Frankly, they always respected him. There's a big difference between hazing (in the early days) and brotherly joking, and disrespect. Even Jason said they always treated him (and paid him) like an equal. The only time he felt disrespected, was when James didn't want him to do Echobrain. And James' wasn't in a good place at the time. He's since admitted he was wrong. So just be happy that it's awesome Jason did a video for the Metallica channel (and fans). No need to bring up nonexistent drama. Jason loved, and loves, Metallica. That as clear when he went into the HoF with them.

Jason being the odd man out is what made him my favourite, and I play rhythm guitar not base. Jason was a fan of the band, who got to be in the band. Thats a metal fairytale story. Somehow, as a fan, I could relate to Jason, and he made me feel closer to the band as a whole, and know it was possible, however improbable, that I could join my musical hero's and be a part of the greatest band. We are sort of a global family of "odd man outs" aren't we. Love and Respect.
As much as I love Robert, I miss Jason. He was the soul and the connection between the band and the fans.

I'm just now realizing how much of that era belonged to Jason. He was the soul of that band. He's who I think of when I think of those years.
Jason walking away from Metallica has to have been the most difficult decision he has ever made to this day. That must have taken some built up pain and hurt to make that move. Will always wish he was still with them he was my hero. He’s the reason I great out my hair and went in the bathroom and shaved my hair underneath. My mom was pissed 😂
Meeting Jason Newsted was my favorite celebrity experience. He spoke to me like I was the only kid in the world after the Charlotte show on the Reload tour. We talked for about 5 minutes about the Morley pedal he used back then, the one that made all the noise on Bellz. I was a 16 year old kid in awe of his bass idol at the time and I couldn’t believe he was looking me in the eye and treating me so nice. He was the only member of the band that came out after the show and hung out with the fans. His dedication to the fans was amazing. It’s no wonder with his personality and his energy that he remains one of the best loved members of the band.

It's impressive that he remembers the minor stuff from 30 years ago when the band was at their commercial peak and there was so much going on at the time, yet he could still take it all in. Rock on Jason.

I was so upset, for literally years, after Jason left Metallica. He was easily the member I most closely related to. I understood then, and more so now, his reasons for his departure but it didn't make it easier. It was like Mom and Dad getting a divorce.

This unboxing was special in so many ways (glad they included Jason). Can't recall how many Metallica concerts I went to back in the day but I remember how Jason would make time after every show to meet fans who at the time, knowingly hung around after the gig. The guy was truly down to earth then, and is still that same guy now (older but even more wiser). I know he mentioned in various interviews that his body can no longer handle the demanding (by Metallica standards) rigors of touring... but boy would I go back into that late 80's through mid-90's mode when I flew all over the place to watch them, to see Jason do a short "reunion" with them while they all still can.

i had the tape doomsday for the deceiver, theres a bass solo on that w the drums accompanying. i was in middle school about to start 8th grade when this album came out. everything was changing so fast. my friend called and said the new metallica albums good, james actually sings (unforgiven). the early 90s is when metal became pop.

Jason is someone I’d love to just sit down with and listen to the stories he has to tell. I don’t know what it is but even though it’s a video he made me feel like I was sitting across from him and listening to him walk down memory lane.
“Might’ve took longer than expected” we wanted you to take even longer Jason
Imagine the royalties in which he's swimming now, it's nice to see our beloved Jason 😍

I think he said back in 2015 that he couldn't spend his royalties he received on the black album in his life if he tried, this doesn't even include what he got for the Load and Reload cycles which were also successful, this man is loaded for life and he deserves it!

Oh.. I've seen your videos reacting to something about Metallica. LOL to found you in the comments xD
Jason is a Beast. Loved his energy and his backup vocals. In an odd way, him leaving may have saved Metallica in the long run. Will always be a Metallica Metal God.
I just love how humble and respectful this dude is. A lot of people would be bitter and resentful in his situation but the guy just oozes class.
It took me a second to realize it was Jason. It is so cool that he is on good terms with the band. You rarely see that when someone leaves. Plus his memory is perfect for doing a review like this.

