Jason Newsted Explains Why He Unplugged For New Project: Jason Newsted News
.
On Monday Jason Newsted Explains Why He Unplugged For New Project was a top story. Here is the recap: (Metal Hammer) Jason Newsted says one of the reasons he's pursuing his acoustic project is because he achieved everything he could in heavy music while he was with Metallica. He's happy for bands like Slipknot to take up the mantle - and admits he can't play "heavier and faster" the way he used to. He last week unveiled Would And Steal, a duo featuring Rob Tucker, which focuses on classic Americana. Newsted says in a video: "After 30 years of playing heavy music, I've been around the globe about five times. I've already climbed that mountain. We got Grammy awards, the Hall Of Fame and all those different things. That's as far as you can go in that kind of music. It's someone else's turn to have fun in that music now." He adds: "I can't play like Slipknot now. Those guys are heavier and faster than I could ever dream of playing now. This is how I can play, and this is what I'll do for the rest of time."
