Hard to believe Cliff was just 24 when he died. I was 7 that year and now I'm 41. Cliff would be 58 now. Much respect to all kids growing up and keeping metal alive!
Ikr. He was already gone for about 8 years when I was born (1992) but he has been so influential in my bass playing. he may be gone, but his impact will live on forever.
@@maketus4975 Dave got cancer and luckily beat it, so that's why Also it's not a fight between him and Dave. They're both the coolest guys in rock history (don't hit me with the "metal ain't rock" thing, metal is a derivative of rock)
I don't complain that they're recording I complain about how they're recording. Big difference is that some people seem to think holding their phone up in the air obstructing someone's view is the only way to get a good recording. All I ever ask for is for people to be considerate of others.
The truth is that we had pretty decent quality camera back in the 80's. I used record local bands on my parents VHS-C camera The quality was close to HD and the sound quality was extremely good due to the large omni -directional microphone. The problem was that those camcorders were huge, but they would usually come with a tripod.
Awesome performance as always. Cliff’s backing vocal is so powerful… he expresses all his inner anger… he’s like a furious lion in a cage. Cliff miss me so much. Love you Cliff wherever you are I hope you’re doing well in a place which gives you all the joy you deserve and that this earthly life didn’t give you. Much love
I completely understand not being able to play as long at a time or as fast as you did when you were younger. I don't understand how his sense of rhythm got worse. I was a rudimental drummer when I was younger. My chops are terrible now. My rudiments are sloppy as fuck and my arm cramps immediately, but I can still keep a steady beat at least lmao
CaptainScarlez - It'll surely be the Mesa Mark IIC+ as the main tone with it maybe run into a Marshall power amp, since it's the Master of Puppets era.
Why? Why was he so great? Don't get me wrong, he could play very well but there are loads of players who can do what he does. In terms of the writing of the bass lines he was just doubling the riffs Hetfield wrote 95% of the time. Of course, he did write some pretty good stuff, bar the horrible solo on Kill Em All, but does he deserve the acclaim? Jaco destroys him for skills and I'm not even a Jaco fan. A combo of dying young and herd mentality methinks.
craig cotter man, you must listen to Metallica with Cliff more often. Cliff was an awesome bass player, and a lot of great bassists say the same. And you can't compare him to Jaco. Cliff was a thrash metal bassist, a real good one, just like Jaco was to jazz.
@@craigcotter7476 I know it’s been 3 years but I read so many wrong things lol. 1. He was good at his instrument. He had very fast playing and managed to follow the insane speed of Hetfield all this while headbanging constantly and doing backup vocals, I think it’s quite impressive. 2. He did wrote a lot of good stuff, most of the songs we remember this days of Metallica had the influence of Cliff or were written by him. 3. “The horrible solo in Kill Em All” is not a horrible solo, but I think you just mispelled and wrote solo instead of sound. Yeah, it’s not the hardest solo of all time and it’s not that creative in the first part since it’s mainly scales but when the drums start playing it becomes very groovy, complex and nice to listen. 4. As someone wrote before Jaco is a jazz musician while Cliff was a thrash player. Besides that let’s not forget that Cliff died at 24 yo and we cannot imagine how much he could have improved with more years of exercise. We can suppose it would have become more tecnical as we can see how it changed from Ride the Lighting to Master of Puppets 5. Listening to “A Potrait of Tracy” by Jaco as a non jazz listener you just hear a dude playing some notes and doing some weird shit with bass, you can only appreciate him if you understand it. Listening to Cliff Anesthesia or Orion melodic bass you feel something, whether it’s the melody or the understanding of the music sheet. 6. Most of the people idolize Cliff for his general energy and spirit, he was a chill guy who would go crazy mode on stage and then after the show take a beer and some weed and call it a night. He also was the skeleton of the band, so when people think of his death they also think about the interviews of James and Kirk almost crying and they empathize with them. 7. Cliff really showed the love for music and his instrument and people can feel that, it’s about the way he plays it, how he moves that make you perceive it. I know it sounds cheesy but it’s true, Cliff was in love with his instrument and his music and what he was doing and that just felt nice.
