Geoff G The best ever and it's still heart breaking to not have Cliff around.Cliff was Metallica and Thrash metal. Thrash metal disappeared in the group after his loss what a pity.
Everyone always says that about dead musicians, imagine if they were still alive today? They would still be doing the same thing. Eddie Van Halen hasn't changed since 1978, Eric Clapton doing the same shit he did in the 60's. Angus, Page, Vai, Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde all the same. Your style is your style. Yes you do progress but historically the most innovative years are in the beginning of their careers. Cliff wasn't even that good, adequate better describes him. Check out Brian Beller. He plays metal, jazz fusion anything, he's incredible and still not the best. Check out Victor Whooten
@@thehonkening1 okay you clearly think you're much smarter than you actually are or you just have a very basic understanding of the english language, so I'll explain this simply. Lund is metaphorically stating that Cliff knew Orion better than any of the other musicians in Metallica by saying that he knew the lyrics. This, of course, is not literally applicable because Orion had no lyrics. However, it's generally assumed that if one knows the lyrics to a song, they understand it better. Thus by stating that Cliff knows the lyrics to Orion, it's a *metaphorical* way of saying he understood the song better than anyone else, since he cannot literally know the lyrics to a song with no lyrics.
I thought of a band called "The Queentallica Zeppelin Experience" Here are the musicians and the instruments they play Freddie Mercury: Lead Vocals/Piano Jimi Hendrix: Guitar John Bonham: Drums Cliff Burton: Bass Guitar What do you guys think?
Mustaine is the true genius of early MetallicA I’d give anything to change it so that it was kirt under the bus instead so that they would of had to beg Dave to rejoin the band
@@frankielove31 what an awful thing to say, you must really be a miserable person. Why can’t you see the positive side of mustaine getting kicked? If that hadn’t happened we wouldn’t have megadeth. Cliff taught the band alot , so to wish someone else died for your selfish needs is pretty disgusting. What happened happened. Grow up a bit
This is actually a really beautiful solo outside of the noisy distortion. He's using rising melodies and accents while also changing tempo some what. It just works. Cliff really was a musical genius. Metallica lost their lighting in a bottle. RIP⚡
easy medium hard expert impossible Cliff Burton Cliff Burton in an alternate timeline where he didnt die and his skills continued to progress till the present day
Cliff was the heart and soul of Metallica. They were never the same after he died; they might have sold a bunch of albums but none of them had the same magic as the first three.
Totally agree, albums after master of puppets is great and all, but that 3 album 3 year run they had was straight up legendary, and a lot of it was contributed to Cliff
Mustaine's song carried them on their first two albums, then Cliff stepped up, then the soul less Justice for All. The Black Album was amazing, then a long, greasy turd
I've never seen this live. I'm a bassist of 17 years and have never seen this live. I've just been checking out other players.. Don't get me wrong, I've always respected Metallica's work. But I'm damn near shedding a tear right here. This shit awesome.
The “bass community” didn’t really take note of Cliff when he was alive. He should be one of the notables up there with Geddy and Chris Squire, but metal was still kinda fringe in those days, so he wasn’t as widely appreciated as he should have been. Nice to see his immense talent finally being recognized by so many.
Cliff was so good that James and Lars uprooted from LA because Cliff didnt want to move from NorCal. He was the only classically trained musician of the bunch and it shows. He introduced what most Thrash and Metal bands still lack to this day, complex compositions that are worthy of Mozart himself.
Man the sheer amount different playing styles that Cliff masterfully uses here absolutely blow me away. They way he'll slap then transition into just abusing the feedback from the pickup near the neck literally made me shed a tear. Plus distortion AND he doesnt even use a pick for of this masterful shredding.... RIP Cliff! Still my hero when comes to the bass.
It's insane how legendary he was at such a young age too. Read his biography to live is to die. It really deep dives into Cliff and his whole involvement with the band. Metallica literally moved to San Fran to recruit him and begged him to play in their band. They knew he was special and they all respected the shit out of him since he was a few years older.
