    The bass isn't sludgy. Cliff played his bass with tons of distortion. Regular bass is clean and thumps. Cliff was a master. He had his own unique style and it was extremely powerful.

    • @hussarguitar

    • @Grobut81
      @Grobut81 2 роки тому +5

      For those who don't play Bass: Distortion on Bass always sounds sludgy, because the lower registers of the Bass just don't resonate as cleanly as the higher registers of the Guitar. You can get a slightly cleaner sound using Fuzz instead of Distortion, but even Fuzz will sound a bit sludgy on the Bass.
      Infact you have to be more choosy and careful about using effects on Bass then on Guitar overall, because even basic effects like Chorous or Reverb can produce some pretty ugly sounds if you don't know what you're doing.

    • @kevinkesterson1806
      @kevinkesterson1806 2 роки тому +5

    Metallica did a concert with the San Francisco symphony in 2019 called S&M2, a sequel to one they’d done 20 years prior. At S&M2, one of the bassists from the orchestra, Scott Pingle, played a tribute of this song for Cliff Burton with Lars coming in on drums just like he does in the album. It’s an amazing version of Anesthesia, also worth checking out.

    Cliff Burton was every bit as important to bass as Jimi Hendrix was to guitar. Metallica released a VHS tape in 1986 that served as a tribute to his legacy, called "Cliff 'Em All". It's the only video release I can think of that is just as vital as an album. Those high pitched noises at the end were made by Cliff pushing his strings against the magnetic poles of the pick-ups in his bass.

    This LIVE , shows the youth of the band, the RAWness, that they used to have ( they are still Metallica, i know, but father time is undefeated ) And, Cliff was a kind, soul, that just liked to make music..... He is truly missed... Along with Randy Rhodes , DimeBag Darrell Abbot & Vinnie Abbot , Chris Cornell & unfortunately, so many, many more *R I P* 😥
    So, if you just want to appreciate the BASS, as it often seems like the forgotten / unheard instrument of the band.... Here are a few bass players, that should be isolated, and listened to, in their music, or even better, stand alone -- Les Claypool (Primus) , Geddy Lee (Rush) , Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) , Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) , Billy Sheehan (played w/ many bands over his many years) , Jimbo Wallace (Reverend Horton Heat) , Lemmy Killmeister (MotorHead) , Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) , Bootsy Collins (Parliment / Funkadelic) -- and, Les Claypool stands out, among all of them , still to this day, and he does have many bass solos on you tube - and, dont forget - he does the south park theme as well as the robot chicken theme -

    That’s a bass with very, very heavy effects (fuzz, distortion, and others) applied to it. That’s why it sounds more like a very distorted electric guitar. That’s not a typical sound of a bass. And to be honest, I think Cliff made it sound even more like that because it was a solo. He likely used less fuzz/distortion in a band context.

      Oh for sure he used a lot of fuzz in songs too. I just think it’s possible he boosted it a bit more because it was solo. I don’t know of course, but he may have boosted it another 10-20% or so. His bass wouldn’t have sat as well in the mix otherwise. Also, this was from Kill ‘em All, where he used less effects in songs than what he used on later albums

    Fact - the first time Lars and James saw Cliff play in a show with his previous band Trauma, they didn't realise it was a bass, and decided they had to get him in the band ! Cliff lived in SF and they lived in LA - Cliff would join only if they moved to SF and the rest is history . . . .

    I was Blessed to get to see Cliff do this live! I was actually standing with my arms resting on the stage right in front of Cliff here in Kansas City at the Uptown theater! Mind blowing talent...he gave me 1/2 of the heineken that he was drinking and flat rumbled the entire crowd into Oblivion! He was gone a short while later, RIP Cliff!

    There is a great version of his song on their latest S&M album played on a bass (orchestral style) that came out about a year ago (recorded in 2019). Cliff's dad was in the audience to witness the effects of his son's legacy just before he passed on 2020.

  • @melod7670
    @melod7670 2 роки тому +7

    The reason this was so wild back in the day was because it DIDN'T sound like a bass at all. Cliff is playing through tons of distortion and uses a wha-wha pedal which makes the whooshing noises..

  • @stevenwright6573

    This song inspires people to become bass players to this day. It's an EPIC contribution that can't be understated. Also... you can't compare the tones that Cliff got out of his bass with standard bass. He had a fairly modified Rickenbacker and played through a wah pedal, as well as several others I'm sure. His tone was completely unique.

    This Track is indication of why it was such a tragedy he passed so young, he like Randy Rhodes was one of the most innovative players of his instrument type in his generation. he revolutionized the sounds of bass. Its sad that so many gifted musicians suffer tragic deaths.

  • @DeadlyVerge
    @DeadlyVerge 2 роки тому +1

    Cliff was one of the first to use heavy electric guitar distortion with his bass. There's an interview of James Hetfield saying he was driving with a friend to hangout at Cliff's place in the back country after they'd recently met and on the drive they heard what sounded like electricity screaming and wailing in the surrounding hills. When they got to the house they realized it was just Cliff playing his bass with distortion and with the volume turned all the way up lol.. Love your guys' reactions, especially the Metallica ones! Hope you do the remaining instrumentals sometime!!

    All hail Cliff Burton! He could make this instrument sing and dance like no one before or after him. There is a video on UA-cam where he plays this live and it is 120% worth to see the absolute maestro of this instrument at work... He was like an 18 year old snot nosed kid here and passed away in a horrible car crash at the ripe old age of 23. He was just getting started and had a million miles to go and show us what that 4 string instrument was all about. All bow down and hail Cliff Burton and god bless his father who passed away a couple of years ago.

    How cool that they listened to Anesthesia. How did they even hear about this song? Was so hoping it would role into Whiplash. Its really only in the digital music era that the two songs are so separated. Played on an album (as I first listened to it in 1986), the first song just roles right into the second. The two song combo is the Ultimate Metallica IMO. It has Cliff highlighted at his best, it’s off their first album, and Whiplash is an absolutely badass sound with a badass message about Metallica and their fans. The final message in Whiplash is “we’ll never stop we’ll never quit cuz we’re Metallica.” The best. Ultimate Metallica.

    July 16th, 1986, in Fort Wayne Indiana. I was lucky enough to see Mr. Burton rock out live just a few months before he was killed by that damn bus. Amazing performance. Battery, Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), The Thing That Should Not Be, Seek and Destroy, Creeping Death and the Encore was Fade to Black and Damage, Inc. One of the best shows of my life. Cliff "em All!!!!! Opening act....Ozzy!

    @sheldonnicholl3599 2 роки тому

    There's a version of this on the DVD "Cliff 'em All" that is titled "Cliff's Second Show" with Metallica. He does an early version of this. You can see the groove and "stank" he puts into the composition/performance. You can also appreciate the techniques he uses. For example, when Lexi first says "What?!" Cliff is finger tapping. . . . Also, there is a live version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" from about 1985 and Cliff varies the intro bass solo to that song. Worth checking out.
