Im sure we all have similar reasons but im just woundering what about Jason you like besides that hes a bad ass bass player.For me it would have to be his love and passion for music ,hes always stayed true to metal,and just that hes a nice guy.
What about you guys?

I love Jason for many reasons
1. He's a cool guy.
2. He loves the fans and does things for them. Let's us know that he loves us
3. He's a great bass player and musician overall
4. He listens to and plays all kinds of music, not just metal or just rock. (a quality that is very important to me)
5. The sheer absolute love of playing music that he has and the ability to release so much of that music out to the people to hear (recently anyways)
So yeah. There's probably more but those are some of the main points

I dont have enough time to note down all the reasons why i like Jason but theres are just some that stand out from the rest:
1. He is a constant source for inspiration and great music.
2. He's a solid and great bass player who is very underlooked as far as his talent goes.
3. He'd do anything for the fans
4. Hes kind and caring and ive never really hear him say anything bad or nasty about anyone or anyone say shit like that about him aswell as he sets the right massage out to music fans and the public in general.

Jason has been my main influence for quite some time. I dig Jason, mainly because he is always himself!  I am the same. He is true to his fans!(check out the first issue of bass guitar, I love his column) Jason is considerate to all musicians. Instead of saying "left and right hands" he says "fretting and picking hands" He stuck it out with Metallica, who seemingly abused the living crap out of him the whole time. His solo work onstage is always outstanding. A hallmark Jasonesque moment in my book is from the Cunning Stunts video (Metallica) and they are doing Motorbreath at the end of the gig. At the end of the first verse when Jason goes hey hey hey hey hey, his mic failed. Instead of getting pissed off, he made the best of things and ran toward the crowd lip syncing the hey's and waving around! YAY! Dude, Jason rules.... accept no substitutes!!!!  |

Did his mic fail, really? I always thought he just walked away from the mic to hear the crowd doing the same thing.
But yeah, Jason is almost always singing the song onstage whether he's doing backup vocals or not.
And on cunning stunts he was always running up to the barrier to be close to the fans and to sing and scream in their faces.
Yeah, JASON RULES!!!!

Another thing that we've all missed is that Jason was a normal guy from a normal family who achived his dreams by working hard, if that isnt an inspiration to you then you dont have a pulse.

That's very true. In Flotsam and Jetsam Jason would spend most of his "free" time when he wasn't playing a show, writing up promotional stuff and sending them to every magazine and Radio station around. He basically forced the Flotsam name out there all by himself. |

No matter where Jason is doing his thing, it's fucking sweet. He's sexy as hell too (always a plus) Anyway, there could be a whole new site dedicated just to why we all love Jason. And we will always love him, up untill he's killing his bass on his damn rocker.  |

I can just see Jason being 60 years old and still playing metal on the same beat up Sadowskys.  |

I don't picture Jason playing from a rocker until he is way older than 60 though! and you'd have to be nuts to dislike the superb quality and tone of a Sadowsky.... I just love that wide string-to-string space on the five strings!
