  • I'm sure, you might've wondered

  • What if Jason Newsted never left the f*cking band?

  • Hi friends! It's Andriy Vasylenko.

  • It's been 17 years since his departure, but some fans still can't accept it.

  • Even though a half of them were born after that...

  • Anyway, we're not going to discuss everything what had, could've or should've happened

  • Were the actions of Jason and the band right or wrong

  • We will focus on music, the songs unwritten, the album unrecorded

  • The lost link between Reload and St. Anger

  • Actually, I don't think that St. Anger would exist with Jason, even if he stayed for just a few more years

  • So, here's what happens in our parallel timeline.

  • 1999. Metallica decide to start working on a new album right after S&M, being inspired by the new experience.

  • The two new songs, “No Leaf CloverandMinus Human”, turned out to be really great, fans loved them.

  • Plus another one in progress, which is going to be a soundtrack for "Mission Impossible 2" movie.

  • Since the band is desires to release the album as soon as better, they don't want to get distracted.

  • Thus the Napster thing either doesn't happen at all or it does, creating a huge buzz for the LP.

  • Jason wants to make music

  • Jason: "When Metallica came to the point where they're taking months and months of time off from playing music, I have to still play music."

  • ...and he finally gets it.

  • He sticks to his traditional role in the band: creating bass lines and, occasionally, a really good riff.

  • However, I doubt that anything from Echobrain could've ended up in Metallica stuff.

  • How the album, let's call it...

  • "Not My Stain"

  • could sound like?

  • There're 3 songs by which we could estimate its general direction.

  • Stylistically, they match the trend Metallica's been following since The Black Album:

  • writing relatively simple yet heavy songs.

  • "I Disappear" shows another edge the album could have: alternative mixed with blues.

  • How about nu metal and other deviations we met on St. Anger?

  • That could took place too, to some extent.

  • The material Metallica wrote in Presidio, before James' rehab and the main portion of St. Anger was written,

  • hints on what was happening in their creative mindset around that time.

  • Do you remember that "Echo Chamber" thing?

  • Initially, it was approved by the band's manager

  • and Santa Claus Cliff Bernstein.

  • And later disapproved by Lars' father

  • and metal Gendalf Torben Ulrich.

  • I suppose, it could become the album's intro.

  • Some of St. Anger's material would definitely appear on

  • "Not My Stain"

  • I believe that Jason heard some of those riffs, just like Cliff witnessed the beginnings of "And Justice for All".

  • For instance, “All Within My Handsoriginates from Load/Reload era

  • and later they performed the original idea in an acoustic version of the song.

  • Well, how about the production?

  • Would our hypothetical album sound like St. Anger?

  • I don't think so. Maybe partially.

  • You see, St. Anger is what it is also because of Jason's departure and everything that it's triggered.

  • In our imaginary universe it doesn't happen, so the band could more-less stick to the regular sound'

  • we hear on "I Disappear" (note: regular, yet already slightly St. Anger-ish)

  • How about speed, solos, and all the good stuff from 80s?

  • Well, even Metallica's post-Justice albums had fast songs, such asThe Struggle WithinandFuel

  • Speed is present on St. Anger. So, why not?

  • Solos?

  • There's a distinct solo inNo Leaf Clover

  • a half-solo/half-riff in “I Disappear

  • and a few lead guitar squeaks inMinus Human

  • I tend to believe there'd be a little solo job for Kirk on the album, yet more than on St. Anger.

  • Nevertheless, he wouldn't remain unchallenged.

  • One of things that made Load/Reload beautiful was differentiated rhythm guitar parts:

  • Hetfield plays one variation in the left channel, and Hammett does something different in the right channel.

  • They most likely keep the approach in

  • "Not My Stain"

  • Judging from all said above, Metallica's 8th album, with Jason Newsted, released in 2000-2001

  • could be something special and modern sounding, yet keeping the recognizable touch of Metallica.

  • Well, this description matches all their albums...

  • Anyway, what are your thoughts? What songs could Metallica write for this record?

  • Remember, that's all just fun speculation, you should take it easy.

  • Thanks for watching. It's Andriy Vasylenko. #BeInMetal \m/

  • Marty: "Wow, this is heavy!"

I'm sure, you might've wondered
