From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Robert Trujillo, born October 23, 1964) is a bassist, who has played in Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne before joining Metallica in 2003.
He grew up in Venice, California and was a standout among other local musicians.
Although at times Robert Trujillo has been known to use a pick, he is one of the few popular bassists today who continues to use the finger picking method of playing the bass guitar in the majority of his work.
Robert Trujillo became Metallica's current bassist on February 24, 2003, after auditioning for Metallica and fitting right in with fellow band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett so much that they offered him $1 million up front, to be their bassist, on top of the percentage he would earn by being in the band.
Robert combined with Benji Webbe of Skindred & Dub War on a project called Mass Mental? and released an album in Japan entitled "How to write Love Songs". He was also Jerry Cantrell's bassist for a short period of time.
