It’s Jason Newsted’s Yearbook Photo!

Yes, it's former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, who served in metal's most popular band for fifteen years and on five multi-platinum selling albums.

After taking an extended break, Newsted is back in the game, fronting his new namesake band. Fittingly, he credits his guest appearance at Metallica's 30th anniversary shows for re-igniting his passion for playing "old-school metal."
