No matter what he does Jason Newsted will always be the man who replaced Cliff Burton in Metallica and then got treated, well crap. While I’m sure Jason would tell you he wouldn’t trade his time in Metallica away, it’s been a damn shame that it will always overshadow a man who is in fact an incredibly talented musician. Therefore, many rejoiced when he announced he was returning to music with his own band Newsted and an album full of fresh songs. Hence Heavy Metal Music was born, and to everyone’s amazement was an album full of smooth jazz covers (that was a joke).
