Newsted Speaks About Metallica Reunion

• 31st Mar 2009

As previously reported, Metallica have said that they will reunite with former bassist Jason Newsted when they are inducted into the US Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame in April.

Newsted told Rolling Stone: “I talked to Lars, and it's all good. I was happy to hear from him. I hadn't talked to him for a long time, so it was nice to hear his voice. It was just absolutely positive. It was like, there we were, getting ready to get a beer some place. And Lars is ready to rock. He sounded like a kid again talking about the induction, and I felt pretty much like that, too. Getting fired up to rock after that many years… it's pretty special”.
