Mike Muir loved Rob's playing so much, they created a funk band, Infectious Grooves. Based off what Rob played on Suicidal and Infectious Grooves, I knew he'd be completely underutilised in the trebleworld of Metallica. I was just glad a good dude got a great paying gig.
I genuinely think Rob was the only person who could fill the very obvious void that still lingered with the original Metallica guys. Jason was too far removed from Cliff in every way but Rob brings back the feel and vibe of Cliff whilst putting his own spin and energy into the songs. Genuinely nice guy it seems as well who gets his place within Metallica and thoroughly deserved the million dollar handshake he got.
The entire Lights, Camera, Revolution album is just fantastic. I also love how the ST in VISTA are the only two letters that are "lit up" on the marquee. 🤘
@@alanstrange2421 I've been a fan of this album since they started playing videos on MTV from it, and I only just noticed the letters on the marquee a few years ago. That's pretty bad. 😆
@LowEndUniversity I love Metallica specially their first 4 albums major fan seen the live amazing- but man Trujillos skills are nerfed down way too much- but yeah, I dont think funk bass works with Metallicas signature sound... also check out CITIZEN FISH song " WIDER THAN A POST CARD" that bass line is EPIC!!
Yeah man the Infectious "groove family cyco" is where it's at. That was the introduction of Brooks Wackerman also (was super young then, like 15 - drummer) who of course went on to Bad Religion and more recently Avenged. Suicidal has been a proving ground for some of the worlds best musicians ever the years
Tye Trujillo, Rob's 19 year old son is now the official bassist of ST, should look for some videos of him, he started touring with Korn in 2017 when he was just 12.
Rob Wright from Nomeansno is absolutely one of the top 5 bassists in punk. Even if you don’t do a reaction on this channel, I highly suggest checking them out. His tone is like nothing you’ve ever heard a bass sound like
I just started checking these guys out. I think someone here mentioned them, knew about them for years from a comp back in the day. Can't wait to see watch the reaction
I got to see them live on this tour when they opened for Queensryche. We got to the venue before the doors opened and while we were waiting outside a white "free candy" type van pulls up to the curb and out pops the members of ST. They setup a table with a bunch of pizza and had ice chests full of Pepsi. They were so nice.. "Hey! Come get some pizza and a pepsi!" They also handed out promotional a cassette with a plain white cover that just said "Taste Test" on it and hung around and signed it. Very unexpected and cool experience.
I saw them on the Quennsryche tour as well what was it 1991 maybe. I actually only went to watch Suicidal I wasn’t much of a Quensryche fan to be honest. Did the Quensryche guys bring a basketball hoop on stage at your show?
@@waylonbeasley1477 Hah, no. I don't remember any basketball hoops on stage. I was a fan of both, so it was a great show. I listened to a lot of ST while skating with friends in high school.. I even had a huge "Join the Army" patch sewn on the back of my denim jacket.
Los cycos! So happy to see a Robert Trujillo journey! This album and the next two were their best work IMO. Love to see you react to You Can't Bring Me Down. It still gets regular play in my life.
This song made me want to start playing bass back in a day, some...35 years ago(?) My friends played guitar, but when I bought this album and listened to this song I went 'I want to do THAT'.
6:59 made me grin - that was my same reaction the first time I heard this song (from an actual CD, even). It was not only my introduction to Robert Trujillo, but the first time I was truly aware that a bass player could tear it up like this.
Institutionalized and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow are "must hear" from this band. The former being more punk/hardcore and the latter being very melodic. Not necessarily for reacting to the bass, but just need to listen :)
If anyone listens to the song "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow?" for the first time, they definitely need to hear the FULL length album version with the epic solo and not the radio friendly shortened version used for the video or the emotional version (Which has it's testicles removed) The full length album version of the song is definitely one I go back to regularly!🤘
First 3 albums Are THE Greatest 3 albums Ever released. THE Pinnicle of music. The Best Punk album.Ever, The Best Crossover album Ever and The Best Thrash metal album Ever consecutive.
