Metallica - Hit the Lights + Robert's Intro!!

The introduction of the latest bassist - Robert + Hit The Lights!! It's kind of funny intro, haha...

[@ArmandusMarcelus]

Robert is a true Bass legend. Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, played with Ozzy. Tremendous Bass player.

[@gokcengolge2366]

He was wearing a vest back then ) and played in BLS with Zakk Wylde))

[@kainicol]

True hero

[@needham831]

And that right there is why Rob got the job and is still playing with them over 20 years later. A true bass playing legend 🤘🙂🤘

[@ernieball7567]

Yes 🙌!! Exactly man.. Rob just killed it since the day he auditioned.

[@jasonpeters9865]

Metallica hasn't made ANYTHING of significance since he joined 22yrs ago. You know it

[@jasonpeters9865]

? Jason "killed it." Lol, the day he left Metallica hasn't been ANYWHERE the same. Most importantly? Metallica hasn't made anything that matters last 25yrs

[@ernieball7567]

@@jasonpeters9865 No problem man.. we are all entitled to our opinion. And yes Robert killed it, you know it !! The real newsted fans should go and support him instead of just hating on Robert. He plays free gigs doing Americana covers cause no one really pays to see newsted. Facts !

[@DeviltoGeorgia34]

Their big group hug at the beginning is like the epitome of a band's relationship, it's like they've played for years, yet they really haven't.

[@BrotherBullied]

This clip made me remember why i love Metallica more then 99.99% of all the other bands.

[@lautarothepro420]

[@LaurenceTarei-qj8ph]

Jason left because they treated him like shet they admitted it years of standing in the shadow of cliff Burton they took someone in to early Jason was hard done by they admitted it they should apologize to him formerly

[@OurKingdomIsNotOfThisWorld]

They are by far the most successful metal band ever

[@rockerf777]

Robert trujillo is a effin beast on the bass!!!! I've been playing bass for 5 months and can play some of his solos, and definatley his version of For whom the bell tolls. Dang i wish i was that good!!!!

[@yobhsiFehT]

I love how Trujillo just picks Lars up and carries him into the building saying, "OK, we gotta' go rehearse" lol Nice.

[@darrinwilson8484]

He spends a lot of time carrying the whole band lol

[@rickdafrog]

I met Trujillo in France after a Suicidal gig. He had lost his wallet in the street and was looking for it. My brother had his bass with him and Robert played some stuff on my bro's bass. It was cool.

[@Forge_595]

Wish they showed this love to Jason. Jason is legitimately a loveable guy

[@KRaGG101]

I just love how excited Rob is when he says "HIT THE LIGHTS, COME ON!"

[@mizarkfob3]

lars: aggression, kirk: emo, james: bro, rob: chill

[@Takaichi666-]

Exactly!!!!

[@nobodyimportant69]

They gel so good together. It's like it was meant to be. I still miss Cliff though, been since I was a teenager, just a little younger than the band members, but he was an absolute Beast on a Bass guitar. As much Hell as the band put Jason through, he was also a Beast on the Bass. Miss Jason too, but he's still with us. Long live the remaining Metallica Bassists. RIP Cliff Burton. Peace from Toronto ✌️✌️

[@arthurchoinet9118]

Agression???

[@xATown23xGaming]

That squeal at the beginning of "Hit The Lights" brought a tear to my eye.

[@lestat666666666]

Robert is a humble and really nice person and magnificent bass player he signed my T-shirt in Houston Texas 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸

[@santiagorafael4090]

Así es cómo se llega a ser grande con una buena preparación y esperando el momento indicado muchas felicidades Trujillo.

[@mizarkfob3]

7:17, the moment where everyone in the band clicks and the transition of song goes smoothly, also a nod of approval.

