I've never heard a more beautiful and sad piece of music then the middle part of this song...
Absolutely.....agree...my friend..no one like that.....fucking masterpiece
Any time i hear cello and metal.... i melt. Truly the greatest fusion music of all time.
Mark Maloney wasn’t actually a cello. Was a guitar feedback trick where you put the volume up and down, if I’m not mistaken.
@@nickcolbert9615 No feedback involved, just removing the attack part of a sound, it reminds bow instruments because they don't produce it.
Really?
At 5:57 when it gets to that part of the song, even after 100 listens, it always gives me goosebumps, especially when they cut to that clean tone. That middle part of the song always makes me damn near misty-eyed. So powerful, so sad, so beautiful. 🍻🤘🏻✌🏼
Oh yes !!!!
same here! reminds my 16yo.
Same here
Reading through the comments, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets kinda emotional from a fuckin instrumental. Gorgeous song. 🤘🏼
I get kinda teary eyed every time I hear it
You're not alone brother! Very very emotional piece!
Id be worried if you didn't feel emotional
That middle part always makes me tear up. The entire song gives me goosebumps
If an instrumental makes you emotional, that's true talent
My aunt Gracie died from Cancer Six years ago and she loved Metallica and this was one of her favorite songs from them. So every time I play this song, I always think of her and look at her picture on the wall. She was a second mom to me. 💜 RIP cliff Burton !
1 . The slow introduction: it symbolizes the feeling of aggression and loss that the band suffers due to their loss.
2. Solo #1 : represents the whole feeling of anger of Kirk Hammett.
3. The interlude (slow part of the intro): it
represents the acceptance of the loss of the 3 remaining members, and the going forward in their honor.
4. Solo #2: represents how deeply the death of Cliff Burton has affected them.
5. On the return of the heavy part, they pay tribute to Cliff by reading the poem, his last composition, and continue with the tribute doing just what Cliff would have expected of them, to move forward with the music.
6. Upon reaching the end, the song returns to the classic style of the introduction, symbolizing the memory of Cliff, which will never end. The final riff is suddenly interrupted, symbolizing the end of Cliff's life, cut short by death at such a young age.
you made this all up
@@furkansavc6602 And? People should have the right to interpret music the way they see fit.
@@furkansavc6602 who said he didn't? This is his interpretation...
@@furkansavc6602 Its called imagination... Use it a bit...
@@TheAdrenalineRush707 more like "cringe"
one of the heaviest riffs every written and it's in standard.
I don’t know man you ever seen that clip of James discovering drop D when recording the sad but true riff? Lmao it sound like a bass with distortion on almost. Then they decided to layer an extra guitar on. Lmaoooo. But yess heavy ass riff thanks to the amazing AFJA guitar tone.
@@hughjoelcock7145 and they put earthquake footage over it lmao
Pascal *chuuug, chug chug.....chuuuuuug*
James: HA!
Hugh Joelcock that wasn’t his first time playing drop D, but they did use an alternate tuning over sad but true, I wanna say they had another guitar tuned a step down and maybe something else to compliment it, I’ll have to look it up cuz it’s been forever since I’ve jammed that tune... but yes, that shit is hilarious and love the ‘earthquake’ effect with cut scenes of people freaking out lol.. love the Metallica behind the scenes stuff, comedy gold
Sad But True is in D standard.
Cliff is more relevant every year. A true legend.
While the jocks laughed at us in middle school for listening to metal, little did they know that we were listening to some of the greatest music ever made... now the world is finding out!
7:47 is easily one of the most anguish filled riffs of all time
I am crying right now ..
I've always thought of this song for a funeral march; it will be mine.
My friend had this played at his funeral. He had the music notation for the main melody as a tattoo
Cliff wrote a bunch of this. It's his unused bass parts incorporated and pulled together.
There's literally no evidence of that anywhere. I'll wait though.
@@beirch You're gonna wait a long time, unless you're willing to do your own research.
The greatest band ever.
