METALLICA's TRUJILLO Assists JACO PASTORIUS' Family In Recovering Infamous Bass

[jhale667]

But, since we were on the subject of Jaco (and Robert T)...

[GAR]

Guys? Guys.. uh

who let the roadie jump onstage with the bass ..

DJ - okay look I'm only going to explain this one time: active bass is for funk slappers, and shifts the tone spectrum up higher, competing with the guitar.

This is wROnG~!! So, so wrong ok. NObody do this. Metallica rightfully down his ass in the mix - nobody cares to hear that "toinkey-toinkey" active bass shit.

[GAR]

one more chance: show me Trujillo plays metal, that he rocks, or STFU cuz I don't get this guy.

He's no Jamerson, metallica should have someone amazing, and yet look who they let in..

[Igosplut]

How about you just shut the fuck up....

[binnie]

I'm struggling to think of who else Metallica might have hired - not many metal bassists spring to mind as being superior to Robert. Maybe Mike Inez is equally as versatile, but I'm struggling....

Gar once again is whining about someone who's abilities are so far above his he cannot comprehend....but then a poor black chile in Alabama playing a diddley-bow with a single string is so far beyond Garfuckle he is completely mystified, and just as angry that he does not understand the crudest elements of what makes a good musician.

Someone amazing?

[jhale667]

Don't bother. Your opinion is a worthless as YOU are. Nobody cares that you don't "approve" of Trujillo; least of all HIM as he laughs his way to the bank. Actually because you dislike him, that means points in his favor!

You've officially proven yourself an idiot on ALL TOPICS: Gear (because you don't OWN any) Tone (because you have NO CLUE how to ACHEIVE one) and musicians - because you NEVER WERE ONE, AND NEVER WILL BE.

So yeah, to reiterate - STFU. :dafinger:

[GAR]

The gleaming RIAA trophies here beg to differ, as I cast for fish from my balcony... and I dont think they paid him $1mil okay.

[jhale667]

The gleaming RIAA trophies here beg to differ

Prove it. Oh, that's right like everything else....you can't. I have a picture a myself standing with an Oscar and an Emmy btw...doesn't mean I had anything to do with them.

as I cast for fish from my balcony...

Ah, found a the fire escape behind the fish monger in Van Nuys was open this evening? Lefty holding your spot while you post from the library?

and I dont think they paid him $1mil okay.

Who cares if it was half or a quarter of that...did YOU get the call?

[GAR]

Why would they call me when I don't consider myself a hired-gun player like Trujillo, mister pointey-hat?

[Hardrock69]

It matters not what you cuntsider yourself to be, we all know you are a loser with a cardboard guitar, so STFU.

[GAR]

If my jazz bass were cardboard, then Metallica probably would be interested in my audition.

[jhale667]

What do you mean IF? Prove it.

[GAR]

I think it's hilarious how your post shows Trujillo squatting across the stage, like he's shit his pants.

Is that supposed to be serious? Wearing your instrument down to your ankles?

It's almost like one could interpret this as he wants the upper horn of the cutaway up his ass.

[Hardrock69]

Ah, letting loose of your fantasies again, eh? Well, you better buy a bass made out of wood. Cardboard probably will not do the trick.

[jhale667]

I think it's hilarious how your post shows Trujillo squatting across the stage, like he's shit his pants.

Yes, well we weren't discussing his stage shtick, were we? True, I've heard it compared to an "angry, caged, constipated gorilla", still note you can't/don't criticize his playing in those clips - but Angus Young's goofy bit is just as lame 40 years later too.

You interpret what you (would like to) think he wants in his ass, not the rest of us. But you're fixated on things like that as well we know...

[VanHalenFan5150]

That's Trujillo's playing style. Like Ed's scissor kicks and jumps, or Pete Townsend's smashing of guitars....

[Hardrock69]

Well, Garfuckle only sees the anal side of it.

[GAR]

True, I've heard it compared to an "angry, caged, constipated gorilla"

It's unprofessional, I didn't know he's doing this self-depricating bullshit intentionally.

Thanks for reinforcing my presuming Metallica can do better.

[Panamark]

After reading your post, I can think of a few.

But they are all Dead

Your point is totally valid.

[Panamark]

Outta left field, Flea ?? Maybe... Longshot I know....

[jhale667]

Outta left field, Flea ?? Maybe... Longshot I know....

From what I heard, the short list WAS Trujillo and Mikey (ironically both Ozzy veterans). AIC was already getting back in swing, so why would he have bailed?

[Hardrock69]

Met Inez a few times.....both with AIC and Ozzy. Nice guy.

[Anonymous]

I hate Trujillo's stage presence. He is a great bass player, but why the fuck does he insist on being one step down in the evolutionary ladder?

Why can't he ever stand upright like a person?

He really looks out of place up there.

Cheers! :bottle:

[jhale667]

He was one of the first people I met when I got here (think we were technically co-workers for a couple of weeks)...totally nice guy. Can't say enough good things about him, really.

Actually ran into him out w/ Ozzy one night, but Ozzy was FUBAR, just babbling...Mike was like "Dude, I'd formally introduce you, but he's not gonna remember in the morning anyway...


And Ima, if you watch the Infectious Grooves vid DJ posted, Trujillo's not doing that stuff nearly as bad if at all...not sure when the gorilla act started...?

[ELVIS]

He never worked at Taco Bell...

[Diamondjimi]

Same here, cool guy. Decent player, but not the guy for Metallica. (imo)

I think they made the right choice with Trujillo.

Agree. Mike was perfect to step into AIC when he did (w/Ozzy's blessing, btw)...

I'll match resumes with you anytime you're ready, nurse.

[Diamondjimi]

I'll match resumes with you anytime you're ready, nurse.

Nurse? You mean, rectal thermometer administrating, drool wiping, bed pan emptying, bum wiping Nurse???
I never knew E was a Nurse. Hmm, must have great access to the "best" meds, eh?!

[jhale667]

Thought it was common knowledge...Oh yeah, you don't post in Front Line much...lol wasn't suggesting he was that kind of nurse...yuck...!

[Diamondjimi]

Well, not saying he has to do those things, but they are generally cuntsidered a nurses duty....

[ELVIS]

Ummm...

That would be a nurse assistant...

[Diamondjimi]

K. But doesn't a nurse start off as an assistant ?

I know, been there/done that/bought the T-shirt!

[ELVIS]

Sometimes...

[jhale667]

What's the career arc like? I mean, how long until one gets to delegate the wiping of the asses and the emptying of said bedpans? Is that done on a rotational basis?

"OK, Here's the duty-roster for this week: Angela, you're on drool this week - I know, you've got Thursday off, so Tina can cover you when she's not doing rectal thermometry. And Larry - since you flaked on your shift without calling in last Monday - you're on ass-wipe duty this week..."

Hey my friend. I just owned you in another thread. Big Time.

[jhale667]

You should probably check before you go all post-boasty on us.

[Jagermeister]

I did.

[jhale667]

I did.

See? And you didn't. The last bit was funny, gave you props for that.


The other shit? Is not tolerated in this forum.

[Diamondjimi]

Back to Jaco....