Also, ST has ALWAYS had great bassists, no matter which one you choose. Its super important to their sound. Luiche Mayorga, Josh Paul, Thundercat, even Robert's kid Tye are all monsters.
Mike Muir's true talent isn't being a great front man, it's being the world's best musical talent scout. That members section on their wiki is like a murderers row.
Suicidal Tendencies - Send Me Your Money - Transbordeur 1994 - LIVE Check out an awesome live version of that song. You can clearly see how he plays there.
You made me a happy man... Please follow this with their song "Accept My Sacrifice" or "Asleep at the Wheel" off their follow up album from 1992 ART OF REBELLION. He pulls off some pretty impressive playing on both albums... His tone on that album is far too underrated. I stood in awe when I saw Suicidal open for Megadeth in 92. Rob's part in Accept My Sacrifice he was front and center with his foot up on the monitor belting out the sickest sounding notes... When you hear the song, you will know exactly what part I am talking about. Cheers, and thank you!
Okay, I got one to blow your mind, the horror pops. Lead singer plays a stand up and she’s amazing. They’re horror punk rockabilly. Got to see them live back in the day and it was insane. Necromantix is wild too. Both punk with stand up bass that drives all the songs
I saw the Nekromantix open for Reverend Horton Heat in Seattle at the Showbox 11 years ago. Both bands have amazing bass players, but Kim Nekroman has such a badass stage presence and sings lead as well. It puts him in a league of his OWN!
For more Robert Trujillo you have to check out another band that he was in called "Infectious Grooves" I highly recommend their song "Violent and Funky" I have been trying to learn that baseline for years.
I REALLY hope you see this, you can find a video of them playing live in madrid 1993 and you can see Rob play it and it just feels so cool to see that it’s almost like you went back in time to be there!
From the beginning to The Art of Rebellion, ST was one of my favorite bands, Suicidal 4 Life even had a couple of decent tracks, I lost track after that, Controlled by Hatred and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow are also incredible albums
I saw Robert with Metallica in 2004, and he got a chance to spotlight some of his playing. The setlists online don't specify, it was probably a short medley but I think parts of "Anesthesia" were in there. Regardless, I was looking to see what he could do and was impressed. Very underrated player, and underutilized in Metallica.
NoMeansNo is a very interesting and unique band. They mashup punk with weird versions of jazz. The consistent members are the Wright brothers. Rob, who is the bass player has also played a lot of guitar in the band. What they always did was make the guitar and base play the same part. Like Rob almost played the base like guitar, even when they had Andy or Tom as a guitarist. For a while, the band was only duo of the brothers and IMO thats the most interesting period of the band where Rob wrote both bass and guitar parts. Wrong is probably their best and most liked album, but Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy? is the most artisticaly complex. The songs fully blend into each other. From this album is amazing the section before and after Happy Bridge. I would love to see rection to Madnees & Death, Happy Bridge and Kill Everyone Now listened in a single session.
This video was uploaded about 2 weeks ago on Jay Weinberg's Official UA-cam Channel - "Infectious Grooves "Frustrated Again" Practice Drum Cam". Infectious Grooves is a side project of Rob and Mike Muir, Jay's been jamming with them since leaving Slipknot and uploaded this studio session, Rob's in full mosh mode stomping around the studio like Godzilla in Tokyo. Speaking of Slipknot, Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande just up and quit their upcoming 40 Anniversary tour for a different project, he didn't confirm yet but everyone already has a good idea that he's Slipknot's new drummer.
Could you do an album review? Please do ...And Out Come The Wolves - Rancid I know you've already reacted to Maxwell Murder but that whole album is worth a listening
The common lineage that thrash and hardcore punk share largely comes down to Motorhead. If you haven't taken a look at Lemmy's playing yet, I highly recommend checking him out. He played like no other bassist before or since.
