Robert Trujillo on Metallica, Playing Bass, and the Connection Between Surfing and Music
Robert Trujillo grew up on the westside of Los Angeles, where he found music, skateboarding, and surfing at a young age. He first rose to prominence as the bassist for Suicidal Tendencies, which he played in from 1989 to 1995. He was a member of Ozzy Osbourne’s band for a number of years starting in the late ’90s. Since 2003, he’s been the bassist for Metallica. He played-and still plays-with the funk metal supergroup Infectious Grooves.
A goofyfoot, he gets in the water regularly, weaving wave riding into his heavy touring schedule. He’s also a husband and a father.
In this episode of Soundings, Trujillo talks with Jamie Brisick about the moment his life as a musician changed forever, the ebbs and flows of a passion-driven career, the importance of establishing a work ethic, Metallica world tours, Ozzy Osbourne, finding inspiration, playing in front of massive crowds, and staying grounded.

Harrison Roach in “Proper by Any Measure”

While grounded in the helmsmanship of heavy tankers, his approach also deftly ports over to all type of craft, pits, and walls. “Long before he won a world title in 2022,” Michael Adno writes in TSJ 33.3, “Harrison Roach was known as a surfer’s surfer, admired for balancing a career that was made from equal parts curiosity, creativity, and ...

Through the lens of Robin Prodanovich shaping his last board (around the 40,000th of his career), Todd Prodanovich reports on how surfing is losing its greatest generation of high-production handshapers, and what will happen to the culture and practice of building surfboards once they’re gone. “At some point in the not-too-distant future, we will be living in a world in which the greatest gener...
Karina Rozunko in “Title TK”

“Spontaneity is a guiding principle of Karina Rozunko’s surfing,” author Kyle DeNuccio writes in our current issue. “At Malibu she improvises waves with maximalist energy. By contrast, most of her surfing contemporaries seem focused on paring their style down to minimalism, bordering on conservatism, with no movement wasted. Rozunko seems to approach waves without letting the traditional surf-s...

In TSJ 33.2’s “Impact Zone,” author Alex Weinstein profiles artist and surfer Fritz Chesnut. “On a molecular level,” Weinstein writes, “water is the ultimate generator and defiler of the work. Chesnut is there too, of course, trowel and spray can in hand, but he positions himself as both a director of and an observer to the process. On a deeper, intuitive level, the paintings are subtly cued to...

Just can't tell who these awesome athletes are. Too small
Cake eaters ruin everything.
It's great to hear a voice from my long past. At 70, I grew up in Huntington Beach, knowing all the names. I started surfing in 1963, and by 1973, I started building bikes and created the "California Beach Cruiser" bike in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, so I have a long relationship with surfing and bikes.

Inspiring 👍🏼
This is great. Loved the Ozzy and Lars impressions...
Robert is so cool. Loved listening to this. Thanks TSJ!
Sound and waves are the vibrations we tap into. Listening to music and surfing has been at the center of my universe since a little boy. Thanks Robert for sharing your thoughts!
Arto was such an inspiration for skateboarding when I was a teenager. Fast forward 22 years his photography is extremely inspiring as a photographer. Thanks Arto🤙
Incredible.
Good one. Thanks
Excellent interview 👍🏼 Big Props and Respect to Flea and Santa Cruz 🫡
George had his bits and pieces of of wow aint that briliant like many others but im sorry saying George has been over rated. I love the guy. Chris Brock he has been underrated. Real Chris majic guy.
Don't you love real film the way it looks?????
Don't you love 16MM film even if the F stop was way off indoors
No one rode Kirra, on their backhand in the barrel, in the 90's like NP jr. Class act.
Great interview of a legend that's so humble and authentic. Also being so self aware about life's challenges with a passion to help guide and mentor others going through it. Legend in and out of the water.
"Divine" - a person I never knew personally, but a name on many photos that I was very familiar with as a kid tearing through the latest Surfer Magazine. Thank you Jeff and TSJ for sharing all of the wonderful places that many of us can only dream about!
legends
Rest in peace. the amount of people at your paddle out goes to show how legendary this man truly was.
53 years old?? he looks like he was in great shape. anyone have an idea what happened?
I read heart attack
He was surfing up by the light house, and when he got out of the water he wasn't feeling good at all. His family has a history with heart problems, so a few of his friends started driving him to somewhere (i don't actually know where, but i'd assume either his house or South Hampton hospital) . Right as they were passing the Crows Nest, he had a heart attack. Rest in peace.
@@iwantasprintervan omg
Rest in peace
Sick board!
Rest peacefully.
Inspiring! 👍🏼 Whether we remember specific rides or not...I believe we all have images of those "Magic Moments" burned into our minds that keep us coming back for more.
RIP my guy. Glad we enjoyed one last surf
He got told “no picture” and his response is take more? And completely exploit the place?
totally agree with everything said. that's what drew me to his content right away!
He is special

Ending about the 1:11:00 mark where Mr. Clark was describing the differential inherent strength in the blank caused by gravity - I have noticed this too and thought of it as a kind of crust as in a loaf of bread; where the crust is much harder and more dense and thus stronger than the softer interior foam. I didn't know that crust effect was due to the effects of gravity. But makes me wonder if they ever tried spin casting the plugs to us centrifugal force on the entire plug and possibly extend the depth of the stronger foam more deeply into the blank? I'd be surprised if it were that simple but the existence of the stronger exterior seems to imply there is room for improvement if that characteristic could be controlled - perhaps by a pulsed energy of some kind that travels into the interior and affects the curing and size and density of the polyurethane.
Heavy.
Here's a story: after WWII a group of young, talented, and ambitious people connected to the aerospace industry in SoCal take their knowledge and follow their passions into surfboard construction; AND SPAWN 60 years of garage and independent innovation, knowledge passed down word of mouth, and it has evolved into the global thing that surfboard construction is. I'm talking about Hobie, Simmons, G&S, Clark, and then Lis and Frye, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, OC. And all the computers and modern science analysis has only contributed minute refinements, mostly in consistency (I'm guessing Darren Pang doesn't need the computer to get his shapes how he wants them or to understand the tradeoffs in his boards; how did he learn that?). Think of all the problem solving and innovation these guys worked through over the years. For me, the people involved in this story are way more impressive than our billion dollar CEO's (disconnected from everything normal people go through) because they did it outside the corporate system that seems to be gobbling up our world. I'd love to see someone tell it straight, in a nice, thoughtful and quiet way. Take it from the man.
Can you please upload the George Greenough full episode??
The truth of the whole thing. <---i like that a lot ?
He was a dick in the water but I always enjoyed yarning with him away from the surf. I'm embarrassed to say he spoke to me after his face got rearranged in that fight and I didn't recognise him. I hope I get to see him again and apologise. He's been in my life since I was a grom.
Wow - such an important conversation - nice to have a humane voice to the Grubby legacy - intelligent and insightful - an important part of the surfing evolution - I now don't see Grubby as a disgruntled crank - but a tough and shrewd businessman - he deserves a second interview and more - got so much to say that hasn't been said before - (fills in the blanks, as it were) thanks gent, thoroughly enjoyable podcast, GRATEFUL to you both !
Great that you interviewed Grubby.my dad rode dirtbikes with him in Colorado,in the 90s i think.he asked me if i had ever heard of Grubby Clark, 😅
Great story
Something interesting Rolf Aurness is the son of James Arness (born Aurness) actor from Gunsmoke for all of us old enough to remember 🤙
The surf coast was a wonderful playground back then, I guess it probably still is for the few that can afford it.
