Cliff was such a guru of music theory no wonder the harmonies on the songs sound so magical to the ears
lol he fuckin died though like a loser
❤condivido
Era un bassista solista,nn solo ritmico.
he was probably the only member who went to the musical school
@@maverickhunters1403, he understood melody, harmony, rhythm, and how it all fit together. That’s what made him the musical force he was.
Cliff added that flare to Metallica. The harmonies took them to another level
So every riff metallica bassist wrote is a absolute banger. Got it
It still blows my mind that someone who died at 24 was able to write so much amazing music and become so proficient on his instrument.
It's a bass. And the music is metal not modal jazz by John Coltrane. Even a 2-year old can get proficient at it in no time.
@@verbotencowhat's your problem?
@@verbotenco someones salty he won’t be that good
@@verbotenco most people could play bass their entire lives and never come close to cliffs level
@@verbotencodrink less, drink better.
The more Cliff was involved in songwriting, the better the music became.
I still can't believe "the new guy" has been in the band 20yrs lol. WTF I'M OLD!
so am i man.
The main riff of Blackened is my favorite Metallica riff, its so cool that Jason was the one who wrote it.
Riffs by Newsted are awesome.
Pity he didn't write many.
To Live is to Die hit so hard. It was so heartbreaking, like Cliff is dead but a part of him is still alive in the riffs and you can feel him throughout the entire song.
If only they let Jason contribute to the band more and didn't kill his creativity
Yea he was such a genius that everything he did outside of Metallica was shit. Lol.
@@XideEagles Exaclty!
@@XideEagleshe did blackened main riff, but Metallica quit thrash so his style get pretty much useless
2:02 this riff right here by cliff is so confusing to me. It gives all kinds of different vibes that I do not know how to process. Feels emotional, dark, beautiful, groovy... I don't even know what the right adjectives could be, but he put it excellently... Rest in peace, Cliff... sorry you had to leave so soon...
yeah to me it sounds dark and eerie
3:10 that bass is beautiful, it's a shame that lars muted the shit out of it
Ajfa with bass is amazing
Lars always did that. Stop whining. It's been almost 40 years, you weirdo.
I made the full album with Jason loud bass in my channel!!
ua-cam.com/video/6Y-nkXzQYcs/v-deo.html
Muted to such a level that he might as well put the bass aside and joke around with instead..
Lars is the producer?
Rob wrote the bridge in you must burn probably the best riff since all nightmare long came out
Didnt know that. Ty
Cliff was such a genius and virtuoso. as Rob said, a musician's musician, outstanding. and i will never stop to delight in him and consume his energy, watching his stage performances.
Anyone with a heart can feel the blend of chill and classical excellence in Burton’s playing.
It's a shame they didn't let Jason be more involved in the songwriting process. His ideas they took clearly shows he's a talented musician
Probably that was the problem
Theres a reason why every metallica fan points to Cliff - the GOAT
You know how Cliff plays For Who the Bell tolls when he hits the E string and then goes into the riff, Reminds me of Wherever i may Roam riff a little. Maybe it was inspired?
Very loosely inspired.
The pre-solo riff on The Day That Never Comes that Rob wrote reminds me of Suicidal Tendencies.
It's the worst riff in this song, because just does not fit.
Sounds very Crossover
@@dannydanumba2619 well considering Rob played bass in Suicidal Tendencies I'm not surprised he wrote a riff with a crossover sound
I've always heard the Creeping Death outro as the guitar saying "I'm creeping deeeeath, I'm creeping deeeeath" to the tune of the melody.
"ManUNkind" he wrote the intro, "You Must Burn!" the cool riff before and after the solo and outro. "Screaming Suicide" the intro and the bridge riff (which starts with his bass).
Had no idea Cliff had anything to do with to live is to die. Wow. One of my favorite ‘tallica songs. Cliff Jason & rob are all insane.
The liner notes in …And Justice For All are credited to Hetfield/ Ulrich/ Burton, for “To Live Is To Die”.
@@jaybirdk7414because of that few sentences that james is saying at the end of a song. cliff didnt wrote to live is to die. not one note.
@@4md17Very fucking wrong
The intro and outro were based on something cliff played. This interlude and rye rest of the song is all James
@@4md17i’m assuming you’re citing the andriy vasylenko video that claims it. andriy is wrong. lars has confirmed that the piece was composed of cliff’s riffs.
