I've never heard a single note of F&J. Must give them a spin.

I'd say "Fade to Black" off Doomsday is the best Iron Maiden song you've never heard  :laugh:

It's mad that Newstead was apparently the lead songwriter on Doomsday and came outbwith several bangers,but barely got a look in on the writing front on Metallica

I'm amazed he stayed as long as he did in those circumstances. I suppose the money eased the pain.

I had No Place back in the day, it was only OK from what I remember. The Elton John cover was an odd one. Never heard Doomsday, the awful, awful cover always put me off. I might whack it on in a bit.

Kerrang gave Doomsday a 6K (usually mac 5) review when it was released. Crying shame Newsted didn't get to write more.

Yeah I'd take generational wealth vs. being known for writing a few cult classic bangers any day.

His playing is savage on it, particularly Hammerhead and Metal Shock. I remember being stunned when I first heard Doomsday with how obviously talented he was vs. what his 'Tallica Family let him do in their house.

Trujillo is considerably more capable than what he does with Metallica too.

I'd still swap to a different fruit based drink for the ladies but ya, you were probably on to something.
