Ive got the job of being Metallica's new bassist and family member...one that will doubtless fit this most righteous and cheerful of Southern Californians like a glove.Although I sometimes use a pick, Im best known as a baaaad motherplucker, a finger-playin' bass monster who's dexterity, tones and attitude have seen him grace the bass of Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves and Ozzy Osbourne's band since his first professional work with Suicidal in 1989. It all stems back to a childhood filled with variety and spice.Growing up in Venice Beach "Dog Town", I heard everything, from Led Zeppelin to Motown with a chunk of funk in between. Joined with a young love of surfing, Trujillo developed a rhythm and a vibe that saw him play with a variety of local bands through his early 20s until I met Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies via his High School buddy, Suicidal guitarist Rocky George. We got on infamously well, and thus began a rich and fruitful relationship which I established myself as one of the most exciting bass talents in the rock world.In the early '90s, Me and Muir formed the experimental funk-rockers Infectious Grooves, and then in the mid-'90s I joined up with Ozzy Osbourne. Together with drummer Mike Bordin, I formed one of rock music's most soild and reliable rhythm units.My name first floated by the Metallicamp during Suicidal's supporting role on the Summer Shed tour of '94, when all the band noted his enthusiastic style and performances. Thus when it was time to consider who could step up and take the bass full-time in Metallica, My name was an obvious choice.By all accounts, my audition dared the band NOT to give me the job, and even producer Bob Rock was heard saying how complete and unequivocally whole the band sounded with me playing.And so it was that on Thursday, February 24th 2003, I walked in to the HQ and saw Ulrich, Hammett and Hetfield immediately start applauding me. Again, I am the perfect fit, a calm, even-keeled man with experience and full bass props...and genuinely one of the nicest guys around. It all adds up to the 4th member, an equal part of the Metallica family and an exciting new stage in Metallihistory.
