Metallica - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - bass, drums and vocals only

You wouldn't have guessed that this song starts with a piano, would you?
Enjoy the sound and images. Images are of the derelict mental institutions.

Cliffs basslines on this song are so good.

[@SweetDistortion13]

The beginning is surprising indeed. Could be a piano, could be Cliff's using some special setting. Either way, it's great all these uploads with individual tracks or stripped down mixes. Thanks

[@azikejev]

Прикольная тема. Клифф, помним тебя.

[@Dalmonius]

This is piano or Cliff used a hammer to play that

[@Ammi553]

I mean he did bring a hammer with him everywhere in the KEA days so maybe

[Verse 1]
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labelled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sleep, my friend, and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says "rage?"
[Chorus]
Sanitarium
Leave me be
Sanitarium
Just leave me alone
[Verse 2]
Build my fear of what's out there
I cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
[Chorus]
Sanitarium
Leave me be
Sanitarium
Just leave me alone
[Bridge]
Sanitarium
(Just leave me alone)
[Outro]
Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

@jonezk1 I'm pretty sure it's the piano. I've never heard a bass sound like that.

[@horror4ever1997]

So did Cliff.

[@maksphoto78]

@midnightrun09 Finally, someone who knows what a piano sounds like :)

[@michaelscaccia1454]

They talk about it in an interview guys. It's 100% a piano

[@georgielol]

Why is this the only Metallica track where the fucking bass can be heard clearly ? I want more of these !

[@maksphoto78]

[@georgielol]

Thanks man.

[@horror4ever1997]

@isnopitag na i think Cliff played it, he played piano.

[@maksphoto78]

@athf11 this is a piano

[@evgenykarkan6939]

I hear guitar here, no?

[@maksphoto78]

Yes, there's some clean guitar mixed into the vocal track so as to allow for playing solo guitar.

[@mattbermo1958]

Sounds to me like that’s a keyboard backing the guitar track

[@maksphoto78]

It's confirmed, the song starts with a one-note piano part! ua-cam.com/video/AFAs3Y5Pyf4/v-deo.html

Well it could be a bass if it has like a pog on it and octave turned high on it.
