Rob was hilarious on Saturday at the O2. He was wandering around the stage almost with his knuckles dragging. He has brought a sense of humour to Metallica and they don’t seem to take themselves so seriously now. He is a great musician and an absolute fucking character.

I was lucky to get backstage passes tickets for the snakepit when the Nowhere Else To Roam tour came to Brisbane, Australia (I was working in a record shop at the time and was the token metalhead in the store). Me and my best mate got to meet James and Jason before the show and get all our stuff signed. James showed us his newly barbequed arm that he got during the tour with GN’R. Jason was incredibly cool and we talked about how much we were looking forward to seeing the Kyuss set (they were the support band). Jason even offered to take my “Blues For The Red Sun” CD to their dressing room to get it signed but I was too embarassed at the thought of the bass player from Metallica running around after me.

Later in the snake pit I got to see right up close the 100% effort and guts that Jason put into his show. He took over the vocals for pretty much the whole of “Whiplash” and it was scary to watch!! This was just after he’d shaved his head and the effect of that along with veins and chords popping out of his neck and his face all screwed up in venom was pretty fuckin’ impressive for a young bastard like myself.

People always go on about how Cliff was the cool one in Metallica but it’s awesome that Jason is going to be given his due props at the RN’R HOF.

Jason Newsted being the coolest guy ever was the only reason i became a metalhead. The second reason was actually creeping death! Rob is okay but he can never bring what jason brought to a live metallica show!

Oh that would be awesome Merk, I love what Rob has brought to the band but there’s elements of Jason that I miss and that’s one of them.
