This bass line particularly the part starting at 4 minutes was the first thing I learned how to play. My Father heard me playing it and was awestruck. Then he asked "Did you write that"? Another Metallica fan was born. That was a long time ago...
To me, there has never been a song that has captured the feeling, rather, the presence of space like this one. Particularly in the intro, with the booming, vibrating and astronomical sounding bass. It truly sounds like how space looks like. I’m not sure how they did it, but this song is space in music form. It’s so beautiful
I was ten when this song was released. Played it recently for my ten year old daughter. She loved it. Cliff, your influence continues beyond the grave.
@@altantulga8138 thanks for the comment about a “baby” you know nothing about. She’s a musician who happens to have the circle of fourth and circle of fifths memorized, knows the seven modes of the major scale, and has been playing piano since she was five and guitar since she was nine. I think she has the ability to know and enjoy good music when she hears it. But thanks again for your opinion.
not even a little. Compositionally it is probably the closest popular musical genre to classical, sure. But classical music on electrical instruments? Do not be silly
Yeah, but do you want to lose your hearing, because that is how you lose your hearing. How are you supposed to listen to the very music that you love oh so much if you lose your sense of hearing?
I see Orion as a sign of the band's maturity, a stepping stone from Call Of Ktulu, and a symbol of optimism. As though things can only get better. And then Cliff died. Then 1989 brought a more hopeless sounding album and their darkest instrumental. And the progression to hope dwindled.
I see Master of Puppets as the Band reaching towards its Peak, this song epitomized it, the Beautiful Classical Solos on Bass & Guitar shows Cliff Burton's Master Skills of Writing and Performance. He was a Loss to the World.
Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky. It was named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant huntsman whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion.
LOL😀😀, That's sooo fkn true, eh??! I LOVE this one,....... Welllll 2 B honest w. Y'all , I totally grew up with this band and looove all their bad ass songs!! ..... Btw thanks for the song redone its cool man!! HEAVY METAL, -N- ROCK& ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!! 😉
Last night (December 30, 2019), around 9:00, I took my dog Nelson out. While waiting for him, I just happened to glance North, and there, in all its beauty, was the Hunter himself! What was amazing was that the constellation was tipped over so that the three stars in the belt were nearly vertical! I swear I found myself thinking about the song, and could almost hear Cliff’s magnificent bass lines resounding in my mind. It was a truly magical moment!! RIP Cliff Burton! I’m hoping to learn the bass sometime, and he is definitely one of my greatest inspirations!! 🤘🏻😎
I love all those things too and I love belts (especially the deep space varieties)! If 100% pure, authentic, unadulterated love could be squared and then squared again and again to the square of a googleplex number of times, that would be infinitely below the level of love that I feel for this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree. But plz don't say astronomy. That's just the geography of the universe. Astrophysics is likely more accurate. Unless you really mean astronomy, then disagree.
Just heard they are gonna go on tour, I really wanna see how fast that dude on bass’ fingers move. I think his name was Cliff. Hoping my dad can get us tickets!
You made the best instrumental in the entirety of metal even better by allowing Cliff to shine. That, my good sir, makes you a god among men. My deepest respect.
It's Metallica's masterpiece imo. For years I have held the view that this song is the zenith of their music. Every note, every tempo change, every transition, every harmonic, etc. is perfectly placed. It's an extraordinary composition that imo has yet to be matched in the realm of metal instrumentals.
Should be a crime listening to this masterpiece with low volume. I was not born in the 80's, but I can feel blessed to enjoy this piece of art. Cliff was truly a genius.
Once I heard this on a long distance flight back home to germany from vietnam. A few seconds after I've chose this track from the music selection I've looked through the window and saw glorious thunderstorm rage through the cloudy night. It was the most metal moment in my life thus far. It didnt make this up it really happenend.
A similar thing happened to me when I was playing learning to live by Dream Theater during a track workout. We were doing 400 meter repeats and right before the last rep, it started pouring and thundering and I used the strength of the music to help me finish it out in the most badass way possible.
