything past that. And a rumour i heard was that kirk wrote the ride the lighting solo and that dave got writing credits for some of the riffs even the demo for it had kirk on it. The only thing dave appeared on was no life till leather and RTL was not on it.

[edit] Personnel

* James Hetfield – lead vocals, rhythm guitar
* Dave Mustaine – lead guitar, backing vocals
* Ron McGovney – bass guitar
* Lars Ulrich – drums, percussion

Dave contributed a lot more to that first album than he was credited for. Say whatever you want to this I don't really care just making it known.

There appears to be a caps lock issue.

I feel it is completely necessary for Jason to play in the ceremony. Got to remember that he was in the band two or three times longer than any of the other bassists were.

thats ****ing shit
he left the band

the should keep trujilio

1. Is anybody here stupid enough to think they won't mention Cliff? The guys bring his name up constantly in things. Why the **** does dimeshadow seem to think they need to mention cliff, if it's not about him.
2. Mustaine was invited, but he's doing Priest Feast at the moment so he can't. And he deserves to have been invited, because he did have a large input in Metallica's early stuff, and he helped create Thrash
3. I'd love if they have Flea, Newsted and Trujillo play bass on one song.
4. Bring back Ron Mcgoveney!

im sure they are gonna do that at the induction ceremony, but until they get on stage and talk about cliff what do u expect them to do?

Jason does deserve this because he was with the band for about ten years, and put out both and justice and the black album with them, while many fans may not like the black album it is essentially the album that made metallica a household name

Rob did not put out St. Anger he joined after, the only cd hes released with them was death magnetic, and the reason he is doing is becuase he is currently part of the band whether he contributed to their success in the early days or not he is still part of the band right now.

Dave Mustaine helped write most of kill em all and a few songs off ride the lightning, the band still credits him for helping to write call of ktulu, and again he was part of metallica so therefore he got an invite.

im not saying they all 100 percent deserve it but thats why each of them are going, because they all contributed to the band in a major way at some point in the bands career

[devilex121]

shame Mustaine couldnt be honored beside Metallica
i bet Mustaine's cursing under his breath at the thought of metallica getting inducted before megadeth did lol!

[treviswasted]

yeh everyone is on about jason jus walkin out but to be fair he did get treated like absolute shit by the band..
first off they basically have no bass on ..and justice for all, they jus quitened him down and when he walked out later they did regret what they did to him (if anyone has watched some kind of monster)

an about cliff, well what can i say that hasnt already, the man is a ledgend and it was no doubt really hard for jason to follow that but its all over now and times have changed so stop bad mouthing jason and jus move on

plus mustaine isnt coming cause there is a big hatred between him and hetfield, plus i doubt hetfield would have been invited if it was the other way around!

[Xero-P]

Wow!!! Awesome!

this is bullshit **** trujillo and newstead they both sucked

Who gives a flying shit? The bass in Metallica sounds the same from one album to the next. I don't see how reuniting for one show with a bass player is considered "news".

Might as well be called "Whine about Cliff here! - The article".

And there have been better bass players than Cliff. Sad death but the music wasn't amazing.

The Metallica guest list for the April 4 induction includes staffers from the band's previous labels, Megaforce and Elektra, journalists and photographers who have been supportive over the group's career, producers and musician friends. Metallica also invited founding guitarist Dave Mustaine, who is unable to attend, and former bassists Ron McGovney and Jason Newsted, who will. Newsted also plans to perform with Metallica during the ceremony. Ray Burton, father of Cliff Burton, who was Metallica's bassist from 1982 until his death in 1986, will accept on behalf of his son.

Although Newsted was a big part of Metallica industry, I don't agree with him performing alongside 'tallica. He turned his back on the band and didn't give two shits about them. Why should Metallica give a shit about Newsted after that? Jason can perform with Echobrain when they get inducted. XD

Come to think of it.... what the hell did happen to Ron.

He makes a living selling old Metallica merch lol.

Who really knows what happened between Jason and the rest of the band? Its all just a bunch of he said she said BS. Its sounds like they're over it so thats great. I am 100% sure Cliff will be recognized for his role in Metallica. Here is one thing we can all agree on is, that it's about time they have made it to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Congratulations and thanks for all the bad ass music through these years.