@@craigcotter7476 lmaoo if you think he doubled james riff 95% of the time you probably havent paid close attention to cliffs basslines. ALSO ITS THRASH YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RIFF ALOT IDIOT
They were better live back then. James still had his voice and they really tried to play the song as tight as it was on the album. Lars wasn't improvising and fucking up every five seconds.
cliffs backing vocals are crazy good, i see where the power of the backing growls on the 1st 3 album recordings came from, god bless his soul and god bless metallica
I got to see them in McAllen Tx of that year a few weeks before they headed out to tour Europe. If I'm not mistaken it was there last stop in the states before cliff lost his life in that buss accident. I was 15 back then and remember hearing this album for the first time was absolutely fukin crazy cuz I was just getting used to the Ride The Lightning album.
Some cool ass cam footage!! That's awsome!! master of puppets was the first concert i ever saw when i was 15 cooked on acid, about 2500 people in Calgary Canada. Been hooked on Mettallica ever since!
this is gold!! one gets used to watch lives of Master of puppets in the later days and seeing this you can tell how tight and amazing they were in the fury days, and with Cliff!!
My sons when they were both Toddlers, simultaneously scream "MASTER" to this day. When they were about 5/7 my youngest stagedived off the couch to live Creeping death , from Cliff em all(on VHS), and hit eldest boy in the tummy. After i checked for damage, both boys were laughing, my eldest asked me if it was very metal to enjoy pain, I said only if you chop your breakfast on a mirror son. My youngest wants to drum because of YOU , Lars. Same as his Father. I stand with Lars as the provider of all drum parts we wish we wrote. My sons first concert was going to be you guys but buisness and ticket providers wanted to charge 125 dollars a ticket. Please come to Chicago again since I missed worldwired... you owe my family a bunch of horse throats, sweaty moshing, and sore necks. Thanks for the lifetime of music I have now delivered to my sons. Your timeless as is Lars constant crash accents on 2, 3e, 3e+, to accent James last uttered word. Lars- there is a 1 in the measure sir.ALL HAIL METALLICA!
Really what can you say except for in that moment the world could not touch them...ridiculously on another level. One thousand percent commitment. The energy and power just makes other modern metal acts look flat footed in comparison. We will never see anything like Metallica at their peak again.
amazing to hear master of puppets live with james still having the master of puppets voice. as much as i love the 89-93 voice, the MOP voice is the perfect balance between the 'lightning' and 'justice' voice.

Hats off to the individual who lugged around that big 80s camcorder and filmed this performance. Thank you.
Everyone talks about Cliff's amazing bass playing, no one talks about his monster backing vocals!
I wish was still alive today :(
Yes, this is a party!
@@empty_set_ Nah, they look as alive as 20 years ago. The point is that they are older and got their fame. Till the black album they were hungry for fame. With the black album they reached it.
The bass is amazing but I’m gonna have to say Jason has the best backup vocals
@@lapinus They're also physically older and just can't move like they used to. Age comes to us all unfortunately
@@JimBob-vb8oz yea but overall, they aged very well actually.
1:29 You gotta love those back up vocals from the guy in the crowd
Camillo A. fastEEeeEeeEEEeer
That was Cliff Burton.
Reel Tech masteeeEEeeeEr was not cliff.
That guy killed me
That vibrato... So good
someone who recorded this should deserved a medal
Hard to believe Cliff was just 24 when he died. I was 7 that year and now I'm 41. Cliff would be 58 now. Much respect to all kids growing up and keeping metal alive!
Damn right.. Keeping metal alive.. 🤘
Its weird since 58 doesnt seem that old now, esp considering im in my early 50s.
Ikr. He was already gone for about 8 years when I was born (1992) but he has been so influential in my bass playing. he may be gone, but his impact will live on forever.
We love Metallica ❤
I’m 58 and my neck hurts for him…..
James literally looks like 2 different people from 1986 to 1989!
From angry little kid hetfield to badass uncle who isn't invited at family gatherings
the power of the good old trucker mustache
he was so ugly, he looked like a high smurf
at least he aged better than dave :D
@@maketus4975 Dave got cancer and luckily beat it, so that's why
Also it's not a fight between him and Dave. They're both the coolest guys in rock history (don't hit me with the "metal ain't rock" thing, metal is a derivative of rock)
we complain about how everyone is recording during concerts. But here we're able to watch this because someone recorded it then. 😅
the thing is, he was the only one recording. Imagine being there and everyone had a camcorder with them
I don't complain that they're recording I complain about how they're recording. Big difference is that some people seem to think holding their phone up in the air obstructing someone's view is the only way to get a good recording.