Robert is one of 3 bass players that got me to pick up the bass. Do Infectious Grooves - Violent and funky or Punk it Up to see him stretch his legs...
@@LowEndUniversity the bass on Violent and Funky is technically interesting but pretty much the same all the way through, Punk it up is a little more funky, funny enough. I've been into Infectious Grooves since 1991. Skipped my prom to go see them live for the first time. I could give you a dozen songs that shows just how versatile Robert really is. I was happy for Rob when he got the Metallica gig, but I was also just a little bummed as well...
@@TruckJohnson that's a actually a fair point about Violent & Funky. I tend to slip into suggesting tracks that I like as a song, and while the bass track is absolutely funky, it is very repetitive for the types of videos he does. I still think he'll enjoy it, though. I saw ST & IG at the old State Theater in Detroit right after Rob left (around 94-95) with an 18 year old Josh Paul on bass. I had seen ST several times (and a few other bassists) before, but the first time with IG. Josh is a badass, as well.
My first ever concert in 93 or 94 in Des Moines. Metallica, Danzig, Suicidal. Suicidal had to cut their set short because the singer slipped on stage, it was raining, and gashed his knee open.
This song was my introduction to Suicidal Tendencies! Saw the video on Beavis & Butthead, and even though this was 30+ years now I can still vividly remember just being hooked! Bought Lights Camera Revolution not long after, and after that I was a fan. And still am! Can't wait to see what you think of Infectious Grooves (love them too, of course)!
You mentioned Pantera. I saw Suicidal Tendencies Pantera and Exodus together at UC Irvine, California, for support of this album and cowboys from hell. The pit was glorious.
If you want to see the actual music video (and Rob playing’ for this song it is listed under ‘I saw your mommy’, a completely different song, but no one ever corrected it. Also I think you should do a video on Mastodon. Troy Sanders has a tone a lot of bass players beg to achieve and some of his riffs are just beautiful. Like Teardrinker, Ghost of Karelia, Where strides the Behemoth, Naked Burn etc.
Funk metal was a thing in the late 80s/early 90s (Primus was often lumped in with the scene) and Robert in ST & IG was a BIG part of it. This album & The Art of Rebellion are his best with ST (IMO, of course) & the 1st IG album, The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move, is a Robert Trujillo showcase. The dude goes off on every song.
Love the channel! So nice to see punk music approached this way. Knowing you dig walking bass lines, you NEED to check out The Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack
This album came out when I was in high school. I listened to it so much that the tape on the cassette stretched (if you know you know). Nice reaction, keep em coming. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin: Suave and Sophisticated Suicide Machines: Hey Blue Meanies: Smash The Magnavox 😊❤
The last time i saw him live was on a Metallica (ironically) tour before he joined. The headliners were Metallica and Alice in Chains with Rob Halford's Fight and Suicidal Tendencies opening. I think this was around 1995 or 96 almost 30 years ago.
Listen to Infectious Grooves. Its a funk/metal side project of Mike Muir from Suicidal on Vocals and Robert Trujillo on bass and Stephen Perkins of Janes Addiction on drums.
Check out “Scream Out” by Suicidal Tendencies. It’s off the Freedumb album after Rob left. Josh Paul plays bass on that album, very amazing & underrated bassist.
I saw them on the Clash of the Titans tour just after this was released. I've got a memory of Rob tripping over a wedge and disappearing from the stage for a song or two.
This song has fantastic bass. Was wanting to see your reaction to the bass fills. In terms of the Metallica thing, Jason also has mad skills as a player, that you didn't really get to hear, especially on Justice.
@@solarpoweredtree no problem. He was replaced by Greyson Nekrutman who just left to replace Eloy Casagrande in Sepultura. Eloy is the guy that everyone is speculating is replacing Jay Weinberg in Slipknot. Looks like ST is looking for a new drummer. Mike will surely find a great drummer, whether it’s someone with name recognition or an unknown.
