Roberto Agustín Trujillo - ST Days

[OxJohnson]

So...

Driving home today I found an old Suicidal Tendencies CD and popped it in the deck and cranked it to 17 (my volume goes to 30 for some reason... different story, but @ 1200W who cares). Holy crap! I never noticed the bass lines that this guy laid down. It took me back to the days when "The Art of Rebellion" came out.

Let me please just say this... If you don't listen to ST, and never plan to: do yourself a favor and go get some NOW!

I was always a Rocky George fan, but then again I was a guitard. He overshadowed the rest of the playing because, quite frankly the man is a phenom that is under-rated at best. But after joining the bottom dwellers, I must admit that RT has some serious chops on this earlier material.

That being said... I hate the new Metallica crap. Gimme Cliff or Jason. I don't blame it on Robert, it is the others in the band that forgot what this genre was about. While I fear the ban hammer from MM from saying this... it is true.

So, to end my rambling... I highly recommend that you go get some ST... it does the body good!

Ox.

Oh yeah, man. I was a fan of Rob LOOOOOOONG before he joined Ozzy or Metallica. Some of his best recorded skills can be heard in either the ST or Infectious Grooves stuff. He's really a much better player than the stuff he's played with Ozzy or Metallica.

But hey, I can't blame him for playing whatever they want him to play after watching Some Kind of Monster and seeing him get his million dollar "sign-on" bonus for joining Metallica. For that kind of money, I'll play Mary Had a Little Lamb in a tutu if they wanted...
