metallica's bass player audition

[MrShutyourdamnmouth]

wow some of them really suck !!! bad

[daoyinyang]

If they lost Lars, Joey jordison get's the job.

[chrishunterg]

4:28 poor Danny didnt make it!

[MrBubbles0o0o]

They did a good job

picking rob

[MegaMrShibby]

scott reeder in metallica, that would of been warped as!

[marcustait]

keith urban is trying out for metallica on bass!!

[CamoteMaster]

0:41 OMG an orangutan!

[IdiotsRUsLtd]

The one person to dislike was Jason Newstead...

[SgtZaqq]

why the hell they need bassist, bass is inaudible in most of songs

[IdiotsRUsLtd]

@SgtZaqq For Whom The Bell Tolls,Master of Puppets and on all the other songs it lets you know the intro is over.

[Bludhoundz8]

@SgtZaqq You're an ignorant troll.

[SgtZaqq]

@Bludhoundz8 no, you.

[Bludhoundz8]

@SgtZaqq Cool

[88JudasMAN88]

2:39 left handed bassist!!! 

[1337Noobtuber]

Rob not only plays better, but he's got more stage presense. He's not this boring guy that stands there in an awkward stance and stares at his instruments fret board the entire song.

[vampire891208]

i couldn't imagine jeordie or eric in metallica

[mapopazzo]

PEPPER KEENAN DID THE METALLICA'S BASS AUDITION??? WTF? how come he's the lead guitar player in Down right now?

[MichaelD8393]

what's the song everyone's trys out on starting at 2:29?

[ell3y]

@MichaelD8393 For Whom The Bell Tolls

[Frostdaddy88]

@MichaelD8393 For Whom the Bell Tolls, off of Ride the Lightning

[SeanMusicFreak]

No disrespect to Rob, but can you imagine Pepper Keenan in Metallica?! Holy Fuck!

[minus148]

Any one notice how Roberts intro to For whom the bell tolls on the try out montage kicked ass over the other dudes..

[RAMMSTEIN1720]

if twiggy ramirez was able to try out, y the fuck was i nt asked LOL

[hairyneil]

I like the montage showing the differences between the different bassists

[billydab0b]

Am I the only person that noticed that Rob wasn't wearing shorts???

[Martyfriedman001]

thanks god it was Robert ! HE 10000 times better ! he top professional !

[rubencts]

At 2:29 ¿¡What song is it!? ¿Does anyone know? that song it's powerful...

[taterfamine]

@rubencts

it's called "for whom the bell tolls" from ride the lightning. not to be confused with "for whom the bell tolls" by the bee gees lol

[rubencts]

@taterfamine Many many thanks. There's a world of difference between Bee Gees and Metallica, i choose Metallica. Saludos desde México.

[cdjthebomb]

thats what i told Bob...

[anival2sorto]

Rob got this spot on if i never knewn Rob got it i would of have said he got it lol

[THRASHFKINFILLETS]

You can see Rob is just so confident.

[Jacobcob90]

yo yo yo that shit fuckin rocksyo, if yall think that shit is fuckin rad then yall gotta check ou this super intensley hardcore video i found called EATHQUAKE IN TOFINO its gangsta mutha fucka

[joeysixtysix]

"The only guy who wasnt struggling with it" ROFL as if Metallica's songs are sooooo difficult. What a bunch of delusional arrogant pricks.

[irnmadn99]

@joeysixtysix i totally agree with you........

[Th3Art0fRu1n]

@joeysixtysix

I agree, but at the same time if they can't play that simple stuff they shouldn't be there...

[cumberlandbythesea2]

jeordie has the painful ozzy look.

[adi1234556]

what song are they playing from 2:30 till 3:10?

[poisonedxtears1993]

@adi1234556 dude thats for whom the bell tolls

[williamiswilliam1]

@adi1234556 youre not a metallica fan are you?

[thewhitezombie666]

i wish they had les claypools audition video!!

[calebfain]

4:20 lol hes on crack

[shagger67]

whats with James wearing 2 straps?

[irnmadn99]

@damphear2 i agree with you, these fuckers are PUSSIES. talking about their feelings , gay shit, too bad were no longer in the 80's when they were metallica, now a days they are simply mefuckllica.

[runarboy1]

@irnmadn99 talking about mans feelings is not gay, it shows that you actually dare to do it, trolling on the other hand...

[tycewwerox]

@damphear2 WOAH! Calm yourself.

[haltrman93]

Gah, I wish it was better quality because this was such a cool video... Thanks for the upload, daliend.

Also, I wish the subtitles were optional xD

[Mohamed636]

Twiggy's bass didnt sound in tune for fuck.

[Jodien37]

robert is nowhere near cliff. they can't find anyone in this earth that can match cliff's work and inspiration. that's why they are in low profile since ...and justice for all. maybe if james had given more freedom to jason in past years, they could create much better music...

[lordifandk]

@Jodien37 there my good friend, you are wrong, my favorite bass player is cliff. but robert has better technic then cliff had, they are the two best metal bass players.

[Zz41N]

james, you fag. retire already. metallica was the shit in their day. but they need to stop already. James looks like Jamie from fucking Mythbusters now. ugh, it's embarrassing like their last several albums.

[lordifandk]

@Zz41N thats bullshit, james looks awesome, he is older but that how you live and their two last albums are great.

[Michael94546]

RIP Cliff. he went to my highschool

[Zubirrex]

Trujillo's awesome. He looks like some demented chimp stalking the stage.

[blackdragons95]

ja svensk text grymt

[travisking1990]

I love how he looks playing the bass :P

[FinnSkates]

What a great drum beat ...........

hit,hit,hit,hit,hit,hit,hit,hi­t,hit repeatitively...

[12yearsoldkid]

what does lars mean cliff wouldent get the job if he tried that day

[screamoutpeace666]

@12yearsoldkid I never understood that either, makes lars seem like even more of a dick

[lordifandk]

@screamoutpeace666 i can tell you he is a very friendly guy, all those who thinks he is a selfish asshole are wrong. and he is the shit that hold metallica together, without him metallica wouldnt know what to do, when it comes to making the albums, planning the tours, lars has always done that and how can i tell he is a good guy? simple. one of my friends tennish coach knows him he meets with him everytime he is in denmark.

[lordifandk]

@12yearsoldkid he means the fact that, robert has better technic then cliff, and just as good rythm as cliff, and they all agreed that he was at least just as goood, as cliff . hell kirk said that he hasnt felt the same way since cliff, when they jammed with him. but my favorite is still cliff but robert is just as good and at some point of the bass he is better.

[12yearsoldkid]

@lordifandk that is a good point. thank you

[GBeast2029]

if he's good enough for ozzy, metallica was right to choose him :D

[johnandshawn2000]

@GBeast2029 jason went to ozzy after quitting metallica

[GBeast2029]

@johnandshawn2000 i know

[nederwiet1]

rob is the only playing those two notes in fwtbt intro by the way

[PeaceSells102]

Out of all of those bassist I'm Glad they chose Rob. Rob is better than all of them combined.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@PeaceSells102 No. Scott Reeder is better. He may not have played FWTBT good here, but listen to Kyuss. You will see that he's better.

[dogzrgood]

the psychiatrist sucks :@

[KatherinefortheWIN]

Rob kicked everyones arse at for whom the bell tolls in this clip

[CoolKwstas123]

hahhahahahaha look puppy eyes in 1:31 xD

[H4x0re]

Rob owned all off them in the For Whom intro.. xD

[paco19871000]

yeah trujillo asi es como se debe de mandar por alla

[fawnication]

I want a bass player.. any takers?? ..ok bob rock.. I'll give you a go..

[Jaaaaam]

Danny Lohner would've been great. That guy's too underrated.

[TheCodmod2fan]

loved the sound of twiggys guitar. any1 have any idea what effects pedal that is so when i get a bass i can get that and play for whom the bell tolls with that effect. it makes it sound better in my opinion

[damon8279]

congratulations rob u deserve it..

[max300988]

What the hell is Pepper Keenan doing there, he's not a bassist.

[SOYUNPINCHEBOY]

I'm glad that Eric Avery didn't make it

[MetalHeadunit]

i like the sound of scott reader's bass hehe

[sususegar]

in terms of looking the part - rob, chris wyse, pepper keenan and twiggy. but i can't say about playing, the video's been edited to show the better light on rob since he got chosen in the end. not that i ever doubted rob since i heard infectious groove years ago!

it's just, u know, film dramatising.

