Robert didn't just play this song PERFECTLY - he also paid a legendary tribute to Cliff and added his own fucking magic to an already timeless masterpiece. Unbelievable, just fucking wild.
guaripoio Did Cliff know alot about music? Was he on Metallicas most famous records? Could he shred the fukking bass? Yes. But if you look up what Fleming (I think it was) had to say about him he'll say Cliff was a very sloppy player and it was tough to get a clear recording. He even said it was easier to record with Jason. Let's not forget Rob is in his 50's, he's had his whole life to educate himself and learn more stuff. Compared to bananas Cliff was still green when he passed, Rob is turning brown now. It's not fair to compare these 2.
@@BasketCase420 Agreed. I wish My Friend of Misery could've been an instrumental like Jason wanted it to be, would've been real in interesting. Obviously much different from Cliff but I digress. I'll never get tired of Cliff, EVER. Lol
Couldn't agree more. Every time I get to the end of the album, I hear echoes of the "Dies Irae" chant... reminds me of Franz Liszt's "Totentanz." Very badass.
That bass wah gets real annoying and he looks so out of touch with the rest of the band. he's a great player but he looks like he wants to do his own thing
@@andremaximo8898 why are you being such an asshole. This guy was perfectly nice to you and you just shit all over him. Fuck right off dick head. And no Hammett isn’t a bad guitarist
This one was my most favorite track on the Ride The Lightning album for a long while and then I became addicted to the rest of the album. Still one of the best metal instrumentals ever made. Happy to see they still play it live frequently.
8:12 Looks beautiful. So many people judge them, criticize them, demand so much of them as if they owed us something... So many people are too blind to see that they are just 4 human beings -like you and me- making good music together and having fun. Enjoy the chance of being alive at the same time with this legendary band. You are witnessing something truly magical.
He nailed it. Heck, he sounded close to Cliff. Certainly better compared to Jason's version (look up the isolated bass track of his S&M Ktulu performance... he's not in time AND butchers any fast runs).
I personally love Rob's facial expressions, he knows who wrote that song and he knows he's filling his shoes. While those shoes might be pretty big, his feet aren't small either.
Absolutely! People who play guitar will definitely notice that Kirk has regained his chops. In this video and others he seems to soulfully hit the right the notes and stay in key. No doubt, practice, pays off and surely makes his life alot easier. Personally, I don't mind his use of wah as long as the playing is articulate and soulful.
The only bass player who can fill Cliffs shoe's. Saw them 2x and they didn't play this or Orion. Glad to see them playing Cliffs songs again. R.I.P Cliff.
I still can't belive that I saw that song live some 2 days ago... incredible. There are sooo many shows all over Europe, and they exactly picked munich to make me see The Call of Ctulu. Unbeliveable. Thank you, Metallica
This is why Ride the Lightning is my favorite album of all time. You have this amazing 1-7 tracks and track 8 just transports you to another world. The last 8:55 seconds of that album is just unbelievable musicianship on display.
11:48 That Robert's smile is like "did I do something wrong" 😅 No Robert. No you didin't. That was awesome. Cliff is pround of you. You do really good job.
i haven’t heard this song in its entirety for soooooo long. Clearly i have forgotten what epic instrumentals the four horsemen write. Rob, you do Cliff proud.
What we're hearing here is the ghost of Cliff Burton. Back when he was a living member of the band he was not just a bassist he was a lead guitar. He gave Metallica it's rounded out awesomeness. Jason and Rob have done great filling in for him but no one will ever have the genius that Cliff did. Truth be told Metallica would not have become the monster it is without him. Jaymz knows this and you can always see the gratitude on his face whenever they play old school tunes. That being said, I love this band!!! I owe so much to their music.
You do know that Burton didn't play on to live is to die, right?, and that song was written by James. The only Burton thing related to that song is the poem that James recites.
@@southpakrules I agree, I wish they made the song much shorter, if we only heard like 30-50 seconds of each switch up instead of like 2 minutes, it wouldn't seem so boring. But I still love that song, of course mainly for the middle section which I play every day lol
Not cut, shortened, abridged or otherwise! 12 minutes live of Metallica absolutely making this song their bitch. Kirk almost nailed his solos note for note! Completely did justice to one of the most epic tracks in their catalog!! After seeing the amazing live shows this year and Hardwired being a pretty amazing album I'm already excited for the next album..hoping they get on it a bit quicker than the last haha
I mean they took 6 different takes and would see which one they like best so yeah. They were all take one because of the difference in all of the takes. Man, cliff was a legend.