Its really weird how the right music can turn up at the right moment. I remember having a massive asthma attack, camping, lying pretty much on my back, thinking I was going to die. Led Zepplins "all of my love" was on the radio, and I remember drifting in and out of consciousness while iit played thinking "What is this beautiful song that I seem to be dying to" and then I was being loaded into an ambulance (Apparently my brother cottoned on and ran for help, this was in the days before mobile phones, but i was too hypoxic to really remember what happened. Just that tune. I think the tune kept me alive somehow, as if my brain was saying "Must keep awake long enough to finish hearing this song". It took me a few years before I finally worked out what the song was and what it was called.
It definitely sounds a lot cleaner; there's a fantastic separation between Cliff's bassline and the rest of the band that wasn't there before. Thanks for doing this!
My son Orion (Greek: Ωρίων)is named after this song. While my wife was pregnant we used to walk by the lake during covid times to avoid the city, looking at the constellation of Orion. We are both Metallica fans and 2.5 years since then, this is my son“s favourite sleeping song. All of his life so far he has been listening to this masterpiece before going to bed. As a matter of fact he is listening to this right now, as he is slowly falling asleep. I also got astronomy as a hobby. Who would have thought that a young bassist from earth would ever had such an influence to the universe.
@@anicoleligon5452 F# Minor is A Major, the only difference being the latter is the relative major. Depending on the feel of the song you'd call the key one or the other
@@NinjaofApathyafter the first guitar solo and clean bass interlude, the guitar minor thirds harmonies go into F# m / A , then after bass solo it goes back to Em
In my opinion, this is the best instrumental ever. I love The Call of Ktulu, but since this was the last one with Cliff from my favorite album of all time this song has a special place in my heart. RIP Cliff. You are sorely missed.
So.. I was listening to the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th, specifically the ode to joy and the march that comes after it and youtube autoplayed this afterwards. That's so lit.
I'm friends with Cliff Burton's sister on social media. Someone just sent her this video a few days ago and she listened to it and liked it. I bet you never were thinking that would happen when you made this video
I was 11 when the album was released (Masters of Puppets). I remember if it was just yesterday my mom buying it for me at a local music store. When I got to "Orion" I just couldn't get it out of my head...especially the middle part where it's just Cliff...gosh can't tell how many tears I've lost when it would get to that part over the years...We miss you Cliff..
My dad was too old to be a Metallica fan, but he also called me "#1 son." And his musical tastes weren't so bad, but older people born during WW2 (the Zionist Bankster Wars) just weren't wired to be metal heads (most of them anyway.) RIP all good Dad's. Especially mine who was the BEST. I received my Metallica Master of Puppets in the mail in 1986 when I was 11 years old. Get 11 free albums up front and only had to buy 7 more albums of my choice for full price per the contract. Wasn't such a bad deal except this was before CDs and the cassettes wore out. lol
That's because this piece of music is simply transcendent. It's an epic journey into space (or some other world) that is masterfully done, and the sum is greater than the parts even though the parts are magnificent. Every note, every tempo change, every choice made on this track is perfect.
This song kicks my ass just much as it did when I heard it for the first time 33 years ago. My first concert was Metallica opening for Ozzy (My buddy and I were there for Metallica) 7/25/86, Almost 2 months to the day before we lost Cliff. I was 15. They were my shit then, and they're my shit now. Just saw them for the 5th time last month. BADASS. Long live the boys. STILL my favorite band.
I let 5 of my (non metal listening) friends listen this track without showing the title an asked them afterwards what they were thinking the song was representing. 4 of them said 'space' or something related to space. The power of music everyone
Yup thirty years later... Not only sporting goose bumps, tears running down both cheeks!!! Now that's what its like to "feel" life. Cliff 'em all!!! Forever!!! Cheers!
Poor Cliff dying like the way he did......Makes u wonder what other dimensions the band could have taken us to if he was still with us? Freaken masterpiece!!!
Every time I hear this masterpiece, I can't help but imagine an object as common as a box or a wooden block traveling through the vast vacuum of space at the sight of the stars.
This is Metallica's truest masterpiece imo. If there is one track they wrote that will live on the longest, my bet would be on this one. It set the standard for all metal instrumentals to come and I'm not sure it's ever been outdone. Beethoven would have been proud of this. Great job with the remaster btw.
When all metal heads ascend to heaven they will hear instead of an angel choir the most incomprehensible and beautiful bass solo. They will then realize that it is cliff Burton creating cosmic symphonies and creating stars and planets with only a bass, cliff Burton was the beginning and his death was not the end.
showed this to one my friends he asked „when does the singing start?“

