Rob Trujillo Bass Solo Melbourne 18th November 2010

[MErickson11]

So apparently playing a riff for a minute, then down tuning your bass for thirty seconds is a solo now...?

Yupp, that's definitely talent. For sure.

[larzblast]

Jesus, even a drummer can play that! Rob is way above that kind of crap playing.

[DarkSusy666]

Super Roberto <3

[gabrielecalcinari]

he learned play the bass from mark king

[sanchz1111]

Rob is not a good fit for Metallica...a guy like Alex Webster, Steve Digiorgio or even a Hal Patino would fit better than this knuckle dragger. R.I.P Cliff Burton!!!!! Never Forgotten

[Yenasty5]

you are retarded dude rofl

[dannyray415]

who is fapping at the concert?

[seyibass]

98 people have never heard of Richard Bona

[GuyDudeGuide]

lol he can do so much more but all hes got to do is playing a note and looking like a gorilla while this

[BrettDixonMusic]

Rob's too good for Metallica. He's more of a Suicidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves type of guy. 

[StrawberryJungle]

It's like this is the first time he's picked up a bass and he's playing around with it :/

[claptongroupie]

He's got the playing down and his personality visually is bad ass love it

[mustamakkara89]

@MetalSlab "marketing decision" my balls, why would 'tallica do that? I hat to pull the stupid card but you deserve it.

[cessarek123]

ROB = Robert on bass

[MetalSlab]

Worst bassist ever. I hate to pull the race card, but I have a feeling he was selected for reasons other than his playing ability. This was a marketing decision...

[DoraTheDino]

@MetalSlab marketing? Does Metallica need "marketing" at all?

[mrmean3]

i give the guy cedit for being like the fasted finger plucker ever but he cant beet cliff but wips the floor of jason

id think that really was much of a solo

[yuyo867]

el peor solo de bajo

[timmykookoo]

umm.. that fucking sucked.

[Maxdeth11]

Nothing like Jason's doodles

[amateurkid2442]

he's so freakin' sexy!!! <3 <3 <3

sooooo wanna fuck him!!!

[rasish150]

i got crazyyy...



[Dmitriy96ify]

cool tuning solo

[SlipKnoT012345678Yo]

THE... COOLEST... BASS... EVER!!!

[1Sifting]

O and this is not a solo. Its a bass outro for sad but true.

[1Sifting]

This was kirks birthday and mine aswell.

[tek1001]

Pathetic, the idiot can't play bass worth a shit. His "solo" could be done by a three year old. Any moron can turn up the treble and hit a few notes and spend the rest of the "solo" trying to look "bad ass." Epic fail, Epic fail, the dude sucks ass. And what's with the basketball outfit? Is that supposed to be "bad ass" too? Sorry, send this dude back to the nursery to suck a bottle of tit milk and get a REAL bass player.

[MIKEYEKIMIKEY]

@tek1001 Dude, you cant even play half those notes without standing still

[tek1001]

@MIKEYEKIMIKEY Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[MIKEYEKIMIKEY]

@tek1001 Thats exactly what you would sound like, I am glad you understand :D

[gothlord77]

@tek1001 fuck you, fuck your parents, fuck all your relatives and fuck your girlfriend!

Robert is a great bass player! Better than you at least!!

Go suck James Hetfields cock you prick!

[TehVideoManMakeVids]

I had to put my headphones in, it was just people clapping hahahaha

[GamlothFelix]

Metallica for Life, best band in the world 10 times over!

[carsivan1]

thumb up if

you want to have a bass battle with rob

on top of a mountain

and a nuclear explosion in the background

[pipocinyd]

That was a bass solo? That sucked.

[todo1121]

heee suuuucccckkkkkkkkkksssssssssss  assssssssss

[scarsontable]

Wow! Thats awesome..... no, it sounds like farting.

[chrislgrooms]

The guy either has no sense of style whatsoever or purposely tries to look stupid.

[Pinkspiderable]

Stop fricking clamping wtf listen to him he's incredible!

[AnEpicFail2467]

GOD HE'S SO HENCH!!!

[Hermunkle]

I would have to agree thats its fun that he plays with "attitude" but im just not that impressed by this particular rufa i donno I think he plays much better with a group than as a standout.

[JuGgAloactionPIRATE]

@Hermunkle i see where you're coming from, but check him out in the band infectious grooves. thats where he really displays his mad skills.

