Newsted has been talking to Lars
In an interview with journalist Eddie Trunk, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted praised Metallica's new song, " Hardwired ," and even said he was in contact with the band, hinting at a possible collaboration. Check out his statement:
“I can’t believe how good the music is. I’ve listened to it a few times. Someone played it for me in the car, and I brought it home and listened to it several more times. I like its nature. I like its sounds. It’s very good.”.
Asked if he still keeps in touch with the guys from Metallica, Newsted said: “I have a call with Lars scheduled for Thursday now. I’ve been talking to him frequently. With them releasing a new album, there’s a lot to do, lots of details, so we’re always talking. And now we’re really talking, which is good, and I hope we can meet in person. But they have a lot to do with this new album. I’m excited for them. I’m proud of them.”
The interviewer then asks if Jason is talking to Metallica simply as a friend, as a business partner, or if they have discussed reuniting, and Newsted replied, "All three."
