Thanks for your comment, Scott! Glad you like Robert as much as we do! If you're down, you can catch other Metallica-related videos here: bit.ly/2ellAQl
Robert is definitely one of the great bass players of our time. If you love Robert and Metallica, check out this video of Nathan Fletcher and Kirk Hammett here: bit.ly/2oAEDtE
Agreed! Robert Trujillo is an incredible guy, to say the least. If you were hyped on this video, you can watch the rest our Classic Tales playlist here: bit.ly/2bbPXSV
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.
We agree, Alison! He's an awesome musician and a really cool guy! If you want to catch other Metallica-related videos, feel free to check out this playlist: bit.ly/2ellAQl
back in 2009 remember on my way in the venue corridors waiting to interview metallica, i was pretty much scared especially cause i would have had a face to face with lars. 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.

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!
Thanks for your comment, Fromage! We agree! Robert Trujillo is such a cool dude. Feel free to check out another Metallica-related video here: bit.ly/2ellAQl
Robert Trujillo is an amazing bass player. Just listen to his Infectious Grooves work. Outstanding! And very humble to boot. He deserves all the good things that have come his way.
I remember seeing Infectious Grooves open for Ozzy on this tour and thinking to myself, "Damn, that bassist is a monster!" Dude was so good on bass, it was the first time a bassist's playing jumped out at me. Happy to see his career take the path it did. Seems like a good guy.
That was fantastic. I LOVE how Robert Trujillo is just such a straight down the line good soul. He's always blown me away with that ever since I first learned about him way back in the day. Cheers, Jason from Ishibashi Music in Tokyo.
Thanks, Jason! Robert's definitely a one-of-a-kind guy. If you were stoked on this clip, you can catch more from our Classic Tales series here: bit.ly/2g3bxLI
Very cool story. Sometimes meeting your idol can be a supreme dissapointment as these are just people like you or I with the same foibles. Love hearing when it works out awesome and they ARE what they hoped they would be.
Epyx911 actually thats what i would like. Someone i would talk to. Like a buddy. Someone that doesnt act like a supreme god or something. I want to relate and talk with
That's amazing to hear, Thomas! And we think you rule too for watching and commenting! Don't miss out on any other Vans music episodes, here: bit.ly/2dxHegh
Been wearing Vans since 85' with my first pair being a Hawaiian Slip On with a Parrot ! I just finished recently a 32 days of "shoes of the day" where I wore a different pair of Vans every day!
I've been a fan of Suicidal Tendencies for 30 years now! I fucking loved Infectious Grooves, it's Sarsippious you dummy, turtle waxxxxxxxx..............
I had the chance to meet Rob backstage last year and he made me feel like a close family member that he hasn’t seen in a long time. He’s a super cool guy
The reason why I am playing this instrument... Thanks to him for bringing me into the bass universe...His style is unique and mesmerizing such a badass bassist I love Rob, he is my hero!!!!
We agree, nautaki! He's a really cool dude and a fantastic artist that we were happy to meet! Feel free to catch other Metallica-related videos here: bit.ly/2ellAQl
We completely agree, D.J. Robert Trujillo is such a cool dude and we were stoked to hear his story! If you want to catch more Classic Tales stories, feel free to check these out: bit.ly/2bbPXSV
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. :)
We're stoked that you enjoyed the video, Beard Punch! We enjoyed Robert's story too! Feel free to watch other "Classic Tales" videos here: bit.ly/2afns6w
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.
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.
The disclaimer was funny. Thanks Robert for sharing your story! That's awesome! Have enjoyed your music and shows for years! Always a great time! Thanks brother!
Thanks, IrishHarlan! Glad you got a kick out of this. If you were stoked on this video, you can catch more from our Classic Tales series here: bit.ly/2bbPXSV
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!
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.
Great story...I am very old skool metal, and was into Suicidal, bay area thrash and knew Muir started this band Infecious grooves, I was blown away by the bass on Violent and Funky, never ever realized it was Robert playing the bass. Insane skills without pick!
Yeah one of my ultimate favorite rockstars... Robert Trujillo ☝️🤟. Very kind, humble, and professional! Great respect to you my idol 💪♥️... and I love Vans as well ♥️♥️
