Jason Newsted Issues Update on New Band, New Music
Jason Newsted has checked in with a new update since announcing his “return” late last month. According to a new video from his studio, the former Metallica bassist has formed a new heavy metal band called Newsted.
“I’m singing lead vocals and playing bass again,” he shared. “We’re busy working on our second batch of new songs that we’ll be sharing with you soon, but our first batch of songs is ready to go.”
He went on to say he won’t be issuing a press release, but instead asks fans to sign up for a mailing list for upcoming new songs. The clip ends with a teaser of a new song, which one commenter said sounds like “a Motorhead/Metallica/Testament mix.”
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.

Hell yea
Not sure if like…
He’s a lunatic, but ya’ gotta love him.
It definitely seems like he’s had too much coffee, but I think it’s working out for the music.
