That impersonation of Ozzy is flawless 😂
Hilarious!
Way too comprehensible 😂 but hilarious
Omg that was great 😂
When they were touring and Ozzy was hammered, Rob had to call Sharon and leave a voicemail / pretend he was Ozzy and he was going to bed at 9pm and had brushed his teeth :D
I can only imagine what he would say hahahahaha
I thought the exact same thing killer impersonation lol
It's so weird how he's been their bass player longer than both Cliff and Jason combined. It still feels like he's the new guy.
Well, he feels like it to you. For me, this is the Metallica bassist. He has been in Metallica as long as I live
It's probably bcs of his little notable contribution in songs
@@nikitabeskov8357 that goes for jason as well, in terms of contributions. cliff was pretty shortchanged in credits unfortunately.
@@AlldayAudio everybody talks about Jason's contributions(blackened riff, my friend of misery, backing vocals), but nothing like that for Rob, hence he is still the "new guy"
@@nikitabeskov8357 surely i am not stating that jason had "more" contributions. i am actually stating that both of them contributed minimally and both called the new guy ha. (i'm 42. grew up with jason, he felt like the new guy then. and i still refer to rob as their new bassist, 20 yrs on ha)
Its quite astonishing how Metallica had 3 bassist with outterworldly skills
Weird idea, but imagine the kinda music that Cliff, Jason, and Rob could've made together
True. Watching the documentary it was to me, as an old bass player shocking to watch how bad the other established bassists were in that setting, on the auditions.
Why? That’s the gig dude. That’s the given that one must be
@@Soulful_Sorrow 3 bass players in one room? no thanks
Otherworldly*
Rob is exactly what the group needed. Even more so his personality than his music. He was a stable, positive, beacon of light for them. Oh, and he plays a means bass as well.
Well said
And he's big enough to make sure no one does anything stupid.
The fact that Metallica gave Rob 25% of everything says a lot to me.
I am 100 percent sure that Jason also got 25 percent of Metallica’s earnings .
@@amr4336 it's probably more complicated than that. I would guess that neither of them gets anything from the Cliff period.
@@doublestrokeroll Well said!
@@doublestrokeroll it’s very complicated!!!
He probably gets 25% of Live and royalties from his relevant parts which would make him rich forever, but he’s not taking James and Lars money.
@@Xplora213 He's got song writing credits on some stuff. Basically you have to check each album he's on to see which songs he gets credit for. He'll get royalties on that stuff. Probably gets some cut of merchandise as well but you never know. Really just depends on the contract he has with them.
He nailed the Ozzy impression 😂
he didn't say "fuckin burrr eeee toe" though.
hahahahaha that’s true
It's a tough position, to be the "replacement" player in a band... and I can only imagine it's to the nth degree in a band as huge as Metallica. But Trujillo is just such an affable, likable guy, and such a talent. He's earned everything that's come his way.
It's like he's just happy to be there, but at the same time so unaffected by it all. Seems to be such a legitimately nice guy.
In a way, he kind of stepped in at the best time that he could have into a band that was able to accept a new member. Metallica has been very broad in it's music writing since the Black Album that Rob never really had to replicate anyone else's writing style. If the band would have wanted a direct replication of any member, that would have been much more difficult.
@@Danlovestrivium Musically, I agree with you. But, more than that, Lars and James had grown up a lot from when Jason joined the band. I believe they were able to appreciate Roberto's contributions in a way they could never appreciate Jason's. They always kept Jason at arm's length, and I think that's just immaturity. They've said as much in interviews. They felt like Jason was "lucky" to be part of Metallica. It seems, now, Metallica feels lucky to have Trujillo.
I dont think it was tough at all for him. They treated him better than they ever did Jason. He walked into a great situation, where they had learned to respect and acknowledge their new member, instead of hazing and shitting on their new bandmate.
Rob is too good of a bass player to follow licks. I'm extremely happy for him, don't get me wrong. But I've seen him live when he played with Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves and his live game is ON POINT. A literal beast on that bass.
In Metallica, you wouldn't really know it
It's a bittersweet situation for his longtime fans.
And I wish him the best.
But man, what I wouldn't give to see that magic one last time.
Rob is so precious. I just wanna hug him…and brush his hair.
My grandma was half Native American. I miss her so much.
What a blessing for the band and fans to find someone like rob not only on a musical level but as a person as well
I've been a Robert Trujillo fan since his Infectious Grooves and Suicidal days.