[@KRaGG101]

You can see how pumped he is during his audition ... Awesome

[@OurKingdomIsNotOfThisWorld]

The absolute perfect pick sooo cool

[@no_hiding]

Robert: "Yeah I'm from the Westside G" Kirk: "Yeah! Venice" *awkward silence*

[@ShortFingeredShreder]

I seriously thought that Rob was fucking around with all those names.

[@scpfoundationtm1249]

He wasn’t?

[@quantum_byte]

@@scpfoundationtm1249 Nope

[@scottyboi68]

You put headphones in You an actually hear how tight rob is on the bass, its amazing....

[@ryanslauderdale]

It's Metallica. They always cut the low end out (except when they want to get paid haha).

[@GerryBoy]

Veracruz, Mexico is proud of you Roberto Trujillo, keep up the good work with Metallica dude.

[@laffe89]

I'm so glad they picked Rob. he's awesome!

[@Iz_zy2099]

Robert joining Metallica was honestly the best thing for them I mean the way they acted all around with him says it all. It’s like they’re back in the 80’s all over again

[@cavegoat13]

LoL at Hetfield. "Trooooojeelo!" I loved this whole video. Especially beginning.

[@Pavl0ve]

love this rehearsal of HIT the lights , really rocks

[@TheSlipknotMaggot1]

I like how Kirk's middle finger is pointing out near enough the whole time in the hit the lights part

[@Chaals]

The guitar James is using is the original model of the ESP Iron Cross. What he's using here is a Gibson Les Paul, just modified the way he liked. Esp made a copy and that's the Iron Cross you see now on Esp's site.

[@aMpeDDUp]

LOL Robert makes this face sometimes when he's playing, it looks like he's biting into a lemon.

[@koberamone1989]

this performance is just epic they all rock the the house down

[@MetaITurtle]

Why is this so funny? 3:22 Lars drum solo, i keep rewinding it like 20 times. It sounds good but its just really funny to me for some reason. Also James squeel 4:02

[@TheTheAndreiasantos]

I love Metallica. They'll always be my fav. band.. In my heart, they'll never die !

[@caseyisemojk]

love them lol James: oh there goes the tour lol

[@wannaknowit291]

Robert fits the band so completely well.......:-) He seems to be a very friendly,nice man:*)))))) The way he plays guitar is very funny....when he is almost in a squatting position!!!Love that!

[@xXshanexSCR34MXx]

wow that performance of hit the lights sounded real good.

[@AB-fw6qp]

Rob called out the song AND handled it. Respect

[@metalboto]

1983 the first song on "kill 'em all" .................the first time that music made me go nuts !!! i went like: what the hell is this!! these guys are playing 200mph..(if you were used to only:black sabbath,maiden,priest,etc,etc)it was so new and refreshing!!.....don't get me wrong here,i love every song on "kill'em all"but this "first song" in particular MADE ME GO NUTS !!!!

[@jumpybowl4743]

2:12 I like how Kirk makes a joke and I just falls on a dead note 😂😂😂 kinda like his playing

[@Xpl0ReRChR]

Well you know what they say... You're as old as you feel you are, and Metallica sure are young! The energy they have at their concerts is unique, how PERFECTLY they perform their songs! Not to mention their constantly increasing musicianship! Kings of Metal, the end. :D

After seeing this video , you can definitely say : Metallica is BACK!

[@GuitarBassCigar]

It never gets old seeing Richard Simmons behind the kit

[@BurritoBryan]

HAHAHAHAHAHA "how do you pronounce your last name?" "uhh tri jelly oh" LMAO

[@paulcrowder]

Looking back on this now, the coolest thing is that this didn’t end up being some short-lived decision from a washed-up metal band trying to become relevant again. Rob breathed new life into the band, and 21 years later he’s played on 3 studio albums, thousands of shows, and been Metallica’s bass player for longer than Cliff and Jason combined. He’s a real part of the band and not a hired hand like James said when they hired him. Such a cool story.

[@adammccormick95]

"I'm from the west side g" "that's right. venice" HAHAHAHA

[@strikeout1991]

wow you are the master of arguments i bow down to my knees...