He inspired me to take bass playing beyond just a couple of notes a song. He inspired me to play Thrash Metal. Long live Cliff Burton. Or as Zakk Wylde would say, St. Burton
This guy plays bass insane. Imagine where bass playing would be in Rock and Metal if he were able to continue on. What a fantastic player. it's a damn shame he died. Metallica would be a whole different beast if he were still with them, no disrespect to Jason and Robert, but Cliff was clearly a driving force in the band. Also, I love how excited James and Kirk are to jump in at the end of the song. Great energy.
Dude, there are many great rock bass players, I know that Cliff was unique, but I hate when people say that, just search for more bands, that's another reason of why rock Is dying, cause the people just keeps listening the same rock bands
I saw Metallica live in the Master of Puppets tour in July 1986 San Antonio, Texas Majestic Theatre and I was amazed by Cliff Burton’s bass solo. Every one in the crowd’s jaw dropped. 2 months later I hear on the radio that he’s dead
@@marekprzybyszewski9961 The song is pretty free, but there's definitely a clear pulse that you can feel when you listen to it (and it actually stays quite consistent throughout the "melodic" part - around 140 bpm). For example this particular section pretty clearly has a 3/4 time signature feel to it.
@@m.x.2442 i just say that Cliff played amazing and in the VIDEO kirk doesn't play anything, obviously kirk is an amazing guitar player i don't say the opossite but in the video cliff is the protagonist, sorry if i offended you
M. X. Music has no rules. If you don’t believe that, then you aren’t a musician. ”Breaking rules” is usually what makes things memorable, just like this solo. This is not the average solo, not just with the tone and melody, but also the performance, everyone has a different ear for music, and I personally like this solo more than a bunch of Kirk solos. Making insults towards people for not liking the same stuff you like is very childish. And also, cliff, at that time was arguably much ”better” than Kirk. He had been training for years, 6 hours a day before joining metallica, and even while still in metallica. So stop making childish arguments when you get mad.
yes as far as I know he's the only person I know of to ever get harmonics out of a base but he was using guitar pickups that's why sometimes it' sounded like a guitarit's sad he was so far ahead of his time
Plenty of bass players get harmonics out of their bass without effects. Jeff Ament and Stu Hamm 2 of my favourites. Just not commonly heard. These harmonics just scream, such an unexpected surprise, and it just rips my face off every time.
I was there too. Majestic Theater July 1986 Master of Puppets tour. The Godz were the opening act. We were lucky to see him live that day because he died 2 months later in September
Well that's the side of the coin you'll never see. If he continued with the same personality he was at his twenties, I'd reckon Metallica would not have become a frontline band, but stayed at tops in the middle league. Musically different, sure. Or they might have sacked Cliff for someone else, and/or disbanded way early, due to disagreements, musical and otherwise - especially if Dave was there.
*Entirety of song* : camera shows Cliff, camera does fine *Cameraman decides to film Lars for a couple of seconds* : video instantly glitches, then comes back to ok when focus is on Cliff again I guess something's wrong here

My dad shared a story of his friends meeting Cliff in a food court in a convention center. My dad was so hurt he didn’t get to meet him. They said he was such a nice dude. Makes me love him even more.
Thank God that someone had to good sense to record this particular performance on film, not just audio. Otherwise, only the people who were there would truly know about this CRAZY KICK ASS show that Cliff graced everyone with!
My jaw still hangs open whenever I see or hear Cliff shred the hell out of that bass! I'm still completely blown away! Shame he had to leave us way too soon. 😔💞
I remember having Deja Vu about this solo and I became almost obsessed with this style of bass playing. Then, after spending some time looking for it I finally found it and fell in love with Metallica quickly. R.I.P. Cliff Burton, you were taken from us too soon.

In 1983.. Was just a teen.. Metallic hadn't sold out yet.. Sold themselves I mean.. Still kick ass heavy no one else listened to but misfits like myself. What you are watching is one of the greatest bass players of all time. R.I.P brother
You have to understand, they just progressed. No thrash metal band has become a household name. Even metallicas later albums were really good for what they were.
