Trujillo Contributing A Lot To Upcoming Metallica's 'Death Magnetic'

Having clearly been revitalized by the stage presence and energy of bassist Robert Trujillo, Metallica are feeling very grateful for the input he has brought into the studio during the recording of their upcoming album, 'Death Magnetic.'

The album, which is due to hit the street in September has been in the works for a few years and will be Metallica's follow up album to 2003's 'St Anger.' 'St. Anger' was the last album produced by Bob Rock and in fact featured Bob Rock on bass, who took over for Jason Newsted. The band would then go on to audition a number of bassists like Jeordie White, Eric Avery, Danny Lohner, and Chris Wyse, to name just a few and after a the long process, decided Robert Trujillo fit more than anyone else as the band took the band in a new direction.

Video clip :

We caught up with James Hetfield recently to get his thoughts on how grateful he is to not only have Robert Trujillo in the band but how open they are to his input in the studio during the recording of 'Death Magnetic.'

Watch video: James Hetfield On Metallica Open To Robert Trujillos Input On New Album

"Robert Trujillo is an amazing person. His character, his ability on bass. He's already contributed a lot to the record. We're a lot more open to it to. He's fresh and he's open and he's so easy to be around. It's a real honor and we're very grateful to have him in the band. So we're looking forward to how this record is going to come out."

Trujillo, formerly of Suicidal Tendencies and Ozzy Osbourne's band also performed with Infectious Grooves and recorded with Jerry Cantrell and Black Label Society. Metallica's lead guitarist Kirk Hammett also talked about Trujillo fitting in perfectly and feeling like he's been in the band for years.

"He's there for us through any sort of musical situation. I mean, he's just great. He stepped up to the plate. He could follow us. Because sometimes things start moving really quickly us in the studio and he's just right there no problems what so ever. He just fits in. It doesn't even fell like he's a new member anymore. It feels like he's been in the band forever. It's great and you know, him and I get we get to scheme on where we're going to get all our surfing in, in between all these musical adventures."

Metallica are currently touring Europe in support of 'Death Magnetic' which is set for release on September 16th, 2008 as a box set. The band does have one show in The U.S. booked, which is at Ozzfest in Dallas, Texas on August 9th, 2008. Look for the band to announce a more extensive run of U.S. tour dates in the very near future.

The confirmed 'Death Magnetic' track listing is as follows:

01. 'That Was Just Your Life'
02. 'The End Of The Line'
03. 'Broken, Beat & Scarred'
04. 'The Day That Never Comes'
05. 'All Nightmare Long'
06. 'Cyanide'
07. 'The Unforgiven III'
08. 'The Judas Kiss'
09. 'Suicide & Redemption'
10. 'My Apocalypse'

[lonesome mike]

I hope they come out with something like orion again

[dermischa]

awesome!!

i'm kinda excited what unforgiven III sounds like!

[Aidsteen]

Whoa, Unforgiven III... Sexy

[bazman13]

heres hoping it doesnt suck, trujillo is the man

[joshua029]

he's there to contribute, so not suprised to see this. still very excited about the album, make it hurt boys!

[AussieBassKid]

the titles sound cool, special note on the unforgiven three - hoping it's not one unforgiven too many.

the bass lines for this album better be nothing short of insane, or ill be disappointed

[The_String_Man]

I hope he has some bass solos!!!

[Mootallica]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to, as a bassist myself, some killer bass lines as well.

The song titles sound good. Unforgiven III, My Apocalypse, The Day That Never Comes, they sound like good song titles.

[GuitarCrazyFrog]

Unforgiven III.... This is destined for greatness... Hopefully they don't **** it up this time round. They have a good track record for putting out good records, so chances are its going to be good. And this time they arn't BAAAWWWWing to a therapist, so it should be better off.

[winterburn69]

It doesn't sound like 'the new song' and 'the other new song' are going to be on Death Magnetic, with the song titles, I hope 'the new song' is definately going to be on Death Magnetic, cuz that song is so awesome. But those lyrics are from 2 years ago, so they've probably changed. I was hoping there was going to be a title track, and that the cover would be like classic Metallica album covers, with the name all big and going across the top.

[Colton165]

i love how it had the fag from chiodos with the band-aid on his eye for the 'metallica... death magnetic' pic lmao

[z4twenny]

i love the names for the tracklisting. i'm a big metallica fan and they definitely have my attention.

