Speaking with Ultimate Guitar, former Metallica bassist offered his thoughts on the band's latest album, Hardwired...To Self Destruct, and bassist Robert Trujillo's playing.
Newsted: "The album is a bit different than the other efforts that led up to it. Robert's a great fuckin' bass player and he's always been a great bass player. I've known him for 25 years at least. He's always been good and I owned all the Infectious [Grooves] records and I wore Infectious t-shirts. I'm down. That guy has always got my respect. He got in there and he can hang with those guys and make it sound like it does? Peace, peace, power to you. This last [album], I feel they've kinda come back into stride and there's something of substance here."
