Only months prior to Newsted's album debut, there has been an addition to the band. A surprising one, but nonetheless good. According to MetalHammer magazine,Mike Mushok, lead guitarist for Staind, was approached by Jason with the proposal.He said: 'I loved the old school vibe of the Metal EP, and when we got together to jam it really felt great. Staind is taking a break for a while, so when Jason asked if I was interested in joining them to record an album and play on the upcoming tour, it was perfect timing. All I could say was, Hell yeah! I’m totally down for this'.
The upcoming tour seems to be going really well and with Mike on board there really is no question whether the music delivered will be of the greatest quality. While Staind takes a break from the studio and touring, it seems that Mike has found a terrific project to get his hands on. Since Jason&gang say that they switch instruments from time to time, maybe we'll get to see Mike playing bass.Anyhow, the show's on the way and for all the Newsted community out there, let's hope the tour will get extended to more European cities.It's still early days...
