Metallica photographer Ross Halfin shared some great unseen live pictures of the timeless metal band from the Monsters of the Rock Tour with Van Halen taken at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Yet, the fans with the eyes like hawk were quick to catch a striking detail about bassist Newstead.
Here is the caption by Ross Halfin:
“32 years ago today I was at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ with Metallica on Monsters of Rock Tour with Van Halen. I even took my one-year-old assistant Oliver Halfin, also known as “THE BOSS”.”
However, something about Jason Newsted catches the eyes of the keen fans. The bassist cannot be seen in any of the screenshots from the tour. Who would expect that unseen?
We compiled some of the comments written by fans.
Fan named Krispykinsle commented:
“Really? No Jason”
Another fan named mfscr74 asked:
“No Newsted pics…why?”
Another fan zacring responded:
“Cool pics of 3/4 of Metallica. 30 plus years later, … And No Justice For Jason.”