Love ST, love Rob's time in the band... but if you wanna hear Rob funk out you gotta listen to Infectious Grooves. I'm solidly in the camp that believes that Thrash came from metal drummers adapting punk beats and/or punk drummers playing in metal bands. ST started as a punk band and personnel changes caused an evolution in their sound.
We always called it "skatepunk" or "motocross punk." But no, you gotta do _The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move, It's The Infectios Grooves._ Phenomenal, otherworldly bass clinic of funk, thrash like you've never heard. That's when Trujillo really opened my eyes. _Therapy_ has guest Ozzy. It's also how they met and later Rob played in his band. Every song. Every one. A _tour de force._ All the tricks. All his skills. Nowhere else will you hear Rob shine so much.
That 90s drum sound. Puffy from Faith No More always had some great snappy sounds that I love, but John Stanier from Helmet had that god-tier snare that's never been equaled.
Great Video. There is actually some video of Rob playing some Flamenco guitar I think during the Death Magnetic sessions and Kirk walks into the room and James I think says something to the effect of "You better watch out, someone is coming for your job". Rob is crazy talented and there is nobody better suited for the Bass gig with Metallica. The guy has paid his dues.
The Art of Rebellion and Infectious Grooves- The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move are two albums that really showcase Robert’s talents. Check those out.
Saw them open for Queensryche on the Mindcrime Tour. When he was announced as the new Metalica bassist I was happy as a clam. He's the best fit since Cliff.
Well, I don't know if he was miming or being true to it, but there was an actual played-on-MTV music video for this track, during which we get to see Rob do his thing during his solos.
Rob is a beast, for sure. Aside from Suicidal Tendencies and Infections Grooves, he has had stints as Ozzy's bassist in the studio and on tour. He's had a few other studio appearances, such as for Jerry Cantrell and a couple songs used for Black Label Society. He's also in Nickel Creek's video for "Smoothie Song", which is worth a look, and also joined Rodrigo y Gabriela a couple times for their cover of "Orion".
I'm rather shocked that you're not that familiar with Mr. Trujillo's library. Infectious Grooves, ST, Jerry Cantrell solo stuff, Ozzy, Black Label, Metallica... Robert is The Man \m/.
Hi Sir, maybe ya can consider Rob Trujilo's solo on Suicidal Tendencies, track call I WASN'T MEANT TO FEEL THIS / ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL on minute 5:13. Please!!!!
Infectious Grooves!
Soooooo good
Came down to say the same thing - you wanna hear Rob slap shit silly? It's the groove that makes your booty move!
I just saw a vid of Jay Weinberg rehearsing with them. Must be heading out!
Punk it up
Aladin Sarsipious Soulamnagic Jackson the third!
Got to check his stuff on infectious grooves insane
+1 The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move... It's the Infectious Grooves .... must listen if you want to see Rob's great early work
I came to the comments to suggest the same thing.
It's dat Infectophibian thang man! They're touring Aus at the moment, and I'm too damned broke.
Oh yes, please! It's so violent & funky!
Edit -->
Oh dang, I typed this comment before 15:43. 😅
Yeah, Infectious Grooves!!!!
Mike Muir loved Rob's playing so much, they created a funk band, Infectious Grooves. Based off what Rob played on Suicidal and Infectious Grooves, I knew he'd be completely underutilised in the trebleworld of Metallica. I was just glad a good dude got a great paying gig.
The trebleworld.
I love it.
I genuinely think Rob was the only person who could fill the very obvious void that still lingered with the original Metallica guys. Jason was too far removed from Cliff in every way but Rob brings back the feel and vibe of Cliff whilst putting his own spin and energy into the songs. Genuinely nice guy it seems as well who gets his place within Metallica and thoroughly deserved the million dollar handshake he got.
Trujillo is indeed overqualified for Metallica, or any thrash band for that matter.
