I don’t know why, following the 2 articles of a few days ago about Metallica, I started to ask myself a few questions like what is Jason Newsted doing now? So I looked on YT and found a couple of videos with him playing with Ozzy and then from a suggested link, I found this video, a short overview of how Metallica found the new bass player, Robert Trujillo.
Very cool video, I must admit, I had a great time watching it so I said why not share it with you here? So, here it is, in case you don’t know it already!
I found it very interesting that the guys from Metallica were not looking for skills, since I guess at that level, they are all there, but they were looking for THE VIBE…
By the way, considering the fact that there are other bass players in this video from well known bands, isn’t it a bit embarrassing for them to be in that video? I mean, man, I saw you in that video…you didn’t make it…
What do you think?
Hey, I just realized, the blond guy in the video, with the band, is the same one that sleeps on the sofa in Nothing else matters, right(Bob Rock)? Man, watching again the video of Nothing else matters made me remember why I love Metallica…

What if the best player for the job was a woman? I vote for Paz Lenchantin.

That would have been interesting to watch. However, I think they came to the audition answering a call from Metallica’s management so a woman would have been there only if they would have wanted here in there. I will take a look at Paz Lenchantin’s work, I guess you just gave me the lead for another article

Yeah, that is Bob Rock, who produced all of the ’90s Metallica albums and who played bass on St. Anger. Unfortunately Metallica has always had this bad habit of burying the bass on their albums. And they’ve had three incredible bassists. If you’ve never heard Jason Newsted on the very first Flotsam & Jetsam album, you should do yourself a favor and check it out.
