Read the statement.
In an interview with KFMX, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo was asked about his contributions to Metallica's latest album, "Hardwired... To Self-Destruct". Trujillo said that in terms of songwriting, his work is more prominent on the previous album, "Death Magnetic"
"This album was different from Death Magnetic. Death Magnetic was a truly collaborative album. This album came from James' riffs.".
We had so many riffs, they all sounded so good that we just started with those. It was an accumulation of James' riffs.
(…) My job is to offer what I can to the band. Sometimes it's through musical ideas, like on Death Magnetic, there were many of my ideas there.
This time it was basically Hetfield. But I support it. I'm like Joe Walsh on the Eagles, like 'Everything to help the Eagles!'
Yes, I'm a composer, but when I'm with Lars, James, and Kirk, I'm there to support whatever it is.”
