Rob Trujillo’s 15 year old son plays with Suicidal Tendencies

Tye Trujillo, son of Metallica’s bassist Robert Trujillo, played with his father ex-band Suicidal Tendencies at the SoCal Hoedown in San Pedro, California.

The 15-year-old was recruited by the band to replace bassist Ra Diaz, who was unable to attend (for undisclosed reasons).

Since Tye has had an amazing bass technique since childhood, Suicidal Tendencies decided to thank the young musician for his support with a video on his Facebook page.