All I ever ask for is for people to be considerate of others.
Metallica probably paid that dude a fortune in order to use the footage in the box set.
Shivang Bhagat Well that's different. It was this guys job to record but 3,000 phones in one crowd is just a little too much don't you think??
Big facts
Cliff’s backup vocals😳 5:04
Damn
Damn he be looooooow
😈Master😈Master😈
Omg
IT'S BETTER THAN JASON'S!!!!
if someone asks you what is metal... show them Cliff playing a metallica song
Orion!
Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design I would rather show him Jason newsted playing metal,he was satan himself
Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design and alot of people say Jason was better!! LMAO! theyre outta their mind!!
yeah, you're right but when i see Cliff playing i see metal made into a person
I couldn't even hear him amongst the mud.
1:57-2:00 almost brought a tear, Cliff the master.....
To Live is to Cliff!
The energy holy shit..
Clean you ever see Cliff 'em all??
Considering they were kids at this point, the energy is pretty much expected.
@@fridz66 they were in their 20s...they weren't kids.
@@HerotsLament that’s still kids
That was the true Metallica, James had an amazing agressive vocals in that moment.
Cliff's backingvocals are insane! R.I.P Cliff and Ray ❤
Who is Ray?
@@DexterRamone cliff's father
@@yocho8542 - And RIP his cousin Billy and his dog Toby...seriously, who RIPS his father?
@@Fucknuts4u have some respect for his Dad
This song was a classic at the moment it came out.
Imagine if we had a band like this today
Never again
I'm sure there are bands like this today. They are not mainstream, because we don't have fans and crowds like this though.
@@mtc5 true
POWER TRIP. Sadly, RIP Riley.
GOJIRA
Cliff was just in a world of his own. Rip
Man they are on fire in this clip. When they aimed to be the baddest metal band on the planet.
that camera quality looks surprisingly good
back in that time we got bad quality cameras but we used them smartly, nowadays we have high quality smart-phones used by I-diots....
Time traveler confirmed. :D
The truth is that we had pretty decent quality camera back in the 80's. I used record local bands on my parents
VHS-C camera The quality was close to HD and the sound quality was extremely good due to the large omni -directional microphone. The problem was that those camcorders were huge, but they would usually come with a tripod.
Jake Carrasquillo that's what i was saying to myself
Jake Carrasquillo illuminati confirmed
It's really cool watching the band's energy with Cliff!!
Awesome performance as always. Cliff’s backing vocal is so powerful… he expresses all his inner anger… he’s like a furious lion in a cage. Cliff miss me so much. Love you Cliff wherever you are I hope you’re doing well in a place which gives you all the joy you deserve and that this earthly life didn’t give you. Much love
Cliff without his blue jean jacket. Rare moment
1:28 I think grandpa is with us
Yes dude 😂😂
I think grandpa is dead by now, rip, we will all miss those amazing back up vocals
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was filmed 31 years ago and yet it looks 1000x better then the 2017 phone videos that look like they were filmed during an earthquake...
truth lol
1000x? Huh. Interesting.
Chances are it was with a camcorder with a strap that the dude could support on his hand, vs a phone that wasn't made specifically for shooting video
Excessive marijuana second hand smoke= Great videos
Daylight + zoomlens is a huge factor here.
Metallica with Cliff was the REAL Metallica !!!!Yes you know it's the truth
Cliff em all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No one complaining about Lars...he was a monster!
and stills, but without hair :3
“Was” is the key word there.
Got lazy with age is the only problem. No denying he was a beast all throughout the 80’s and 90’s
Lars was a great drummer. His playing was signature. Yea, he let his talent slip. But that doesn’t take away from this
I completely understand not being able to play as long at a time or as fast as you did when you were younger.
I don't understand how his sense of rhythm got worse.
I was a rudimental drummer when I was younger. My chops are terrible now. My rudiments are sloppy as fuck and my arm cramps immediately, but I can still keep a steady beat at least lmao
The guitar tone is so much better than now :-/ better than since the 90's even.
