Ergon Oli Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 His work on the first couple of Infectious Grooves albums is solid as anything else. His technique might seem sloppy but he has made it work for him. He's been doing it a hell of a long time without any problems. Great player.

Clarky Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 [quote name='steve-soar' post='780710' date='Mar 20 2010, 12:42 PM']He didn't play on St Anger.[/quote] +1 It was Bob Rock As it happens I think Death Magnetic is a great album and reminiscent of (if not totally matching) Metallica in their late 80s prime. They are still great live too and Rob Trujillo adds to the spectacle with his "monkey-crab" style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellothere Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I think he played on the tour though. If you look at a chronological list of metallica's albums its the same as reading a list of their best to worst albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him six times in total with different bands and each time its the same. Sloppy. Sure he has aggressive attack and speed but that doesn't make him a good bassist IMHO.I judge him on is what I have seen and it aint good. Simple as.[/quote] am really! i think its tiny little slip ups? nothing thats really bad! ive seen him twice and he was on the money! andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) I've seen metallica a couple of times and rob's playing was pretty solid, though i'm a big metallica fan, and i really do hate death magnetic, i don't see how anyone can think it's close to their earlier stuff at all. I don't see how that bass is any different to a streamer CT other than the inlay though. Edited March 24, 2010 by budget bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on Newstead IMO. There might be a few clips of the Dublin gig a few years back when they did the Master 20th aniversary thingy on the goo tube.
