      Not only a full intro similar to orion's interlude (in a way) but also a strummed solo. Which is quite impressive bc doing such an accurate and fast strumming pattern is way harder on a bass than on an acoustic guitar

    I've read at Revolver Magazine "10 facts of And Justice for All you didn't know" that according to James Cliff wrote the main riff and the "built up" riff from To Live is to Die. Also Orion is 80% Cliff at least. He wrote the bass intro, the bass bridge and the entire interlude. The main riff was added by James using the chord progression that Cliff used in the bass intro. And the galloping riff was a guitar version of the bass bridge.

    There are some errors and some omissions:
    -That part of "CALL OF KTULU" is written by Mustaine, Metallica never gives credits for guitar/bass solos, in all likely Cliff wrote the breakdown at minute 6:56 of the song.
    -On "FOR WHOM" Cliff didn't wrote just the intro but also the iconic main riff at 0:55 of the song.
    -On "FADE TO BLACK" Cliff wrote the iconic breakdown/bridge (the rest of the song is James and the outro is Kirk).
    -James have confirmed that Cliff wrote the main heavy riff of "TO LIVE IS TO DIE" during the MoP sessions and they build the song around that as a tribute (the melodic interlude is James).

      Apparently, Cliff was the exception, and he was credited not only for the harmonized part, but also for "leading bass"... whatever that means. Which is kinda ironic given that Kirk wasn't credited for quite the same on RTL the song

    • @DougieJones253
      @DougieJones253 Рік тому

      ​@@maddiethemadovich It's true that in the lyrics booklet under the list of writers for the song (Hetfield,Ulrich,Burton,Mustaine) there's the line "Lead Bass by Cliff Burton" but that has nothing to do with the credits. He's credited only because he wrote a specific section of the piece and the climax of the song with the harmonized guitars before the return of the intro arpeggio is in his classic style (like the climax before the outro on "Creeping Death" or the intro and the coda of "For Whom The Bells Tolls"). If it was only for his solo behind Mustaine's riff there would' be only the tag "Lead Bass by..." without his name in the credits.
