the only reason he didnt fit the sound of metallica is cuz he wasnt ever easily allowed into metallica. they didnt appreciate him until he left. from all sources, jason newsted was one fucking incredible bassist.
@1xcrosswordx1 agreed. im pretty sure that he only got three song credits out of fifteen years of playing with metallica. he definately needed more credit
i grew up a huge cliff fan...but as I've gotten better and i opened my mind to different styles of music and bassist i now see how overrated he really was...its just fact his bass lines were nothing great he used nothing but simple triads in his solos and his bass lines were all root fifth octave...amateur
Not really. Go listen to the master bass tracks of Fade to Black and Master of Puppets, not to mention Orion. The bass only versions are all over YouTube, and he was much more than that. Granted, sometimes people think he's the greatest because of his distortion, and it can be a bit overrated, but in general he was extremely good as a musician let alone a bassist. Look up his Anesthesia solo live in '83, that really shows his technique and potential.

that
is
not
bass
i mean obviously its a bass guitar but the sound coming out of it is...unnatural. Geddy is bass. Victor is bass. Claypool is bass. THATS just creepy. like Heath Ledger, he became even more popular after he died
but he is very talented. i have listened to Pulling Teeth. i have attempted to play it. i failed. i can accept that. im not denying Cliff Burtons amazing talent. im just saying that that is not natural bass.
OWW YES UFO AT 2:41!!! is like...a fast black stain flying,(low-right part of the screen) but still if james gives the finger is kinda funny jajaja :D
