Jason Newsted, My idol and mentor, has left Metallica. Words can't describe what I'm feeling toward this great loss. I only hope that he can one day return to play the music he loved so much. Good luck in whatever you choose to do Jason. Email me with any thought you may have about this tragedy at: Bassman4LF@hotmail.com - Bassman Josh Secondo
