"I am through chewing myself up. I simply wnat to be the
best bass player I can be for this band."
"Metallica is going to be one of those bands you look back on in the year 2008, that people will still listen to the way I still listen to Zeppelin and Sabbath albums."
"I thought I'd do something nice for the band...I'll hang myself."
Jason Newsted quite the band in early 2001 due to serious back problems. If he had done any more extensive touring and headbanging, he would have MAJOR problem with his back. We'll miss you, Jason.
