Metallica: Kirk Hammett
built 618 days ago
All three bandmembers immediately hit it off with the respected Trujillo, and the hole in Metallica's musical armor was filled. Trujillo came aboard too late to appear on St. Anger. The band members did not seem to be in any rush to hire a bass player. Bob Rock, in addition to being the co-producer and co-songwriter on St. Anger, was considered the 4th member of the band. Bob even filled in (quite masterfully) at a few live events with the guys. But, as Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett says, Trujillo's chemistry with the band is undeniable.

The first Metallica track off the first Metallica record, and it’s a face-melter. Fading in to the sounds of a band seemingly finishing a live song, “Lights” gets crackin’ in a hurry and never lets up. It is immediately obvious just how tight the band plays, and the guitar solos by Kirk Hammett on this track are criminally underrated in relation to the rest of Metallica’s catalog.