Jason joined Metallica and they didn't give two shits about him. That's why he left, the guys of Metallica were always dicks to him. I'm surprised he actually stayed in the band for 14 years.

Imagine that. People talking about Metallica's former bass players on a news article about Metallica's former bass player. Damn what do you want?

Anyway, I'm glad that Metallica had the balls to invite Dave and Jason. Cliff will get his recognition, and so should those two guys.

Dave is better than Kirk. Fuck Kirk. Kirk uses alot of wah to cover for his mistakes. Joe Satriani even said Kirk was his worst student. If Dave would've stayed then Metallica probably wouldn't have changed so dramatically over the years. Don't get me wrong though, I love Metallica. Just Kirk isn't my favorite, though he's done good on the albums, just not live. But it's about time they were inducted. They've been together like 30 years.

i craped my pants for two minutes because i was in some ****ed up mindset that cliff did not die and he was guna be on stage with them. then i tossed that crap at my screen realizeing it was newsteads corny self goin to be there. truj is better than newstead anyday. hell id compare him to cliff if i didnt know for a fact cliff is playing bass for gods band right now.

Ummmm ok?? Lets see Dave mustaine play the solo from Hanger 18 without mistakes, seeing as how he doesnt play the complex parts of the solo, he just shreds the pentatonics box and does a few high E bends....it was Friedman but nice try...Anyway its getting old having people say Mustaine made Metallica what they are...if Dave was still in the band we would have seem some legendary riffs and some truely aweful ****ing solos...either way im happy he got fired becasue now two kick ass bands exist

Also to clear things up: DAVE WAS INVITED. He politely declined due to being on tour for Priest Feast and he has to finish that up but he did congratulate them for their induction and said he was proud of them. It was all pretty much a neutral if not even good decline, there's no bad blood between Dave, Lars, and James so if anything Dave probably would have went if he wasn't on tour. It's speculation I know but still pretty likely. So stop the fanboy BS.

Meant to say that if anything Dave's decline was pretty much neutral or if anything he meant the best behind it so if anything it was more or less a nice decline, he's held up by the tour and he couldn't exactly be at two places at once.

I had never expected Jason NOT to be there. I doubt there will be any awkward moments, the whole band seems pretty comfortable in their skin at this point. I'm sure Rob will have no problem at all; I got to meet him on the first leg of the NA DM tour and he is a really cool guy.

Quoting Scott Ian of Anthrax: "Without Mustaine, there is no Metallica; without Mustaine, there may be no thrash metal."

Dave had brought several songs from his band Panic to Metallica, some got used, some didn't. Jump In The Fire and Phantom Lord are two of which he brought; they slapped writing credits for the rest of the band on them. Metallica was a NWOBHM band without Mustaine, period. He gave them their sound, their attitude and a good deal of their noteworthy material. When Kirk was brought in, he was told to "play like Dave did."

Period.

Congratulations to Metallica!
Megadeth is eligible next year, maybe Metallica will attend his?

Was I the only one who, for a a bit of a sec, thought of Cliff? XD

[bluesman6885]

I hope Cliff gets a special mention during the awards, and that someone from his family is there to accept the award on his behalf. I'm glad that Jason will be playing with the guys and receiving the award as well. It's nice to see that Lars & James have grown up.

uh, are you retarded? no sh*t he's not alive, that's what dimeshadow was gettin at, though he's dead his memory should be honored. geez, where's your compassion for a fallen comrade musician?

"CLIFF

why don't you go spit on his grave too?

anyway dimshadow, i'm sure they'll set aside some good time to honor his memory, if they don't i'll never support metallica again.

It is no insult to say a dead man is dead.

[GunSlinger_a7x]

man, newsteds a bitch.

They need to stuff burtons body and just bring him on stage with 'em. Trujillo nor Newsted could EVER take his place. If jason newsted is with them, or trujillo for that matter, then it is not metallica getting inducted, its some-band-that-used-to-be-good-but-then-their-bass-player-di ed-and-they-got-a-pussy-bitch-to-play-in-lieu-of-Cliff getting inducted

R.I.P. Cliff

You can't blame him for having the same skills as Cliff. Not to mention the mix in AJFA leads me to believe that he wasn't very well treated there (at least before Bob Rock produced their albums).

