Jason Newsted was born on March 4, 1963 in Battle Creek, Michigan. His influences for music and performing are all of the bass players in the bands, Kiss, Rush, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Yes. His first jobs before becoming Metallica's bass player were a busboy and a dishwasher. Like Kirk, Jason had a band before he came to Metallica, which was called "Flotsam & Jetsam". Jason got his first bass when he was 13. He played it, then got bored of it. After 5 years, he regained his interest and started to play seriously. He quit school to join his first band "Flotsam & Jetson". He played at clubs and concerts and released an album with the band. Then along came James, Lars and Kirk feeling sad that they lost their bassist, Cliff Burton, in a bus accident. They were looking for a replacement. They asked Jason to try out, mainly jam and spend time with them. Then the big news came, James asked Jason if he would join Metallica. Jason was so happy that in response to James' offer, he screamed at the top of his lungs right in the middle of a restaurant. Now, the true Metallica was born!