If your God is so great, where in the Bible does it mention that he used a Wah pedal and played bass solos in metal? Huh? Nowhere? Checkmate christians
I have to be honest, never knew he was this talented. Thank you for this post which is often deleted for copyright reasons. Burton will be missed but not forgotten. Maybe not quite Jaco's fame, but maybe he should be.
When I first heard this I thought to myself I wanna do that! So I got a bass and started learning. 18 years later and still not even close. I still watch in awe every time.
Definitely one of the best bassists ever. He plays the bass like a lead guitarist would play a guitar solo. RIP Cliff Burton. You are missed by all of us.
Vom aller feinsten !!!!! Das kann niemand so nachspielen !!!!!Ein Bassist nicht von dieser Welt , leider viel zu früh von uns gegangen!! "Cliff Burton"möge Gott bei Dir sein !!!!
They never die if we remember them, he's never gone because we have recordings, let the music live through our love and our offspring, never let Cliff's music die.
I'm 15 y.o. bassist and Cliff was my reason why start to playing bass. Since my age of 8 is Cliffy my biggest idol and inspiration. We miss ya Cliff. R.I.P.🥺🥴🤘
Without a doubt the greatest bass soloist that ever lived, in upmost respect and admiration for the man he is loved and missed by many. As a lil kid I was blessed to have been introduced to him through my older brother Frank! You are forever missed and loved by many Cliff
38 years ago today, a man has died and a legend is born... Back then I had just discovered Metallica few months ago (and also started trying to play bass), and me and my friends were waiting to go to see them in concert in autumn, then came the news of Cliff's death...

Pfft. Charles Berthoud is 10x better. He was good for his time.
pinch harmonics 3:13 and tap harmonics 3:33 like a boss
I have to be honest, never knew he was this talented. Thank you for this post which is often deleted for copyright reasons. Burton will be missed but not forgotten. Maybe not quite Jaco's fame, but maybe he should be.
I didn’t know God played Bass for Metallica...
Roy Crabb lmao he doesnt hes splattered along a highway
@@TexasPoonTappa956 titty boy? Lmao what a Loser!
Thank you Jerk On.
@ Roy Crabb he didn't. God could never be that good.
Yes he did... R.I.P Lemmy ♤
R.I.P Cliff
Totally Amazing here, WoW, My Kind of Bass Player, R.I.P. Cliff, You Left us Way Too Soon, You Were A Diamond, Cousin Figel
When I first heard this I thought to myself I wanna do that! So I got a bass and started learning. 18 years later and still not even close. I still watch in awe every time.
Just practice and practice and practice. He did for 6 hours each day. You’ll get there :)
Happy birthday Cliff
Tan bonito el otro xdddddd
Hey look its his birthday again. Happy birthsay cliff!
absolutely killer tone... gonna go get me a wah pedal now. Thanx, Cliff
WLTRN 2KL8 You might not wanna grab the type of pedal he used lol. Run ya about 150 or more.
@@Lithuania8634 yeah. 150,000 😂
@@beltube Damn it ain't that expensive. I got mine for 115
yeah i got ya... it was a poor attempt at a joke, don't worry bout it
@SkyVenomZero funny, i actually got a Morley wah since my last comment, though Kirk hasn't arrived yet.
....YET.
Such a unique sound outta this dude. No one else like him. 🤘🏼
Definitely one of the best bassists ever. He plays the bass like a lead guitarist would play a guitar solo.
RIP Cliff Burton. You are missed by all of us.
Vom aller feinsten !!!!! Das kann niemand so nachspielen !!!!!Ein Bassist nicht von dieser Welt , leider viel zu früh von uns gegangen!! "Cliff Burton"möge Gott bei Dir sein !!!!
They never die if we remember them, he's never gone because we have recordings, let the music live through our love and our offspring, never let Cliff's music die.
El mejor bajista de toda la historia una verdadera leyenda
I was surprised that the guitar solos on "Orion" are basically just Cliff - on bass.. wtf..
Yes, it is. Not the whole part, but the big one.
