As per sources, the band was all against Newsted's decision to have a side project, and back in 2000, Metallica took a year's hiatus but Newsted remained firm in his decision to release his own music, which got him replaced, and was at a pretty dark place when he met the painter, artist and designer  Nicole Smith in 2002.