CLIFF WAS A GENIUS
When I was younger I didn't even realize some of these were harmonies it just sounded like perfect notes to me
Cliff, the best by far! I was on his last live show in Stockholm Solna hallen September 1986 and had the honor to shake his hand.
Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shocking Jason didnt have more
Cliff em all!! 🤘
3:30 that bass had always transported me to a dark imaginery world, still does.
In several interviews Kirk Hammett stated that Cliff played a lot of guitar in their free time, up to the point of waking him up in the middle of the night to play. Cliff favorite guitar player was one of the guys from Lynyrd Skynyrd
ride the lightning: hey cliff you got riff? Yes "barfs out a whole album"
Cliff: genuis
Jason: heavy monster
Rob: technical
Cliff will always be my hero! That opening riff for My Friend of Misery is so haunting from Jason.
I have a lot of what ifs in my head. Imagine Cliff never died.
load and reload would've still happened trust me
It would have been an even masterpiece of an album Cliff was at another level, the amount of respect the guys had for him I believe cliff would have eventually produced and mix Metallica music.
@@selfoblivionalex6262 I believe it. Plus imagine solo albums of cliff omg
Cliff was a big advocate for playing other kinds of music
They probably would have taken a very similar path
Maybe he woulda made some of the songs more intricate but even in master of puppets he was only contributing in depth to a few songs
He did a few interviews talking about playing songs that didn’t go super fast the whole time
Actually the whole "All nightmare long" was kinda inspired in Robert's flamenco inprovisation.
They wrote most of all nightmare long before rob. They just added robs part to it and sped it up. Shadows of the cross on st.anger demos
And I like And I like Jason
Cliff the call of ktulu and Jason blackened are outstanding riffs
OH MY GOD CLIFF WROTE ORION?!!!! NO WAY!!!!! 😂😅
FR MAN. I HEARD HE WROTE ANESTHESIA TOO
@@Ryu_Ake I AM SHOCKED!!!
For Manunkind, Rob wrote the intro I believe.
I hope when we die we can time travel to alternate universes so I can find the one where Cliff never dies.
I understand destiny and that it was fate and we wouldn’t have so many amazing albums if it didn’t happen but I also just wonder what we would have if he didn’t.
Imagine having a song to your name 2 years after your death
He only wrote part of the spoken word lyrics, the music was written after he died
@@cameronlambert5185 wrong
@@pjket4229Not really
@@imagereflection4826 yes really, the whole song is built around tapes he recorded before he passed away
@@pjket4229 No the intro and outro are based on pieces he played and the poem is a mixture of lines from poems he liked. The acoustic Interlude and harmonies are written by James
The damage inc. Intro sends shivers up my spine. It's unbelievable.
I love the Jason most. Both in song writing and playing. Nobody mentions Robert but don't forget that people watched him when he is old. He was in Suicidal Tendencies at his prime
He was just shy of 40 when joining Metallica, and this year marks his 20th anniversary with the band. Crazy to think how quickly time flies
Hey good luck with your channel, thanks for mentioning🤘
Thank you man
James's contribution would probably be an hour long video
Kirk and James
What are trying to say
Then would Lars’s video only would be 1 minute?
@@goldenwolf8081 Well, Lars arranges most of Metallica songs
Jason should be immortalised for the blackened riff alone
James said Cliff wrote the spoken part of To live is to die & that was it. James wrote the music.

The intro Cliff made for Damage Inc. Every time I listen to it, I literally feel like I’m in the illustration on the album cover, just there, seeing that “cemetery” before my eyes. The ideal background ambient if you ask me
Thank you for putting bass on blackend
@BrettPlaysGames they ( Lars) messed by not putting bass on ajfa
Everyone rips on Newstead but Flotsom and Jetsom was very underrated. Hammerhead? FUCK YES! Better than Whiplash by a mile. And Rob, again Suicidal Tendencies is the second best Cholo-Thrash band of all time!
Cliff was the driving punk force that made thrash what it is. No denying that though.
Cool video duder!
