On This Day in Metal 20 years ago Robert Trujillo Joined Metallica

February 24th 2003

Wow times flies!!

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since Rob joined Metallica.

Just think… Jason Newsted was only in the band for 15 years.

Metallica marked the occasion by sharing a post on social media with a throwback photo from the day, with the caption: “20 years of @robtrujillo and counting! Our brother joined the band #OnThisDay in 2003.”Robert has played on the last three Metallica releases: 2009’s Death Magnetic, 2016’s Hardwired… to Self Destruct, S&M 2 (2020), and the upcoming 72 Seasons (Blackened Recordings).
