Sign in to disble this ad
Last year, I purchased Sarsippius' Ark by the Infectious Grooves because I was looking into more Trujillo's funky stuff. I listened to it quite a bit, then I put the CD away for a while. I decided to bust it out today, and holy crap, these guys are awesome! I can't believe these guys aren't popular. They're kind of like the Chili Peppers in the sense of that I don't know how anyone could NOT like them. It's just fun, feel good, talented music.
What do you guys think? I'm getting the 3 other CD's too.

For the record dig Infection Grooves. Just wish there was more. |

I remember watching the part of "Some Kind of Monster" where they go to that MTV Icon thing and the reporter gets in Trujillo's face with something like "you've been in the band five minutes and already you're an icon?" Man, if only I'd been there... ridiculous kids not knowing their history.

Man, if only I'd been there... ridiculous kids not knowing their history. | trujillo with suicidal was much more of an icon than say, lars ulrich or kirk hammett, certainly more than jason newstead. i hope that sometime soon, robert trujillo realizes that metallica is an insult to his musicianship, and also that metallica was no longer metallica after kill 'em all because that was the most "metal" album that they released.

My faves are the title track and 'Do What I Tell Ya' |

I think all those guys are legends in their own right. Metallica is very talented and I think Trujillo was a good pick on their part. He could definitely push them into different directions. So it's all good in my book. |

For the longest time most folks didn't get my user name...only a few did. 
It's funny alot of people are just now discovering them for the first time. I've known them since the beginning, but I get alot of people recently telling me they're just now listening to 'one of Trujillo's old bands' and digging the funkyness. |

| | Proof you don't have to be good to be a member. | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: St.Louis, MO | | | Infectious Grooves is a great band. Rob lays down some supremely funky lines on their albums. I think a more accurate title for this thread would be "Robert Trujillo most underrated bassist of the 90's?" I don't think I've ever heard a bassline out of him that didn't fit the song perfectly if not make the song all together.
I'm trying to teach myself how to slap just so I can play all of the Infectious Grooves songs. My slap technique is so pathetic I can get over on the main riff from Violent and Funky pretty easily but something like "Do the Sinister" or "Don't Stop Spread the Jam" I just sit there and look dumbfounded. |

| | Proof you don't have to be good to be a member. | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: St.Louis, MO | | | Yeah I've never really worked on slap much at all before so I'm not discouraged at this point I'm just a newbie at slap. Heck,I'm still a newbie at bass. I've just been playing for a bit over two years now.
I don't know why but his basslines are so damned fun to play. I can sit there all night and jam along and have a blast. I just want to be able to play all the parts from all their songs. One of those personal goal things ya know? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
