      You probably have already but if not check out the remastered versions of every cliff song with the bass boosted. You can already hear what he is doing if you have an ear like you pointed out. That being said having him basically in lead or alongside it at least makes it all the clearer how fucking amazing he was RIP Cliff we love you.

  • @matthewconner5545

    Cliff’s distorted and wah infused bassline is the eldritch horror lurking beneath the surface that the other instruments ride on. And the solos feel like the panic and madness of those who catch sight of it.

    This Song was originally entitled "When Hell Freezes Over"... I saw them Play it in Orlando Florida Before the record came out... but dont know why they changed the title... And as usual Cliff Burton really shows his passion while playing here in those long murderous growls on the bass at the end of the chord progressions..... its almost like a monster growling - "WAAAAAAAAA" - pretty much ALL of those background growls and tones in the early records were from the fingers of Cliff Burton, dude was vicious, and his head was like, on a FKN swivel... supreme headbanger (RIP)... I miss Cliff. He was a like THE bass guitar Grandmaster.

    The late Cliff Burton was a fan of H. P. Lovecraft work and he introduced this to the band to get inspired. Some of the intros, outros and solos are inspired on his writings, but there are 4 songs on their entirety based on the Cthulhu mythos:
    -The called of Ktulu
    -The thing that should not be
    - All nightmare long, and
    - Dream No More.

    Alex, It's time to "Hit The Lights." "The Four Horsemen" are drawing nearer. We'll be watching your reactions and feeling good with "Motorbreath", it's how I live my life. I can't take it any other way. So come on, "Jump in the Fire" Alex. With some UA-camrs, it's like "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" for them to appreciate Metallica, but not YOU. They can't handle acting like a maniac, "Whiplash." Other metal bands fall onto their knees, for the original "Phantom Lord", Metallica. I have "No Remorse", no repent in stating this. Alex, no more searching, "Seek and Destroy!" We're trying to get the message to you, "Metal Militia" is here with you. Some people ask "Am I Evil?" I am man. Yes I am. So Alex the day is coming. Armageddon is near. Inferno's coming. Can we survive the "Blitzkrieg" of Alex's reactions? YEAH YEAHHHHHH! We'll never stop. We'll never quit. Because YOU'RE Metallica! 🤘🤘🤘

    I saw them in 1986, 5th row center stage. Cliff Burton was the reason I started playing bass guitar and he rocked the fuck out that night. It's nice to see some appreciation for their older stuff, Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets were both masterpieces in their own right.

    I know it feels like a lot, but you gotta do Kill em' all next, and complete the big 4. And then have to try and pick a winner from them. I think mine would be Master of Puppets.
    After that for next full album should be Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden, or Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche.

    Of all the songs on the album to NOT “learn something interesting” about, this was not it. The influence of Cliff Burton and his amazing atmospheric background effects, Metallica referencing HP Lovecraft and the Chthulu mythos, Dave Mustaine’s usage of re-worked themes in Megadeth’s Hangar 18, winning a Grammy for this on the S&M album… some much amazing stuff, bro!

    Edit: In regards to the spelling, I was using Data, on an old, slow, broken work phone, outside in the hot sun, on a bike. My phone made some auto correct errors, and the sun made the screen hard to see. If you see a message, and start freaking out about the grammar to the point you don't even "read" the message, then you need to get your O.C.D. in check, and move on, rather then insult and assume the person writing the message is stupid, and can't spell. Nothing in the world is black and white. There's always variables, factors, conditions, etc. to take into consideration. If bad grammar bothers you that much, stay off the internet. It's probably better for your health in the long run. I wouldn't want you to stumble across something like "hAha, can send u Money tinight" or "WArnings GET too Shlter" have a heart attack. With peace and love, fuck off.

    now, almost 2 years later, i recovered, got back to work, even got promoted and now am stronger than ever. i like to believe that this all started at that moment james played that first few notes of this masterpiece.
