Aw come on Jason, shouldn't you know why you left? Well, the reason you left is because you weren't happy with the way Metallica treated you.

He said that he spent way too many years being the "new guy" in the band, and never really felt like a "full" part of the band. He also wanted to do some side music projects and James Hetfield was not happy about that and tried to prevent him from it. The combination of the tension was probably the reason he left.

Side project, Echobrain, while at the same time James didn't really allow him to contribute much to Metallica anyway. Huge Metallica fan and James is my idol as guitar player but the way you were treated was totally messed up.

I think it was because James didn't want Jason's side project to interfere with Metallica.

top, i visit't write with my left hand in any respect! yet I do an excellent style of issues with my left hand, curiously i'm left hand eye co-ordinated. Or top, whichever is the option of what top handers should be! I open doorways, carry bags and do maximum stuff with my left hand.

Reports say it was because of the direction the band was heading. Music and image change.

Yeah, Jason, in their movie, your ex-drummer said they learned a lesson & wouldn't treat anyone new like that again.

James not letting him working on his side project and he was unappreciated and they didn't let him write his own basslines,
