Jason Newsted Returns With Metal

Jason Newsted stepped into a spotlight after the tragic death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. He took over that spot on bass and was there when Metallica crossed over into mega-stardom. He abruptly left the band, but continued to make music. He recently returned to the spotlight with a new EP entitled Metal which is flavored in old-school Metallica that longtime fans crave. I sat down with Jason and talked to him about his new project, his paintings and the state of the music industry. You can read all about it here:

Anthrax: Grammy Awards, Cover Songs and Maximum Metal

Anthrax released Worship Music in 2011 and they were suddenly thrust into the mainstream spotlight. After 30 plus years of thrashing and headbanging, the guys were getting major props thrown their way from publications and fans and critics unlike anything they had ever seen before. It was a reassurgence in their career, although they were far from being on life support. Drummer Charlie Benante talked to me about their upcoming tour, their surprise Grammy nomination and lots of other interesting metal tidbits. You can read all about it here:
