I'm as big of a Metallica fan as they come, but I disagree. Metallica tracks are fairly weak on the bass. One of the reasons Newsted left is because he felt his creativity as an artist was limited by the band/producers.i think this has been done before but alot of metallica and ministry wangs.
yeah. for "black" did they open him up more? i know that's where he gets his one and only song credit on My Friend of MiseryI said this earlier to some degree. I heard when he joined the band (and justice) they recorded his tracks really quiet because he was the new guy and not cliff burton