Relax Baby - DEEP SLEEP I saw them play live on the Master of Puppets Tour in McAllen, Tx.. June 5th 1986... I just saw them play live in Austin, Tx.. Last Saturday.. I'm probably going to go see them this Saturday AGAIN.. Gotta Love ACL's double weekend Gigs... TRUST ME they're STILL making Cliff proud...!!!!!!

this was awesome. I use to fall asleep listening to this song every night 30 years ago when I was a kid. I think I'm going to start that up again tonight.
Rob finally gives Metallica back that soul at the bass they've missed since Cliff. He's completely all-in on the part and why the bass functions like a lead guitar in the Metallica.
No, I'm sorry but no. This song is literally the only one where Rob is partially noticed (I mean, this song is practically a bass solo). Rob gets lost, and his presence is literally nonexistent in songs where the bass requires PRECISION like MoP, Ride the lighting, Battery, etc. That didn't happen when Jason was around. I had the privilege to attend one of Metallica's best concert during their peak in 1989 (Seattle). You had to be in that concert to truly feel Jason's influence in the band. In fact, Hetfield and Lars acknowledge that the reason why 1986-1992 was Metallica's peak was because of Jason (In Some Kind of Monster). The bass does not function like a lead guitar in Metallica. With the exception of 2-3 songs (Orion, THE INTRO of For whom the bell tolls, and Anesthesia). But that's.... 3 out of like 70 songs? Burton didn't really write bass lines for the majority of MoP and RTL, Jason wrote Blackened's riff but yet justs follows the guitar except for The Shortest Straw in some parts and My Friend of Misery. Rob? Rob has not written a single bass line in 14 years that he's been in the band. He hasn't contributed anything major that will be stuck in the fans. In fact, in Hardwire, he literally just gallops the open E. Sorry but Hetfield and Lars don't give too much respect to the bass, not just the player, but the instrument itself (Lars and Hetfield literally turned down the bass in AJFA and sneakily turned down Cliff's bass in MoP and RTL except for some songs although I don't blame them for turning down Cliff). This is my opinion btw.
+Juan Correa Sorry but your opinion is just shit. Rob gets lost and his presence is nonexistent in songs where the bass requires precision? Just what the fuck is that? His presence is felt trust me... You went to Seatle, man I really envy you I wish I was there but I wasn`t born yet... But have you been to a concert post 2008? Rob fucking kills it everytime. His bass sound is killer so no, his presence is not lost at all. Rob has not written a bass line? Wrong again, he did not write an intire song all by himself but in DM All Nightmare Long was influenced alot by his flamingo techniques and My Apocalypse too. In Hardwired he wrote ManUnkind and the begining part with the solo is beautiful, its a tribute to Cliff... Also in most behind the scenes videos about the new album you see him, Lars and James (but no Kirk, wtf?) discussing ideas and you see some parts of him in the songs like in Spit out the Bone. Jason only influenced the bands attitude, nothing else, because as far as bass playing goes, Jason was mediocre and he was in fact the one that got lost most of the time and if it wasn`t for his attitude and back vocals the fans wouldnt give a shit about him.
Little Hunter Jason was mediocre? Ummm I guess Blackened is a mediocre song as well as my friend of misery. Having in mind that he wasnt even permitted to contribute. Sorry but your opinion is shit as well. Also, he wrote amazing songs in the Newsted band. That's right, full songs and not just riffs.
Noticed the same! He's like "Lars, you got it still" xD Nice to see how James noticed Robert in the part where they were playing together with Kirk and Lars and Rob came a bit later there to jam.. He turned towards him and played together like he was excusing the moment when he was a littlebit more far away. If you know what I mean..
@Shallex To me it sounds like he came 1 sec too early with the double bass, need to go listen to the album version again. But even if Lars did come in a little late with the double bass, it's a understanable error, it's a hard song and they don't play it very often.
Omg that bass!!! It’s no cliff burton but instead it’s Robert’s go at it and I live it, both bass attempts are perfect, with cliffs WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH and Roberts distorted and crazy gibberish is just amazing
Perhaps one of your most underrated modern live performances of this. The slightly slowed cadence and kirks someone cleaner tone in the first half of the solo was fire
armando santana pava hahaha it's an awesome piece of music... It's like the flight of the bumblebee imitating the flight of a bumblebee but instead it's bass imitating an acient god
i like how at first it was the original 3, and the bass was in the distance, like cliff off in heaven, and then rob joined them as he was welcomed into the band. if that makes sense
I agree. He's almost as good as cliff was . But there was and forever will be only one Cliff Burton. Best bass guitar player to ever live. But Robert is dam near close.
