Jason Newsted tells his story: Why I left Metallica?


More than ten years after, the ex bassist of Metallica, Jason Newsted, finally has revealed the reasons why he left the band.

"I've never told this story, I'm not sure if I should tell it now, actually," Newsted said. The musician shares that the management of Metallica was very excited about Echobrian, one of the Newsted's side projects, and they wanted to take it out for him but also continue with Metallica.

Newsted noted that Echobrain was a project totally different than Metallica and it wouldn't affected the band at all, but when James Hetfield heard about it he was not happy. The bassist believes Hetfield didn't think same way and, rather, it would affect Metallica because now the managers were interested in something else where he was not included.

As well, Newsted said that a couple of days after Hetfield heard about it the managers called him and told him they were not going be able to help him with Echobrain.

Newsted's idea about the motives for the Hetfield's reaction is he was protecting what he valued, attitude which leaded the story just like it happened. If he had, was this the correct attitude for Hetfield? What you think about it?
