I've been watching more live music videos on Youtube lately as I'm still working on learning how to play the guitar. A couple of days ago, I came across the below clip of the bass solo from Metallica's 1998 DVD Cunning Stunts.
The first 1:45 of the clip before he starts in on the beginning of My Friend of Misery (also a beautiful bass piece) is an especially beautiful piece of music. Simple and sweet. Makes me want to learn bass too. Stuff like this probably should have been a clue that Jason wasn't really cut out for Metallica.
Update: I just read that last sentence and it sounded more negative than I meant it to be. He's a great bass player, don't get me wrong. It just seems that what Metallica does and what he did when he was able to do what he wanted are two completely different things. I enjoy both (well, I'm on the fence about Rockstar Supernova).
