Is he playing on a Fernandez Gravity 5 Bass, and if so why don't Fernandez claim him as an endorsee?? Oh, I forgot Metallica's probably have some statement in his contract that states any profits from endorsements, a portion will go back to the Metallica Franchise. Being that Fernandez is a small company, they probably can't afford to pay those fees!!!!
I like his style and all, but this video treats him like some kind of pioneer/revolutionary musician. Most of metals greatest bassists play with their fingers. Besides, slapping is quite popular out of funk/jazz
@lorenvburrell It seems like every bass player at some point develops a bad back... you've got to imagine he's going to have issues later on. I really enjoy his playing, he's very good in all honesty.
When they introduced Rob, I thought they said Rob Toritio lol