that's sweet I was at that show Austin tx. 1991 Palmer auditorium we knew who Infectous Grooves where at least me and my friends. that's awesome I remember the lights going out in a weird time it wasn't for long the way I remember it. 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!
Been wearing Vans since 85' with my first pair being a Hawaiian Slip On with a Parrot ! I just finished recently a 32 days of "shoes of the day" where I wore a different pair of Vans every day!
Hell yeah I saw Infectious Grooves at the Powerstation here in Auckland, New Zealand. I can never forget Roberts bass solo that night with him crabbing across the stage. Classic stuff!
Thanks for the comment, leroy! Rob is a really chill, down-to-earth dude who has so many great stories! For more clips like this, feel free to check out our other Classic Tales videos here: bit.ly/2lDZDNN
I've just always thought it was so god damn cool how this guy was playing on his bass on his bed when he got picked up. Whole life changed man he's a hero. To me as a musician that hard work pays off.
I love, Love, LOVE The Infectious Grooves! And that album, "The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move" , in my opinion, is one of the best albums ever. From start to finish, ever song just kicks ASS and ROCKS! There's not too many albums you can say that about. Maybe a handful. This is definitely one of them.
Saw him play When he was with Ozzy at the Forum in LA...hell of show. When he's not touring he hangs out at Venice watching his son Ty at the skatepark and nobody hassles him
Glad that you enjoyed this video, Michael! Rob is a cool dude and tells the best stories! If you're interested, you can catch other Metallica-related videos here: bit.ly/2ePICdA
Trujillo is a beast! I've seen him with Suicidal, Infectious, and Ozzy! I gotta get to a Metallica show! I did see Suicidal open for Metallica back in the mid 90s. All good shows! \m/
Thanks, STOMP! Glad you're as stoked on this as we are. If you enjoyed this clip, you can catch more from our Classic Tales series here: bit.ly/2afns6w
Glad you enjoyed Rob's story as much as we did, Francisco! He's such a talented musician and cool dude! Feel free to watch more Classic Tales videos here: bit.ly/2fRqsv5
we all knew who you guys were on that ozzy tour....suicidal were well into legendary status way before that,and infectious grooves kicks ass to.....Robert you are a mighty mighty bassman and rock n roll loves you very much.
hi Rob i met u in spain in like 1990...i took you to find postcards n sold rocky some hash, then took u guys (suicidal,slayer,megadeth n testament roadies) to a bar in Barcelona. great to see your success with all those great bands since then✌👉👈
I like the way this guy plays his bass. His stance and presence is unique. I can see why Metallica picked him. It was hard to see Jason replaced, because Jason was so awesome too.
I love this guy.Hes a bass mad man.Hes down to earth and a good guy.
We agree with you, ashdoglsu and thanks for watching! Feel free to catch our music playlist here: bit.ly/2c8A7dc
Epic Musician and a totally cool guy =)
ashdoglsu duuuuuude your RUclips name would be an awesome Turkish metal band name!! \M/
Mike Mason. You tell me what Metallica member is good looking?? None, it's about their music, not their physical looks, but stage presence IMHO.
Metallion 1,968 In my opinion, all of them are beautiful. You wont find them beautiful, because you're a man, I suppose?
"it's okay Robert, Ozzy's so high right now he thought he went temporarily blind"
yea....that sounds like Ozzy back in d days
yeah he was probaly to fucked to notice hahaha
thats “snowblind” I guess
Snowblind
its a reference to Blind in Texas by WASP..lol
Robert Trujillo is hands down the sweetest guy in Rock.
Thanks for your comment, Scott! Glad you like Robert as much as we do! If you're down, you can catch other Metallica-related videos here: bit.ly/2ellAQl
Scott Patterson I AM AGREE BUT MICHAEL SWEET FROM THE BAND STRYPER IS SWEET TOO 😄🤘🏻⚡️🎸!
With how humble he is , truly reminds me of Brad Delp...
Brian May
Yeah hes up there with dave grohl
suicidal, ozzy, and metallica.
talk about a resume.
Robert is definitely one of the great bass players of our time. If you love Robert and Metallica, check out this video of Nathan Fletcher and Kirk Hammett here: bit.ly/2oAEDtE
You said it! 😁🤘👍
No fuckin' shit!, WOW! Way TOO COOL!!, right on!
Good story!!👍💯😜
Infectious grooves
this guy lived his dream ! he's such a humble persone and proficient bass player. Glad metallica picked him up, he's an all around great dude.
Agreed! Robert Trujillo is an incredible guy, to say the least. If you were hyped on this video, you can watch the rest our Classic Tales playlist here: bit.ly/2bbPXSV
thank you, i'll definitely check them out !
He's all those things you said except being in Metallica. He doesn't fit Metallica at all
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.

