Radio.com recently sat down with former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted to discuss his new band, NEWSTED, why he's now comfortable as a frontman and how the late NFL player Pat Tillman inspired the song "Soldierhead". NEWSTED guitarist Mike Mushok also addressed the future of his other band, STAIND. You can watch the chat below. NEWSTED recently filmed a video for the song "King Of The Underdogs" in Oakland, California. Directing the clip once again was Leon Melas, who previously helmed NEWSTED's video for the track "Soldierhead". In an interview with Revolver magazine, Newsted stated about the lyrical inspiration for "King Of The Underdogs": "'King Of The Underdogs' is kind of a personal thing almost. It's, like, the highest rated of the underrated. I think people are rooting for me to win as they do with underdogs." "King Of The Underdogs" is featured on NEWSTED's debut album, "Heavy Metal Music", which sold nearly 8,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 40 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was made available on August 6 in North America via Chophouse Records/Collective Sounds and August 5 in Europe through Spinefarm Records.