[NeoNoks]

unforgiven III wow!

[skralan]

Unforgiven III will rock so hard!

[Dextermaniac]

This might be something really good. Unforgiven III sounds promising, altho they could break the other two 'Unforgivens' if this third 'sequel' sucks ass.

Furthermore, 'The Day That Never Comes' sounds cool too, it has a 'The Thing That Should Not Be' ring to it, and that's one of my very favorite 'Tallica songs!

Can't wait to hear this shit.

[Death-Speak]

Unforgiven 3 has me worried....

Anywho hopefully the rest of the songs will be as fast as AJFA. I need thrash and I need it now...

[[x]Huffy[x]]

I hope Trujillo has an instrumental track like Orion.

[OK Revolver]

Hopefully they redeem themselvs with this album (not holding my breath), Unforgiven doesn't give me too much hope, honestly.

[highwind5150]

I'm sure "the new song" will be on the album in some way since many of the fly on the wall videos show them jamming on that particular song and at various tempos..

Here is hoping this album will kick ass!

[axeslinger0u812]

unforgiven 3?

uh oh...

[ZamoraZ]

this track list sound pretty nice, Metallica shall rise again!!

[rejected1]

Unforgiven III! That's something else to look forward to. I hope they come up with something more like Dyers Eve, Seek and Destroy and Master of Puppets.

[peachygnr]

some of the names of the tracks of this album are wicked man haha "end of the line"

[marianoarnaiz]

????? The unforgiven III? maybe something like the unforgiven tree? cause the II was for "too"

[Absent Mind]

MY apocalypse sounds like a thrash record for the end of the album like the classics, metal militia, damage inc and dyers eve all are, and I f**king hope it is!

[FirstBlood1973]

I personally love the Unforgiven songs, and by the way, we'll probably here some of the songs soon enough anyway with all the albums that have been leaking recently, I'd say around late next month.

[melvg]

damn man.. unforgiven III.. its gonna kick some big ass.

[whitenoise1313]

All these titles sound so fricking sweet! The Unforgiven III is the song that will make or break this album though, imo.

I lol'd when I saw this

[AmpleSteak]

lonesome mike wrote:

Agreed

[shenanigans]

Wow the song titles are pretty awesome.

"Judas Kiss"
"All Nightmare Long"

[Chewy120]

lol i guess unforgiven III caught everyones attention, i was about to comment on that but it seems that everyone beat me to it

[lilboisX3]

yawn

[FreedomFighter]

I have feeling this album is gonna mastered really really loud. The volumes their recording and doing playback in the studio are pretty damn loud.

Should be amazing tho!

[Vermintide]

"Feels like he's been in the band forever"

Lets be honest, he has :P They got him in 2003, he's already been there 5 years.

[PanteraRapesYou]

huh? I'm sorry but that picture doesn't look like Robert AT ALL... it's like a Rob in 20 years or something... wtf? Anyway... Cool

[Jet_Black88]

Unforgiven II was undoubtedly heavier than Unforgiven...

So what's Unforgiven III going to be like? All soft, or even harder still?

Can't wait to hear it, this is my most anticipated album of the year.

Checked!

[howrylak1]

I hope the music back's up the awesome song titles.

[roarinflames]

unforgiven iii means this album will have to be pretty dynamic
i really cant wait for this

[HoldYourColour]

it ccould probably be like the suicide note from pantera
part 1 soft
part 2 heavy as ****

[Mortalitas]

Oh good lord no, not the Unforgiven III. I despised the first two and it seems it doesn't die. Here was me thinking that Metallica had left that part of thier career behind and were full of new revitalised energy and ideas for this new album.

[mr_tremelo]

I loved The Unforgiven a lot, not so much the II, hope the third turns out amazing. I was really hoping for a Roam II though you know?

[Slaughtered]

I hope somebody read my post in the forums...

[mtllica]

Unforgiven III eh? That sounds promising...I'm liking the track titles, I'm just really dissappointed that they didn't have a title track on this one! NOW RELEASE A F_ING SINGLE ALREADY!!! I NEEED NEW METALLICA!!!

[restless_thrash]

this is promising to be good. I'd love to hear what rob brought to the band. If it's got any of the coolness of ozzy, it will be worthwhile.

[Andras5soul]

is the new artwork supposed to illustrate death AND life?? because it is clearly a coffin/hole for coffin, but it also seems to portrait a vagina. could it be an accident that a highly paid artist would make such an obvious mistake or is there meaning behind the vagina-ish look? haha...i said vagina....

