[@Amuz3d2Deth]

Not a huge fan of Metallicas lesser works. But, Rob was a pretty decent replacement after Cliff and Jayson. His work in Suicidal and Infectious Grooves speaks for itself!

[@blppt]

This is one of the reasons why we are damned lucky that Metallica turned down Les Claypool---Lars and James neuter the bassists they've had post-cliff. And to be fair, the music doesn't really support wild bass playing like you hear here. Les never would have become as legendary as he is now. Trujillo is on that level of technicality, but you'd never know it if you only listened to his Metallica days.

[@Faks.09]

@@blppt you know it makes me wonder Dave M. became a legend with his own band after getting kicked from metallica Les became a legend with his own band after failing to join Metallica What if Cliff was kicked out from the band? Could've he found his own legend band? Phock now i can't stop thinking about that

[@blppt]

@@Faks.09 Actually from what we know, the one who people were thinking of kicking out was Lars, then the Cliff tragedy happened.

[@Dmanlamius76]

I am 50 years old. This thread stretches for more than half a lifetime! thank you for being there!

[@xnekorb]

That’s awesome man! Not sure if you already know, but both the singer and bassist are in this other band called Suicidal Tendencies as well- Their album 'Lights Camera Revolution' is very similar to the Infectious Grooves stuff (:

*Brooks Wackerman (currently on Avenged Sevenfold) is the drummer on this track.* I grew up watching and listening to this video, it was a hit together with a re-recording of Suicidal's "Institutionalized" and "Nobody Hears." Trujillo left after this record to play with Ozzy, everyone knew him at the time because of this bass line, weird but not coming from Les Claypool... Mike was already a legend on Suicidal Tendencies, the 90s owns 70% of its bands to him and the 90s knows it... *stop with this "underrated" BS for everything.*