@monokhem true but I am very happy he's making the money he deserves to make with them. To me, nothing beats the old Infectious Grooves Robert.
Trujillo, aside from being a phenomenal bass player, is a hell of a storyteller. This was enlightening to listen to and a funny story indeed.
Jason Heavner I don't think he's seen your comment. ....
I think he's a decent bass player and the boys from that band Metallica sounds good. They'll get a record deal soon and be famous someday.
I think they passed the audition =P
I don't know, man. I just heard St. Anger and I think they need to hit the garage and practice.... a LOT
jeco F - Metallica will kick some ass just as soon as they get this guy Cliff to play bass with them, he's got some great ideas.
It'll never happen.
:-)
Definitely one of my favourite bassists and someone I respect.
We agree, Alison! He's an awesome musician and a really cool guy! If you want to catch other Metallica-related videos, feel free to check out this playlist: bit.ly/2ellAQl
Jah Lion pepsi sucks
Trujillo and Mike Inez - hardest working bassists
back in 2009 remember on my way in the venue corridors waiting to interview metallica, i was pretty much scared especially cause i would have had a face to face with lars. 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.
Man, I would watch an entire series about Ozzy's life hahahah. Told by every musician who worked with him.
That is actually a brilliant idea....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Osbournes It exist! XD
absolutely. And a CARTOON version please
A new Netflix reality show
They’ll definitely talk about him when ozzy passes
Rob's a cool dude.
We think so too! Thanks for watching, Ansdus! Don't miss out on our awesome music playlist, here: bit.ly/2c8A7dc
...and a hell of a bass player!
Ansdus. Agree.
I feel like Rob might be one of the only rock stars to not do drugs.
Widely incorrect
Angus Young, Steve Albini,Poly Styrene, Ian Mackaye, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss,Adam Ant,Morrissey,Frank Zappa,Ted Nugent,Henry Rollins,AFI,Rage Against The Machine all drug free... All big names who changed music without drugs.
Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris and co, they all are clean and sober guys.
most Rock Stars don't do drugs, there are some, but most don't
It is great to know that
You only hear about the crazy drug stories but for most of those guys it is a lot of hard work, long hours touring.

Robert Trujillo is an amazing bass player. Just listen to his Infectious Grooves work. Outstanding! And very humble to boot. He deserves all the good things that have come his way.
Rob seems like such a nice guy. Really genuine. I always like to hear him tell stories.
Dude I wish there was a tv show of rock stories in this animation style.
I remember seeing Infectious Grooves open for Ozzy on this tour and thinking to myself, "Damn, that bassist is a monster!" Dude was so good on bass, it was the first time a bassist's playing jumped out at me. Happy to see his career take the path it did. Seems like a good guy.

I think it's cool he actually got to be in ozzys band too
I've been a fan of Suicidal Tendencies for 30 years now! I fucking loved Infectious Grooves, it's Sarsippious you dummy, turtle waxxxxxxxx..............
I saw Suicidal Tendencies in 1999 in a metal shed with a concrete floor. My ears only stopped ringing last year.
Say it right! Say it with pleasure!
You all heard of hit single? Whip Cream? Whip Cream Put It All Over Your Body!!!
Ha ha, I just realized this guy looks kinda like a Mexican David Gilmour.
Duh where you being he's Trujillo you can get more Mexican then that and I'm proud of him.
+Mario Martinez lol FR Ese
Doyle LaCrua actually trujillo is mexican descendence
Either way, he seems like a cool dude.
Fuck. I can't believe I didn't see that until you mentioned it.
I had the chance to meet Rob backstage last year and he made me feel like a close family member that he hasn’t seen in a long time. He’s a super cool guy
Man, Robert nails Ozzy's voice! :D

What an amazing person, I never in a million years would have thought he would replace Jason Newstead.
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.

