Lar$ and Jame$ .
I think people tend to forget that Bob was a musician first, before he became an engineer and then producer. He played bass in his band The Payolas. He may not be a virtuoso, but he's no slouch.
Fun to see James producing Bob Rock instead of the other way around. Being a producer isn't about how well you can play, it's about getting people to nail their parts and offering "outside the box" suggestions.
For the whole song it would have been too much…but for a couple specific spots it could have been very cool. Although I like St. Anger I feel like the tones and overall sound was TOO raw and dry..and sterile. I get that’s what they were sort of going for…but they pushed it too far imo.
James: "Dude, he's our focking producer... and now we're going to let him record bass parts?" Lars: "Calm down... you remember how I mixed Justice, right?"
I consider Bob Rock a part of the band. Not only did he produce AMAZING albums for the band and bring out amazing new talents within them, he also played bass when they needed one in a bind. John Marshall, Lloyd Grant, Ron McGovney and Dave Mustaine are part of the band too. That can never be taken from them.
Love to see the progress, how they are just sitting there relaxed, looking in a paper and listen, coming with input now and then. And suddenly they know how it should sound, when they found the right riff, the right tempo etc. That creative process is fascinating.
It's funny cause when Bob was addressing Lars's track on one of the songs (can't remember, but the clip is in the documentary), he started to bitch about having to do it again.
it's payback time lars must have tought, whe'll show him in the mix .XD hahahaha trash can sound to distract from the bass. black album revenge sessions.
And he was kind of a knob to them all at that time. Seemed almost like he wanted them to fall apart and quit and just stop. I understand having to be down to the bone and be as blunt and as personal as possible, but he seriously pushed it.
I have this weird fantasy that they just said "fuck it" and made Bob the eternal bassist and he was still playing with them on tours to this day. He found his ultimate role in life and just went with it.
I can tell Rob is primarily a guitarist . However for the direction Metallica was going in back then he fit the bill . Also he did a excellent job the times he performed full gigs with them .
@@BusinessZeus As the musical connoisseur I'm sure you are . There is prominent singer named Rob Rock . Bob Rock filled in as the bassist . Do you see the mix up now ? Btw did you think I meant Trujillo as a primary guitarist ? I saw him for the fist time live in 1996 ( Ozzfest ) . I'm really not trying to be rude but I'm gonna let you answer your own question .
Rob Rock is the original singer for Warrior and Bob Rock is obviously this guy. Not sure why everyone decides to dog pile on a simple mistake? Hey it's all good.
Lars want that snare to make the album raw, different, like the guitars, bass and lyrics. St. Anger is an album to understand the situation that they were going through, not an artistical demonstration.
It's true it was scott smith the original one probably he had own his spector bass before he give it to Bob Rock how hard could be is bob rock playing bass on that record?
Damn, that's one of the earliest Spector Basses made. I think it's a late 70's-early 80's (Gene Simmons played a black one, that was one of the first ever built on the Alive II Tour), because it has the Precision pickup in the old type, weird shaped DiMarzio pickup cover. Those pickups are getting more n' more impossible to come by. I hoarded a few sets of 'em up back in the mid 80's that I still use in a couple of my older Fenders to this day. I betcha that bass would probably sell for 8 grand, maybe more. Not a lot of those made, at all. It's pretty much a holy grail bass, to say the least.
Since you've clearly missed it and have failed to notice over the years.... Lars is a giant idiotic douche nozzle. And "they just wanted him to get his part to their liking" is MORONIC when you are speaking to your PRODUCER and not your BASS PLAYER when it's said... do you get it now oh ignorant one? It's not even his fucking job to know or play ANY of the parts much less perfect them.
Compete ToDefeat you do realize they have at that point been with bob rock for almost 15 years (since black album) and he’s like a brother to them their just bustin his balls, stop being a sensitive pussy, it’s rock and roll for fuck sakes
@@isetta4083 why would that have anything to do with narcissism? Wouldn’t them infact doing that be narcissistic? They gave Bob a chance to display some of his musical chops on the album instead of thinking they’re better themselves anyway
All I could think about was how Bob pushed them on the black album to do greatness, but why couldn't he do the same for St.Anger. Now I see Metallica producing Bob Rock and it all makes sense.
I'm sure they asked him. They didn't want to bother auditioning a new player at the time, and it isn't as if if Bob Rock lived for Metallica. He produced a lot of artists. He never had any intention of being their permanent fixture.
It didn't help that the Spector bass that Bob Rock is using was previously owned by Scott Smith, who was Loverboy's bass player. So you had an 80's pop bass sound on a Metallica album. This might answer a few questions.
I mean bob is a good bass player but he hasnt been writing bass for 15 years at that point plus not in metallicas style, same thing which metallica did to jason.. I dont think any side is to blame it just doesnt work
Too bad Kirk wasn't there. He could have said "This is what happens when bass players haven't done their homework"
I think Kirk is sitting in the black couch in the back reading a magazine.
I'm pretty damn sure that those are his flip flops.
abark oh my gosh! thank you for that. that was absolutely hilarious lol.
abark
Lars did say that instead of kirk. "Why don't u go practice it"?
Kirk: remember what i said about bass players who don't do their home work?
Bob: i do my homework...i do man
Kirk, The Iphone Loser, Hammet?
In the USSR, Metallica produces Bob Rock.
That’s the problem lol
In Soviet Union, Produces Rock Metallica Bob.
In Bob Russia US(SR) Metallica Rock is produced.
In produces, Metallica Bob USSR Rock the.
The Rock produces USSR Bob in the Metallica.
james and lars having their revenge for those long black album sessions where bob made them play the same parts over and over and over again 🤣

