Bassist argues band’s sound was Hetfield and Ulrich's, with two others to "embellish."

The Metallica drummer has a lot of musicians in his corner.

Raised on a farm, the bassist's life changed when a classmate introduced him to the music of Kiss.

One influencer argued the band's 'problematic' past.

He shared his feelings on some of their big tracks.

Former Metallica bassist “really, really not happy” after press chat didn’t go to plan.

'It really is a moment that somehow saved and refueled our band,' says Newsted.

'I couldn't do the show anymore,' he says.

He joined the group after original bassist Cliff Burton died in a tour bus accident.
