[edit] Can I hear him play?
Hey, I am not a big fan of all his former bands, and since he is not on St.Anger, I couldn't really find any track where his playing is HEARD. Maybe someone can point me somewhere? Maybe a bass solo or a bass intro or something? Thanks. Also, of course, this can be added here to "prove" he is good.
St. Anger sux anyway. If you want to hear him...and hear him good lissen to Infectious Grooves. I recomend Don't Stop Sphread The Jam from the seccond album.But the Infectious Grooves CD..."TITLE": 'The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move'. Track 4 & 5, "Stop Funking With My Head", "I'm Gonna Be My King". two great songs, musically & lyrically, This whole cd has a great bass line, and a definant "GROOVE" I Wish So Much That This Band Was Back Together, and Doin' Live Shows, This Would Be Gettin' Your Monies Wortrh....This Band Would Have Gone Further Up The Charts with The Right Promoter!! And The Right Radio Airplay . --PET 10:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
RJ plays on the St Anger dvd ... which is a far superior version of the album than the actual released version. better drum sound, better bass play etc etc .. i strongly recommend listening to it.

[edit] finger picking
There are more bassists playing with fingers than with a pick. Fact. Only ones consistently using a pick are those punkers. I reckon it should be like 3:1 to the finger guys.
Sure, he finger picks, and so do many other bassists. I don't think he's within a 'few'.
there are... "FEW" :) I mean not few like 5-6 people...but manny people use a pick.
If you consider how many people do use a pick now days, and how many don't. Then he's one of few. 66.38.64.190 05:12, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
wow long name
Most thrash/punk bassists use a pick. In fact, the members of Metallica were amazed that he could play "Battery" with his fingers because of the high speed and difficult rythmn. Kirbus 12:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Which, by the way, is ridiculous... I am not a professional musician, just one of those guys who sometimes plays shows in bands (and I'm just 20 years old) and I can play "Battery" with my fingers. It isn't that hard. I mean, it's not particularly easy, but it's not something Metallica should be amazed by. I'm not familiar with Rob's previous work other than Jerry Cantrell and Ozzy, but I really hate how uneven his playing is... if you listen to his lines with Metallica or Ozzy live, he hits the strings much harder some times than others, just randomly because of sloppiness.

[edit] yeea
Very long name :)
I wonder if he has on hes passaport....the whole name :P
Part of text copied from http://www.allmetallica.com/info/biography/rob.php :((
- Most probably, since many Latinos in the U.S. have two or more given names, plus occasionally (and rarely) use their mother's last name also... Demf 17:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
ok...ho likes Rob ?? I mean hes style of play... --PET 01:53, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) Your grammar is pretty awful. But yeah Robert Trujillo is a pretty awesome bassist actually.
[edit] Albums?
Has he been on any albums of the bands he's played with? I know he wasn't on St. Anger, but any of Ozzy's stuff or anything else?
Ofcourse. He is on 4 Infectious Grooves albums, 1 album (i know for shoure) on Ozzy's... and about 2 suicidal tendencies albums. I don't know for shoure. --PET 23:48, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] infobox
what an ugly infobox. I don't know WHY we need info about hes height...eye color...etc ?
Inquiring minds want to know!!! It puts you closer to your "rock star"..... The Ladies want to know the color of rockstars eyes and hair, of course, but most of all, they want to know the color of his money!!!!
[edit] Status
he isn't single. he has a new baby.--Manboobies 15:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- True, I'm pretty sure he's married, and I know for a fact he has a son, but he isn't that new, he was born in 2003 (unless he had another kid since then when you mean "new baby")
[edit] Nickel Creek - Smoothie Song
Does not he play upright bass on Nickel Creek's single, Smoothie Song? Watch the video
[edit] $1 million dollar up front
"The members of Metallica offered him $1 million up front, on top of the percentage he would earn by being in the band."
The way I remember it, Ulrich says the $1 million is "an advance" on the percentage. Hence, it is not "on top of" it. A minor detail, really, but a factual error if my memory is to be trusted. Anyone care to check this?

- I remember clearly when Lars sayd they give $1million for the start, and also the % for the earnings and...later...he told him he has 5 votes on whatevar they are voting for. --PET 00:16, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Metallica's attorney, Peter Paterno, said in the documentary that "it's as lawyer as you can get, really. This is an advance on some percentage that you'll be making with the band." So, yes, it is not an advance on top of the percentage, it is an advance of the percentage. I apoligize for not having a link to prove that fact, but if you watch "Some Kind of Monster", there's my referrence.
[edit] Name Clarification
That is not his real full name, he is american hence he is only named Robert Trujillo (only one last name, perhaps he may have a middle name). But the "full" name that appears as real in this page was joke made by Robert, similar to "Miranda Veracruz De la Joya Cardenal" from Married with Children.
I am mexican. Veracruz in not a last name. It was a joke.
[edit] biased article?
When reading this article, I think it is a little to favorable in his performance and talent. I personally think he isn't such a great bass player, however I think that you should be allowed to say he is a good one, just provide good sources stating that he is, otherwise I can see no reason to consider his previous work 'outstanding' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.60.106.216 (talk) 23:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
wow wow what the hell? there can be lots of links be given to prove he is good. besides, I think I can provide audio samples to prove it. He is one absolutely skilled in his art.
[edit] Too Short ?
By the way the article looks, The discography is much higher than the biography itself in terms of length. This is really unfortunate, as he is from Metallica, a big one in the heavy metal stage... the rest of the members have loooong articles on them, even the deceased(but still called great) Cliff Burton. Why can't we add some more information, and expand the article, with more pics and some audio samples? Come on man we are talking about a high end bassist here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.96.41.117 (talk) 09:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