It truly sounds like how space looks like. I’m not sure how they did it, but this song is space in music form. It’s so beautiful
Another great space-y instrumental is Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd, made back in 1967 with Syd Barrett.
Check out Set Course for Andromeda by Sithu Aye, he's a fantastic instrumentalist who makes unique metal fusion
Yes I agree this is the musical representation of space, a true masterpiece, that no other instrumental metal track could ever beat.
really start to feel it at 1:45
Planet Caravan from Sabbath is another great piece of cosmic music. If you catgh the feeling of it, it will give you goosebumps, damn trip.

And then Cliff died. Then 1989 brought a more hopeless sounding album and their darkest instrumental. And the progression to hope dwindled.
In my opinion, Orion shows pure genius as composers and To Live Is To Die and the whole Justice album shows maturity.
@etresevo Orion has a sense of wonder and happiness to it. To Live Is To Die sounds aggressively tragic and mournful. Tonally, they're opposites.
I see Master of Puppets as the Band reaching towards its Peak, this song epitomized it, the Beautiful Classical Solos on Bass & Guitar shows Cliff Burton's Master Skills of Writing and Performance. He was a Loss to the World.

no actually he moved on. His soul reincarnated and he may no longer by Cliff Burton but his soul will always be the same!
Sadly this guy has it right. He ceased to be, his brain is no longer observing reality. This will happen to all of us, so plan accordingly.
Second part is one of the most beautiful compositions I’ve ever heard. Genuinely makes me tear up when I hear it. Cliff was a genus

My first concert was Metallica opening for Ozzy (My buddy and I were there for Metallica) 7/25/86, Almost 2 months to the day before we lost Cliff. I was 15. They were my shit then, and they're my shit now. Just saw them for the 5th time last month. BADASS. Long live the boys. STILL my favorite band.
This is definitely the best instrumental I've ever heard.
Try Klutu...
211Appolo true
to live is to die?
This is better than Ktulu.
Better than Voice of the Soul? :')
The best thing you could do is mixing metallica sound and astronomy background.
Love it!

You got me confusee cos astronomy is another metallica song, and i was like...aaa mix metallica with one of their song? Then realized what you ve said
Redi Huqi love your comment
I observe the Orion constellation and listen to this!
I'm right there with ya! I think of this magnificent song every time I see those stars.
This song brings back such awesome memories. Cliff Burton is at his best. Nobody could do it better.
5:43 bass line is just beautiful 🖤🖤🤟🏼
4:02 That sensation man, just a classic from the classics
This is the symphony of the universe.
Good song and stunning visuals. This song never gets old for me... 👽
OMG now i can finally hear when cliff slides up to the 7th fret rather than it being inaudible LOVE IT
INeedAttention exe if you've ever played bass it just comes natural to slide lol
I saw cliff play it live many many moons ago 😁
James Davis jr so you saw them play Orion back then?
learn 2 equalize
+odraleba zerimar lol I see what you did there
I let 5 of my (non metal listening) friends listen this track without showing the title an asked them afterwards what they were thinking the song was representing. 4 of them said 'space' or something related to space. The power of music everyone
Martijn Kemperman It's mostly the bass intro I think, it has a feeling of vast emptiness, like space c:
actually this made all my friends think about punching thru a robot's skull... weird
evalha007 They confused it with Megadeth LOL
The best band from the world
u have... friends?
This sounds like a completely different song. Very cool to hear the bass so clearly.
Magical world of Cliff's bass-line.
One of the Greatest music creation ever
There's simply no way to describe this song.
there is no need to describe it. The song has a meaning beyond our human comprehension.
ForzaClutch fuckinsonofabitchibesteverperiod
ForzaClutch is not a song if they arent singing
ForzaClutch better than sex
What a IGNORANT, Stu....er...yknow...nevermind.....
Cliff Burton's bass skills are like Orion.... it's a bright twinkling wonder that can not be reached by man .....
Don't mind me. Just making a button.