I'm not a big 'tallica fan though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

TRUE. However, he does deserve mention, seeing as how he was the greatest thing to ever happen to that band besides Mustaine.

i think metallica should just hire a singer that sounds like james from kill em all thru puppets and have james just do guitar only, imo james voice will never be as good as the early days

This is sweet. Hopefully they realize that Jason fits into the band so much better than Rob and invite him back. Won't happen, I just wish it would. All Metallica's great stuff was with Jason in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the early three were great, I just find AJFO - Reload much more listenable.

Im not positive but I think Kirk RECORDED all of it. Some of the riffs were actually WRITTEN by Dave mustaine though.

Mustaine co-wrote much the guitar for KEA. Kirk recorded it pretty much note for note from Mustaine's work, except where he saw room for improvement. By the time recording day arrived, Mustaine had been fully replaced by Hammett. Musically, the songs had been established prior to Mustaine's 'exit'.

And I saw Cliff play live Ha!

yo only reason why kirk and trujilo will be there becuz there are a part of metallica if anythin i wouldnt understand why jason would be honored he left the band cliff died he should be honored about the thing on guitar hero instead of not letting them on gh : metallica make em freakin unlockables or sumthin wat they did is disrespect those guys started it no kirk and trujillo (nuthin against them they are great musicians in my opinion)its like taking half of the metallica anthology and sticking the finger to it and forgetting it stupid retards (the irony is we, the fans kno more than the idiots at fricken activision and whatever thats it rock on
zack

[BigPaws]

Jason should agree to play, then as they have everyone's attention , bust into some Flotsam and Jetsam tunes.
Better yet , Jason should sport a Big Sombrero with a Pancho.

rechecked.

[MonsterOfRock]

Glad Newstead is gonna be there at what essencially is his moment of glory as well. May be teach Trujillo the art of the Cookie-monster vocals, lol

And yes, OFFCOURSE THEY ARE GONNA MENTION CLIFF!!! WTF?!

In other news, Mustaine has politely declined their offer to join them for a off camera hangout and the the main event. He is touring with Judas Priests at the moment, so he cant. But he congratulated Metallica and said hes proud of em and thanks for the invite.

How would like to grow up you immature little kelps.

Yeah, people need to get off Jason and quit saying he was a dick. He wasn't at all. They'd be upset too if they got a chance to join their favorite band, just to find out they don't like you and treat you badly. Everything Jason did was "wrong" and I really felt bad for him, but I'm also proud he hung in there for so long. He did it for us and people need to realize that.

[TonalPerfection]

IMO **** Jason.. He left the band. he doesn't deserve to play or be inducted with Metallica anymore, and also I think that it is disrespectful to Rob, as he joined the band, he should be the man credited for the bassist, NOT Jason along with him...

[3rd Eye]

For those of you who are saying dave wasn't invited read this.

"Metallica also invited founding guitarist Dave Mustaine, who is unable to attend, and former bassists Ron McGovney and Jason Newsted, who will."

Too bad he can't make the time.

maybe they will feel its such a good thing put everything past em and want him to stay on again?? that way when i go to the sonisphere in august he would be there.. but its harsh to say that coz rob is amazing.. but his style isnt metallicas style

[Vabolo]

I'm pretty sure Jason was invited because anyone who can endure Lars Ulrich for fifteen years merits an induction. Also, they should call Ozzy to see if one of his contacts in the underworld coud invite Cliff, or even, possibly, Lars' dignity. Nah, that's a bit far-fetched.

I think he got over them a loooong time ago. Even if Megadeth never get in, who cares? We'll all remember who they were and know which of the two bands was really better. The Hall of Fame is really full of a bunch of sellout bands anyway :P

They're just now getting inducted? This should have happened BEFORE Load and Reload... Newsted left just in time, lol.