He doesnt really get to show his true beast skills much in Metallica but he is an astonishing bass player. He can slap and play funk better than any other metal bass plauer, that's for damn sure.
Sharon - "Noooo, you must sign here to relinquish your royalty rights to your music! If you dont want to you can F*** off back home and we'll rerecord your parts"
Metallica - "Congratulations, youre in the band! Heres a million dollars"
lololol More than that son!
I'm sure he's not really saying what Sharon actually said to him how much she curse at him probably wanted to take everything from after all this is SHARON
@James : Actually Rob was handed a briefcase with one mill in cash. That part is correct but hard to say "exactly" what he is paid.
Always loved Robert Trujillo as a teenager watching him jam out hard with Suicidal Tendencies....🤘🤠🤘
Cliff - Most iconic
Jason - Most beloved
Robert - Most experienced
Don't forget! Ron- The first
@@olivershagnasty6415Most first
I like what you said about Jason. It is so true. He is still my favorite.
Every single one of the bass players happened to land their gig in the best "Metallica" time frame for their qualities. Cliff, at the very beginning, bringing music knowledge and being (almost) the leader. Jason fit right in the "I'm fkn angry and I'll tear the venue down" era with his vocals and finally Rob as the guy that was needed to reignite the spark. Or at least that's my view on it
That's why I think Ozzy's Down to Earth album was one of his best in terms of sound alone. Rob's powerful sound along with Wyld's guitars made that album heavy as hell, even on some of the softer ballads
Cliff was the guy at the right time.
Jason was the guy at the right time.
Rob was the guy at the right time.
All very different circumstances with each of the latter filling different shoes for different ressons. But Rob conpletes the matured version of Metallica.
Best description
@JumpyCat717 He wasn't really that much into music, he was just filling a spot. And he has talked about it a lot, he was ok with being replaced by Cliff, he was never looking to be a big musician rock star.
Couldn´t agree more.
Great way of saying it
cant argue with that. Lars & Kirk have innovative playing at times and James is a thrash picking monster. But their stongest players were always the bassists.
He's so badass and fits into Metallica so well. His energy is incredible.
weird i dont think he fits at all
Robert deserves this. He’s such a talented Bassist/Musician. Listening to him play I definitely hear Cliff come through!
You're all crazy. Ron Trujillo is one of the most technically proficient bassists I've ever seen. He's in the pocket 100% of the time. A true reliable bassist.
His brother Rob is pretty darn good too!
@@jediroya6810 was waiting for it. 😘
Who's Ron?
Far better than Clint Burton or Jacob Newsted, that's for sure
If you're talking about his time with Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves, you're absolutely right. When he joined Metallica he had to dumb it down to play their lame-o riffs, which has to be hard for a bassist of his caliber to do, but if the money's right it's easy to compromise your talent. Right, Rob?
if someone was to make an ozzy impersonation, no other better than Rob!!!
A lot of celebrities present themselves 1 way yet behind closed doors are something completely different…..people like Lemmy,Dave G. & in particular Ozzy are such a ray of hope because they all remained genuine people & never let their heads get too big 🖤salute to the real 1’s 🖤
Back in the mid 90s at my first Metallica show, Rob was opening for them with Suicidal Tendencies. Great show. Oh yeah, and Glen Danzig opened too.
Always loved Robert since his days with Suicidal, he was a great choice imo.
Robert is such a genuine dude besides being a kickass heavy bass player. Love this guy.
He's now done 3 albums with the band and they were all amazing. Death Magnetic, Hardwired and 72 seasons fucking rock \m/
4 albums. You missed St. Anger 🤘🏻
@@Sk8MetalPunk666 Rob didn’t play on St Anger…Bob Rock played bass for the band for that album
@@Sk8MetalPunk666 Bob Rock recorded the bass for that album.
3 albums....in 22 years! Come on Metallica!
@@Sk8MetalPunk666Rob joined in 2003, but he played no part in the St. Anger album.
Rob is a thorough gentleman, through and through
He wrote stuff for All Nightmare Long, and that by its own, is a fucking seal of quality💪💪💪
Love Rob's Ozzy impersonation. Need to hear some more of that.
Rob seems like such a good dude, much respect for that man.
Where ever we may roam.Life is a deck of cards.With Ozzy stopping tours, you did great.Never forget your roots
Rob Trujillo fitted Metallica like a glove. He is an amazing bass player.