Bob’s laugh when Lars told him to go home and practice it was fucking priceless
A callback to the black album days
Okay when Lars tells you "maybe you should go home and practice," you can take that to the focking bank!
Take it to the bank lmfao xD that cracked me up
Lars has no right telling anybody to practice anything ever!
“You can take that to the focking bank” Man I’m fucking dead as disco 💀🤣
Disco ain't Dead! It is in Witness Protection!

He is a decent player. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his playing on this album. The tone however is rotten....
Bob is legit
Seasoned lead guitarist as well
@@rodinowright6591 yeah, he’s good !
James: “Turn the distortion up a little”
Bob Rock: Turns on wah instead
Kirk’s spirit possessed Bob for those 2 seconds.

No wonder Bob Rock laughed at him

"Is that too gimicky?"
"Yeah."
Personally I liked It
It sounded kinda cool imo.
For the whole song it would have been too much…but for a couple specific spots it could have been very cool. Although I like St. Anger I feel like the tones and overall sound was TOO raw and dry..and sterile. I get that’s what they were sort of going for…but they pushed it too far imo.
Lars is the last guy to talk about practicing their instrument.
James: "Dude, he's our focking producer... and now we're going to let him record bass parts?"
Lars: "Calm down... you remember how I mixed Justice, right?"

0:04 Bob Rock is kinda sus.
I think it was at this point that Bob decided they were getting a new bassist ASAP.
Lol maybe
Bob: so let's try this
James: thats sound farty
Bob: -_- fine
James: can you add distortion
Bob: ok
James: timings off
Bob: (smashes bass)
Love to see the progress, how they are just sitting there relaxed, looking in a paper and listen, coming with input now and then. And suddenly they know how it should sound, when they found the right riff, the right tempo etc. That creative process is fascinating.
I always like these because you know the finish product and hear glimpses and seeing it be created is always cool to me
Bob's laugh after lars asked him why don't you go home and practice it 😂😂
1:44 The moment when the individual who pretends to be something they are not is suspicious
Imagine an alternative universe where it's an iconic Metallica riff instead of monstrosity we have now
James and Lars become Bob Rock..... *Oh how the tables have turned*
2:31 Lars saying to go home and practice it is hysterical.
Man this is hilarious. I dunno why they bothered with all this perfectionism, the bass was just barely audible on that album anyway.
It's funny cause when Bob was addressing Lars's track on one of the songs (can't remember, but the clip is in the documentary), he started to bitch about having to do it again.
Not true. Buy new ears m8.
Yup.
Uh and justice for all had no bass. St anger had bass... and also trash can.
Just because they’re used to him busting their balls
This was James and Lars ribbing Bob for how he treated them during the Black Album days, and you can’t convince me otherwise
1:43 Sussy baka
I think with that bass sound they wanted to match the amazing sound of drums on the album
it's payback time lars must have tought, whe'll show him in the mix .XD hahahaha trash can sound to distract from the bass. black album revenge sessions.
James and Lars are pretty much the entire band. Everyone else just goes along for the ride.
That creepy dr always lurking in the backround
And he was kind of a knob to them all at that time. Seemed almost like he wanted them to fall apart and quit and just stop. I understand having to be down to the bone and be as blunt and as personal as possible, but he seriously pushed it.
I can’t escape this madness 1:44

Bob right? You wrote that name wrong right? Robert Trujillo or Bob Rock, explain.
@@BusinessZeus As the musical connoisseur I'm sure you are . There is prominent singer named Rob Rock . Bob Rock filled in as the bassist . Do you see the mix up now ?

