Listen to the new project
Former Metallica Jason Newsted revealed his new musical project this weekend, with the band called Would And Steal. The musician played some tracks from the project in a webcast which can be seen below.
Newsted took the opportunity to explain the change in style:
“After 30 years of playing music and traveling the world – I’ve been around the globe five and a half times, 55 countries – I’ve already climbed that mountain, there are no more mountains to climb. So between my accomplishments that I achieved with the success of the band – I was a member of the band, something that is bigger than all of us, and we won Grammys and got into the Hall of Fame and everything else – That’s as far as you can go with this kind of music, and it’s someone else’s turn in this style of music now.”.
“I can’t play like Slipknot. These guys are heavier and faster than I could ever dream of playing. So this is how I can play, and this is what I’ll do for the rest of my life.”.
