Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

L'ancien bassiste de Metallica lance son premier projet solo, où il assure également le chant.
Chanson en écoute ci-dessous, franchement pas mal.

"Soldierhead", the first song from NEWSTED, the new band led by former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted, was premiered on last night's (Monday, December 17) edition of the "Eddie Trunk Live" show on SiriusXM satellite radio and can now be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The official video for the track was filmed on Saturday, December 15.

"Soldierhead" comes off NEWSTED's four-song EP, entitled "Metal", which will be released exclusively via iTunes on January 8, 2013. Pre-orders begin today (Tuesday, December 18).

"Metal" will contain the following tracks:

* Soldierhead
* Godsnake
* King Of The Underdogs
* Skyscraper

By purchasing all four songs, you will receive a copy of Jason's handwritten lyrics.

NEWSTED is:

Jason Newsted - Bass, Lead Vocals
Jesus Mendez Jr. (THE NAPOLEON BLOWNAPARTS) - Drums
Jessie Farnsworth - Guitar, Backing Voice

In a recent interview with Eddie Trunk's "Friday Night Rocks" radio show on New York's Q104.3 FM, Newsted stated about his plans to release original music via his newly launched official web site, "Whatever it ends up being — if it's five songs, 20 songs, 50 songs… I don't even know what the heck I'm gonna do. I have so much music from over the years. I have a bunch of new stuff, I have so many mixes of projects with people — new players, young players, old-school players like myself — so I'm just trying to figure out exactly what I wanna unleash on everybody first. That's kind of what it's coming down to — the timing of things and how I wanna hit people with it, and which stuff [to release first]."

Asked how he plans to release his music, Jason said, "I see a couple of the old avenues still being there that will always be there in the purest form — making the vinyl and everybody having the special-edition vinyl to be able to read the lyrics, stuff like you and I loved the most, that's the closest to us that's the most endearing and the most personal. So that's always gonna be there and I never wanna dismiss that, so that will be percentage of it for the fans that really dig the real American kick-ass guitar music … And then the newest avenues that I'm just really now learning about as I expose myself to all this stuff… I saw a piece of one of ['That Metal Show' espisodes on VH1 Classic] and somebody talked about DOWN and some other bands doing four tracks at a time in EP form every few months, letting people have some fresh metal. I think that's a pretty good concept, a pretty good formula — I'm hip to that, [and] I'd like to warm up to that. Since it is new territory for me, I'm really open to that idea; I think it's a good way to spread stuff."

"newsted"

a mon avis il a pensé "john steed" en ecrivant jason newsteed

batteur melon et blouson de cuir.

Faut l'appeler Jasonic, en mémoire de son temps chez VOIVOD, comme ça pas de confusion !

Ai-je le droit de trouver ça bien naze ?

Et pourtant Satan sait que j'aime ce mec !

j'aime bien.
sa voix est assez proche de celle du James Hetfield d'avant.

[mode Lax : on] and the north ? [mode Lax : off]

Honte à moi, je connaissais pas.

Mais comme je vois qu'ils avaient des liens avec CARAVAN, je vais m'empresser de réparer cette lacune du coup.

Je trouve qu'il y a aussi un petit côté Motörhead dans ce morceau.

C'est forcé et banal ce morceau...Je reste curieux quand même d'entendre l'album dans son entièreté. J'aimerais que le gars en aie encore sous le coude, que l'inspiration soit pas tarie, car il est sacrément doué à la base.

1er morceau bien agréable.

en voyant la photo je me suis dit qu'il vieillit bien le père newsted, avant de piger qu'elle doit dater de 20 ans

sinon le morceau se laisse écouter mais bon... c'est quand même pas la gloire

En tout cas, il a l'air d'avoir la patate le père Newsted

4 titres seulement, un truc qui s'appelle "Metal" , ça a un peu une saveur de lose.....

Je trouve que ça sonne pas si éloigné de ça d'un Death Magnetic.... ce titre m'a fait pensé à "That was just your life"...

Un concert complet pour donner une idée.

J'ai regardé quelques vidéos pas plus tard qu'avant hier, et j'ai trouvé ça d'un chiant

C'est pas totalement intéressant, c'est très bien interprété et tout, mais je n'accroche pas. Je trouve ça quand même mieux que ces trucs du genre IR8 et Sexoturica.

Effectivement, c'est propre et bien excécuté mais c'est surtout chiant comme la mort.

Voici l'album complet, avec un titre en écoute :

"Heroic Dose", a brand new song from NEWSTED — the new band led by former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted — can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The track comes off NEWSTED's full-length debut, "Heavy Metal Music", which will be released on August 6. Jason told Billboard.com the 11-song album will be very similar to the band's debut EP, "Metal", which sold around 6,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 62 on The Billboard 200 chart. "The EP was always intended to be the primer, a sampler of what was to come on the LP," he said. "It's all metal all the time. It's not all fast, but it is all heavy."

"Heavy Metal Music" track listing:

01. Heroic Dose
02. Soldierhead
03. ...As The Crow Flies
04. Ampossible
05. Long Time Dead
06. Above All
07. King Of The Underdogs
08. Nocturnus
09. Twisted Tail Of The Comet
10. Kindevillusion
11. Futureality

NEWSTED has been confirmed for this year's edition of Gigantour, the critically acclaimed package festival founded in 2005 by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. Also scheduled to appear on the bill are headliners MEGADETH, along with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DEVICE, HELLYEAH and DEATH DIVISION.

NEWSTED kicked off its first-ever U.S. tour on April 19 at Red House in Walnut Creek, California. The 14-date trek concluded on May 23 in Asbury Park, New Jersey and has led into a number of European festival appearances for the band, which is rounded out by STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok, drummer Jesus Mendez Jr. and guitarist Jessie Farnsworth.

NEWSTED is:

Jason Newsted - Bass, Lead Vocals
Jesus Mendez Jr. (THE NAPOLEON BLOWNAPARTS) - Drums
Jessie Farnsworth - Guitar, Backing Voice
Mike Mushok (STAIND) – Guitar

Je trouve les deux morceaux sympas. Ca casse pas des briques, mais c'est sans prise de tête, ça se laisse écouter.
