24 Feb 2003 saw Metallica as a full unit again when they named Robert Trujillo
as their new four stringer. |
|
| "We are so psyched and proud to share the
news that we are welcoming another brother to the family" Lars Ulrich |
|
| "We've all known, and have
been huge fans of Rob since the early '90s when he was a part of the legendary
Hardcore / Metal band Suicidal Tendencies. We got to know Rob when we played together with Suicidal in
Europe 1993, during the 'Nowhere Else To Roam' tour. We were impressed by Rob's
roaring bass style and his very cool, unique vibe onstage, things we got to see
again during the '94' "Summer Shit" tour when Suicidal joined forces
with us. |
 |
| "My visions of Rob are
when we did Summer Shit 94 Tour with Suicidal, and Danzig. I remember being
blown away by the fierce-ness and seeing Rob, as this monster on bass. He brings
an awesome new strength to the band, and makes us step up. describes James. |
| "Rob was also one of the
masterminds behind the 90' cult band Infectious Grooves. He started Infectious'
together with Mike Muir, the lead singer of Suicidal. Infectious' delivered classic album titles like 'Plague That
Makes Your Booty Move.' He then he joined the Godfather of Metal, Ozzy Osbourne
in '96.
|
 |
"I must
say Ozzy, Sharon, Zakk, Mike Bordin, all the team and family members
mean the world to me. Love and respect, my family 100 percent. I am very
stoked, excited and look forward to my new journey with my Metallica
brothers". STEP UP! reveals a pumped up Rob Trujillo. |
| "We've taken a long time
to find the right bass player for us. Obviously being a good bass player is
important (!!) but it was also very important that whoever we found would fit in
as a family member, a brother with a huge vibe. We wanted a fourth band member,
not just a new bass player. |
|
| "When Rob came to San
Francisco the first time and jammed with us, we all felt this incredible magic
between the four of us. It was just something that we could not describe, we all
just knew it. Bob Rock told us right after the jam, that it sounded like a
fucking 747 taking off!! |
| "I am soo fucking excited
to be a full unit again", says Lars. 'The last two years of just being the 3 of
us have taught me soo much about myself, about James and Kirk and about
Metallica. And to welcome Rob into Metallica in 2003 after all the growth and
soul searching we've been
through for the last two years, feels so fucking awesome. Being at full strength
again is at this moment indescribable. |
|
| "We're fuckin' bristling
with new energy, new respect, new vibes and a huge fucking appetite for
everything Metallica is. Having Rob here, and him choosing to become a part of
our family, will enable us to get to yet another level. So welcome Rob!" |
