With former Metallica members Dave Mustaine and Jason Newsted both on Gigantour this summer, there has been rampant speculation the two would jam an old-school Metallica song from the band's Mustaine era.

The 12th season of VH1 Classic's 'That Metal Show' kicks off this Saturday (June 1) with Metallica's longtime bassist Jason Newsted serving as the primary guest, and of course, show hosts Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine had to dig into Newsted's past with one of rock's iconic acts.

Megadeth's Gigantour trek is coming together quite nicely, with Newsted being the latest confirmation for the expected summer run. Newsted are currently off to a hot start with their 'Metal' EP and have been playing to enthusiastic audiences so far this spring. The group's debut full-length is expected later this year and the Gigantour trek will provide a great set-up to build to the album's relea

Jason Newsted has got the momentum back and he's not stopping anytime soon. The former Metallica bassist announced his musical return with his self-titled band, then issued the 'Metal' EP earlier this year. Now fans can look forward to the first full-length album from Newsted.

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted's new metal band is called Newsted. Newsted's new metal EP is called 'Metal.' Now, Newsted are set to promote 'Metal' with a U.S. tour beginning April 19.

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted is back rocking again and fans are getting the first taste of his new self-titled band with the just-released single 'Soldierhead.' The song comes from the four-track release, 'Metal,' due Jan. 8 via iTunes.

It's been a quiet couple of years for Jason Newsted, who most recently was heard contributing to the Ian Gillan-Tony Iommi project, WhoCares, but the former Metallica bassist is ready to make his presence felt again by launching an official website and offering fans an introductory video.