For nothing
Disagree, don't like the bass sound and never thought the image was a fit.
@@fredriksvard2603 I’m sure it makes you feel validated that literally dozens of people have this same shitty take
I've been a fan of Rob since he was in Suicidal. His playing on Lights, Camera... was really exciting for me as a young kid. Later on, as the Internet gave us better access to artists, it became obvious that he is not only supremely talented but also a really good person.
Always loved Rob's style. Saw him live with Ozzy. Great guy!
1:50 That Ozzy Impersonation...... fucking priceless LMFAO
Notice how no one can reference ozzy without doing the impression in some way
I feel like they actually sampled Ozzys voicemail there it was too good 😂
So glad someone in the family is successful. He deserves it.
It's funny that Rob knows, we know, Ozzy knows and EVERYBODY knows that it's Sharon who Rob needed to go to directly 😉
He’s just an awesome human and one of the best bassists out there
Rob does a really good Ozzy impression...
He seems a lovely guy. Just slotted in perfectly.
Who knew Rob could do a spot on impression of Ozzy! Lmao.
That was a damn fine impression of Ozzy!!!
DUDE !! 😀 He Sounded Just! like Ozzy!😄✌️😎🤘
Not just a fantastic bass player but a stand-up guy. Good for him for getting Ozzy’s blessing too.
Nobody going to talk about his ozzy impression
in the video that was released just an hour before your comment? well, there are already people talking about that.
Incredible right
@@Valet2 hahah. Didn’t know x
Congrats on 20 years with Metallica, Robert!!!
Rob is such a nice person. He's brought much more than just his musical talent to Metallica.
Lights, Camera, Revolution! Friend of Suicidal "Cyco" Miko, if it wasn't for ST, it would have just taken longer for us to find out about Robert Trujillo. He's been a part of metal and country bands. Yes. Country. I recognize someone from the Metal community defecting over to the enemy. Robert is one thing: omni-capable. Don't ever stop, Rob!
*_When I heard Rob was joining the first thing I said was he's going to make them heavier and I hoped he was gonna still play with his fingers cuz that's the sound I always liked in SUICIDAL and INFECTIOUS._*
Rob seems like such a genuinely good person.
They definitely picked the right guy . Robert has all the ability and in the world to play and be a member of metallica
Imagine joining Metallica when they were going through all that turmoil. I think Rob played a part very early on in bringing the band together. Obviously there was more to it, but Rob did hid part.
I just commented similar. He walked into a shit show and helped save it
I actually don't think Rob had that much influence on James tbh. It was Lars who brought him in and James just accepted him because Kirk, Lars and Bob told him it was the right choice. Watching the documentary, it's to me clear that Lars was the one taking charge of getting a bass player from the start. James seemed to have so much problems at the time that he wasn't in a position to take any decisions that big.
Pretty much what Jason went through as well. He was a scapegoat for a lot of things because Cliff. Rob was/is "wipe the slate clean and see what happens", which worked out pretty well I'd say.They did get through tough times, hopefully there aren't any more.
I seen him when he was with ozzy. Then when ozzy did ozzfest again it was with jason newstead which was really cool to see
Rob is a Great bass player. CLIFF the best. Jason is huge IMO backingvocals, soning some verste on whiplash etc. he was a freaking monster on stage. I miss him,imagine their newest stuff with jason on backing vocal. No direspect to rob. CLIFF Also had some extremly screaming
Cliff could scream DIE!! like a mother f#$&er.😆
Newsted was very good basist. Funny thing I play his lines from Load. They are really good. His style of playing bass is different than Cliff's. But I think good.
Cool story 😊!!!
Love the Ozzy impersonation as well!
Love the Ozzy impression!! Nailed it!!😂
What a cool and talented dude, no matter where he has played he has done an awesome job and have been a fan...then he joined my favorite band and eventually they became metal again 😎🤘🔥❤️👏
You are the best for sure. Thank You
Rob is awesome ST and infectious grooves 🤘🤘🔥🎸🤯😎
That was a damn good Ozzy impression!
Bravo Robert 👍
Rob suprised that hes on the short list for metallica shows hes pretty humble.