A guitarist playing bass is like a woman giving men dating advice. They know what they want, but they don''t give reason to give it.
Rob Bock?
Rob Rock is the original singer for Warrior and Bob Rock is obviously this guy. Not sure why everyone decides to dog pile on a simple mistake? Hey it's all good.
Missed opportunity from Rock.
He should of said to James "Do you want hear Bass?? ... Go play it"
Where was all this scrutiny when it came to recording the snare???
Lars want that snare to make the album raw, different, like the guitars, bass and lyrics. St. Anger is an album to understand the situation that they were going through, not an artistical demonstration.
Lars is the boss so there is no scrutiny
Sounds like a steal drum
I'm pretty sure Bob rock was atleast partially responsible for that.
If Lars says he wants his drums to sound like trash cans guess what? They are gonna sound like trash cans he owns Metallica
I love how in every single one of these videos they all look absolutely miserable and like they 're constantly second-guessing themselves.
Bang on. Nail on the head. Literally felt that for years could not put my finger on it
Yeah, I don't know how anything got done at all...
I believe that this Spector bass that Bob Rock was playing was owned by the bassist from Loverboy.
It's true it was scott smith the original one probably he had own his spector bass before he give it to Bob Rock how hard could be is bob rock playing bass on that record?
I love Jame's head shake at 0:43, clearly that was NOT an option
The face u make when something sounds farty....

I've played this exact bass... It sounded absolutely amazing. So much growl.
And as we see here, useless in the wrong hands
is it a short scale? this spector bass looks like the only spector bass i'd ever want to have..
Same bass was used for the band lover boy. I bet it’s worth way North of 8K
It's ugly
Bob “these guys are busting my balls”
Newstead at home with a heard eye roll
LOL!!!! I think I'm the only one who dies when James says " It feels like you've already been playing it... and are off"
0:29-0:32 Love this, James!!!
1:13 "is that too gimmicky?" Flash backs to Lars and Hets argument about "it sounds stock" lmfao
Lars; "Now let's hear with the snare drum turned up!"
Now metallica is the producer mind blowing 🤯 😤
You alienate your bass player so that he quits, then complain that the producer is filling in?
Since you've clearly missed it and have failed to notice over the years.... Lars is a giant idiotic douche nozzle.

Payback time...i always loved this part
Exactly
The irony of the band member telling the producer what to do! LOL! And yes, that was the first time I saw a capo on a bass too.
Metallica’s proudest moment.
The comments here are amazing but this is the one that made me burst out laughing
Iain O'C 😂😂 yes!!
“-Listen, you need to eat, breathe and sleep this fucking bass line!”

Honestly, people always talk about how bad the drums sounded on this album, but for me the bass is the most offensive sound on this record...
@@schnozz87 but yall love Cliff, who used a similar distorted sound as Bob Rock
Honestly those low notes are the best part of this whole video. The tone is trash don’t get me wrong, but it’s what they shoulda stuck with

Love Bob. True pro.
You hear that funny sound at @02:07?

Lars Ulrich: Why don't you go home and practice it?
Bob Rock: You should talk!
Yep...there's that gorgeous Spector bass that was used on all the Loverboy albums.
Really wish they would of left these parts in the film
I always wonder did they asked him to play bass or did he just sorta take that on himself.
I'm sure they asked him. They didn't want to bother auditioning a new player at the time, and it isn't as if if Bob Rock lived for Metallica. He produced a lot of artists. He never had any intention of being their permanent fixture.
Meanwhile somewhere, there's a weird bald therapist in a Bill Cosby sweater eating their food.
🤣
"WHY WON'T YOU GO HOME AND PRACTICE IT?" WAHAHAHAHA
When the producer gets produced.
Scott Smith’s bass that was originally Michael Anthony’s. Legendary
That bass line is the same as “Warrior of Ghengis Khan” by Bad News 😂
i’m a warrior!!!
I covered this song the other day on the bass. Prolly the best song off St. Anger.
“Why don’t you go home and practice it.” -Lars

Seems to be a boss covering the job of his receptionist at his hotel while she are sick at home.
Didn't know, that Jaime Focking Lannister can play bass too, he should join the band!
Newsted much watch this video & just shake his head
The awkward conversations where your musician is trying to tell you that your riff/drum beat sucks ass. =D
Bob wanted so badly to audition for the bass part.
I mean if you ignore the sound of Lars's trashcans, St Anger is a pretty good album
This project got so upside down the lead singer is being the producer and the producer is being the bass player lol
i think it sounded good with the distortion without the wah or whatever that effect was.
I think that is an envelope filter or something like that.
Imagine if they kept the distorted bass
He kept up with their shit for The Black album, and they talk to him that way.
I'm wearing the same pants as my boy Lars here
You know why producers bust balls...? Because it works!
Lars is dressed like a teenage girl on a lazy Sunday