Bass player
Yeees bro!!

6:37
Well then I’ll just give you a better button.
The greatest thing I've heard in 28 years. Many thanks to the creators of this work, the constellation of Orion and the Creator Himself!
Yup thirty years later... Not only sporting goose bumps, tears running down both cheeks!!! Now that's what its like to "feel" life.
Cliff 'em all!!! Forever!!! Cheers!
Poor Cliff dying like the way he did......Makes u wonder what other dimensions the band could have taken us to if he was still with us?
Freaken masterpiece!!!
Lukey 01 probably hell
ORION kept me from taking my life!!.THATS how POWERFUL IT IS!!.WOW!!
It’s kinda different vibe listening it today, the day when Cliff has born. Especially when you didn’t listen Orion for a long time
How to tell if you're playing this song loud enough:
1. Put your Headphones on
2. Make your neighbors hear it.
Machovec
Im all for that, but I'd like to keep listening to music in the future.
Mefalica
Ask Your Neighbor First - if he like to hear Your Music , or anything so loud that he/she can hear it !
The greatest thing ive ever heard!!!!!
i love you for this comment .
Llevo 32 años escuchando este tema y nunca pasara al olvido para mi grande cliff burton
Every time I hear this masterpiece, I can't help but imagine an object as common as a box or a wooden block traveling through the vast vacuum of space at the sight of the stars.
This is Metallica's truest masterpiece imo. If there is one track they wrote that will live on the longest, my bet would be on this one. It set the standard for all metal instrumentals to come and I'm not sure it's ever been outdone. Beethoven would have been proud of this. Great job with the remaster btw.
Best instrumental of all time no contest, what a song!!!!
emotions or vetelgyus by galneryus, the best for me, give them o go ;)
On Impulse by Animals As Leaders is just an amazing piece.
the kall of ktulu is a little better...
Cthulhu has no such progressive flow, it's good but static
bach
That was 8 minutes and 26 seconds ? It felt like 2 minutes ... This is so fucking romantic! I listen to this song every day
I listen to it everyday too. It's the only song that's never gotten old.
Steve Horn it’s a masterpiece!
Listen to the original 12inch am I evil a side Orion bside....
NO PERFECTION IN GENIUS!!!
METALLICA ruels for ever 😈
Lars Ulrik best drummer 😨ever
True definition of Heavy Metal
No se necesitan palabras para hacer una buena pieza musical. Cliff the best for ever.
if the universe was a rock song this is it!
masterpiece. Best instrumental of all time.
It took me a while to find these remastered versions but I'm so glad I did. Cheers Ahdy 👍
Hail Hetfield.
The legend who made me pick up a guitar 🤘🤘🤘
Happy B Day Cliff wherever you are💖
he's definitely online!
When all metal heads ascend to heaven they will hear instead of an angel choir the most incomprehensible and beautiful bass solo. They will then realize that it is cliff Burton creating cosmic symphonies and creating stars and planets with only a bass, cliff Burton was the beginning and his death was not the end.
The Alpha and Omega of bass.
Yes my friend that is the truth.
CLIFF 'EM ALL !!! :D
I remember that awesome VHS :)
A musical masterpiece
R.i.P Cliff ❤️
