What kind of deal with Robert get with Metallica?

 

[spudmunkey]

They allow him to turn the "bass" tone knob up to 3.

He got 1 million to join them and he is recognized as a full member wit royalties

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Yeah, Trujillo already had quite the successful music career prior to joining Metallica, it's not like he was an unknown.

I really think that Ivan has great powerful vocals. They have nice simple and catchy songs that are great companion when doing sports, driving car or during work. Not ashamed to admit that I own couple of their records. When looking pictures.....um...

Good on him! When I saw the announcement on instagram I legit thought they were those who guys hang out at small bar gigs and talk about the good ol days when they used to tour with (insert period correct band name). Then they go smoke weed behind the building and try to pick up high schoolers

Truth

Them not letting him write is a total slap in the face tbh.
I hope Andy is given full band member rights for 5FDP.

Loomis got done dirty imo.

Unless you have insight into the actual discussions, he very likely knew exactly what he was signing up for. I doubt anyone would try to lead someone at his level on about what the “job” is.

He’s leveraging that job into further new instrument contracts, etc too.

I'm pretty sure that Zoltan will have no problem letting him write his own solos. He is no solo virtuoso or mustain/alexi egomaniac regardin that.

So I was listening to Andy James' latest album on spotify last night and so many of the songs sound like they're lifted right off of a FFDP album, from the soloing style and riffs. It's like he was auditioning.

I doubt Mustaine has written anyone's solos for decades. Chris Broderick's were far too boring, and Marty's were far too out there. Kiko also sounds like himself.

I was actually referring to Loomis - lack of clarity is on me. In that I’m sure they spoke about whatever is and isn’t expected.

I don’t know enough about FFDP to even guess, but they all seem pumped so good for him getting into a huge band.

I remember him saying that he hummed solos to Marty

oh, my bad Strange that they don't utilize Loomis more. Maybe their writing style is indeed all that different as Amott is saying?

I'm sure Loomis is mad depressed - until he checks his bank account and realized he is getting paid to do nothing at all.

I remember him also saying that he was on so many drugs while getting pulled over only because of his speeding. I highly doubt he had fuck all to do with Marty's solos.

*People raving about the Tornado of Souls solo*

Mustaine, in the background: H-hey, yeah, I wrote that! Wanna hear me hum it to prove it?!

Pay attention, the symbolism is pretty subtle. You might miss it.

Ugh...just watched some more of it. This...this is bad. Like...even the song lyrics, and the video description are level-headed enough to stand behind...but that video? Noooo, thank you.

But to their defense, they've lost a fan they never had, so...I'm not their target audience, anyway.