-Tim "The Fresh Prince of Darkness" Ficker
The opening to damage inc. is beautiful
The mix on Blackened, was fucking slapping! I want
Rob wrote the intro to ManUNkind
it’s insane he wrote all this in his early 20’s
cliff is such a beast
Cliff é lenda, incomparável! Mas Jason iria contribuir muito ainda para excelência da banda. Era um cara criativo, participativo. Que pena que nao deram valor pra ele.
According to kirk he wrote the outro to fade to black and to live is to die interlude was written by James. Cliff wrote the intro
Kirk did write the solo on Fade To Black but Cliff wrote the riff before the solo
I think…After Cliffs Death the other Guys found a treasure Box with His ideas and Since 1991 it is complety used
Think harder then haha
Didn't know the fight fire with fire intro was written by cliff
Cliff didn't write any parts of to live is to die. The spoken part "when a man lies he murders some part of the world" was written by cliff
There’s literally a demo of him playing it. It’s the last demo he ever recorded.
@@IHateNicolasCage literally? I haven't heard it, looked for it, all i can find is Jason playing it. But i haven't heard every single thing that has been released, everything but of info i have found on this matter was that this was written as a tribute to Cliff and the only thing that has been confirmed by the band was the spoken part.
@@IHateNicolasCageThat demo is fake I'm afraid
@@imagereflection4826 You’re correct. I got that one wrong
“We always miss Cliff, but he is
kind of on the record (... And
Justice For All.) The song "To Live
Is To Die" is really based on a number of riffs that Cliff wrote a couple of years ago. It's kind of cool to have something written by Cliff on the new album.” -Lars
I think there is so much more from these bassists in Metallica's songs.
A total anime nerd is saying that you're a nerd if you point out that the MOP post-solo riff is actually the riff from David Bowie/Mick Ronson's Andy Warhol.
It's probably the first thing I've been actually offended by on the internet in my life XD
gorillaz isn't anime btw
🤘💀🤘
I clearly remember an interview in which Kirk said the he's the one who wrote the harmony outro to complete "Fade To Black", not Cliff.
In another interview James said that on "To Live Is To Die" Cliff wrote the post-intro "buildup", the heavy main riff (a leftover from the "Master" sessions) and half of the lyrics. The melodic interlude is all James.
So if I have to guess on "Fade To Black" Cliff is either the writer of the heavy instrumental chorus (which is somewhat similar to the "To Live..." main riff) or the acoustic arpeggio of the verse (which kinda reminds me of the "Fight Fire..." intro that he also wrote).
"To Live Is To Die" was a tribute to Cliff. He didn't write anything of it. Only the speech in the middle was Cliff's poem
wrong the classic guitar bits are his
@shred94 nope james wrote it
@@shred9475 I don't know if cliff wrote it before but I know that the classical guitar piece is in james' riff tapes
@@c0hink176 yes because james took those chords from an old cliff recording
@@shred9475 source? I don't think there's any proof anywhere about who wrote what for that song
I actually think Cliff only write the lyric of the poem in To live is to die.
Yea that acoustic Interlude was written by James
As what concerns "to live is to die" only lyrics were contributed by Cliff.
cliff definitely didnt write all the riffs in tlitd, one of the riffs dates back to when ron mcgovney was in the band. we dont actually know what he wrote, but its expected its the last part of the spoken passage.
also rob wrote the bass intro in manunkind
I thought only the poem was Cliff's
@@ajkorras no practically the whole song is built around cliffs riffs
ua-cam.com/video/-TeK76qBL5o/v-deo.html
@@ajkorras Actually, only the second part of the words are his. The first two lines are quotes from Paul Gerhardt and Stephen R. Donaldson. People say that Cliff used to recite quotes he liked all the time, and those were two of them.
As for the music, I believe the acoustic bridge, and possibly the harmony part that follows are his.
@@pjket4229 this just isn’t true lol
you forgot the suicide and redemption parts where nothing but the bass plays in the intro. it’s so epic
That is only from GH, sorry mate
@@Ryu_Ake from what
@@776Mine guitar hero. In the original it starts fading in with the drums already, in GH that starts with just bass
Siendo sinceros, esa parte de tu live is to die es una joya!!!!! Poco conocida!. Lo de jason en my friend of misery esta perfecto aunq parezca sencillo tiene ese feeling tan chingon
Cliff : Melodic genius
Jason: Metal God
Rob: punk beast
P.S. Cliff was special.
i hear and justice for jason in the blackened part
Honourable mention- die section on creeping death - when play live , just bass playing
ManUNkind does have a bass intro!
i like robert but damn cliff and jason were geniuses. If there is one thing metallica does right, its pick bassists.
jason was not a musical genius, yoire glazing.