Keep going down the rabbit hole it just keeps getting better! 🤘🏻
I can't blame Rob for taking that million dollar payout to sign the contract
The entire Lights, Camera, Revolution album is just fantastic.
I also love how the ST in VISTA are the only two letters that are "lit up" on the marquee. 🤘
Holy crap. How have I never noticed this?!
@@alanstrange2421 I've been a fan of this album since they started playing videos on MTV from it, and I only just noticed the letters on the marquee a few years ago. That's pretty bad. 😆
WAIT... no fuckin way , i have this on vinyl from day 1 and only just noticed. Thanks for that
👀OMG!!!!
LMAO I have also owned this album since it came out and never noticed that.
Check out Trujillos other band INFECTIOUS GROOVES .. Trujillo and that drummer were in a league of their own!!
Will soon - looking forward!
@LowEndUniversity I love Metallica specially their first 4 albums major fan seen the live amazing- but man Trujillos skills are nerfed down way too much- but yeah, I dont think funk bass works with Metallicas signature sound... also check out CITIZEN FISH song " WIDER THAN A POST CARD" that bass line is EPIC!!
Yeah man the Infectious "groove family cyco" is where it's at. That was the introduction of Brooks Wackerman also (was super young then, like 15 - drummer) who of course went on to Bad Religion and more recently Avenged. Suicidal has been a proving ground for some of the worlds best musicians ever the years
That drummer was Steve Perkins from Janes Addiction!

Coming up 100%!!
Hell yeah I forgot a out those guys! Awesome band
I just started checking these guys out. I think someone here mentioned them, knew about them for years from a comp back in the day. Can't wait to see watch the reaction
@@LowEndUniversity You MUST do "Rags and Bones" by NoMeansNo!
they have another project too, the Hanson Brothers
I got to see them live on this tour when they opened for Queensryche.

Agree! We need some international representation, and not just the US bands
GOOD CALL ON REFUSED
Institutionalized and How Will I Laugh Tomorrow are "must hear" from this band. The former being more punk/hardcore and the latter being very melodic. Not necessarily for reacting to the bass, but just need to listen :)
The institutionalized bass line makes the song what it is.

Suicidal Tendencies - Send Me Your Money - Transbordeur 1994 - LIVE
Check out an awesome live version of that song. You can clearly see how he plays there.
Just bought tickets to see Rob touring with Infectious Grooves in Australia!
I love ST and Infectious Grooves. Whhip Cream...
spread it all over my bought eye
I'm here for this infectiphibian thing, man!
You might dig The Art Of Rebellion album too, Rob is on beast mode there.
YES
Musically it was probs their best album.
Tammy Faye Baker...this song is about TV evangelist that rip people off! Love it, dope track
Hell yeah!!! ST was a favorite back in the day. I was just listening to How Will I Laugh Tomorrow a few days ago.
I haven't stopped listening to suicidal tendencies.
You made me a happy man... Please follow this with their song "Accept My Sacrifice" or "Asleep at the Wheel" off their follow up album from 1992 ART OF REBELLION. He pulls off some pretty impressive playing on both albums... His tone on that album is far too underrated. I stood in awe when I saw Suicidal open for Megadeth in 92.

ST is less popular but way better than Metallica.... yeah I said it, what?
This is not an untrue statement 🧐
Easy facts
SO true dude
They might not have sold as many albums as Metallica, but the quality of music and technical ability of the musicians is way beyond Metallica's reach.
They are mooore popular, but they does not share the same fanbase.
Definitely have to check out Infectious Grooves!
Could you do an album review?
Please do ...And Out Come The Wolves - Rancid
I know you've already reacted to Maxwell Murder but that whole album is worth a listening

Saw Infectious Grooves a few months ago in Sydney with Rob and they played this from the Suicidal back catalogue.
Man, the dude is amazing
My first ever concert in 93 or 94 in Des Moines. Metallica, Danzig, Suicidal. Suicidal had to cut their set short because the singer slipped on stage, it was raining, and gashed his knee open.

