1. Between Newsted and Trujillo, who is your fav bassist?

2. Jason bang on the money as usual. Sandman is corny, but that's part of it's accessibility. It IS grossly overplayed though.

3. Well, he's changed his story over the years. He literally said, on camera, clear as day about 18 years ago that he left SPECIFICALLY because he wasn't allowed to do other projects.

4. I thought I was the only one lol. I can't believe that song got so popular 🤷‍♂️
   "Rrrroff to never never land!" lol

5. He says that about Enter Sandman, but at the time he said "People say we sold out. We sold out all the way to the bank" –Jason Newsted

6. God this comment section is toxic. Hundreds of Metallica fans arguing over how they choose to enjoy Metallica.

7. How will u get respect from alcoholic people/s? Do u believe that you can get respect from people who chug tooooooooo much?

8. That corny song made him a ton of cash. Maybe he should give it back if the song was so bad

9. I agree…. in fact, everything after And Justice For All was "kinda corny, honestly"
   In a Bon Jovi kind of way.

10. Black album is and was horrible. When it came out I knew Metallica sold out. I was so upset. They went from " call to your knees and how to the phantom lord" to " and nothing else matters"…horrible… And 30 years later it's on Disney movie sound tracks. Breaks my black metal heart. Thank the gods for Trivium…

11. How about Rockstar SuperNova??.. That's the GAYEST and CORNIEST SH!T EVER and Newsted is in it.. 🤦‍♂️🤣🤦‍♂️

12. It's a bedtime story for children. 😄

13. Lol 😹

14. I agree tho, enter sandman sucks

15. He's not wrong.

16. 100% agreed. I hated that era of Metallica. It's about the only album of theirs I just can't listen to anymore.

17. never understood why they did him so dirty but on this one…I'm sure he cashed all the corny checks

18. they aren't bad without Jason but they aren't better either.

19. Jason is charismatic and loved by many, but let's be honest. Has he done anything remarkable after Metallica?

20. Enter sandman = super corny

21. It was awesome when he joined Dave Mustaine on stage in a Megadeth t shirt. Damn he sounded great, but no surprises. His backing vocals sounded great always.

22. Jason is the only man who gave his 100% energy on stage ALWAYS! You can never compare him to Cliff, he is unique and a perfect fit to Metallica. They never get used to it, ""CLIFF is DEAD"".

23. Always thought enter sandman was lame

24. I liked it when he left Metallica there much better without him.

25. Yup. It was. At 11 I knew all the words to all the songs on all the albums they'd put out up until then, and was hyped for the new album. Then I got it. I wasn't hyped after hearing it.

    Oh and the new song everyone is raving about for some reason is corny too. What do you guys see in thlat song? You named your band after a genre. Why do you refuse to make music in that genre?

26. Crazy to think that Rob has been in the band longer

27. Corney was my feeling as well🤢

28. This is not news at all ,……

29. Corny and catchy are two different things.

30. The lyrics are t really that hard but the way he sings it. Rings it all together. I feel like James Hetfield could make Twinkle twinkle Little Star sound metal

31. What a fool give up your millions then u bi!!!

32. They fockin' dissed and dissed him.

33. It's also kinda good.

34. I saw a interview with Newstead and he said playing echo brain was was really oppressed by James and in the end James said 'arrangements can be made' in other words he threatened him and thats when he decided to leave.

35. I think out of the four of them, Jason Newsted was really the coolest. Kirk is a close second. I don't think Kirk was giving Newsted the lion's share of the grief. It was probably mainly Lars and James. It's a shame they had to be such dicks to him.

36. 100%correct

37. It was that song was trash and after that album is when I quit listening.

38. The song is corny, one of the few Metallica songs I can’t stand

39. Jason is Rock N Roll !!!!🤘

40. Echobrain was trash.

41. I LOVED Metallica.

    The first time I heard Enter Sandman, I knew I was done with them.

42. Lars is a human piece of shit. The world missed out on Jason and Devin's project. It could have been gold

43. He’s right,100%. When I got the album soon as it came out, I expected heavy thrash. Not pop metal.