Revisiting this video, again, and, as I watch and re-watch it, I think to myself that they cannot get any better than this.......and then I see the 2018 videos......and.......they are still incredible......need to hear this one on the U.S. tour!!
Ya man and cliff said “I want to be best bass guitar player for my brother” that is we have three albums that are exceeded way beyond long live “Cliff the Orion great bass player” instead of the Orion the great hunter. Thanks cliff for the albums that are beyond us
I agree. I don’t care what people think. We don’t really know what Cliff would be like if he were still alive today. Maybe he wouldn’t fit into the Metallica family. Rob is phenomenal, Cliff as well. But I personally love Jason Newsted. He had a stage presence that was unbelievable. He was so into the music that it’s ridiculous. I miss Jason most of all.
Cliff getting that high squeal noise can't be replicated by Rob 30 years on, another point of how good Cliff was, so early on in his bass playing, yes imagine he didn't die. Oh god, whatever he'd be doing I can imagine I'd be following, just like Mike Patton for his respective stuff. A breed apart
Thomas Barker Rob is amazing don’t get me wrong but he didn’t write this stuff Cliff did so in terms of technical playing ability Rob is on par or even better if you think but creatively you can’t even compare Cliff was a genius
@@TheFrenchmanCooks clearly you don't, otherwise you wouldn't say stupid hating crap like that. Rob's vocals are not on Jason's level, that's true. But when it comes down to actual playing the bass guitar he is more technical. That being sad, Jason was fucking great but so is Rob.
This song… chills me every time l hear it. This particular performance was spot ont perfection… Metallica at their very best. Robert sounds awesome here.
They're my favorite band of all-time! :D ... started playing guitar, because of Kirk ... now I own a few of his signature guitars (rare ones). Def a serious fan haha ... but cheers for checking out my channel, appreciate it!
Best metal bassist indeed. I'm not trying to start an argument, but based on skill, I'd say Les Claypool is the best. Don't get me wrong, Cliff is an amazing musician, but Les has major skills.
I used this song as an example of how a Heavy Metal composure was similar to to music made by the Classical Composers in a Music Application class. Got me an A back in the day and may have introduced Metallica to some people who hadn't heard you , way back when. Awsome live recording of an Awsome song....❤ FK yeah !!!

Agreed rob never gets the respect he so much deserves. He's awesome..
let's face it anesthesia should only be played with fingers not a pick no insults to Jason just a fact and as an intro to Call just great
Cliff looks down from heaven and finds peace when he sees Rob doing the job.
Ashutosh Sharma i prefer rob over jason as far as playing cliffs pieces is concern..pardon my english im asian..\m/
guaripoio everyone is bad compared to cliff
guaripoio very bad? if you comperare them with rift writing yes u are right. But as a player nah both of them very good.

Never expected to hear Pulling Teeth live again to be honest. Pretty awesome.
Call of Kthulu is a classic too though.
He plays it pretty often. Of the 10 times I've seen them in the last 2 years, he played it 6 times
most of the time they play it before they play something from their earlier days like something off kill em all or this
Revanchist let’s see you play one of the hardest metal bass lines from one of the greatest metal bassists in front of a packed out stadium
S&M2
Robert's bass playing intro of Call The Ktulu gives me goose bumps every time I hear this song playing live today.
It's called Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth). An absolute masterpiece from Kill 'Em All.

@Shallex To me it sounds like he came 1 sec too early with the double bass, need to go listen to the album version again. But even if Lars did come in a little late with the double bass, it's a understanable error, it's a hard song and they don't play it very often.
@@gabeaddisonmusic then you're deaf.
Nike_Swoosh it’s called A JOKE
Nike_Swoosh I know that Lars uses double bass I’m a drummer 😂
Omg that bass!!! It’s no cliff burton but instead it’s Robert’s go at it and I live it, both bass attempts are perfect, with cliffs WAAAAAAAAAAHHHH and Roberts distorted and crazy gibberish is just amazing
Cliff would be proud of 'the' solo you did respect brother!
Truth!
7:33 i cant believe how many versions of the same guy are in the crowd.
that’s just what every guy from Denmark ends up looking like
Bill Gates was there
Rob's bass just sounds like Ktulu
Cliff sounded like too! The master recording doesn't...
If you search for live versions of Cliff playing, he did the bass scream loud af.
That was a shitty version. I couldnt play it. Embarrassing….
@@matt84712 damn right you couldn't play it bitch boi. You'll never be half as good as Rob.
chanchos qiieren saber de ustedes!!