[@robgoldsmith8770]

Rob is the best bassist metallica have had and even the band admit that...

[@clarkkent4621]

+Rob Goldsmith after cliff, i agree rob is the best

[@Forge_595]

Jason literally made Metallica popular. He wrote blackened, and he was in Metallica for the album that made them really huge, the black album

[@Meta99ica]

He's fucking amazing. Such a full on sound!

[@clarkkent4621]

sometimes i wish rob joined metallica right after suicdal tendencies :/ sure jason newstead was sick on bass but nowhere close to as sick as rob and nowhere close to his skill level. rob played orion live with ease. something that hadnt been done since cliff burton was with them. huge props to rob and metallica for grabbing him before somebody else did.

[@1977moonchild1]

Am not even the biggest Metallica fan in the world. They're ok now but Jason was more Metallica than Rob for sure. A much more suited fit was Jason in the band. Rob is nothing special..

[@empreme]

Schecter is such an underrated company!! I have a stiletto classic and it's fantastic

[@StoopidMonkey0]

he was one of the guys who inspired me to be a bassist

he did and it was the most badass thing ive ever seen!!!!

right venus :D james -_- rocking it down solid man haha kirk ur awsome man

i think trujillo really deserves to be in metallica.. he is an awesome bass player

[@footballXcrazyX2012]

i love that the camera can barely pick up the sound on kirks solo, and barley show his fingers moving so fast!

[@heavymaskinen]

Always nice to hear Lars speak Danish :) He also does a danish count-in, in the St. Anger video.

[@huguiloso]

the guitar solo kicks ass!!!

[@monamOneX]

loved the intro of hit the lights :D

[@EdBMetal]

I thought James sings “Hit the like”! 👍👍👍

[@g3dzns]

@shuszzam actually - Robert originally comes from the band Suicidal Tendencies.

[@BulletmanDoom]

He deserves it. Awesome. There are a lot of references to Cliff Burton so I just hope they sort themselves out now and get back to some semblance of the band they used to be when he was their bass player.

[@santiagorafael4090]

I got chills ghit hand ❤

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

They needed a guy like Trujillo to complement the band. I’m talking his very mellow vibe and his bass playing skills. I don’t know too much about Cliff but he seemed like the mellow guy in Metallica, I mean he was the guy who could dialogue with Mustaine back in early Metallica. I believe Trujillo is the same way but Cliff seemed like the type of guy who could give you a wise talk and be friends with all! RIP

[@jhushx]

I remember seeing an old MTV bit where the band introduced themselves in a similar way - like a bunch of drunk headbangers hanging out. I think with the arrival of a new member to the band, they are parodying themselves from 15-20 years ago :D

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Ohh that bass tone. 😎👍

[@arandominternetuser9099]

Metallica doing a YT channel documenting their adventures would be gold.

[@dbt07]

Robert is one killer bassist...one of my many influences.

[@UKYusei]

gotta love the beginning :)

[@BosGaurus05]

I hope he will do well with metallica

[@HECKproductions]

i think hes rather underrated because he knew a lot about classical music (which is kinda the source of all good organised music) an implemented such stuff into metallicas music... also james or lars i forgot who said that he was by far the most gifted musician of the band

[@Foxx81362]

This was originally recored in 1982 with Mustaine & McGovney.

[@DKTheWhiteMexican]

@linearrecords12 I agree, but I think they didn't because used Jason as a grieving device for Cliff. Plus, in documentaries the band said they never really communicated well with him. However, I wish he would have been allowed to do Ecko Brain & Metallica ]=

[@bob5B]

This guy is amazing 👍👍👍 2024.

[@BulletmanDoom]

He deserves it for sure. Awesome.

[@InsultAlienLP]

love rob! he was awesome no matter where he was... ST, IG, ozzy... hes just a badass bass player! the old ST vids with him in there are frickin funny lol
