Heavy Metal Sunday is glad to see this come out.

Jason Newsted is best known to metalheads as Metallica's long-time bassist, and probably the only person ever to quit his band while being filmed for a movie. Jason's reasons for leaving were complex, ranging from the band's absolute ban on side projects to his feelings that he was the eternal "new guy" even after 15 years and unprecedented success. After leaving Metallica he continued with his project Echobrain, played with Ozzy Osbourne and joined heavy metal band Voivod. None of these really panned out, and by 2006 Newsted was reduced to appearing in CBS' Rock Star Supernova.

Oh, the humanity.

But he has rebounded, and formed new band, Newsted with drummer Jesus Mendez Jr. and guitarist Jessie Farnsworth, with Staind guitarist Mike Mushok joining later in March 2013. From their debut EP, METAL we present Newsted performing Soldierhead

Still looking for Best Hair Metal songs that aren't power ballads.
