After Burton's death, Metallica started auditioning other bassists - Les Claypool (from Primus) auditioned, and Lars and the rest of the band were like, "Ummm...you're too good" and they hired Newstead.
Newstead always has that look on his face like he's been eating nothing but cheese for months and is GI tract is not happy about it...
trujillo was incredible with suicidal tendencies, but basically a hired gun with metallica...there's too much history for him to really have a significant impact at this point. imho.
trujillo is an amazingly talented musician, and i am more than a bit happy that he is not doing anymore of that retarded, post-stanley clarke, "funk" bullshit he was serving up with "infectious grooves." in fact, he is the only surviving member of ST and janes addiction to redeem himself after their subsequent forays into the early 1990's toilet.
speaking of hired guns - newstead is now playing with some battle-of-the-bands teenagers, right?

anyone caught Newsted's interview after he left Metallica? I have to say, i felt very bad at his plight, especially when he was talking about they way they treated others for the bassist audition...
as jeff lebowski says, 'i was a roadie for metallica - bunch of assholes'

Clliff Burton vs. Jason Newsted
Couldn't miss an opportunity to post ....
no contest.
Burton, duh
what about bob? (trujillo)
Burton>Newstead>Bob Trujillo
Cliff Burton made Metallica. When he was gone, Metallica started going downhill. I don't think people realized how big of an impact he had on them.

Further proof that Newstead sucks:

Newstead is playing with Voivod who are underground kings. He's way more metal than Metallica will ever be again. He left at the right time.
Voivod is canadian killer metal
Voidoids
Romeo Void