You're not wrong bro about the send-off part, but more than just that, this was their way of 'dealing' with this as they were kids basically, and they just went on tour in a couple of weeks after because they never really got into processing the loss of their brother. Also, the main riffs were written by Cliff, plus the lyrics which is why this is the last song credited to him and, obviously, the only one to be so on the Justice album.
Always gives me goosbumps, ALWAYS!
EDIT :
Also...
James plays a solo in this
James has the main notes tattooed on his arm (James was the closest to Cliff)
You're right about not playing it live, they only played ity for the first (and I beleive the only time) back in 2011
The lyrics were apparantely part of a poem (?) but Cliff used to say this line often, and if I'm not mistaken, it's what's written on his gravestone
The song ends abruptly reflecting how Cliff's life ended as well.. which is, yes, emotional and beautiful, but really.. musically genious of a composition all over.
awesome reaction.
done lol !
It's the middle part of Orion that James has tattooed.
So much emotion is felt song a with no words, it dosent need any, it has so much heart and soul
When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home....Cliff Burton R.I.P 😢😓
Easily in my top 5 Metallica songs, beautiful composition. The clean break section is being played at my funeral for sure
@@Slayer23 No emotions true everyone for the ones with it
Totally agree. This song is proof that you can express emotion just through instrumentation. The really impressive part is how many different emotions they were able to incorporate into one song and make it flow so beautifully. I think they may have played it live, but very rarely and it was a long time after the fact before they finally did. Edit: No, apparently they did play it live according to older video footage on UA-cam.
Its James Hetfield on the 2nd solo if I’m not mistaken
Must have heard it 1000 times and it still gives me goosebumps. Metallica are unreal
nice reaction! without pauses, without talking over the song, enjoying it, and 100% natural
you are one of the few who can really feel the music, it’s not just a react but a feeling.
I don't know how to speak other languages, but music is the only thing that understanding is universal
The song Dyer's Eve right after this in the order off And Justice For All, is probably one of may favorites songs by them. Super fast and heavy.
It goes well together, to live is to die is sad while dyers eve is mad & seeking vengeance
I'm not sure if you've already done it or not, but you have to do a reaction to "Orion". Another one that would great to see you two react to is "...And Justice For All"
The tone of the guitars in this album is to die for.
I agree. To me personally I like the album better how it is, not remixed. It's a guitar centric album, and the tone of the guitars is good enough to carry the sound in my opinion. I guess I am a Justice purist, lol. It still has a heavy bottom end even though the bass is low in the mix. To me some albums are just meant to sound a certain way, even if it doesn't meet a certain criteria that people judge to be good sound. Music is not about every album sounding the same. That's why I love classic Metal albums from every genre, because they all sound different, whereas today most bands have similar tone that they are trying to achieve. Albums like Justice have a certain personality and color to them, and they stick out from the pack. Nothing sounds exactly like the Justice album, just like nothing sounds like Master Of Puppets, or Ride The Lightning. That old school style of unique sounding production qualities is pretty much dead nowadays. That razor sharp saturated guitar tone that cuts like a knife through your soul is my favorite, and in my opinion it's my favorite sounding Metallica album. Justice is all killer, no filler. It's one of the few Metal albums with long songs where every piece of each long ass track just keeps ascending, and continues to get better and better as each track moves along. There are no throw away riffs added for the sake of transitions or flashiness where the listener is left waiting for the next part to arrive. Every track is a banger all the way through.
Notice how it ended in the middle of the note? That was to represent the end of Cliff’s life. Cut to soon.
I don't think there has ever been a heavier tone in standard tuning
This song contains the emotions of the band members since Cliff's death. First, anger, then acceptance, and grief, by the way, the second solo is not Kirk but James, James loved Cliff very much, to this day he remembers him at every concert. James tattooed with notes from the Orion song that Cliff wrote on his arm, I really love all of James' grief in this solo
The anger in that grief he feels really vibrates through the headphones 🎧 for me , stunning
R.I.P. Cliff. We loved you 100%. Old phart at 56 years young and still brings tears to my eyes. Salute 07 USAF 1984-1987
Talking about tribute songs , try " low land" by GOJIRA ,a tribute to Joe & Mario 's mum who passed away during the recording of their latest album Magma.the video was shot at their family home,in france...such a beautiful song !
