The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Jason Newsted
- Metallica is going to be one of those bands you look back on in 2008 that people will still listen to the way I still listen to Zeppelin and Sabbath albums.
- I tell you very honestly, 1 billion percent, I have never regretted leaving Metallica.
- When I came into Metallica, I had to do justice to Cliff’s work, but I also had to put my own signature on it. No one could be Cliff Burton; Cliff Burton was the Jimi Hendrix of bass.
- The past is where it is supposed to be.
- I still play music for the same reasons as when I first started; for the energy, the feeling, the interaction with others. Not for the money, ego or greed.
- To look for some kind of insight or meaning in pop songs is not really… well, there’s plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song.
- I don’t want to grow up,’ Tom Waits said it. I live it. I put myself in a position to be a kid as long as I want to. I play loud music and scream for a living.
- I’m busier than a busy person. People aren’t scared to play this raucous, harsh music over radio speakers, so I think it’s the perfect time to get in with some really serious, heavy bands.
- It all has to do with art—writing, painting, things I’ve done for a long time but just never had enough time to pursue. I have poetry—things that are designed for songs, but they’re always poems first.
- I ended up getting a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss – I liked Gene the best.