Metal and Skateboarding. My two favorite things.
he's definitely a story teller. Fun to listen to and also funny
That's so cool. He's a rock legend in his own right. How lucky has Metallica been to have 3 of the greatest bassists of all-time in their band?
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.

Great bloke and humble and he plays bass like it's his last day on earth
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.
I lost my shit when the insane cartoon Ozzy appeared
Great story...I am very old skool metal, and was into Suicidal, bay area thrash and knew Muir started this band Infecious grooves, I was blown away by the bass on Violent and Funky, never ever realized it was Robert playing the bass. Insane skills without pick!
This is a fun interview. Good audio, lighting and fun animations. Trujillo is a good storyteller.
Yeah one of my ultimate favorite rockstars... Robert Trujillo ☝️🤟. Very kind, humble, and professional! Great respect to you my idol 💪♥️... and I love Vans as well ♥️♥️
Suicidal tendencies was great. :)
Still are!
that's sweet I was at that show Austin tx. 1991 Palmer auditorium we knew who Infectous Grooves where at least me and my friends. that's awesome I remember the lights going out in a weird time it wasn't for long the way I remember it.

Hell yeah I saw Infectious Grooves at the Powerstation here in Auckland, New Zealand. I can never forget Roberts bass solo that night with him crabbing across the stage. Classic stuff!

Everytime you hear or see this dude, he is really soft spoken and pretty funny. Nice to see a rocker that doesn't seem full of himself

Rob is like the coolest guy ever
7 fun-incredible years together....❤️ so nice to hear!
Infectious Grooves is on the house... Give it up, Give it up, Hey Hey Hey!
Rob Trujillo, the new master of punchlines. I damn near lost it when he said he tripped over the cables.
I first saw him with Suicidal and he was manic then..knew he would make sum cash someday.
Damn... I thought for sure this was gonna be a story about him meeting me at Rock of Ages in Westland, MI. Thanks for signing my bass, Rob!
hilarious, his Ozzy impression!
I've just always thought it was so god damn cool how this guy was playing on his bass on his bed when he got picked up. Whole life changed man he's a hero. To me as a musician that hard work pays off.
I'd imagine Ozzy saying:
"We drained Texas out of power lads"
I love, Love, LOVE The Infectious Grooves!
And that album, "The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move" , in my opinion, is one of the best albums ever.
From start to finish, ever song just kicks ASS and ROCKS!
There's not too many albums you can say that about. Maybe a handful. This is definitely one of them.
Couldn't agree more. It's a masterpiece, and the bass is the killer.
hahaha robert is the best guy ever!
Saw him play When he was with Ozzy at the Forum in LA...hell of show. When he's not touring he hangs out at Venice watching his son Ty at the skatepark and nobody hassles him
And your one bad ass Bassist my friend!!! We love ya Robert! ^v^ ^v^

Trujillo is a beast! I've seen him with Suicidal, Infectious, and Ozzy! I gotta get to a Metallica show! I did see Suicidal open for Metallica back in the mid 90s. All good shows! \m/
Funny story. And then the cartoon of Rob cracks me up.

Robert Trujillo I saw you in the Ozzy Osbourne band in 1996 in Denver Colorado and I do remember the show completely
Metallica grew up & if they treated Rob like Jason early days they'd have found out Rob could slap hard (not just his bass)

so, if i wanna join guns n roses next year all i have to do is fuckin' kick axl's mic cable out?
lol seems like it dude cheers!:)
Mox_au he is going to be so wet in sweat that his main concern is gonna be keep his fat ass alive
"nurse! Axl is down....we need 1lt of chocolate milk STAT"
you could always find him quickly at the snack bar
For the last 20 years, people have joined Guns n' Roses for less than that.
hi Rob i met u in spain in like 1990...i took you to find postcards n sold rocky some hash, then took u guys (suicidal,slayer,megadeth n testament roadies) to a bar in Barcelona. great to see your success with all those great bands since then✌👉👈
Roman Reigns playing for Metallica? nice lol haha jk people
No,it's Robert Trujillo joined The Shield... ;-):-P
I like the way this guy plays his bass. His stance and presence is unique. I can see why Metallica picked him. It was hard to see Jason replaced, because Jason was so awesome too.
