Metallica Bassist Robert Trujillo Recorded Backup Vocals on a Song for the First Time
Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo recorded backup vocals for the first time ever. It's for a song called "You Must Burn" off their upcoming album, "72 Seasons".
In an interview on their "So What!" blog, Robert said, quote, "When I joined Metallica [in 2003], I'd never sung in my whole life, so the fact that I can now support a backup vocal is pretty cool . . .
"I'm very proud of that. So we're getting better. We're learning and still growing in this band . . . The respect level is much higher."
Technically he DID record some backup vocals for "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct", but it didn't make the final cut.
"72 Seasons" comes out on April 14th. We have tickets for their listening party at 8:20 am today.

A Rock "Resurgence of Guitars" Is Going to Be Ushered in By . . . U2?
If you're at the gym working out . . . and you're craving real GUITAR . . . do you turn on "Beautiful Day" by U2 and CRANK IT UP?
The guitar isn't as prevalent in mainstream music as it used to be . . . but U2 guitarist The Edge says he wants to kick-start a "resurgence of guitars."
He tells "MOJO" magazine that he believes the "pendulum is going to start swinging in the other direction" . . . and that guitars will start becoming more popular than synths, samples, and computer-generated sounds.
He says there's been "a drift away from the instrument" in recent years, but that Fender is selling more guitars than ever before . . . and they're ready for it.
Bono recently said that the next U2 album will be a "noisy, uncompromising, unreasonable guitar album." And The Edge adds . . . quote, "We are turning the amps on . . . the rock that we all grew up with as 16- and 17-year-olds . . . that kind of power is something we'd love to connect back into."