Also I think you should do a video on Mastodon. Troy Sanders has a tone a lot of bass players beg to achieve and some of his riffs are just beautiful. Like Teardrinker, Ghost of Karelia, Where strides the Behemoth, Naked Burn etc.
I saw Metallica and Suicidal. Together in Nashvegas,TN... it was awesome.. plus Candlebox
What year was that?? I saw that ST hopped on a bill last minute with them last year too.
@@LowEndUniversity Starwood amphitheater June 19th..1992....a lifetime ago... lol
@BlutoMindpretzel72 '92... they showed that time... when "You" was big.. :)
@BlutoMindpretzel72 I saw FIGHT at the little dance hall venue in Atlanta about that time... with Anthrax as the headliner...
Funk metal was a thing in the late 80s/early 90s (Primus was often lumped in with the scene) and Robert in ST & IG was a BIG part of it. This album & The Art of Rebellion are his best with ST (IMO, of course) & the 1st IG album, The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move, is a Robert Trujillo showcase. The dude goes off on every song.
I haven’t listened to this album in at least 10 years. I need to correct that. Such a great album.
Infectious Grooves - Cousin Randy
Infectious Grooves bro
Damn e everyone agrees lol
Love the channel! So nice to see punk music approached this way.
Knowing you dig walking bass lines, you NEED to check out The Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack
This album came out when I was in high school. I listened to it so much that the tape on the cassette stretched (if you know you know). Nice reaction, keep em coming.
Ned’s Atomic Dustbin: Suave and Sophisticated
Suicide Machines: Hey
Blue Meanies: Smash The Magnavox
😊❤
The last time i saw him live was on a Metallica (ironically) tour before he joined. The headliners were Metallica and Alice in Chains with Rob Halford's Fight and Suicidal Tendencies opening. I think this was around 1995 or 96 almost 30 years ago.
Great video as always! I want to keep requesting Alkaline Trio, Dan Andriano is one of my fav bass players ever.
In vein has a really great bass lines
Those damn blue collar tweekers primus woodstock 94 gotta check it out
*side note... Josh Freese fills in on drums on the next few albums following Herrera's departure..
Listen to Infectious Grooves. Its a funk/metal side project of Mike Muir from Suicidal on Vocals and Robert Trujillo on bass and Stephen Perkins of Janes Addiction on drums.
Check out “Scream Out” by Suicidal Tendencies. It’s off the Freedumb album after Rob left. Josh Paul plays bass on that album, very amazing & underrated bassist.
I saw them on the Clash of the Titans tour just after this was released. I've got a memory of Rob tripping over a wedge and disappearing from the stage for a song or two.
Infectious Grooves.
This song has fantastic bass. Was wanting to see your reaction to the bass fills. In terms of the Metallica thing, Jason also has mad skills as a player, that you didn't really get to hear, especially on Justice.
Love the vids and keep them coming! I still jam STS.
Check out the vids of his son playing shows w Korn when Fieldy was absent from live shows when I believe he was only 12 or 13
That bass solo reminded me of You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon.
Infectious grooves dude 💯
Brooks Wackerman, the "new" drummer for Bad Religion also came from Suicidal Tendencies.
You need to catch up, Brooks left Bad Religion in 2015 to join Avenged Sevenfold.
@@biohazard_613 wow. I'm nearly a decade late to that update. lol. appreciate it.
@@solarpoweredtree no problem. He was replaced by Greyson Nekrutman who just left to replace Eloy Casagrande in Sepultura. Eloy is the guy that everyone is speculating is replacing Jay Weinberg in Slipknot. Looks like ST is looking for a new drummer. Mike will surely find a great drummer, whether it’s someone with name recognition or an unknown.
Love ST, love Rob's time in the band... but if you wanna hear Rob funk out you gotta listen to Infectious Grooves.
