Newsted Says His New Band Can Kick Metallica’s Ass
Jason Newsted tells MTV News that Voivod, the veteran Canadian thrash band he recently joined, can kick Metallica’s ass. “I have to show respect to them, but at the same time I can offer the challenge,” the former Metallica bassist said. “I’d like to play on the same stage, Voivod and Metallica, and we’re gonna see who’s what. That’s really important to me, as a fan of Metallica, to see them come on and kick ass again. But also at the same time, I think that I’m in a band now that can kick their ass. So that’s where it’s at, guys. The offer’s out on the table.” Read more.
