Hi there music fellas. This is just me trying to pay some homage to one of the most remembered and celebrated contributions that bassist Jason Newsted made to Metallica while he was in the band. As Jason himself stated in many interviews, his original idea was to develop these bass sections into a later full instrumental studio track. We all know that didn´t happen since the song "My Friend Of Misery" included in the multi-platinum selling album "Metallica/The Black Album" was recorded with lyrics by James Hetfield as usual; but nevertheless Jason had the actual chance to perform this song live many times in live shows/tours presenting it to the people in a closer way to his original idea. What I am playing here is actually a similar version of his fully instrumental take on this tune, close to what you can hear in multiple live shows, most notably the live show in San Diego ´92 / ("Live Sh*t Binge And Purge" Album).


As I did with some of my previous bass videos, I included On-Screen TABS of what I´m playing in case some of the fellow bassists want to follow the video with instrument-in-hand and they might come handy.


As always, thanks a lot for watching. If you like this type of videos subscribe for more content to come in the future and don´t forget to leave a like, share with music friends/colleagues or leave your thoughts over the comment section. All that honestly helps me to continue doing this in the long term as well making this video reach other guys who might be interested in it.


See you in the next video with more music!