Mooferoo Feels more fresh/live like Ride the lightning
It's Marshall thats why
CaptainScarlez - It'll surely be the Mesa Mark IIC+ as the main tone with it maybe run into a Marshall power amp, since it's the Master of Puppets era.
back when everything was in E minor scale
E
Incredible, fans singing along even back then. This song was an instant classic.
Before the album even came out. OG lyrics and unpolished guitar solo. It's so awesome that this video exists.
If this was July 1986, it was about 4 months after MOP came out. About 2.5 months before Burton died.
Absofuckinglutely
@@jamespratt8221 you can hear people sing the song in the audience lol
The album came out in march '86, this was july of '86
Kirk had to improvise another solo on the spot as he'd broken a string on the guitar, that's why it's different here.
It hurts to think that this was one of the last moments of Cliff's life
I was thinking the same thing
cliff headbanging in half time will always be the best thing ever
Everybody talks about Cliff's masterful playing but nobody mentions his brutal headbanging. 🤙🤙
i still miss cliff! he'll never be forgotten. one of the greatest bass players ive ever seen and heard. made my day to see him!

Metal truly is a young mans game 🤘🏻
All bands lose stamina when they get old... Every single one
Cliff's headbanging, legendary!
34 year old video and Metallica is still out there playing Master of Puppets. ❤
This is awesome. I have always wanted to see more from this performance after watching cliff em all
Cliff had a awesome voice
Jeff Hannemen FUCKIN' SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYER
I thought you were dead
very death metal esque, actually proto death metal.
Mr. Metalhorse shit, he changed his name.. lol
Its unbelievable that they wrote the best album in the history at their age
Nothing better than Metallica uploading an old school Metallica vid \m/
Miss you Cliff👊💀🤘
If I could go back and live the rest of my days in that era... I would. The nostalgia is killing me.
I love how the views spike every time Cliff is in frame
I feel like cliff would've been into death metal
Holy mother of right hand, I'm getting cramps in my arms watching James. I can still play this on guitar just not with the ferocity James has here.
WE WANT MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS PLEASE!
cliffs backing vocals are crazy good, i see where the power of the backing growls on the 1st 3 album recordings came from, god bless his soul and god bless metallica
Omg... I’ve never seen a video with cliff doing bass live. Brings a tear to my eye, thank you
This happened just two months before Cliff died. Master Of Puppets performances with him are sometimes hard to come by on YT.
I got to see them in McAllen Tx of that year a few weeks before they headed out to tour Europe. If I'm not mistaken it was there last stop in the states before cliff lost his life in that buss accident. I was 15 back then and remember hearing this album for the first time was absolutely fukin crazy cuz I was just getting used to the Ride The Lightning album.
That was bad-ass. MoP is a true masterpiece in all aspects. Neither they nor anyone else has ever topped it.
Video quality is good for an old video like this
I was thinking the same.
What makes Master of Puppets to me is my first time hearing James do a guitar solo and it exceeds my expectation.
My favorite era. The pinnacle!
I'm so in love with these old videos.. amazing! ;)
sure miss this time! was at Metallica in september 86 olympen/Sweden that a gig!!
The way James barks that "FUCK ME!" at 05:21 hoooly shit. I'd kill to go back in time and see them when they had this level of raw aggression.
R.I.P Cliff we miss you
I was lucky enough to see this tour twice with Cliff. He was fucking amazing. I wound up watching him more than Lars, and I'm a drummer.
I wish I was alive back then. Unfortunately, my dad was 2 years old.

When Metallica became the new rulers of the world
sat around the 10th row for Ozzy & Metallica in 86.... Cliff was there too....was in San Diego
Damn .. Back in the time, when James' voice was so genuine.
How James plays and sings at the same time, I will never know!!! Damn!!!
Practice. It's not teaching your body to do two things at once, it's teaching your body how to combine the two things into a single action.
He’s So Talented
Some cool ass cam footage!! That's awsome!! master of puppets was the first concert i ever saw when i was 15 cooked on acid, about 2500 people in Calgary Canada. Been hooked on Mettallica ever since!
Everyone is always talking about James amazing down picking. Seems like no one ever notices that Kirk is also down picking just as much as James.
5:47 look at cliff's headbanging
This energy is brutal. Amazing performance!
Cómo me hubiera gustado estar en ese concierto, y poder ver a Cliff.