@@lodaguy Jason himself has said he just copied James during and justice
He brought backing vocals to the table that the band needed at the time and an unmistakable rockstar energy
First like for Cliff's riffs, another like to Jason for My friend of Misery
Should’ve added the second bass solo in Orion too
OMIGOD, it IS Andy Warhol. I never noticed.
Takes nothing away from it -- throwing THAT riff into THAT song is clever as hell.
I think in call of ktulu the intro was said to have been written by Cliff. Either him or James
I am a Metallica fan somewhat but Pretty much every bass player they have had is above them. One good example is they once auditioned Les Claypoole and James said he was just too good to be in the band.
Only technical skill wise.
He said he's too good I believe he was meaning that to be a nice way of saying he doesn't fit with their style which is true. James and Lars are extremely talented song writers and arrangers (especially lars on the ladder) so don't get it twisted. I don't think all their bassists have been "above" them. They're very talented guys especially James.
Technically Les was too good for the band in the sense that his style of bass playing takes center stage. Not only that but Les’ style doesn’t remotely fit with Metallica’s music. Just imagine a hard slap bass player playing bass as if he was the lead guitar in Metallica, it just doesn’t work. That’s why James said what he said when Les auditioned for the band.
Do a video on all the riffs Lars wrote, since he got writing credits on every song
Most of them are by production or an arrangement of a certain song. Right now I think the only riff he actually got credit is RTL intro
yo i wanna see how inamorata would sound if cliff wrote the harmonies at the emd
Didnt know Jason wrote Blackened!!
Seems like this is a video made 15 years ago because it's missing TONS of Trujillo riffs that are only included as text.
Faltó lo de Newsted en Load!
Blackenedすごすぎだろ
やべぇよJason
Cliff is Orion's protagonist
Why did you stop short?
ManUNkind has a bass intro so I assume that's the part that was written by Rob. It also doesn't sound like anything James would write because it has this proggy upbeat vibe.
I feel like Rob is underutilized, considering he has some fuckin amazing bass skills. He's one of the best and he did for sure made some bangers with Metallica. I was kinda hopying for a instrumental in the 72's
You've probably heard "Violent and Funky" by now, and if you haven't...holy shit the bassline
But only if they could find a decent drummer. Shit wait, dint Lombardo “sub” in for a bit. Christ, wish I could’ve seen that one liv
The only thing Cliff wrote in To Live is To Die are the words "all this I cannot bear to witness any longer, cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?"
I know for sure he wrote at least the whole middle section. There's a clip of his demo somewhere on YT.
ua-cam.com/video/-TeK76qBL5o/v-deo.html
@@daveleblanc3558 that clip's a fake.
@@daveleblanc3558The middle section is the part I'm most sure he didn't write. James wrote that in ode to cliff.
It all started with sir paul mccartney. If he played for metalica, then they would be the topp music, they wouldnt be able to fix their instruments and learn to sing with beauty. Their mental health would improve ,day by day. Who knows.
Yes and cover mbop by Hanson.
Jason is the best
I love Cliff as much as anyone, but I'm a little irritated that Jason only got like two songs on this list... and one was from an album that, notoriously, all but erased him from the studio recording. Also, in general, Rob doesn't get the respect he deserves.
This is some interesting information. Like I don't know music theory for shit, I just whistle or hum whatever melody or riff my brain excreted, record it on my phone when I have the time, and later see if it favors more as a bass line or "guitar thing". But actually writing music? Not there yet, just a heavily inspired mind messing around with a multi-effects pedal and my Ibanez SR300E 😅 can definitely appreciate some Thrash metal every now and then, but Living Colour and King's X are *MY* bands of inspiration with Stryper, Van Halen, and Scorpions being the main groups I listen to on loop.
Didn't Cliff write the acoustic intro to Battery
No that was James
Clif's riffs are a masterpiece
Не знал, что Трухильо что-то написал в Металлике...
Do you play any instruments? Just curious.
