Jason Newsted With Flotsam & Jetsam " Iron Tears" circa 1985

[1313FLYROD]

Fuckin Awesome I lived in Mesa back then does anyone have any DOGZ footage the band before flotsam?

[backsenko]

0:44 - 0:45 Nice! =)

[DeviatioNBanD]

nice hair jason lmao

[psudeoaccount]

Now I'm not judging the band by the way they look or anything, but are the guitarist and vocalist wearing makeup?

Either way, great band, and great performance, sounds just as good, if not better, than the studio version.

[azrock4ever]

@psudeoaccount Dude you have obviously missed the point of the 80s if you have a problem with makeup in 1985.

noob

[shaindaman13]

Newsted rocks. Love that guy!

[mustkillbarney121]

this is terrible, the only thing that was good was Newsted... METALLICA!!!

[metallicaman182]

@mustkillbarney121 what are you talking about this is pure thrash...as much as i love metallica and newsted Flotsam and Jetsam is amazing! Newsted is one hell of a song writer and personally i think he did his best stuff before metallica, even if it was for only one album

[azrock4ever]

@metallicaman182 You hit it right on the mark. Metallica went down hill song wise when Jason left. It wasn't Lars or James writing the good music.... it was Jason!

I salute you!

[mbenson182]

@azrock4ever I was actually talking about Jason's songwriting in THIS band, and not Metallica...although he did do some cool stuff with Metallica, and his solos are f'ing boss.

[AWGMJANS]

I think this is one of the alltime best bands in metal! Fuck Metallica, Flotsam kicks their ass Their early years were brilliant but The quattro album is a perfect record!

[honeboy57]

My band "Force It" used to open for these guys at the Bootlegger back then.

They were cool to work with.

[wolfmei5ter]

Soooooooooooooo awesome!!!! Loved their first two albums. Shame that they disappeared into the musical wilderness after Jason left....

[azrock4ever]

@wolfmei5ter Musical wilderness? Flotsam? They have TEN albums out, not including their EPs and bootlegs. Dude, you really need to at least Google things before you stick your foot in your mouth.

Go get your "awesome" on by buying a few of their albums. Start with "No Place for Disgrace"

[bahhhmeran]

@PatsUnbeaten

...Say "Thank you Jason"

[TheFunerus]

tu sabes!!!

[67rallysport]

The "Great Times" thrash metal era with the cut sleeve Levi's denim jackets, flannels, 501s... I saw Jason's debut in Metallica day after Slayer show (LA's Olympic Auditorium) at an Anaheim, CA club (as "special guests" Metal Church headliner, Heretic opener) with fusebox blowing fuses and Metallica kept playing on unplugged doing "Master of Puppets". Audience sang along, awesome gig I wish someone taped it

[firinthepig]

Just... Casually Move the camra too the ass...

[Bocephusdixie]

the rest of the band sounds good, one of those guitars gives me heart burn i cant figure out which one

[SputniksArmy]

@Bocephusdixie its the rhythm guy on the far left, i know this beacuse when the lead guy does his solo shit, i still hear the bad guitar :P

[derkommisar]

What an outfits and damn those hair-dos, but goddamn what a Killer performance!!

[ZonaMispar1]

the chick that shakes her ass... this is all about metal.

[kalvander]

@ZonaMispar1 exactly :) hot

[Eyehategod213gr]

@ZonaMispar1 :( Now she's more than 40 years old...

[fishermangonewild]

@ZonaMispar1 lol whats so metal about a small ass?

[HEAVYMETAL21ST]

compare this to the beast of metallica...crazzy...

[Jzs20]

nice ass at :53

[LordOdranel]

@Jzs20 Such a beautiful butt!!

[jackster28]

Thank you for the post!!!!

[georgetaliat1]

tht was really gud although they looked pretty stupid and glam. their sound is pretty awesome.. jason rulz

[haus05]

dude its so shitty there are like 10 ppl there id be calling everyone i know to see a show like this id pack the fuck out of that public school; Gymnasium lol hahahah at the chick shakin her ass at the start those jeans bring me back lol

[piltza]

no cóż, każdy kiedyś zaczynał granie na takich koncertach :)

[beefstu9]

Jason knew how to give one hell of a metal show

[laithlaith91]

@Styyppa1 i was jst about to comment on the view, he mustve been happy =)

[Styyppa1]

@laithlaith91 aaahaaahaaaa! I actually have no idea who the guy was but judging by how many people were at that show, there wasn't much else to keep him entertained (aside from the band and the music)!

[sigma1848]

Fantastic. Simply stated fantastic.