[TheMapexDrummer11]

Rob is great!

[RandomoVideos]

Jeordie's audition sucked ass! pretty much all of them did apart from Rob's.

[ManiacSerialKilleR]

yeah but twiggy sucked the most ass

[irnmadn99]

@RandomoVideos everybody that auditioned sucked,but rob,>>>>>>Lars said that if cliff showed up to audition, he would'nt be the guy- well i dont think would want to audition after the shit, pussy , and fag they became.

[gutrench1977]

@irnmadn99! Are you jealous because those "fags" aren't sucking your dick? Quit being a jealous little bitch! Metallica is a successful band and it kills you to know you'll never be as cool as they are!

[irnmadn99]

@gutrench1977 fuck you ,eat cum and die mutha fucker...........go play your pussy ass guitar hero bullshit......

[illfortune921]

@RandomoVideos

the manson dude was actualy..terrible

[Darkit2099]

@RandomoVideos If i were James or Lars i would've stopped playing right there. pepper's audition wasn't bad, I liked the tone his bass had going on. But it's really best they went forwards with Rob anyways

[thegodfather103]

Jeordie almost had it. o well. atleast hes back with Manson

[lildrummerboy4rmhell]

he sucked they all sucked except for rob

[J120D]

this video clearly shows that rob was the best for the job

[LongLaiz]

2:00

Kirk: Muahahaha

xDDDDD

[bloodpollution]

They all SUCK !! jeez...

Rob was the only one really nailing the songs.

[Obelisk2290]

@bloodpollution agreed man im so sick of frustrated guitarist parading as bass players

[ImethIaddictI]

"If Cliff Burton showed up today, I don't if he'd be the guy either." Fuckin made me sick.

[xanadakilla]

2:37

he needs to practice more

[greenishblue]

haha i have that exact bass :P

[bucketfaced]

i didnt know the bass player for mettalica was once with ozzy osbourne. wow

[frozenfarm]

yeah and for a while jason from metallica switched to ozzy

[lilrev718]

no wonder u can't hear the bassist from jane's addiction-u never culd unless it was mountain song

[Teutonic1250]

the guy from the cult and rob were the best out of all of em'

[tconnor6]

Jason was my fave'. YUM!!

[LongLaiz]

Cliff Burton 4ever¡¡ \,,/(-_-)\,,/ Finger Basist RulerZ

[RaffiGomi]

@LongLaiz thats true.. =/ 

[angelcena619]

OSTO97 For whom the bell tolls

[osto97]

what is the name of the song on 2:31

[frozenfarm]

for whoom the bell tolls

[cezar40]

so trujillo form ozzy osbourne goes to metallica

and jason form metallica goes to ozzy...

strange

[NightfallsbroXD]

Nah man Jason never belonged in Metallica and Rob he so belongs in Metallica, things are how they should be. :)

[D0mIN1cAnO]

Yes he does,MAN Rob had Awsome hair XD,I want hair like him :O

[tutu1987]

jason is in Voivod, nvm

[ConorS1]

Pepper Keenan wasnt too bad was he? but robert really nailed it for him

[THEPaintballKidd]

like nobody plays the bass im the only kid at my skool that does some play drums and about 20 kids play guitar

[drrojogochu]

But how many out of the 20 kids are actually decent?

[yared94]

OMFG his fingerstyle is really unique.

[paullnewlands]

Perhaps the Suicidal Tendencies influence will come through into Metallica with Rob on board. I expect a more thrash even punky sound to them with Rob having joined. If you listen to the "new" live stuff, it certainly sounds that way.

[melayzie]

A lot of em couldn't play Tollz for shit.

[metallicalust]

Robert DOES had advantage whilest being with oZzY... Mind it ...!!!

[pearldrummer246]

they should of got david ellefson.

[yared94]

Ha! Irony.

[eddymetallica8]

cliff is unique best bass

[sk8r2714]

wow scott in metallica stoner trash!!

[aviram555]

With you Ombre

[vigsveig]

Rob must be one of the best bass players in the world. I saw him in Oslo in 94' That was the best time of my fkn' life.  Viggo
