Robert Trujillo Thrashes His Way Into Becoming The Third Chicano In Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame History

In case you haven’t heard, Metallica, the band to end all metal bands, (don’t even front), is being inducted into the Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio this April and that means Mexican-American bassist Robert Trujillo will be among them. Robert joins Carlos Santana and Ritchie Valens as the third Chicano to hold this prestigious place in American history. AND, for the first time since the Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame began 24 years ago, you too can now purchase tickets for the event IF you’re a member and IF you’re willing to go to Cleveland Saturday and stand in line in the cold.

A one day, walk-up pre-sale for upper level seating will be available on January 24 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Box Office FOR MEMBERS only. You can register for membership on their website ($50 for “individual rockers”, $120 for a “family roller.”) And tickets are $35-$75. How much do you love this band? Cuz the 24th is in two days, folks. So, like, get thee to Cleveland if you want in on this. The rest of us will have to settle for the televised, live event on Fuse and, for now, the awesome video of Robert tearing it up below.