I’ve always been proud that I share a birthday with Cliff! Rock on dude! RIP
I'm 15 y.o. bassist and Cliff was my reason why start to playing bass. Since my age of 8 is Cliffy my biggest idol and inspiration. We miss ya Cliff. R.I.P.🥺🥴🤘
Cliff, come back...
CLASSIC MUSIC + SOUTHERN ROCK . Its amazing.
And the Father said let there be Bass & there was Cliff 🙌🏻
goddamn those Rickenbackers... *sigh*.
P.S.--I have never seen a dude pull off denim on denim like Cliff. Haha. Best musician faces.
he is like dimebag darrel..can make instrument have a soul..ROCK IN HEAVEN DUDE!!
Kirk looking confused: "wait, is that supposed to be my part?"
Now you know why Kirk did his solo first before Cliff did his. Kirk would have been laughed out of the building trying to follow that up.
Cliff Taught Kirk. He was still using licks Cliff taught him all the way through the Black Album.
Someone:
Hey Cliff what kind of girls are you into?
Cliff:
bASSES!
Hey Cliff are you a boobs or an ass guy?
Cliff: *BASS*
@@mysteretsym STOLEN! BUT STILL EPICO
Cliff: big bASS girls.
This comment doesn't even make sense. Basically you're saying he was into girls with asses? The last time I checked all women have asses.
2:34 "where the hell are you, Lars?"
Lol he’s like, “the fuck, man?!?” Lol
too busy scratching his head and wondering what he's gonna eat for dinner
We love you Cliff 🤘
I was at this show in my dreams!
2:30 was the moment he became possessed. I almost cried 20 seconds in. It was like watching a baby being born. Greatest guitar solo. Ever!!!!!!
Neldawg Its a bass solo lol
i like how his fingers look like octopus when he play both D and G strings before drums enter
RIP Cliff Burton.... Your legend lives on...
This bass is so beautiful
DEDEDE en vara and super expensive to get one from the same model year as his
Impeccable timing a true MASTER. RIP baby. Philadelphia USA
Without a doubt the greatest bass soloist that ever lived, in upmost respect and admiration for the man he is loved and missed by many. As a lil kid I was blessed to have been introduced to him through my older brother Frank! You are forever missed and loved by many Cliff
Cliff Burton...the Randy Rhoads of bass players. RIP (Rock in Peace) 🤘😇
Nah the diambag of bass
@@joshuaalgerking I said RR since they both had short, yet legendary careers 🤷🏻♂️
@@usuck1883 true u got a point
@@usuck1883 m8 even though he’s not alive if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be playing bass
Randy and cliff are my favorites if I had an all time band those 2 are in
I love how at 2:33 he's like "Lars, what the fuck man!?"
Hah, good eye, i think he expected him to come back around 2:15
R.I.P Cliff. Still can’t believe you died so young
The goat. No one will ever come close to the greatest Cliff Burton .The man,The legend
1:29 that flash of the lights off the bass is like it was blessed by the metal Gods! ❤
Cliff Burton....maybe the only man to ever make the bass sexy. Imagine had he lived how much he would’ve grown and matured as a player.
Really? He definitely did. But what about Entwistle? Bruce? Geezer? Harris? JPJ? Jaco? Bass when utilized creatively is sexy AF. PERIOD
Imagine thinking 70’s funk bass wasn’t sexy
@@shauner8754 exactly. No offence to William, but to say an instrument itself was never sexy…the bass for that matter, is wildly ignorant.
Cliff Burton was not a god...
God was a Cliff Burton
I don't know why no one has commented on this yet, this is amazing
Hendrix, Dime, Cliff, and Lemmy...Moon on drums...Lane Staley, Dave Williams, and Chris Cornell can sing.
So he is a god?
Thank you. This sucks . Everyone being dick ryders!!! Lol go back the trailer park.
Ok you just went too far.
Today is a Cliff burton's day
38 years ago today, a man has died and a legend is born...
Back then I had just discovered Metallica few months ago (and also started trying to play bass), and me and my friends were waiting to go to see them in concert in autumn, then came the news of Cliff's death...
Imagine being the people in the first row, watching this video and remembering this event ❤
