This is the entire of the drinking song. Of course, on
the rest of the track, he does other things, too. Some
call Jason Newstead a simple/bad bass player. But what most
people don't realize is that he didn't write all of the
stuff on the Black Album. As is revealed on their ICON
show, their porducer Bob Rock helped them with the bass
lines when they didn't yet have an actual bassist yet.
The show even showed Bob Rock sitting with them in studio,
with a BASS in hand. But if you think I'm wrong and/or stupid,
