NEWSTED EXPOSES METALLICA: "I Rescued Them, Then They Ganged Up On Me!"

Was Jason Newsted the literal “pressure valve” keeping the Metallica circus from exploding, or just the convenient whipping boy for James Hetfield’s ego? For years, the mainstream media fed you the “Some Kind of Monster” narrative, but Chris Akin gets the real story on the disrespect, the secret “ball-busting” setups, and the traumatic reality of leaving the biggest band on Earth. Why did the band really turn on the guy who was “first in and last out,” and what happened when he finally stepped off the “tippity-top” of the metal mountain? You’re about to find out why the “high road” is a lot bloodier than you think.