[boyan89]

this sounds like its gonna be a bucket of awesome, i have high hopes lets just hope it doesn't epic fail.

[iplay6string]

in b4 "st anger sucked"....somehow

can't ****ing WAIT!

The solo from Unforgiven is just about the best Metallica solo ever.

[almostdvs222]

man im stoked for the unforgiven 3

[metalonastrat]

unforgiven III!!!!!

[westvipor]

lol, unforgiven3

sounds good

[--Holy--Diver--]

i think i'll be looking forward to this. and in the homepage trujillo looks like a caveman.lmao.

[DouglasDisaster]

Robert Trujillo is hands down the best bass player in rock today. He's the man who saved Metallica. Rick Rubin helped too. I'm waiting to hear Unforgiven 10....lol

[Metonyx]

01. 'That Was Just Your Life'

[Metonyx]

Cyanide is Orion!! I hope.

[Suav Nitebeest]

Oh, the next album will be called "Musical Adventures".

[arondadi]

If the tracklist on this album is like their 80's stuff, then 'That was just you life' will be short, fast and heavy,
'the end of the line' shitload of riffs and stuff, 'the day that never comes' propably mellow like welcome home and
one, 'all nightmare long or cyanide instrumental, then few fillers, and then explosive thrash metal madness in the end,
being 'My apocalypse'. thou I think the last one could be a instrumental and the longest song.

Checked.

[Year Zero]

Unforgiven 3 will be the heavier and faster version of the three songs.

[DieYouBastard]

I can't wait for the unforgiven 3!

[ktulu51]

what are you idiots talking about? The last 3 metallica cd's sucked. The Unforgiven 2 was the worst screw up i've heard since fall out boy came out. This records gonna blow harder than jenna jameson. Also none of the song titles were any good. They mind as well be on some emo cd.

[strat0blaster]

What? A member of a band is contributing to the songs? NO F*CKIN' WAY!! UNHEARD OF!! UNPRECEDENTED!!! This has GOT to be a FIRST in the history of music - I mean - who would have thought that a MEMBER OF THE BAND would actually contribute to the writing process of his own band's album?

Preposterous. Rubbish and poppycock, I say!

I call shenanigans on this!

[ieatoburritos]

personally. i'm ashamed of Metallica. I'll probably never listen to this album cuz its gonna suck worse the a hobo looking to score a couple of bucks in a dark alley. More than likely i'll end up finding that cd on the floor. broken, and smashed into a million pieces so no one will ever have to hear it.

[henraldo4prez]

i find it funny that they made unforgiven III.

You my friend, are not very intelligent. Like stated earlier I'm hoping that this album has some real kickass basslines, or maybe even a bass solo or 2. Looking forward to it! :P

sound like master of puppets mixed with ride the lightning and black album, should be sick

Well if they are still listening to lars's input three will never be another instrumental.

[Thienskater]

hope this one doesn't flop like st. anger

[ZeppelinruleZ]

killer titles, killer fly-on-the-wall footage, and killer hype. hopefully the actual music is killer too, i know it will be.... ps: does anyone else laugh when they see lars and think to themselves how is this guy in one of the greatest bands of all time?

[DroptheBomb]

hopefully reob throws down some efunk on the new record

[Sad But False]

It doesn't even fell like he's a new member anymore.

i know i do now... but back in the day when we had his long hair and wore the sweatband he looked like a badass behind that monstrous white drumkit.

[areese82]

This record just might kick azz! Unvorgiven 3? How cool is that?!

[tallicafan91]

wtf????? you people are all making stupid predictions like "unforgiven III is gonna be very heavy"... or "my apocalyse is gonna be a long instrumental song" ... I mean seriously how the f*ck can you guys say that if none of us have heard anything of the new material... we have no clue of how can the album be like... the only thing I know is that it will kicks ass!! (yeah, I know I'm contradicting myself but what the hell)

[Delanoir]

I'm pretty sure that this album will be most like the Black Album.

1. There's no title track.
2. There's another Unforgiven
3. High-production, Modern, but still metal and not hard rock.

[6Metal6Militia6]

him and I get we get to scheme on where we're going to get all our surfing in, in between all these musical adventures

Surfing domination by Lord Kirk "Wah, Wah, Wah!" Hammett.

