Metallica
Robert in Ozzy’s band a year before joining Metallica
Discussion
I saw him in a music video too of Ozzy's. dreamer.
Perry Mason maybe
Didn’t Geezer play bass on that album?
Geezer does play on the album but Rob toured as part of the band.
Source? He’s credited on the album can’t find anything about geezer playing
Going by what’s on Wikipedia. Rob only plays on Down To Earth.
Can’t find that anywhere where’d you see it?
Saw him with Suicidal Tendencies 5 times. Once with Ozzy, once with Black Label Society. (at Ozzfest when they were both on the bill)
So sick we got to see him with infectious grooves in Aus last year.
Sharon was prob paying him $100 a week
What does Sharon have to do with the comment you're replying to?
There is a man prior to a 1 million dollar sign on bonus.
The one time I saw ozzy on tour in the 90s it was with Robert on bass.
He also played in Black Label Society
Here he is thinking about learning the entire fucking album including killing invisible kid only to then never play it.
I wasn't paying close attention during the BTTB performances the other day, did rob get to play with Ozzy at all?
No he didn't.
Ah man that's unfortunate.
He could of at least been in a super group. But maybe because they were opening for Sabbath and Ozzy. He didn't want to. Or he was told no. We'll never know.
….what about Newstead?
He swapped places with Newstead funnily enough, although he did make it onto an Ozzy album
Love his playing on the Ozzy Live in Budokan
Had been since late 90s
Pretty sure that's Moshpit Mamoa
Gawd dayum that's one handsome bassist
Wow, he has really bulked up since those days.
He was pretty jacked then too
Sure, but he has really bulked up since then
i used to buy a lot of metal DVDs and Ozzy Live at Budokon was the first time id seen Rob! also had a BLS dvd he played on, i thought he was so cool. when metallica announced he was joining i was like HEY i love that guy! loved that i already knew him
Where was Newstead?
He left the focking band
Is he not the touring bassist for ozzy?
He did for a few months in 2003
Oh. I thought it was longer.
Ozzy basically picked him up out of touring needs and knowing he was free. Lol
Not saying he didn’t deserve it but it was very convenient.
Thanks. For some reason I thought he was a long-term touring member.
with metallica??
Is he not the touring bassist for Ozzy?
That there is a man who knows how to play Battery using just his fingers
“It hadn’t been done that way since Cliff” (Strumming noises) “It’s like… huh?!” “Yeah, his fingers are picks”
I looked over and he wasn't struggling (paraphrasing)
“To show you how serious we are, We’d like to offer you a miilllioon dahhhlers to join our band”
Survey says, you need cash.
Your money-shot to snatch
a bunch of cash is coming soon.
Win a bunch of money and walk away.
Sharpen that booger picking finger
And be the 50th hihihihihi
“Wow, I honestly don’t know what to say right now” 😅 “Say yes!” 💍
“Some of the other guys, it was like 15% above their capabilities or whatever, you don’t feel that with this guy at all”
“I looked over at him during Whiplash, and he was just right in the pocket and IN there!”
i know how to play Battery using just my fingers. Unfortunately, i can only do it at about 1/2 speed. The fingers just don't cooperate.