There's no way they won't say something about Cliff. And Jason left because he wanted to do Metallica and other projects, but James, Kirk, and Lars didn't want him to do it. So he was almost forced out.

They invited Dave Mustaine didn't they?
I want to know what happened to Ron McGovney, not that I care, I just hope he cries every day.

[Flying Afros]

Lol, I think Ron was the guy that Dave electrocuted by pouring water into the pickups on his base.
It would be awesome if Dave could go, but I know he's busy touring and everything, considering he co-wrote/wrote many of their best songs.

And to the dude who said Bob Rock should be included...he's a ****ing producer. Last time I checked, producers weren't part of the band.

[Wakisazhi]

^Bob Rock recorded bass on St. Anger, technically he was part of the band.

[skull78]

How is Cliff going to get there?

[gitplayer27]

Ok even if Mustaine accepted their invite and played he still wouldnt be in the hall of fame with them. Bands dont get to pick which members get inducted - the R and R hall of fame does. Same goes with Jason - even if they hadnt invited him to play with them, he still would've been inducted since he played on some albums.

I cant believe so many stupid people are confused about whos playing bass. they BOTH are. SOme of you seem to think theyre having jason play as their bassist for their induction while rob sits out for the night - WRONG! Either theyll both play at the same time or theyll take turns playing. Why would rob sit out since hes being inducted too?

[SteamMaster]

its good to Jasonic getting some recognition in this, i mean, one of my mates went on about how he 'ruined' Metallica, but ive always liked him and never saw how he ruined the band, i think he was great in Voivod, and great in Metallica

[False_God]

Nice, would love so much to see newsted play with them

metallica havent been a metal band since ...justice, they ride on the name alone, the first 4 albums we're ground breaking and unreal, but after that they were spent, ( black album, load, reload, and the other 2 unforgivably poor studio albums) they dont deserve the accolades they receive!

MUSTAINE IS GOD

[cornmancer]

When I first saw this I had an extremely dumb thought, "I could have sworn that Cliff was dead" then I remembered Jason.

[realiztik]

Class f*ckin act man. Jason was a huge part of this band, and it's amazing that they are putting aside differences and being inducted. Rob knows that he is Metallica, there should be no awkwardness there at all. Metallica is in a league all thier own. RIP Cliff, you will be there too brother in spirit..

The story goes that Ron was kicked out of the band after he had some business cards printed up with "Metallica - Power Metal" written on them. Lars was not impressed. I'm sure this wasn't the only reason but could have been the nail in the coffin for him.

[Vedicardi]

I hope rob is happy with this. Though not as creative per say, as Cliff, he is by far the most technically skilled player the band has had.

If Jason isn't in the band, he doesn't deserve to play WITH the band. If he was too much af an ass to not stay focused on one of the most succesful bands in history and go do his own crap, let him play at the hall of fame when one of his shitty side projects gets good enough.

Did anyone just thought of the ass-like behavior of the 2 tyrants james and lars that supressed Jason?
>>>reason because he just has a credit on 3 songs.
there enough interviews and also dvd material that proof the ignorance of james and lars.

[Cobain_Is_King]

This is totally cool, Jason was my favourite Metallica bassist by far.

[Reab]

Jason back? Why should he be standing there, he and metallica should be done with each other. From the Kill'em all album till the Justice for all album was mostly Cliff Burtons work and master pieces of metallica. Jason contribution to the band wasn't that much. Robert is now in the band and he should get the credit. Jason took some risks during metallica and one of them was ended his carreer in metallica. He is responsible for his own mistakes and ****ed up before they got rewarded with a pic in the rock and roll hall of fame, bad luck for him.

I'm sure they will mention Cliff during their acceptance speech.

For one, Cliff made Metallica who they are now. I am 100% sure that Cliff will be one of the first subjects mentioned. Another thing is Ron should be also because if it weren't for him booking all of 'tallicas early gigs they wouldnt be here. The last point, Jason was there the entire career just about with exceptions of only MoP, RTL, KTA, St.Anger, and Death magnetic. If jason didn't come back that would be ignorant and stupid. Robert, with all respect to him, has done nothing for metallica yet. So Jason is obviously going to be there.