Metallica - My Friend Of Misery
The live performance at rar 2012, maybe the best version ever done
Power Trip - Divine Apprehension
Power Trip - Hornet’s Nest
Power Trip - Crucifixation
The lead singer of Power Trip, Riley Gale, passed away earlier this week. So heartbreaking😢
Rip they were a killer band
Scott Johnson 2020 is truly the worst year. Wtf I didn’t even realize he passed away. I’ve been out of it ever since that hurricane came through my town last week.
Like Gojira would say : " So much said with no words at all , powerful presence for only speech....".people will prefere " nothing else matters" or even "One" but musicians will pick this one up as a master piece ...I know i do--- thank you guys for a great moment , takes some guts to react to stuff like that !!!!
That rhythm guitar part and the harmony in the middle of the song always gives me chills.. Such beautiful and masterpiece of a music.
My best instrumental by far from Metallica got reviewed - spin chilling and epic. I get goosebumps every time I listen to this. R.I.P. Cliff . Way song starts and finishes- beginning of life , end of life gets me every time.
3 year old video but i must say you couple are my favroite reactors on youtube, i love how you let the music guide your mind throughout the song and i can really tell your paying attention, overall i get excited when I see a video of your guys on my recommended reacting to a song i love, the reactions are so raw and so cool, keep making videos because music has become my life blood
Thanks Ethan!
You can tell when someone been through some shit with the emotions of music.
You really nailed the core of it. A somber tone, mixed with the rage of his death. The volume swells that sound like violins, paying homage to introduction of classical music to the band. James reading the poems that Cliff had written down.
It is tragically beautiful. It will always remain my favorite track on the album.
🤘🙌
This will always be my favorite. Metallica track. I would listen to this on repeat while sleeping when I was a teen. Ride the lightning And Justice for all will always be my All time favorite albums from Metallica. This song has so much power and passion. I still shed a tear when hearing it. Thanks for such a great Reaction! You both are Awesome!
🤘🖤
I loved how they included a symphonic element. Cliff loved classical music. R.I.P.
I remember your reaction to Dyers Eve, Dylan - probably the best I've seen.
BRING IT once again ;)
Cheers from Poland!
Cliff is now playing with dime, vinnie And baloff in heaven..
you 2 Are Blessed Now
What an epic song for probably and epic life and definitely an epic career
Only a torn mind could compose such a thing. This song is oustanding
And that´s how you hear/react/jam and then analyze/deconstruct the meaning of a timeless masterpiece! Both of you were very insightful and made very good points regarding the meaning of all the parts in the song. Loved it!
They've played this live exactly once. December 7, 2011 at the Fillmore in SF, they kicked the show off with it.
Fun Fact: If it weren't for that clean melody about halfway through, Opeth would not be around
The middle part is very emotional
Gets me every time. Pure EPICNESS
Never had music get me teary eyed but this song does also wish more reaction channels would re listen and talk over the song like you guys do only channel I’ve seen so that!
Masterpiece.
I've listened to this music so many times, but that middle part always gets me
Gotta do Dyers Eve pretty please! Such an epic album and To Live Is To Die/Dyers Eve round it out so nicely. While most of the songs on the album stand alone nicely, to me these last to tracks go together so well that I can hardly listen to one without the other.
When I first saw the length of the video I figured y'all were covering both songs, as there's no break between the two on the album. Great video as usual.
Please react to either Puscifer: The Humbling River. Or a TooL revisited: No Quarter. It needs to be done! 🤘🤘
Nice beautiful reaction. I saw Cliff 4x in Concert.. He was amazing human. He accomplish so much in short life...
