Anyone like Robert Trujilo?

.....I dont think jason went to ozzy, but i heard he did, but now jason is in a band called voivod.
Uh.....how did you miss that?:eyebrow: It was only reported in about every bass guitar related mag at the time.

Voivod was before and after (maybe even during) Ozzy.

Jason was basically kicked out of Ozzy by Zakk.
Apparently a roadie ended up taking the fall (not voluntarilly) with the authorities for some of Jason's....uh....."medications" (although I heard it was just weed). Zakk felt that it was cowardly of Jason to just let this happen and not have the balls to come forward so the roadie wouldn't take the blame.

That is good to know, I never understood why Jason left Ozzy's band. Even though by the interviews I read Mike Bordin wasn't too happy with Jason's playing.

Does Voivod have another album in the oven? The last one with Jason was a little to straight forward for me. I think they should make another really freakin' weird album.
Yeah, on their website they said that they have 25 songs ready for recording, so I'm hoping the new one is out soon.

Yeah, in the bass player magazine with Jason and Ozzy on the front. Jason actually called himself out on that. Ozzy's music as of late is usually pretty behind the beat... and Mike Bordin's past music is behind the beat... and a lot of metallica is on top of the beat. But strangely not their recent stuff that Jason played on... hmmm.

Jason has always been like an excited child, so he's nervous I'm sure, and was playing a bit rushed. But I didn't hear anything about him continuing to do so.
