Kirk Hammett says, not only that Jason Newsted will be able to be part of the induction, he may also be able to reunite with the band on stage for one night only. Jason might play bass for a song at the Hall of Fame with Metallica.

I wonder why Metallica picked Flea to induct? That’s kind of a weird choice. What no Dave Grohl, no Lemmy Kilmister or Kerry King of Slayer to induct the band? Why Flea? I’m sure the band Metallica will explain their decision on Flea soon.

Like it said an earlier report, Metallica tried asking Dave Mustaine to join them on stage at the Hall of Fame, but Dave declined the offer due to a major Megadeth tour and recording in the studio for new album, although Dave was flattered he was asked.
