Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted is about to get all arty – with his first exhibition of paintings. This happens at the Micaela Gallery in San Francisco, from May 6 to June 27.

“I am possessed by an undercurrent of kinetic energy that I have channelled through pure artistic creation for as long as I can remember, beginning with childhood drawings and songs, followed by teenage rock and roll based ideas, and ultimately, internationally recognized musical recordings and live performances.