I have high hopes for this album, this time the production quality will be very good. I hope Robert will play some bass solos. First thing I'd do is to check out the bass tabs and learn them

[Hells_Bassist]

Mmm, Unforgiven III. I hope it lives up to the first two :o Anywho, Rock on!

[Guitar_Jester]

This record is going to kick some ass!

[ieatoburritos]

roarinflames you ask why am i even here? its because of the fact the a bunch of old guys. [metallica] think they can still do music. james has blown his vocals. lars is an ignorant prick. and kirk uses the whammy pedal too much. they are trying to pollish a turd. am i wrong? try me.

[Th6r6a6sH]

Jeez, the unforgiven III? that's pushing the envelope, but i can respect that, i suppose. I'm freakin serious, if it's anything like the Black album, i am going back in time to live in 1988. This record better kick some g*ddamn heads in, or Metallica drops to a blip on the radar for me.

[SoftParade1967]

An Unforviven III?! Yes!!

[One Inch Man]

i don't need tons of news about metallica. i need the album!!!

[Cobalt Blue]

'The Unforgiven III'?... damn the concept of that song used to just be a joke between my friends and I. "because your also unforgiven... AS WELL!"

[dvd_dq]

sounds good lets hope its as good

[ktulu51]

roarinflames you need to know a couple things that may help you in life. Metallica in the old days were the best band ever. But now they suck. How can all you people think this is going to be any good. Load, Reload, and St. Anger together only had about 3 worthwhile songs. Now people are saying "Death Magnetic" is going to be great? Every song title and the cd title are f*cking horrible. A bunch of 40 some year old metal burnouts are never going to do anything good again. Get used to it.

[thereverendsoup]

So hey! This one might actually be good!

Hopefully he's bringing 'em back around to the hardcore influence that made their early work so damn good.

i never knew so many people love unforgiven II. i personally thought it sucked compared to their first five albums but this looks pretty promising(if they return to their roots.)

hope he does a good job sonce they are letting him contribute, not like they did with jason

I bet you're one of those people who preferred 'Magnetic Death', completely missing the point and the intricacies of the title. Talent isn't something that you lose; Metallica will always have the ability to do what they did in the 80s and early 90s. Off Load and Reload I loved King Nothing, Hero of the Day, Bleeding Me, Cure, Mama Said, The Outlaw Torn, Fuel, The Memory Remains, Prince Charming, Low Mans Lyric and Fixxer.

'The Judas Kiss' and 'My Apocalypse' sound like awesome song titles, but that doesn't mean the songs will be any good, we have to wait for the songs to judge that. And judge we shall...

[Goomba_92]

What?!?!?! The Unforgiven III. The first was good enough and the second was just horrible.

[zakkwyldefan79]

Robert is a great bassist. If he had joined before they recorded Suck Anger he would've tried to get them to fix alot of the things that sucked on that album (All of it).

[Fireballz 1077]

Trujillo kicks ass!

Lmao....He basically started the band, though. I've read Metallica's history, and he was the one that found James and started the band, I'm pretty sure.

[mr. ...]

why is everybody gay for unforgiven 3? anyway the titles arent bad.... much better than i expected

[Dreaming-V]

METALLICA !!!!

[LynchMobster]

I was hoping for a return to the classic metallica format, with the title track as track 2 and a ballad at track 4. Unfortunately there is no title track, but hopefully "The Day That Never Comes" has the Fade to Black/One/Sanitarium feel to it.

[Jackolas]

Cant wait, new album costs £8 to preorder at play.com!!

[Huntingtoner]

Yea, the titles seem pretty awesome. I think everyone just needs to calm down about unforgiven 3, though.

[Tyler Durden]

I was kind of excited till I saw Unforgiven III...

[metallicaboy27]

Cant wait!!!!!RAWR

[mon_the_fraser]

Wow i cant wait for the inevitable excitement and then not really crushing but been-there-all-along that it is not going to be a very good album. It will not be the same as quality good old metallica also you cant judge an album by its titles. Furthemore of course trujilo contributed thats what he is paid to do!

[Megadethfan123]

jejeje i just see this album like another album of 2008, not THE album of 2008, its going to be great for sure. I can't wait 'till next Megadeth album, that's going to be THE album of 2009!!!

[[travis]]

Can't wait for the new album. He sems like a cool guy. I was just watching "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster," last night on VH1.

Ten tracks. What????
Still, The Unforgiven III, Broken Beat & Scarred, and The End of The Line look promising.

