    • @juliegogola4647

      And they knew better than to shit on him like they did to Jason Newsted. And they DID shit on Jason Newsted, they admitted to it in many "fanzines" years ago. So yes LARS, THAT is why Jason "fookin left (or quit) the band". A person can only take so much. ANY long time Metallica fan KNOWS that the guys ALL shit on Jason Newsted. They did it at first as to NOT have it all a "perfect come on in position" right after Cliff Burton was killed in the tour bus accident in Sweden on icy roads. You COULD call it "hazing", you know, giving him a hard time, so that it wasn't all easy for him to "replace" the much loved Cliff, BUT, they seemed to take it all TOO damn far. Well, THAT is MY take on the situation. Jason was NEVER given the respect he had earned after years of him being in Metallica, BUT, REALLY, Kirk was NEVER really given the respect that HE earned either. BUT, it seems that Kirk was NEVER in NEED to be "on top" like James and Lars NEED to be. Kirk is kinda like the "child" of the "family" that is Metallica, and it SEEMS that Rob is a bit like Kirk BUT, he may be like Kirk's older brother in the family that is Metallica. Sorry, I'm a bit drunk now, BUt, that is how I see it. Kirk and Rob are the best looking guys in Metallica. My opinion. That stuff about Jason being shit on is true. Any longtime Metallica fan that used to read the music magazines KNOWS that. The guys would admit to shitting on him, so, they thought it was funny and Jason put up with it until it went on for TOO long. It was under the guise of respect for Cliff, BUT, that is only okay for so long before it is just TOO damn much. Jason paid his dues, and the Metallidudes still were being assholes to him.

    I got to meet my idol, Dimebag, years ago during a pre-concert meet and greet thing just a handful of days after Phil was declared dead the first time from his overdose. My buddy wanted to meet him and have him sign his guitar but didn't think he would. The record store that was hosting the event was playing Five Minutes Alone when we walked up to the counter where the band was signing autographs. We watched as Dime passed about a dozen people's guitars in the line in front of us without ever touching them and my buddy started to get nervous but I told him not to worry one little bit.
    Drag the Waters was playing now as we set the guitar down on the counter. Dime looked at it, picked up and my buddy told him, "I can't get that guitar to play like you, I think something is wrong with it." Dime started playing along with the song for about two solid minutes. He handed it back, signed it and told my buddy, "It should work just fine now" and shook our hands.
    The nicest person on this planet and the best guitar player ever. I miss you, Dime!

Waiting in the hall and nobody showing up, a door opens and james comes out with a face what the hell you doing here, then kirk, same, me start sweating, then rob shows up and smiling "heyyyyy man whaz up!!" then all went good, and lars was even in a great mood ahah.

    Rob's got a great sense of humor. Did you catch his Ozzy impersonation? He is great at imitating other voices. And he is a fucking BEAST on stage. His fingers move like they each have a brain. A great musician.

    This is funny as hell! The way they drew Ozzy is so freakin funny, his eyes all blood shot! I NEVER knew that Rob ever played for Ozzy, when you become an adult and work and get married etc sometimes you stop paying attention to things like that. Anyway, Rob is the best beast on bass, well, Flea of the Red Hot chili peppers is no slouch BUT, Rob is much more attractive. :)

    Trujillo is a beast on bass, saw him with ST and Ozzy and he elevated both bands with what he brings to the table. I hope to catch a Metallica show just to see him rock Leper Messiah!

    Saw Suicidal Tendencies in concert when they opened for Queensryche. We were all waiting outside the stadium before the show when this white van pulls up to the curb and guess who jumps out... Suicidal Tendencies. They set up a table with a bunch of pizza and some ice chests full of pepsi. They hung out and talked and signed autographs. Totally unexpected and super cool guys.

    Rob seems to be one of the most down to earth just every day live and enjoy life kind of guys. There needs to be some PSA videos playing in schools across America showing Rob describing his life story, because he would be a great inspiration to teens today that need someone to look up to.

That was sweet me and a buddy went to your tour bus after the show. unfortunately the singer was the only person we saw and he was too hammered to talk coherently I wish I could of met robert

    I was lucky enough to see this tour/show in NYC. Won free tix from Z1480 am radio (crazy good AM radio station which is so bizarre) The seats were right in the front and Infectious Grooves was killer! Ozzy was fab, of course, but holy crap, I miss this guy being the funk master that he was.... Pretty psyched his son is following in Rob's funky footsteps!

  • @nascarfan824
    @nascarfan824 7 лет назад

    I remember Infectious Grooves! In fact I remember the night their song "Therapy" was first played on Headbangers Ball on MTV (You know, when they played music) anyway, it was in a contest of best new song against...Hmmm, well I don't remember, but I remember Ozzy being on the show when the song debuted and when the Vee Jay said, "Vote for your favorite band" Ozzy kept repeating in a low voice, "Infectious Grooves. Infectious Grooves." Thank you Robert for rekindling this memory in my mind 30 years later!