5:57 gets me every damn time! My favorite from them. R.i.p. Cliff
''The call of Ktulu'' is a masterpiece instrumental ,I love how ''the call'' is made by Cliff with his base, its so unique
i always cry during the interlude
rest in peace mister Burton
That smile says it all as the drums come in
That beautiful middle piece was written by cliff
Classic. Love your emotional reactions!
May I suggest Wintersun - Awaken from the dark slumber
3:05 best song ever written!!
I can’t listen to this masterpiece without crying. We miss you Cliff 🤘
Dylan! I hear you talking about how symphonic Metallica is, you guys need to react to S&M2 show! Oh boy, how beautiful is this concert! The songs, the visuals, the San Franscico Symphony... Simply Amazing! Blu-ray and CD just drop last friday. They already uploaded FIVE live performances of the show in their official youtube channel, you guys need to check one of them out!
i like the way both feel the music. only the rock music can give you that experiece
One of the greatest piece of metal history. Thank you both for reacting to it.
(I have ...And Justice For All tatted on my forearm ahah)
Love from France
I like their Metallica reactions. More please. Fight fire with fire would be great.
Love the Metallica video gotta do more please
Hadn’t heard this in a long time, being older and knowing the context of this song just makes it that much more complex
The acoustic version on the boxed set album is really special as well.
Ohhhh boy what a treat!!
Awesome reaction. I love that Deftones shirt 🔥🔥🔥
The middle lead part is Kirk's greatest ever. That mid section still brings tears to my eyes ever since I first heard it on the album , back in the day.
The riff at 3:58 could cause an earthquake
One of the greatest pieces Metallica has written, absolutely love it
Cliff's last credit as bassist of Metallica amazing song cliff was ahead of his time major ragger he will be missed for sure no one has filled his shoes yet
R.I.P Clifford Lee Burton, the great and legendary bass player Metallica may have had, left us at a young age.
You don't even have to react to this suggestion, but check out the cover of this song by sleepmakeswaves. Theiy're an Australian post-rock band but they are diehard Metallica tragics. So on the 30th anniversary of the justice album they got a studio in Sweden (I'm pretty sure) and recorded a live session. Personally I love it and I think they did a tasteful job. Great reaction as always!
Very nice reaction! When you guys react a song, I can feel the emotion of the song with you. Also, please react Dyers Eve!!!
God bless you Clifford Lee Burton. Teacher of Hetfield.
4:42 EXACTLY the reaction I have every time I listen to this timeless masterpiece 🤘
What's your favorite song on Justice Album?
blackened
Harvester, then Blackened
Whole is Perfect
Eye of the beholder and blackened
Love to see some Static-X and Mushroomhead and Mudvayne reacts. And Stranded by Gojira
DEATH reaction/reviews would be awesome 🤘🏻
Do something live from METALLICA off the BINGE&PURGE from Seattle Wa. CREEPING DEATH,BATTERY,MASTER,ONE PLEASE it's SO BAD ASS!!!!
this song will take you on a journey
You guys need to listen to Orion by Metallica, it's in the album of Master Of Puppets, it's the final song of the band with Cliff Burton.
\m/
Please do Opeth - Deliverance studio version!!!
Epic!❤❤❤
THIS is called active meditation
For some reason this was the last Metallica album of the original 5 that I heard. I thought that it was a lot of a different sound and I didn't want to listen to it. But when I did I couldn't stop listening to it. It has to be Metallica's best album for sure.
NEW DEFTONES!! OHMS
🤘🏼🤘🏼 Big fan keep up the good work
my #1 Metallica song.
Cliff Burton is the God Of Bassist.. this were his master piece before he passed...
Nice guys 👍🤙
This song was pieced together with recordings the late cliff burton had made before his passing
MASTERPIECE
💯
Both of you need to react to Orion right now bro, the Cliff Burton masterpiece.... And please react to JINJER - Outlander (Respublica 2015) amazing live version, Tatiana was stunning.
Hell yeah!! Brother
Gojira - Global Warming - studio live version !
The Kings