[Guitar Newbie]

Give us the Unforgiven THREE!!!!

Unforgiven will beat Rocky Balboa!
Only 3-6 or something...

[chrisofeihenjar]

unforgiven three?they really couldnt find enough material?

[chrisofeihenjar]

err...well then again..it shall be awsome

[Pingis_Or_Death]

The song titles seem uh...a bit cliché tbh.

[ironwolg]

anyone else think the song titles sound Dream Theaterish? should be a great album, all the riffs i've heard are great and with Rob on bass this album should be the best ever! i think he really is bringing the best out of them

[Fazemelta666]

I hope the new song is on ther album, at first i thought it wasn't cos i was told the name was death is not the end. The UnforgivenIII though, they're mad. 2 was enough, but 3? thats just stupid

[dcdossett65]

hah 2 of the track names are arch enemy track names.

[Seidenschnur]

The guys were dicks to Jason and they barely let him contribute to the music. Such a shame. I love Metallica and I always will, but Jason was the soul, Unforgiven III sounds stupid already, and James needs a drink. I hope this album kills, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Mihyaeru]

It seems everyone had the same repsosne I did to unforgiven 3...well not the same but everyone seems to have had some kind of response to it...perosnally i was liek oooo I liekd the other 2 unforgiven songs and this 1 could hopefulyl develop it further, and not just rehash the previous 2....but yeah I'm getting more excited about this album no them ore I hear on mission metallica, but just 2 monthsish to go and we'll find out

[poopdedoop]

This is one more step forward. The titles have impressed me, now only to hear it! I hope this is really awesome! St. Anger made me cringe, I don't want to see a great band become washed up. I believe in you, Metallica! Give us something good! heehee...

[bloodlustx36]

well at least with unforgiven III i know at least it could be like reload, which i like so much more than st anger haha, also from what i've heard of this album (on missionmetallica), it's gonna sound like and justice for all and the black album, and AJFA happens to be my 2nd favorite metallica record

[Curian]

did anyone notice that My Apocalypse and End of the Line are Arch Enemy songs??

[Nerevarine1991]

Cyanide is an extract from a Meshuggah song( New Millenium Cyanide Christ) and Kiss of Judas is already used by Stratovarius.Though, I'll not be displeased if they used these groups as influences.

[axeslinger01]

its gonna suck, all you little fanboys gotta realize metallica are old men now and will/cannot bring the thrash they did 20 years ago

[sneyob]

YES!
THE UNFOGIVEN III!!!

Don't see what the lyrics will be though...
"Because you're unforgiven three!"

[GodofGuitar1991]

why do james hetfield and Lars always talk like their are in a deep thought with pasues in between words and sentences...i think they should make kirk the spokesman.

[Albarranator]

Hey, stop bashing about the name of the songs. Come on, you know how many songs are around there? And how many titles have been repeated? Fuck there should be millions. So don't care about the ****ing titles just wait until you listen to them.

PS: Hope the Unforgiven 3 would be better thant 2. I liked Unforgiven 1 very much though.

Imjust gonna save your comment cuz when this album comes out it will kick major ass and I bet your unworthy shitty life on the fact that when the first article on UG comes up about the album u gonna be one of the first shitheads coming up and saying that u knew he albums gonna be great and stuff. So when this happens I will make u emember what u just said.

There was a unforgiven 2? as if one wasnt enough.

[dale-banez]

haha, watch the unforgiven III be a 150 bpm thrash track

how ironic would that be?

[Keyphur]

Plz UG, enough with the Metallica Hype, every other day we get more news, just let it release!!

[Mauro_0990]

Actually a Devil Driver song is called "end of the line"

[Shredslayer]

The Unforgiven III??? what a trilogy that would be...

[RocknRollRay]

I can't see the video

[Themotherfunky]

I can't F***** wait for this album...I still think they'll be rocking for years...hopfully they make it to 10 studio albums...I'm hoping for the 10th to be a full instrumental album...what do you guys think?

[Ninjamonkey767]

a bassist playing an important role? Now I know it's not going to sound like Justice.

[Rocker_94]

Unforgiven III? Awesome.

[JaIbanez]

wow i love how james and the rest pretty much say a whole lot of nothing about his contributions

[MetalInjected89]

I believe they can do it, Once a great metal band always a great metal band!!