[DomIstKrieg]

i know this really is besides the point but the singers mullet looks fucking ridiculous. Excellent band and this song in particular is fantastic. Great singer except for his hair.

[rokvidfan]

this is badass, the fact the music goes away when you're staring at that chicks ass is purely coincidental, or was that just me..

[CpMKrunk]

I never thaught their singer looked that thrash he kinda looks glam

[shizokiller]

its a shame that this band dident get bigger than metallica

Flotsam & Jetsam And Overkill go hand in hand such great bands

[rokvidfan]

@shizokiller metallica is like....the biggest band ever lol, it's hard to be bigger than that ;)

[ThrashMetalAJM]

What?? u have history with this guys?? =o

WTF??? F&J! \m/

[LiquidStampede]

wow why did jason's hair get straight when he joined metallica? he looked much better like this

[tenorississimo]

Корава работа!

[theycallmetim1]

Where was this shot??...I'm guessing Phoenix, but who knows, GREAT VIDEOS

[SputniksArmy]

hm, sounded like darkest hour before the song started.

[celticattack]

Erik AK's hair looks like Carlos Cavazo of early Quiet Riot days!! LOL...Flotsam rules!!

[Chains0fHonor]

*hehe* Sehr geil !

[chilenoscio]

0:52 ass!!!

[masterofmetallica09]

Now that's a singer! Yeah!

[nyrs09]

que buen video.... reliquia...

[esp1825]

Jason displayed star quality even then......

[thrashcunt1]

fuck yeah! this is sick!! haha spandex

[millardcool]

I will be seeing these guys in one week...lol

It's gunna fkn rock!!!

[thyrfing2]

the vocals sort of remind me of diamond head... sounds great

[killaklownownz]

the singer kind of looks like he should be in a hair band

[HeadBang1212]

@killaklownownz yeah i know whats with his hair lmao

[strikerdiego]

@HeadBang1212 it was the 80s guys,take a look at their main influence´s hair...its was pretty normal back then,who cares about hair when it rocks so good!

[eddynajera]

Kinda wish jason newsted stayed with Flotsam and Jetsam longer. These guys fucking shred.

[FuckinMetal3694]

loo at the girl 0:46 LMAO

nice ass she got 2

[freemusicblogg]

She's gonna to crumble that stage!! :D

[mujuma]

The Singer doesn't look interested or happy at all lol, but damn I love his voice...

[vargasisking]

wow, none of you know shit about music if you think metallica sold out. fuck off you fuckin posers

[NeverAloneForever]

I wouldn't say sold out but I would say that they changed their whole image with their musical direction.

[joelsamuel]

Nino Nataro was the audio engineer for my productions of this video great sound- RIP Nino!

[nefty73]

@joelsamuel

The sound on this is phenomenal, as is the video quality. F&J just killed on this.

[weaktious1]

well, since everyone's talking about metallica, figure i might as well say "this video fucking shreds! this is a surprisingly extremely great quality video, f&j kills!"

[MetalMaroCortez]

who cares i think Jason Newsted ment well joining metallica. didnt he swear to not have kids for the music or something? i mean thats dedication. of course i dont think he is as good a cliff burton in metallica. if cliff lived and jason stayed with flotsam & jetsam everything would have okay. thats what i think x]. pleez no bad replies just saying my opinion

[ItWhoSleeps]

This reminds me a little of metal militia.

[SantusVagus]

Great! One of my favorite songs!!!

[MrOcsaSmokie]

flotsam needs jason again...

when he was member he organized the band...

and after disgrace F&J really gor bad...

[BASTARDTimmy]

Jason Ward (current bassisy) is an excellent basplayer and a really great guy... I was backstage at wacken rocks seaside with them because I met them the week before

[StillWaterFilms]

Thank you! Song rules!!! Wish Newsted and Flotsam would hook up again...

[megadethrulez1]

2:20 guess the camera man like filming that ass,

cant blame him though its pretty big :p

[MegaBlue42]

u think? good call

[joseph9472]

i bet u Jason had no idea he was gonna join metallica a year latet!!!!

[BASTARDTimmy]

If it was me I would have stayed in Flotsam...

The work metallica brought out after blackalbum was terrible.

[briandrum1]

Are you kidding me? Everyone knows that what Metallica became after the black album isn't up to par, at all, but what, do are you able to see into the future? All he knew was that he was invited to be the bassist in the greatest metal band of all time!!!! Anyone that would turn that gig down at that point in time is either....A - scared of being on the road or B - a fag....

[BASTARDTimmy]

Greatest metalband?