[chjohnst]

Killer tone

[MrAlyane]

On 1:13, he almost fall HAHAHAAHAHHA

[TheChurchofElevation]

Happy Birthday RT

[george8873]

Who cares who is the best... RT plays with attitude, which makes him awesome. I think he is a great fit for Metallica. :D

[DJFMasters3]

Ya know.. Bass solo's are SO boring... but Rob makes them AWESOME!

[searaydrivingguy]

a monkey can play a bass solo and throw luggage around

[aclass22]

I dont understand white people music

[thegreenbastard42011]

@aclass22 its rock , you dont understand rock, jimmi played rock he was black.

[aclass22]

@thegreenbastard42011 I under stand rock just fine, this is just weak. He might be a good bassist but this is not a good solo.

[thegreenbastard42011]

@aclass22 lol what does it have to do with being white then. lmao

[aclass22]

@thegreenbastard42011 Well most Metal/ Metallica fans are white, and I dont understand the appeal of the music.

[thegreenbastard42011]

@aclass22 its a real instrament. it takes talent to play instead of yellin to a rythem

[rizwantakkhar]

I wish Rob had heard of Billy Sheehan.

[jimmyEADG]

1:14 nearly falls over. haha

[mountjoy61]

i dont get everyone whaling on him cos the tabs are simple or whatever, all metallica is fuckin simples in the grand scheme of things - all that matters is that it sounds fucking awesome. i bet none of you keyboard warriors could do a better job. otherwise you'd be in there sucking hetfield off every day, as he'd clearly make you pussies his bitches.

[wusundowma]

When is he going to show us what he's got? I know he has more than this.

[daxiusk]

Solo? Playing E for 2 minutes? o_O

[YouDressFunny]

Rob is so fucking smoking hot!!!!!!

[derekmcgoldrick]

shit

[LightWillRemain]

i love him

[S00neX]

tabs: E, E, E, E, E, D

[BTTDrumNBass]

@S00neX I think He hits open then the octave on 7

[Totnik]

@OhzSwix he actually was replaced and Metallica did quite well without him, it's not necessary to have 3 guitar players in band to achieve glory, Cliff was like guitar not bass, that's why he got popular but it can't be called bass genius... and as a guitar player he was good but also not genius

[Totnik]

@OhzSwix A genius can't play his own solo the same every time ? LOL Anyway, every guitar player, every musician plays his staff different every time, it's natural, less boring this way :} Dude, Rob in one year played couple of solos, besides it's doesn't matter how many solos did he play, playin solos on bass guitar is not genius yet :} So what ? This kind of staff plays a decent guitar player, just because he did it on bass makes him genius ? don't be ridiculous...

[TheAlphafly]

Wtf??? Is this a solo???

[007ssrp]

@TheAlphafly yes, stupid

[TheAlphafly]

His arms are bigger than his legs...

[BioBassist]

Trujillo's talent is wasted in metallica, he kicked ass in infectious grooves

[Totnik]

@OhzSwix to make one solo in whole career you call genius ? ... ridiculous

[xCrytakerx]

@Totnik soo you think it´s easy to write a solo huh?? then come on do one

[Totnik]

@xCrytakerx no, i think that one solo in whole career doesn't make musician a genius yet

[xCrytakerx]

@Totnik ahh yeah, so but a solo is only one short part of a song, so who fukin cares, there are many great musicians out there who are genius and didn´t wrote one note, soooooo no one cares if he wrote only one solo or twothousand, soo you can´t say "ahaha he only wrote one solo, what a dumbass" then, you are the dumbass my friend!

[Totnik]

@xCrytakerx this solo wasn't part of song, it was song alone.. and somebody concluded that it makes him a genius, which I disagree, what's your problem ?

Bass guitar genius are the persons like Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller and so on... Cliff Burton was just a good musician but not a genius, besides he was more like guitar player than bass player, i much more like Jason and Rob - which is musical the best bass player of them all. Burton is overrated because he became legend after his death.

[Totnik]

Clff had only ONE solo - anesthesia pulling teeth.

[BlackMaidenTallica]

@Totnik definitely not....

[Totnik]

nothing special, I liked Jason's solos better

[horror4ever1997]

@Totnik i liked Cliffs solos better

[tmacshack7]

I agree

[loaded1A]

simple but fucking groovy as hell

[dudecicero]

@loaded1A - What else does a bassist need but GROOVE and feel, anyways! Nice, tasty solo. But his bass positioning always weirds me out.
