Robert Trujillo Reunites with Suicidal Tendencies for Gig Supporting Metallica: Watch

The post Robert Trujillo Reunites with Suicidal Tendencies for Gig Supporting Metallica: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

Bassist Robert Trujillo joined his old band Suicidal Tendencies and his son Tye Trujillo onstage for a performance of “I Saw Your Mommy…” during their support set for Metallica on Saturday (September 9th) in Glendale, Arizona.

It was a pleasant surprise for those who attended the gig, which was a makeup date for Metallica’s September 3rd Glendale show that was postponed due to James Hetfield testing positive for COVID.

Original support act Ice Nine Kills couldn’t make the rescheduled date, so concertgoers were instead treated to a set by crossover thrash vets Suicidal Tendencies.

Robert Trujillo famously played bass in the Los Angeles band during its prime era — 1989 to 1995 — and now, his son Tye is currently serving as touring bassist. It made for a double dose of Trujillo low-end action on Saturday as father and son ran through the early Suicidal Tendencies track “I Saw Your Mommy…” (from their 1983 self-titled debut album).

The elder Trujillo, who exited Suicidal Tendencies in 1995, also played in various projects such as Mike Muir’s Infectious Grooves, Mass Mental?, Medication, and Ozzy Osbourne’s band before being enlisted to take over for Jason Newsted in Metallica in 2003. He has remained the latter band’s steady hand on bass ever since.
