Newsted To Perform Again With Metallica

Considering the fact that they refused to include him in their 'Guitar Hero' video game, you might be surprised to hear that the band are planning to appear on stage and perform with former bassist Jason Newsted when they are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame next month. Or perhaps not, when you learn that they were inspired to make up and be friendly in order to avoid mirroring Blondie's famously awkward induction.

Guitarist Kirk Hammett has told Pulse Of Radio that he and the rest of Metallica witnessed the onstage spat between former Blondie members Frank Infante and Nigel Harrison and existing band members when they were inducted into the HoF in 2006. “It puts a really bad, sour note on the whole celebration itself”, he said. “There was so many politics and so much drama that, you know, we collectively said to each other, 'We don't want any of that'. Jason Newsted will be there, and he will be playing with us at one point”.

Metallica will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea on 4 Apr.
