They gel so good together. It's like it was meant to be. I still miss Cliff though, been since I was a teenager, just a little younger than the band members, but he was an absolute Beast on a Bass guitar. As much Hell as the band put Jason through, he was also a Beast on the Bass. Miss Jason too, but he's still with us. Long live the remaining Metallica Bassists. RIP Cliff Burton. Peace from Toronto ✌️✌️
Robert trujillo is a effin beast on the bass!!!! I've been playing bass for 5 months and can play some of his solos, and definatley his version of For whom the bell tolls. Dang i wish i was that good!!!!
I met Trujillo in France after a Suicidal gig. He had lost his wallet in the street and was looking for it. My brother had his bass with him and Robert played some stuff on my bro's bass. It was cool.
Why is this so funny? 3:22 Lars drum solo, i keep rewinding it like 20 times. It sounds good but its just really funny to me for some reason. Also James squeel 4:02
Looking back on this now, the coolest thing is that this didn’t end up being some short-lived decision from a washed-up metal band trying to become relevant again. Rob breathed new life into the band, and 21 years later he’s played on 3 studio albums, thousands of shows, and been Metallica’s bass player for longer than Cliff and Jason combined. He’s a real part of the band and not a hired hand like James said when they hired him. Such a cool story.
1983 the first song on "kill 'em all" .................the first time that music made me go nuts !!! i went like: what the hell is this!! these guys are playing 200mph..(if you were used to only:black sabbath,maiden,priest,etc,etc)it was so new and refreshing!!.....don't get me wrong here,i love every song on "kill'em all"but this "first song" in particular MADE ME GO NUTS !!!!
sometimes i wish rob joined metallica right after suicdal tendencies :/ sure jason newstead was sick on bass but nowhere close to as sick as rob and nowhere close to his skill level. rob played orion live with ease. something that hadnt been done since cliff burton was with them. huge props to rob and metallica for grabbing him before somebody else did.
Am not even the biggest Metallica fan in the world. They're ok now but Jason was more Metallica than Rob for sure. A much more suited fit was Jason in the band. Rob is nothing special..
I love the moment when Rob is happy like a lil' kid when he choose 'Hit the light' - he repeated it a few times with smile on his face ;d and the "west side G" thing is funny also ;d
Well you know what they say... You're as old as you feel you are, and Metallica sure are young! The energy they have at their concerts is unique, how PERFECTLY they perform their songs! Not to mention their constantly increasing musicianship! Kings of Metal, the end. :D
The guitar James is using is the original model of the ESP Iron Cross. What he's using here is a Gibson Les Paul, just modified the way he liked. Esp made a copy and that's the Iron Cross you see now on Esp's site.
Robert fits the band so completely well.......:-) He seems to be a very friendly,nice man:*)))))) The way he plays guitar is very funny....when he is almost in a squatting position!!!Love that!
He deserves it. Awesome. There are a lot of references to Cliff Burton so I just hope they sort themselves out now and get back to some semblance of the band they used to be when he was their bass player.
I remember seeing an old MTV bit where the band introduced themselves in a similar way - like a bunch of drunk headbangers hanging out. I think with the arrival of a new member to the band, they are parodying themselves from 15-20 years ago :D
The day that never comes is ok when it comes to the 'Accoustic to Electric' songs. And if you don't know what that means, it's the 4th song from RTL, Master, and Justice. Fade to Black, Sanitarium, and One. They're all amazing but the day that never comes is probably the worst.
@linearrecords12 I agree, but I think they didn't because used Jason as a grieving device for Cliff. Plus, in documentaries the band said they never really communicated well with him. However, I wish he would have been allowed to do Ecko Brain & Metallica ]=
i think hes rather underrated because he knew a lot about classical music (which is kinda the source of all good organised music) an implemented such stuff into metallicas music... also james or lars i forgot who said that he was by far the most gifted musician of the band
No, but when Rob got the job, it was on there. @ 8:54, you here Lars says "Can you insert a piece of that, like right here, now?' and @ 8:58 James "Hi were back, now you know what we we're talking about" They were joking about putting the clip of Rob joining in this interview.
its called a "pinch harmonic" when you pick the string you tap the side of your thumb on the string right after you've picked. browse up some videos to see how its done
Yes the ESP KH signature series where KH stands for Kirk Hammet. The one that is simular to the one he uses on stage is the ESP KH-2 (the vintage version is the exact same) it is heavily overprized cause he's awesome plus he get share of the income, and signature guitars is always overprized. The colorful guitar he uses on stage though is an ESP M-II. Wich actually is his favourite though
@fletche1994 Metallica @ Big 4 in Sweden last month were amazing. Lars played it properly, the fills, James vocals, Kirk and Rob awesome as always. The Setlist was very cool opening with "Hit The Lights" straight into "Master Of Puppets" then "The Shortest Straw" to "Seek and Destroy" - "Sanitarium" and "Ride The Lightning" followed. Easily the best opening combinations I've seen from Metallica recently, they played them properly not butchered, crowd energy levels sky-rocketed with that combo.
HOHOHO imagine a for Whom The Bell Tolls intro with the picking attack of Jason, Robert's fast galloping and slapping plus the fingering fuck of Cliff... Shit! best bass trio ever
