They were fans of Misfits and Judas Priest. He liked the Isley Brothers and Etta James. They couldn’t have been more far apart.
I like how Metallica's wikipedia page has a "Feuds" section, and most of them are just with former bandmembers. Also "bass, backing vocals" is like the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor of Metallica.
I remember Sammy Hagar did an hour long interview with Trujillo on his "road trip" series, and it was amazing. I never new much about him before that, and what I saw really impressed the shit out of me. I went into it indifferent, and came out of it a fan.
Just pondering the irony of the thread title, My left leg has been knackered since Easter so I've been hopping ever since.
The scene in their documentary when he auditions for them and they turn around give him $1 million on the spot is pretty wild.
41 and a twisted ankle in February is still nagging me. My body does not heal like it used to. I saw a superbike race crash video and apparently they have airbag suits that deploy when they sense a crash happening. Need to market those to old people.
I saw that video clip too. Watched him slide on the ground waiting for the airbag to deploy, didn’t see it. wtf? Slow motion replay showed it going off and expanding when his ass wasn’t even 2” off the seat, heading for a high side ride. Then I thought WTF!?!? Pretty fucking cool tech.
