Jason Newsted & Metallica Settle Legal Issues
Jason Newsted tells Launch.com that the legal squabble stemming from his quitting Metallica two years ago has been fully resolved. “We’re just now actually coming to a resolution on all of our agreements for our business things and stuff,” Newsted said. “It took awhile to pull all that together. Man, they sound strong, and I’ve heard, you know, reports from my little spies and stuff that everybody’s kicking ass and they’re doing some hours in the studio, so I hope that they can do it. I hope they can do what they say they can do, man. If [James] Hetfield’s determined, it will happen.”
