Metallica VS Metallica


Nothing in life is free, unless you’re famous. But even freebies can put you in trouble as Metallica’s bass player is finding out. The band’s bassist, Robert Trujillo, is in the middle of a serious legal battle. He had an existing promotional deal with Fernandes Guitars in North Hollywood. For being able to use his likeness in advertising, the company was giving Robert a pile of custom basses. However, Metallica has its own promo deal with ESP Guitars and now that Robert is part of the band, their lawyers have slapped Fernandes with a cease and desist letter demanding that they no longer use Robert or Metallica’s name or likeness.