Perhaps one of your most underrated modern live performances of this. The slightly slowed cadence and kirks someone cleaner tone in the first half of the solo was fire
Love the lyrics to this song. Very well written.
LIEBLINGSBAND MEINES SOHNES STEFAN ,Danke,,,,
😂😂😂
Lyrics my John My-wait wrong band
Rob was fucking badass.
Traumâțu' Mîț Mîț I was thinking.....
mediocre. :p
Potato, Potato or, BASSass
Listening to this while its raining heavily outside gives a different feeling to the thing.
by far the best track they've done in my opinion and their best album ride the lightning,still sounds crisp and heavy 30+ years on....
I've always thought that this song is about Cthulhu waking up and the bass guitar is trying to imitate Cthulhu's noises
Esteban B jajajajaja you say perfect.
armando santana pava my English is not very good but o think it can be understood
Yeah dont worry,
I just said that you got the idea of the bass very well ;)
armando santana pava hahaha it's an awesome piece of music... It's like the flight of the bumblebee imitating the flight of a bumblebee but instead it's bass imitating an acient god
Ktlulu answers the call he awakes then people dream no more then he seeks and destroys cities and towns when he rides the lighting
8:16 this really does just look like four good friends just jamming.
Jamming with over 10 thousand dollars of equipment
Manu Tequila try $100,000 😜
@@lukeshreds with even more people watching and singing with them lmao
i like how at first it was the original 3, and the bass was in the distance, like cliff off in heaven, and then rob joined them as he was welcomed into the band. if that makes sense
I mean technically it is but like ...... WAY BETTER
Rob honored Cliff
Abdeljalil DAYA no..Rob WAS COMMANDED. so its not honor.
Djal yeah way better than jason
Hell yeahh Rob is a great bassist
This is awesome. I could’nt imagine Cliff doing it much different. Hats off to you, Trujillo👍👍👍
Cliff would miss not the screams,that is THE accent of the song
Fucking super energetic stud!!!
I agree. He's almost as good as cliff was . But there was and forever will be only one Cliff Burton. Best bass guitar player to ever live. But Robert is dam near close.
This is a jam session, no lyrics. I'm 51, this shit was meant for your soul years ago, here it stands, get it, feel it.
In einem so wundervollen Musikstück Werbung einzublenden, kommt einem Verbrechen gleich.
Revisiting this video, again, and, as I watch and re-watch it, I think to myself that they cannot get any better than this.......and then I see the 2018 videos......and.......they are still incredible......need to hear this one on the U.S. tour!!
Robert you’ve done a fantastic job. Performances like this are why he’s my favorite bass player ever.
There is one word to describe this
MASTERPIECE!
Brilliant they where only 20years old when they wrote this.
Ya man and cliff said “I want to be best bass guitar player for my brother” that is we have three albums that are exceeded way beyond long live “Cliff the Orion great bass player” instead of the Orion the great hunter. Thanks cliff for the albums that are beyond us
Samuel Naluktuk there is no one true word to convey the ride of emotions and sheer awesomeness that is this song live
Whatever MetallicA will do, I'll love them. From the snare from St. Anger to teenage agression of Kill 'Em All, I just love 'em.
Rob putting in work cliff is happy I'm happy ...Metallica maestros
Wonderful! Let's play it more, pleeeeeeaaaase! Call & Orion it's a best songs in whole of the Universe!
Sometimes you just don't need words
Rob is no Cliff Burton but Damn he is close enough for me
Thomas Barker Please NEVER compare to Robert with Cliff... NEVER
This
I agree. I don’t care what people think. We don’t really know what Cliff would be like if he were still alive today. Maybe he wouldn’t fit into the Metallica family. Rob is phenomenal, Cliff as well. But I personally love Jason Newsted. He had a stage presence that was unbelievable. He was so into the music that it’s ridiculous. I miss Jason most of all.
Cliff getting that high squeal noise can't be replicated by Rob 30 years on, another point of how good Cliff was, so early on in his bass playing, yes imagine he didn't die. Oh god, whatever he'd be doing I can imagine I'd be following, just like Mike Patton for his respective stuff. A breed apart
Thomas Barker Rob is amazing don’t get me wrong but he didn’t write this stuff Cliff did so in terms of technical playing ability Rob is on par or even better if you think but creatively you can’t even compare Cliff was a genius
8:50, That eye contact between James and Lars:)
Throwing in some extra bass drum xD
He was happy to not hear a china cymbal for once
hard to believe that a group of beer drinking 22y old guys from california wrote this lol
El Cerrito. If you’ve been there, you’d be even more surprised.
yeah dont think todays 22y old beer drinking kids would make this
Just one of them ;)
And one of them knew theory
@@garse70 The fact that both Metallica and CCR are from there is some fluke
Legend has it that when rob plays Ktulu cliffs spirt takes control of his body and when it is finished rob has no clue what happened
Or cliff is just a God
@@TheFrenchmanCooks Jason Newsted had the spirit... but Rob is a way better bass player than him... and that's hurt me because I also love Jason
@@TheFrenchmanCooks clearly you don't, otherwise you wouldn't say stupid hating crap like that. Rob's vocals are not on Jason's level, that's true. But when it comes down to actual playing the bass guitar he is more technical. That being sad, Jason was fucking great but so is Rob.