I hope the new song is on ther album, at first i thought it wasn't cos i was told the name was death is not the end. The UnforgivenIII though, they're mad. 2 was enough, but 3? thats just stupid

Yeah, what happened to Death Is Not The End?

[Wudarbassist83]

looking forward to this. if it turns out half assed, im giving up on all new metallica stuff

[Year Zero]

Rumor has it that Unforgiven IV will be on the next album "Ride the Magnetic Rod". Just Kidding I'm a huge Metallica fan and look foward to this albu mand Unforgiven 3.

did anyone notice that My Apocalypse and End of the Line are Arch Enemy songs??

Yeah and Cyanide is a Deathstars song and Unforgiven III sounds like a further descend into Reload, though I am hoping not.

[Guitarism12]

Doesnt feel like hes a new member anymore? Well it has been like 5 years or something...

[GoWithTheFlow]

UNFORGIVEN III!!!!!

[slpknt21]

it looks solid. i hope they have something original on this one.

[jthm_guitarist]

Unforgiven III? That is too far.
I am a huge Metallica fan, but I didn't think even a second one was needed. Especially at this point, they shouldn't be repeating material. We only get 10 tracks, why waste a spot with a song we've heard two iterations of already?

[jonathanonfire]

unforgiven III? holy shit.
lets hope this isnt another st anger.

[GunslingerT]

I wonder if "Judas Kiss" is going to be about Jason and/or maybe Dave....
And I'm worried about "Unforgiven III" are they scrapping the bottom of the barrel for "new" ideas?
And I remember reading something about how Jason was contributing to the whole process in the months leading up to the release of "Load." The article sounds fishy to me...

[SimpleMan008]

I'm embarrassed to say im excited for this albun

[serjYankovic]

unforgiven III eh? im looking forward to this one probably more so than either of the other 2

[Melodethmang]

This album could be terrible or awesome (betting for the latter). Regardless, I am probably going to buy it, just cuz I just need to hear it. They definitely need to release a single soon or something, the suspense is killing me.
It would be awesome if they completely reinvented The Unforgiven into some badass thrash version, IMO.

[Rust&RiverWater]

this is either going to be the most epic metal album of all time or the worst pile of crap ever

cheesy song titles as always but hopefully, as in the past, that's part what makes them so memorable

not getting my hopes too high though, as ill enjoy the surprise of something good more than the disappointment of something awful

[Heid]

Doesn't anybody proof-read these articles?

Anyway, on topic: by the looks of it Death Magnetic will be out just before my birthday. So I know what I'm going to be asking for. Hope to Christ it won't suck.

roarinflames you ask why am i even here? its because of the fact the a bunch of old guys. [metallica] think they can still do music. james has blown his vocals. lars is an ignorant prick. and kirk uses the whammy pedal too much. they are trying to pollish a turd. am i wrong? try me.

I second roarinflames. You're an idiot that doesn't know the difference between a Wah-wah pedal and a Whammy pedal. So seriously, why are you in UG? Please extinguish yourself.

some decent points but yeah, pretty much owned on the wah, whammy pedal deal...

...polished turd or not their shows still sell out every time they play so regardless of anyone's opinion they're undeniably successful and respected...i mean they did change/make musical history from the ground up

I had serious doubts about Trujillo before. In fact I partly blame him for St.Anger.

But, after seeing him pretty much nail Orion live and the flamenco stuff he was doing in those Mission: Metallica videos, I have to say this guy is one heck of a talent!!

Then again, Unforgiven III??? WTF???

[somedude01]

How can St. Anger be his fault when he didn't even record the album?

[BlackSymphony6]

the unforgiven 3 means this will blow big time.

it just demonstrates their creative bankruptcy

My bad! I forgot he didn't play on the album. I guess what I trying to say is that I associated the crapiness of St. Anger with Trujillo, which is not fair.

But now seeing what he's capable of, I think it was definitely a good decision to bring him on.

[scottmcandrew]

This video is from two years ago!

[pootoob]

I reckon unforgiven 3 will be unrelated to the other unforgivens, and they only named it that to generate hype and shit. They are becoming master marketers. I don't like it.

[inlovewithmusic]

cant wait for the new album not matter what anyone says ....the only thing that kind of got to me was how they are being more open to Trujillo contributing to the album ...i mean with all fairness to Jason, he left cuz he was not getting any input into the bands work which is why he started that side project (or at least thats the story that we all know). Guess they have learned from their mistakes...
