Newsted on Metallica reunion
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 31 March 2009
As previously reported, Metallica have said that former bassist Jason Newsted will appear with the band for the first time since his acrimonious departure in 2001 when they play at their induction to the US Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame next month. Now Newsted has been talking about it too.
Newsted told Rolling Stone: “I talked to Lars, and it’s all good. I was happy to hear from him. I hadn’t talked to him for a long time, so it was nice to hear his voice. It was just absolutely positive. It was like, there we were, getting ready to get a beer some place. And Lars is ready to rock. He sounded like a kid again talking about the induction, and I felt pretty much like that, too. Getting fired up to rock after that many years… it’s pretty special”.
