As Trujillo explained, Ozzy had a habit of wandering around the studios talking to the other musicians in the recording studios.

Speaking about Ozzy Trujillo she said: “He was agitated at the time. So, that’s how I met him because he kept sneaking into our studio to hang out with us.” He did it so often, as the Metallica bassist continues, and it happened that: “Then, the guard would come in and say to us ‘Have you seen Ozzy?’ We were like, ‘No, man…’ and he was like, ‘Oh, we can’t find him anymore.'”

Trujillo continues: “All of a sudden he’d pop out, ‘Don’t tell them I’m here!’ Those were good times. I ended up singing on a song called “Therapy,” which was fun, and that’s how I got an audition call a few years later when they were looking for a bass player. So everything falls into place.” Robert Trujillo he ended up playing bass for OzzyOsbourne from 1996 to 2003, when he left to join the Metallica.
