ROBERT TRUJILLO Celebrates 20 Years As A Member Of METALLICA - "Much Love To Lars, James And Kirk, And To The Best Fans On The Planet For The Respect, Love And Support You've Given Me"

Bassist Robert Trujillo joined Metallica on February 24th, 2003, two years after Jason Newsted resigned. Last week, he shared a post on Instagram celebrating 20 years as a member of the band.

Trujillo: "Crazy to think it’s been 20 incredible years since James picked me up from Oakland Airport with Lars and Kirk as passengers in his big white truck. That night changed my life forever. Much Love to Lars, James, and Kirk and to the best frikin fans on the planet for the respect, love and support you’ve given me. I can’t wait to take the stage again with my brothers very soon! Peace! And I love you all."
