Does Metallica even have any actual 5 string songs?

Jason Newsted is definitely underrated.

I know he's underrated. Now they've got that stupid Middle East/Hispanic whatever he is Robert Trujillio. Shoulda kept Newsted

It's Trujillo, and he's an American-born latino. And your comment is dangerously close to sounding flat-out racist. Just sayin'.

As for Newsted, it's not about whether they should have kept him or not. Hetfield was a notorious control freak and Newsted was feeling creatively stifled. He wanted to try other things so he left. Plain and simple.

Incidentally, Trujillo is every bit the bassist Newsted was, and then some. Look up the isolated bass track for All Nightmare Long on YouTube and listen to how fast Trujillo plays – and it's all finger-style. I'd dare say he's a better player than even Burton.

Okay just bought Kill Em All I cd, already had it on tape with “Am I Evil?” on it is that rare?, and opened it up to see Hammett on the back of the liner notes. He had shit to do with this album, Mustaine did all of what Hammett gets credit for. Went through the liner notes and saw that for Motorbreath it says “(J. Hetfield”. I thought Mustaine wrote that, may be wrong

Not sure what he used, but I kinda liked his clean tone more than Cliff's fuzzy distortion.
