\nRobert Trujillo from the mighty METALLICA jammed on stage with Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela this past Friday night, during their cover of ‘Orion’ at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. The act is known for nimble-fingered classical guitar work and a diverse musical background that fuses traditional flamenco music with heavy metal and rock.

\n
\nMETALLICA’s Trujillo, a well known lover of flamenco-style guitar playing, dropped in for a guest appearance during the performance of the classic metal song at the Riviera, which itself
\noffers a classic feel, as opposed to being an overdone nightclub.
\n
\nRodrigo y Gabriela adds:
\n
\n“Robert Trujillo from Metallica jammed on stage with Rod Y Gab on Friday night
\nduring ‘Orion’!!”<\/strong>
\n
\nThe pair’s new record, 11:11, released September 2009, features 11 songs dedicated to 11 different musical influences in Rodrigo y Gabriela’s lives \u2014 from Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix to the jazz-fusion band Shakti. Alex Skolnick of TESTAMENT guests on the album, as do Strunz & Farah.
\n
\nA fan name Mike (who attended the event) adds:
\n
\n“Was at the show! It was awesome. Rob rocked! What an amazing surprise!!”<\/strong>