They sold out loooooong ago...

But hey this is Flotsam and Jetsam... NOT metallica...

Just enjoy!

[SimulacronX]

Yeah, but don't you think million bucks are tempting?

[BASTARDTimmy]

MOney or music... I'd go for music hehe

If i got a million for playing some faggot ass disco song... I would certainly not do it

[SimulacronX]

dunno... no-one talks ever about money in the rock biz, but you would be surprised how many artists are motivated by it.

But what the hell

[qyasser]

id like to see someone offer u a million and u rejecting it.

[fishermangonewild]

@qyasser i still dont understand why they offered a monkey who plays bass just as well as a beginner a million dollars to join one of the greatest metal bands in the world -.-

[Panzer5]

@fishermangonewild I miss Jason, but that monkey playing bass is no beginner. As much as dislike watching a ape drag a bass guitar on the floor, he can play.

[Scott1305]

Wow!!!! Look at all that hair on Eric! I think we can blame him for the hole in the ozone layer!

[BASTARDTimmy]

WHAHAHAHA

[Dagger555]

I.... enjoyed it!

[VictimOfPain]

WOW!

[tjalve93]

nice at 0:52

[MarioVampireFang]

haha neoshaolin1 can go suck a fish stick.

[RikkiX69]

I used to see these guys all the time. I went to Dobson High School with Michael Gilbert & knew Jason very well. I was part of PHX's Metal Militia (like Berkely's Slay Team) a buch of PHX headbangers fuckin' shit up!!!!

[neoshaolin1]

Singer needs to learn how to sing on key. He's annoying as crap the way he hits random high notes that don't even fit the song.

[Devnal]

He sings just fine. i doubt you can do better.

[sleutelbos31]

I like the camera angles in this video

[mjuna123]

this band had the right mid-80's vibe going on...

[Wishpool]

It seems the camera man had a thing for a certain girl's ass-shakin'. ha!

Thanks for posting ~ cool to see the old-school bands! I saw F&J at a 'battle of the bands' at some high school track in San Antonio in '86/'87.

[metal440]

RULES!!!!!

[MENINBLACK74]

This is truly amazing! Their 1st demo and 1st full-length are absolutely masterpieces of US speed/thrash metal!Thanx for posting!!

[S1apSh0es]

The first two full lengths are awesome. Whatchu talkin' 'bout? XP

[ubbuu]

great audience...

[quegonorreatutubo]

this band was so underrated what a shame :(

[SON0KONG]

way better than mettalica these guys never sold out

[Thrasher502]

hahahahha. what?

[fraka899]

they could not sold out..

[andmarish]

@quegonorreatutubo flotsam another good band screwed over by mettalica hetfield & ulrich signed a song writer ,bass player& a band member the got pushed to the back .one day that pussy lars might get that mustaine jackson smashed in his mouth

[thrashtacular]

what a massive crowd full of hardcore thrashers! hahaha lol

[ubbuu]

Ha Ha Ha!

[Metamorphosis33]

i dont know about you guys but for the time...that drummer is pretty frigging good better than lars

[Godflesh88]

Hell yeah, Kelly David Smith is an awesome drummer. This whole band was full of top shelf musicians actually.

[cripps78]

it's a bc rich eagle. the bass that is.

[rkdodz]

fakest headbanging EVER !

[avengers71]

The singer looks like a douchebag.

[deathangel871]

haha he looks like a glam singer..but he has really good vocals though

[quinkroon]

wtf.

I don't know that bass?

Who's the builder?

[m169marroquin]

Word got out Jason is attending the Metallica Hall of Fame induction.

[Rocker095150]

hahah chick in the beginning has a flat ass

[choachi2]

Lol maybe not. The jeans back then made everyones ass look like that. And it was considered a bad thing if you had a bubble butt unlike today.

[Rocker095150]

i love me sum ass....DAT ASS.....lol 4chan

[MattBodossian]

Dude theres nothing funny about his looks its kick ass not funny and it's still the style that style will never die.

[mobyhead]

I started listening to these guys in 1986 when I was in the military. Definitely takes me back.

[propain67]

makes me laugh, the chicks in the video trying to shake ass to the song..it's to fast...if the chciks can dance to your song,it's not metal

[MattBodossian]

Haha yeah dude they probably went to the show thinkin it was gonna be glam metal or something, but they still digged it!

[choachi2]

I'd be inclined to agree except I saw some hot chicks dancing onstage at an Exodus show and they were really makin' it work for em.

[nicolo003]

such an under rated band! every thrash fan do yourselves a favor and pick up their first two albums at least 'doomsday for the deceiver' and 'no place for disgrace', your head will not stop banging!

[MolotovTNT]

this is good shit i like it

[Carsurgeon]

Badass tune,

[Macdeth1717]

What a Gem from the past!! I saw em open for Megadeth on the Peace sells tour in Trenton NJ.They smoked Megadeth!Jason recently had joined that other Band.Who was it again?

[gbn3321]

F&J rocks....Doomsday is one of my favourites ! Nice quality on the video !

[issa9]

Haha the riff at 1:38 sounds like the riff from The four Horsemen or Mechanix. Its pretty cool.

[noeltheshemale]

Legendary band, great performance. Rippin' guitar soloz. Good ass shots.

[guitarzero]

I will always enjoy this clip Joel. Thanks for being around to capture evrything you have over the years

[pigfaceddog]

look at the shitter on that critter @:51

[elevedesfb]

The band had to pay he guys in the crowd to be there, headbanging... Looks terrible...

[twikirobot]

Damn...this sounds great!...better than the album...nice ass in the "crowd" too!!!

[karaokekills]

quatro is their best by far..flotsam and jetsam are the 2 rivers in hell..

[Hunhrer]

wohow!! jason rock!

[plug101]

she has niuce bum

[ernieoovayuk]

jason played the bass in a weird way before he joined metallica,but poor crowd,ok song,good performance,great style

[conradsz]

what's weird about it in your opinion?i'm curious :) the music's obviously different than that of Metallica

[uofksteel]

Great song from a great 80s thrash band. But what is the deal with Erik's hair and shirt LOL.

[spiralingcrazies]

oh the 80s!!!! The opening is priceless with the high pitch vocals.

The music is quite good and Jason is actually really tight in that band.

[Tacomadome24]

This is fucking awesome! glad I found it.

[BassistDemon]

They are great! Jason is the best \m/ \m/ I have some of their albums, vocalist has very good voice ;))

[Coreythecheese]

That crowd is disgraceful. Where are the Thrashers? The crowd looks like slightly toughened up 50s/60s concert crowds.

Anyway, FLotsam and Jetsam fucking Rule!

Doomsday for the deceiver is an amazing thrash album and debut.

\m/ horns up from NZ \m/

[MetalHeart8787]

this is 1985! 8 years before you were Born anyway, Besides alot of thrashing, stage diving, GAY crowd surfing is a waste of Time

WATCH THE BAND!

[Ktulu017]

hardly a 'tellica crowd :P musics good though

[krusher70]

great footage ...brings back some memories from the phoenix metal scene from back in the day...awesome!!

[xurxo12]

jason should have joined back to F&J when he left MetallicA in 2001. AWESOME 1st ALBUM !!!

[rizooch]

A.K. sounds amazing. The band was so tight...nice when you can hear Newsted play. Garage Days re-revisited was a tease. When they turned his bass off on And Justice...fuck..what a goddamned waste. He's a fucking animal.

[thefadeaway101]

wow!

[guitarzero]

Show these guys Feb 14 1986 here in Phoenix. Billed "St Valentine's Day Massacre"

[stormriderWI]

this album is a 1000 mile per hour riff monster

[henryshongkongmovies]

[KID66ROCK]

[Mike4metal]

jasons a cool guy!flotsam lost a key guy

[nathantim]

[basssican]

[ericcarr1989]

He's taken alot of infulence from Rob Halford. That's a real good thing.

[DonnieGambler]

great great band

[MartinPetrozza]

Yeah! This video is really a gem.

[Cruijffie]

Jason is a fucking legend

[TheFleshStorm]

what a crowd.

[Croatiansportsguy]

Jason Newsted is an awesome bassist. If you look at his associated acts, he did a great job every band of his

[navylaks2]

If you look at the singers stile allmost everyone has that stile today, Jason looks very confident dos he not eh?.

[metallicacliff]

WOW BIG CROWED

[set6the6word6afire]

[burton666rickenbaker]

I wish i could be there.People says nmetal is disgusting FUck up men, put the rap on your dick and suck it. Metal up your ass Dude.This is very music and the best lifestyle, sex drugs and roll.

[neurosisfan]

Sound quality is amazingly good. This is straight up old school Flotsam. I remember having Doomsday for the Deceiver on cassette when I was a little lad of 14 in 1989...

[burton666rickenbaker]

yo dude , JAson have wirte all the album with co writing 2 or 3 song and wirte all the others.Hail Newsted! Amazing sound! that bullshit they have not put this on dvd.

[dethkitn]