True story, I did not know who this guy was when I saw him at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis the day of Ozzie’s Merry mayhem tour. I saw him at the bar with shorts and white tube socks. He then walked around and I saw him a few other times that day. So during the concert to say I was surprised to see him playing bass is an understatement!!!😂😂😂😂😂
I've been watching Robert develop since his days in Suicidal Tendencies. He's a monster bassist and an overall good guy. He was even in a Yellow Pages commercial where they randomly stopped people on the street to ask if that person can think of anything that couldn't be found using the Yellow Pages. The caption listed him as a "professional musician", which he is, but it was cool to see him pop up in a commercial while he was playing in Suicidal. BTW.. he asked for a kilt when queried by the commercial host.
That's the best Ozzy impression I've ever heard!
That's cool. I've seen the whole band live, but not all together. Rob was with Suicidal Tendencies when they opened for Metallica.
Fan of Rob since the ST days. What a swell fuckin guy.
that was a great Ozzy impression
They scored bigtime when they got this guy. Great bass player, great choice. Got me back into the band in a big way.
I don't know Rob personally, but he sure seems like a great guy! Love his playing!
I loved the Suicidal Tendencies lineup he was a part of.
I honestly think they couldn't have gotten a better guy for the job
Only got into the band through my boys was more of a soul boy as a youngster.
But I love the four of them and they certainly are a balanced class act.
As good as any band past or present.
That was actually a pretty accurate Ozzy impression.
Wow he travels to Tahiti for surf trips. There is no end to this man's coolness.
He’s a good bass player with a long career. Such a humble dude
This guy saved Metallica, he brought new colors, new audience, new vibe, the missing link in the chain.
The Ozzy impersonation! 😆
You’re a good man Robert. You deserve every success in the world my brother. 👍🏻
I Think that rob was that new and fresh blood and energy Metallica need, special after Jason left the band ❤️🥰🤘🏻
Best ozzy impression ever😂😂😂
Rob does have credit for cyanide my opinion probably the best modern Metallica song 🎉
I remember being so happy for him.
I’m happy for Rob. He seems like a good dude.
he still feels like the guy that agrees on everything james and lars want without debating, though. which might even be needed for the band to work at all. still feels like he did not change their music like jason and cliff did. might be wrong.
I think it's hard to quantify, but I also think you are overestimating Jason's contributions(and I like Jason). From a pure songwriting credit stance, Cliff and Rob are close, with Cliff having very, very obvious influence on the band and the sound. Dude was insane. Jason has three song credits, the only one of which I think is worth noting is Blackened. I just don't see how Jason changed or added to the band outside of being energetic in live shows and giving 120% all the time. Justice was not a bass friendly album, everyone knows, and his skill was not on display there at all. The black album sound had far more to do with Bob Rock than anyone, so I don't credit Jason with that. Load and Reload were good in their own right, but not great. More hard rock than metal or thrash. I think it's fair to say the three albums Rob has been on have been a better mix of old and new, but I can't say that's on him. I like all their bassists, but I think Rob gets the short end for being agreeable when he is an extremely talented guy. Think about it this way: he was pushing 40, was basically a touring or session musician for most of his career and this gig falls in his lap. Wouldn't you be a yes man and do whatever the hell they needed so you can be a part of something great and also create a new life for yourself?
Left out the coolest moment when Metallica hands him a check for $1 million for starters :)
Yooooo the impression of ozzy spot on 😂
So that explains a LOT about why when he showed up to the audition, he had to borrow a bass from them. The man literally cut a vacation short to go meet with them! Now THAT deserves some massive respect!
The Ozzy impression was spot on
Ozzy is the man
nice to see Puffy getting a mention!
I like Rob. Hes a good fit. Dude can play and theres no big ego or attitude like Jason.
wish rob had a set of pipes and could fill the vocals so sorely missed from jason era, he gave such energy and ripping backing vocals which elevated the songs to another level of aggression.
It does seem that long ago before Rob came aboard 😊
I'm extremely happy for Rob.
On the other hand, I'm extremely sad I'll never get to see that true Trujilo style on stage again.
Highly underrated and grossly under-used.
Are you listening Metallica?!
Probably not lol but one can hope.
It’s the first time I haven’t heard Sharon say “your a prick, I’m taking you to court!”
Rob was surfing buddies with Kirk and was friends with him before joining Metallica. Absolutely perfect replacement for Jason, funny thing was like 2 all-star teams trading players with Jason going to Ozzys band and Rob replacing Jason. God bless them both!
Rob , Also like the Ozzie impression righton.
They did their time and Robert is doing great as is spect this man is a great talented musician they just all are different nothing else
Rob is so awesome in Metallica! 🔥🤘🏼👊🏼
I'd say Robert has been successful in his chosen field.
