NEWSTED - New Jason Newsted Band Project

I like this album but just like Motorhead, I find myself listening to everything else but them...

Awesome and great sounding?  

I'm sure SD will be along soon enough to tell us otherwise.  

Nah, I have zero interest in Newsted so you're safe this time.   

I thought the music was more in your territory. Long songs, numerous changes (not calling it prog mind you), unconventional guitar tone, elements of doom and retro/NWOBHM, sounds very little if not at all like Metallica.

I might give it a listen sometime, not really seeking out new metal bands at this juncture.

Question for folks that ordered this ep directly from Jason's website. Was it a bare-bones digipack or cardboard slipcase?

I just received a sealed copy from Amazon (secondary seller) and I was pleasantly surprised to find my copy in a jewelcase with inserts and all.

Just wondering.

I never got the EP but the full-length at Best Buy, which came in a crappy digipack. That's cool that you got yours in a jewel case because judging from photos on the net it looks like the EP's came digi.

I just bought the mini cd. Nice digipack with a great cover. Songs are good too. I like his voice. Sometimes the music reminds me of old ANVIL too. And of course MOTORHEAD, BLACK SABBATH and even METALLICA type of riffs. Really a must have for any METAL fans.

Bump for update. Don't hold your breath for any new Newsted music anytime soon...

Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted spoke to Billboard.com about his decision to shelf NEWSTED, the heavy metal project he operated between 2012 and 2014.

"I was trying to take on too much stuff at once," he said. "You can only do so much and make it work right. I won't call it over 'cause I did write a whole 'nother record, but it just hasn't been put together. It hasn't been recorded all the way. It's not ready for the people. That's something that's just on the backburner right now."

Bummer.

That bites. I really liked that Newsted record. When I saw this thread get bumped I was hoping it would be cuz there was a new one in the works. Sigh.

Damn. I could use some new material by mr. Newsted.