Normally, looking through someone's "vacation" photos and "family albums" and listen to them ramble about them is the last thing anyone wants to do. When it's Jason and that family album is of Metallic, I could do this all day. Jason deserved more love. He was the only one of the four that came back stage to the only show I ever was able to afford to attend. He had just played a 2 hour set but was still so gracious with his time and made every fan he talked to feel like they were the only person there. Thanks, Jason. I'll never forget Tropicana Stadium, St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, Dec 29, 1999.
He seems so happy to have been able to do the un boxing for the black album. You can't watch this and not say it didn't make you smile listening to him recall all these locations and photo shoots like an overly exited 16yo child lol. Good for him! Wishing you all the best Jason.
Honestly, I would watch a 4 hour long video of Jason going in depth about all the stuff here, all the stories behind the pictures and everything
I like the fact that Jason still remembers all the places where the pictures were taken
Jason, thank you for everything. The headbanging god who put his soul into every note and live show. Just as integral as any of the other members. Love you dude.
I went to see that tour....it's so awesome to hear him talk about everything in that box.....It meant so much to him, as it meant so much for us to have him do this for us fans of his.....Jason will forever be a member of Metallica
We want more Jason. More stories, more music, more of him. Such a cool and humble guy. A true inspiration. Love you Jason!!!!!

@@7BlueDodger yeah, he can't play it like he'd want to. As a bassist myself, they get very heavy after a lengthy gig. Shoulder surgery would totally screw that up, not being able to bare the weight anymore. I'm sure sitting he plays fine. But, he doesn't want that, and I wouldn't either.
It's clear to see Jason was a fan who got to play with his favorite band, and even after his departure by his own request, he remains a fan. The man is pure class in my book.
Jason is my Metallica bass player, I was too young when Cliff died, and Robert is amazing, but not my bass player. Lots of emotions with this short video. Thank you Jason and thank you Metallica for getting him to unbox 30 years of memories for me.

Not gonna discredit Rob but a huge part of me wishes he never left. Band would’ve been different with the albums released when he left just like how it would’ve been different if cliff never died😢💙🙏🏽⚡️🔔 They both inspired me to pick up a bass🎸❤️🔥🤟🏽.
Remembering all those details shows you this guy was very present and switched on everyday. It wasn’t all a haze that was taken for granted. He showed up everyday and gave it his all. I miss his presence and energy!

I kept passing this video up and just now clicked on it and realized it’s Jason! Happy I clicked now.. I remember Jason from his Flotsam and Jetsam days in Scottsdale! I was a 14 year old kid at the time but I used to see him around. He was just a local rocker at that point.
Most wholesome thing I'll come across today, possibly the week. Glad he got the unveiling.
Not gonna lie, I'd love to have like, an hour long video of Jason going through the contents of the box, listening to the demos and everything, and telling the stories that accompany this or that. That'd be so cool
You can tell Jason is living his best life! So humble! Nice view to have your morining coffe🙂
Very cool indeed. Always loved Jason's vibe, as well as Rob, and Cliffs. I never chose between, it's like asking me to choose between steak, lobster, and jambalaya. There is an era of Metallica basswise and vibe wise for every mood. Surgical precision killer riffs? Puppets era. Weighty crushing punch? Black. A looser, greasy, heavy sabbath blues mood? Load era onward. A combination of all the former? Present day. It took me a MINUTE to appreciate what they were going for with Load. Hindsight is 20 20, and looking back that album grew on me significantly. And James helped me alot writing my own riffs and vocals. Humming first in key over a chord progression makes it much easier in the rough mix.
Having Jason doing the unboxing speaks volumes!, well done Metallica!.
Jason is one of the coolest dude who ever walked the Earth
Jason is a cool guy. Very genuine, humble, and kind. It’s wonderful to see him get some just due.
Having Jason to unbox this with us, was a very special tribute to his legacy and I really appreciate that. Thanks!!!

This band pulled me through some difficult times. I'm glad to see us all persevere
I wish nothing but good things for this man, the respect and love I have for him is endless. He brought me so much joy throughout my childhood, teenage and young adult years. Love you Jason

This was cool guys. Thanks for having Jason do the honors.
Gotta love Jason man 😂 such a wholesome down to earth human being. I’m glad he still participated in Metallica related stuff every now and then
It took a second for me to realize who this was. When I did, it brought the buggiest smile to my face. This is great.
Jason is the man and I can't thank him enough for what he gave to metallica. Superb bass player, amazing energy and his backing vocals were epic.
Oh yeah, a lot of emotional when i saw Jason there, imagine for him how meanful was to be inclued, Jason always got a way to thanks the Metallica family, crew, fans for everything, Jason is an angel, Jason will always be in deep of my heart and i respect him as a person and musician, god save Jason!
There is no better outcome possible
Mad respect for Jason. Miss him in the band immensely. Wish I could have appreciated the band more when I first saw them for the first (and only) time on the VH Monsters of Rock tour. They were still so underground to me back then that I wasn't overly familiar with their music. Now they are one of my favorite bands.
I would love to listen to his stories from that tour for hours, hearing the places they went and the amazing moments they shared as brothers! Glad to see him unbox that, such great memories
