Robert Trujillo

The prestigious magazine Rolling Stone, continuing with his interviews with the members of the North American band Metallica, had an entertaining reunion with his newest member, bassist RRobert Trujillo, who would replace the remembered Jason Newsted approximately in the year 2003.

"Joining the biggest gang on the planet was most intimidating. It was very intense… I had to learn the 22-year catalog of his music, as well as the St Anger album. We had never played this material all together, but I still had to memorize it because the first concert was going to be no less than in the San Quentin State Penitentiary"He explained.

"At the audition I ended up playing 'battery', a song that I knew only half well. I also played 'sad but true', 'whiplash' and 'for whom the bell tolls'. It was two days of audition and the first, I only talked with them… ”, He continued.
