Hi, what are you looking for?

KORN Recruits 12-Year Old Son of METALLICA Bassist Robert Trujillo To Fill In For Fieldy

Tye Trujillo can apparently bring it.

Tye Trujillo can apparently bring it.

Having a father like Metallica's Robert Trujillo must be pretty great, if only because you're living with one hell of a bass instructor. Robert's instruction must have done his son Tye Trujillo's playing at least pretty damn well, considering the kid has been recruited by Korn to replace Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu during its South American trek later this month.

"We are bummed Fieldy can't join us on this run but excited to do a few gigs with a young player like Tye. We look forward to welcoming our brother Fieldy back when we return to the States in May."

Best of luck to Tye and Korn on the touring route! We're looking forward to seeing and hearing footage of the shows.

April 17 – Gran Carpa de las Américas – Bogota, Colombia
April 19 – Espaço Das Américas – São Paulo, Brazil
April 21 – Live Curitiba – Curitiba, Brazil
April 23 – Pepsi On Stage – Porto Alegre, Brazil
April 25 – Estadio Malvinas Argentinas – Paternal, Argentina
April 27 – Teatro Caupolican – Santiago, Chile

Fieldy rejoins the band at Carolina Rebellion on May 6. Take a look at Ty's band The Helmets, dude does not mess around:
