    Rob is so humble and talented musician. He has been with Metallica for 20 years now, that is longer than Cliff and Jason together. Rob perhaps a kind of saved Metallica from a self destruction and pushed it the next level. Thank you Robert!

      He might of been a positive influence but he was the safe option back then, Hes never really fit into the band and they definitely never reached a next level. DM was decent but Hardwired left a lot to be desired and this album doesn't sound like a step forward at all.

    My favorite thing is that he refers to James, Kirk, and Lars as his "friends." That's a very important dynamic to have in a band, especially for guys at their age. It really feels like they're all inspiring the best in each other these days.

    Commenting on Kirk's interview here because they turned his comments off because they want to protect him rightfully so. I've never seen Kirk open up so much, especially about his relationship with Rob, I didn't realize close the two guys were, and how much of an intimate bond of trust they have. Listening to how Rob helped Kirk through the pandemic was beautiful.

      They won't let Rob contribute to song composition, his role is to ride James and Lars just like Kirk. Rob knows his role and got no problem with that, that's why he is still around the band. He even said he have a riff galore that never got listened to, and he's ok and I'm ok with that because most likely it doesn't sound or will never sound like a Metallica song.

      I can't wait for the honeymoon phase to be over. That's when we can actually discuss whether or not if it actually holds up.

    Rob is such an asset to this band. His influence should not be understated. He is exactly what this band needed and is a shining light. He knows his role. He is pure class.

    Can't wait for Kirk's and Lars' episodes!
