i dont like the way he plays it. i'd rather hear cliffs track. also you're only hearing the clean di signal. there should be a wah track too....

Jason is a great bassist, and my biggest influence.

A lot of the bass enhanched songs from AJFA sounds better than the original, so yeah he's awesome!!

Have you seen the bass enchanced version of One? It sounds much better.

So good I had to download it on my computer

There's a dude that has remixed Shortest Straw, and seriously... The bass makes that song so much heavier. I cant even stand listening to the original now. In fact, I barely can stand listening to AJFA at all! It's a crying shame 'cause the songs are so good!

Remix it with more Jason in it already, Metallica!!!

Yeah it would be nice if they remixed and rereleased AJFA, although I think most Metallica songs could benefit from a fatter bass tone.

There. Corrected your post for you

Yeh, I find the overall mix on AJFA terrible Hetfield and Ulrich were tards for that... Harvester Of Sorrow would kick so much ass >.<

I do think Jason was a great stand-in for Cliff, from a musical point of view..

Michael Waegner (sp?) who mixed MOP posts on the gearslutz recording forum regularly. He remarked that when mixing MOP he had het on one side going "the guitars should be louder" and ulrich on the other side....well you get it.

hammet and burton knew it was pointless even being there so they didnt bother.

AJFA is pretty wretched, sonically speaking. I remember the first time I heard it, I was listening on headphones and got a headache. That album, and some older Pantera stuff always sounded awful in car stereos (before the days of amps and subs). Whenever there was palm muting, it would make this awful woofy, humming sound.

I also remember the first time I listened to Voivod's self-titled album (the one with Newsted) and thought, "So this is what Jason sounds like on cd"

Anybody who's ever read/seen an interview or met Jason Newsted knows that he'd be the greatest guy to ever have in your band. The rest of Metallica made a huge mistake losing him.

+1! There has to be someway to get Metallica's attention and tell them to do that.

I love Jasons sound in there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQTZUVah98

Does anyone have an idea how to set the EQ on mky Behringer BDI21 to come close to that sound?

and tbh, thjey could have gotten a much better bassist to replace him. i cannot stand trujillo, quit wearing your bass so low that you have to crouch all the time to play anything besides roots

Agreed. He's a talented fellow but how he sets his strap and bass so low is just inefficient. Watch the live Orion video with him. When he goes to play the first distorted riff, the clean intersection or the solo he has to prop his bass up on his knee to play it. Thats just stupid. Set the strap properly so you can play your bass comfortably anywhere on the fretboard.
