    Jason is so criminally underrated for being in the biggest metal band ever and he’s been one of my biggest inspirations since I was a kid. Thank you for this!!
  • @marcblum5348
    Jason is pretty high in my book of heavy bass players. Consistent, aggressive, song oriented, great stage presence.
  • @mrnogot4251
    I don’t think you have enough impact on the “aggressive” parts. You will notice Jason is usually swinging his entire arm.
  • @erikl6988
    His tone on God That Failed is so so excellent. One of the best bass tones ever.
  • @BassofDeath
    Jason will always be my favourite bass player
  • To get his sound on "And Justice for all" put the bass volume at "0", and do not plug it in to an amp or recording device. You can still use an AMP just make sure the main power switch to the amp is in the "off" position, and the amp is unplugged.

    Justice for Jason 🍺🍺🍺 Jason is criminally underrated and it’s about time we get some rep for Jason 🍺🍺🍺
  • @MK3
    Jason was also the only guy to ever use a fretless bass in a Metallica song. He experimented with everything.
  • @Longy_b
    Insanely fast aggressive down-picking is needed for that aggressive sound on AJFA
  • @TotoDG
    [INSERT AJFA BASS JOKE HERE] Seriously, though, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. I can't imagine how bad it is to be the reason behind 90% of bass player jokes on the internet. So I'm glad you're doing him justice here (pun very much intended).
  • @Malum09
    The stuff he played in his solo band and Voivod is pretty good in my opinion
  • @ttb4456
    We need one for Rex Brown during the later albums for PanterA and the second Down album! Great video, as always!
  • @Tito_Rober
    If I don't remember it bad, Jason recorded Nothing Else Matters with a fretless Spector and with no pick. Anyhow, the video is cool.
  • This is awesome. Im gonna get one of those zoom pedals!!!! You should do Justin Chancellor next
  • @iamgribs
    Wow, that Klos sounds great. And yes Newsted rules. Great tone great right hand hits like a train, outstanding performance.
  • @Vandroy58
    Not only Jason was an awesome bass player but also a wild powerful singer, his backing and lead vocals were freaking savage and amazing, IMO, a lot more solid musician than even Cliff Burton. I miss Jason a lot.
  • Great video! Jason is a huge influence for me and while he never gets his due in the legendary bass player rankings, we all know he is responsible for getting so many people into bass that it is ridiculous. Your main channel just got a sub over here.