I'm solidly in the camp that believes that Thrash came from metal drummers adapting punk beats and/or punk drummers playing in metal bands. ST started as a punk band and personnel changes caused an evolution in their sound.
Love Rob! I think it's so cool Rob's son Tye plays bass for Suicidal now lol. Maybe you should do a video on Tye Trujillo too!
Now do scream out by suicidal tendencies. Killer bass opening.
waiting for the infectious grooves video since I know it's inivetsble now.
P.s. Fuck yeah! Ever since I heard these guys as a teen, I've been rocking my hat like them!
I seen ST live on this tour, he was awesome, they opened for queensryche on the empire tour. Rob delivered!!!!!
We always called it "skatepunk" or "motocross punk."
But no, you gotta do _The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move, It's The Infectios Grooves._
Phenomenal, otherworldly bass clinic of funk, thrash like you've never heard. That's when Trujillo really opened my eyes.
_Therapy_ has guest Ozzy. It's also how they met and later Rob played in his band.
Every song. Every one. A _tour de force._ All the tricks. All his skills.
Nowhere else will you hear Rob shine so much.
Violent and Funky, Therapy, Infectious Grooves
That 90s drum sound. Puffy from Faith No More always had some great snappy sounds that I love, but John Stanier from Helmet had that god-tier snare that's never been equaled.
Great Video. There is actually some video of Rob playing some Flamenco guitar I think during the Death Magnetic sessions and Kirk walks into the room and James I think says something to the effect of "You better watch out, someone is coming for your job". Rob is crazy talented and there is nobody better suited for the Bass gig with Metallica. The guy has paid his dues.
ST older stuff is awesome!! some of my favorite music
Have you ever done one of these on the Minutemen or the Dead Milkmen
Did Minutemen awhile back here! ua-cam.com/video/4I9vCmI2stA/v-deo.html
ST has been through a few drummers. But they were all top-notch.
The Art of Rebellion and Infectious Grooves- The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move are two albums that really showcase Robert’s talents. Check those out.
You should do a video on Refused, "Summer Holiday Vs Punk Routine" has an insane bass line
Infectious Grooves🤘
Got a bloody nose in a suicidal pit in Miami a few years ago.
Violent & Funky Infectious Grooves. THE BEST!
Saw them open for Queensryche on the Mindcrime Tour. When he was announced as the new Metalica bassist I was happy as a clam. He's the best fit since Cliff.
Well, I don't know if he was miming or being true to it, but there was an actual played-on-MTV music video for this track, during which we get to see Rob do his thing during his solos.
Suggestions:
NoMeansNo - Big Dick
Refused - Summerholidays vs Punkroutine
Satanic Surfers - Don't Skate on My Ramp
Belvedere - Elephant March
Rob is a beast, for sure. Aside from Suicidal Tendencies and Infections Grooves, he has had stints as Ozzy's bassist in the studio and on tour. He's had a few other studio appearances, such as for Jerry Cantrell and a couple songs used for Black Label Society. He's also in Nickel Creek's video for "Smoothie Song", which is worth a look, and also joined Rodrigo y Gabriela a couple times for their cover of "Orion".
I'm rather shocked that you're not that familiar with Mr. Trujillo's library. Infectious Grooves, ST, Jerry Cantrell solo stuff, Ozzy, Black Label, Metallica... Robert is The Man \m/.
"Silence ......For all you SINNERS!" is one of my favorite bits in any song. 🤣
the lyrics of that song are a huge part of this masterpiece.
!Suicidal por vida! I grew up listening to ST. One of the original OG skate-punk-thrash bands.
Infectious Grooves you pick me up (just to throw me down) has incredible basslines through the whole song!
It would make for a great reaction video.
(1:25) reminds me of Higher Ground (Red hot style)
Hi Sir, maybe ya can consider Rob Trujilo's solo on Suicidal Tendencies, track call I WASN'T MEANT TO FEEL THIS / ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL on minute 5:13. Please!!!!
