Re: New Guy in Metallica

Did I just see him in a Nickle Creek video?

Mom had a country video show on and they were showing some new vids. This Nickle Creek video came on and I could swear it was that dude!

Am I going nuts, or what?

doubtful, but you never know.

the new bassist, Robert Trujillo, was in Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves, but I'm not sure what else he did before Metallica picked him up.

Incidentally, I love the way he crouches and holds his bass. Almost like he's playing an upright traditional bass.

*edited because I spelled homie's name wrong, even after looking at the liner notes. derrr.

he was playing bass for ozzy.

shit, I forgot Ozzy.. I should consult allmusic.com more often.

but most importanly he played bass in suicdal

Robert is a badd-ass, he plays like a motherfucker.
Latinos, Represent!!!!!

According to Allmusic, he's

Worked With: Ozzy Osbourne Mike Bordin Infectious Grooves Zakk Wylde Adam Siegel Mike Muir Suicidal Tendencies Brooks Wackerman Dean Pleasant Paul Northfield Jerry Cantrell Timothy John Ramirez John Sinclair German Villacorta Rocky George Dean Pleasants Cyco Miko Danny Saber Thom Panunzio

sounds like a good resume.

he looks like he belongs in Korn

I take Robert Trujillo as a bassist quite seriously. He's done some very nice work for Ozzy, he's dedicated to music, and by golly, he's played 8 stringers live before. He might not pick the best bands to play with, but that's his decision, and musicians should respect each others' professional choices.