It happened at this one because cliff died near here
It sure seems like it, cause Rob's performance is amazing.
Can you imagine being 21-23 yo like I am now and writing a song such as Call of Ktulu? I can’t...this song is a masterpiece...
Thanks in part to Cliff.
They got to be in the top five best touring bands ever, right!? I mean the level of musicianship cannot be overlooked.
THE BEST OF THE BEST. Here's what you can do with a guitar... Respect. I always come back to it. This is an amazing performance.
This is good, but it could have used more of me.
Lars Ulrich's China Cymbal 10/10 solid joke
That's a very specific name of yours haha
Lars Ulrich's China Cymbal lol
Lars Ulrich's China Cymbal i love you
Made my day
We are blessed, to have such talent on one stage; for our entertainment
P.s. rob is the best , next to Cliff
Rob is amazing
Appreciate them now and forever, because there won't be another band like them.
No words and you still can feel the effects 🤐 good to be alive when Metallica was performing
This song… chills me every time l hear it. This particular performance was spot ont perfection… Metallica at their very best. Robert sounds awesome here.
8:50 James approves of the double bass haha
NykeFaller Hahaha that's hilarious! He's literally like "awwwwwww snap Lars! Using that other foot over there!" lol
NykeFaller I didn't know that you're fan of Metallica. I like your channel
They're my favorite band of all-time! :D ... started playing guitar, because of Kirk ... now I own a few of his signature guitars (rare ones). Def a serious fan haha ... but cheers for checking out my channel, appreciate it!
He was definitely surprised. lol
NYKE!!! When I saw you here I thought it was a fake account. I didn't expect you to like Metallica.
Лучшая композиция металлики на мой взгляд)) хотя нет такой которая бы не поднимала настроение. Эти парни будут жить вечно☝️
Поддерживаю!
Согласен!!!
can we all appreciate how smooth James guitar sounds
Love how Lars plays for his life 08:11 and onwards. That is called passion. Shivers.
Rob is the reason why i became a bass player
Rutar. RRöd. Lemmy is the Godfather
What about Geezer Butler or Geddy Lee?
Me too! Rob is the best bass player Metallica ever had !!! Who are Cliff and Jason near him ??? !!!
Juan Rezende disagree he didn't write most of the good bass parts
Juan Rezende 1.Cliff 2.Rob 3.Jason
Metallic CA still has that intensity and magic
When the hell Freezes over... The Best and most wonderful instrumental song of the history of heavy metal
I would say Orion is the best
My All-time Favorite Metallica instrumental! Thanks Guys!
no other band has a song like this!!! virtuoso and emotional... ❤💋🤘👍
I love this i can hear bass in this song like finally
I love the two rhythm guitars for this amazing 12 minute bass solo
You can't beat Cliff, he's the best metal bassist out there, but damn does Rob slay that bassline.
Flying To Learn best bassist. Not best metal bassist but just bassist
Rob did own this performance tho
Flying To Learn lmao..cliff is NOT A BASS PLAYER.CURRENTLY..OR OUT THERE. best now is Les Fea n Rob.
Best metal bassist indeed. I'm not trying to start an argument, but based on skill, I'd say Les Claypool is the best. Don't get me wrong, Cliff is an amazing musician, but Les has major skills.
One of the absolute masterpieces from Metallica, great..great...great
I love this instrumental. That bass snarling and crawling beneath the main tune gives me goosebumps every time.
One of the best bass players in the world....De los mejores bajistas que existen en el mundo. Robert.
Si' mone!! (Hope I said that right. Loco pinche gringo forever, lol). 🤟👊✌️
Just love kirks soloing on this one🤟
For real!🤘
Robert nailed it :p the bass sounds so good here :o
I used this song as an example of how a Heavy Metal composure was similar to to music made by the Classical Composers in a Music Application class.
Got me an A back in the day and may have introduced Metallica to some people who hadn't heard you , way back when. Awsome live recording of an Awsome song....❤ FK yeah !!!
