(Metal Hammer) Former Metallica Jason Newsted has said he's in talks with the band about some form of collaboration - although he won't say what it is. And he's added that he's "proud" of his ex-colleagues after hearing their latest track Hardwired, released earlier this month.
He says of his current relationship with Metallica: "I've got a call with Lars coming up on Thursday here. I've been talking to him every couple of weeks.
"As they're coming out with a new record, there's a lot of stuff going on within the underpinnings of it all, or whatever you wanna call it. We always are in touch.
"Now we're actually doing voice-to-voice, which is nice. I'm hoping to be able to get person-to-person before long. They do have quite a bit to do here with this new record. I'm excited for them, man. I'm proud of them."
Asked whether his contact is friendly, business-related, or connected to some kind of collaboration, he replies: "All those three," but refuses to be drawn on details. Read more here.
