That is crazy because I knew it would be THAT particular riff from To Live Is to Die just by looking at the thumbnail. Wonderful song. Not a word is spoken here (save for James' little poem in the middle), but you feel an ocean of things inside. If you ever felt the pain and agony of losing someone dear to you, this would be the soundtrack. Powerful stuff...
In my opinion, puppets and lightning are the best metallica albums. If only they waited to make another album, so they could do the best of justice and the best of the black album. Then there wouldn't have to be any fillers on both albums, and they had another fantastic album. Oh well, it was their decision.
@@tonybp I tried enjoying that album so many times but I just don't see what other people see in it, I've been a metallica fan for like 6 years now, and I've never seen in justice what other people see in it. If I were to give it a rating (because there are 9 songs on justice) I'd give it a 4/9. The songs I like on justice are Blackened, ...and justice for all, Harvester Of Sorrow and To Live Is To Die. But everything else is just boring and repeptitive in my opinion. And feels like they tried TOO hard to make the songs complex, wich is a dumb decission because that's destined to fail after your best band member dies. (Miss you, Cliff)
Definitely the saddest thing they’ve ever wrote. From the slow acoustic guitar intro, to the main riff, to the interlude, and the quote which brings it all home. It’s a masterpiece
No, the saddest riff IMO is the clean riff immediately after this. It just hits so emotionally, especially if you know this is basically a farewell Ode to Cliff!
Miss you Cliff, and thanks. If I was James, a Cliffism would have been included in ALL the albums after master not just this one. He was the added factor that made a garage band into superstars, regardless of personal feelings the band had for him he deserves mucho respect and should have got it for that alone.
Nope, not even close. The clean guitar of this song, that also follows the same melody is much sadder sounding, intros like fade to black and one are sadder. songs like hero of the day and low man’s lyrics r much creepier in sense of sadness. People just live this because loving cliff is cool.
1. emotions are subjective 2. people may fell more emotional given the context that it is cliff due to his death 3. im gonna swing my balls like a pendulum over you 4. the majority of the comment section agrees that it is the saddest

Same. Tragic sounding.
yes i got teary eyes the second the video started. cliff is my favourite bassist ever and there is no song that quite feels the same as this one
Cliff actually wrote the poem.
Same here. Without even hearing it, I knew exactly what riff was Metallica’s saddest.
Just by seeing the thumbnail I knew. Sad and beautiful at the same time. Most Metallica fans say MOP is their favorite album, mine is AJFA.
Okay
Same! I think AJFA has no bad songs

@@SamuraiFTF There are no filler songs for me in Justice.

Nice Rickenbacker bass that Cliff is playing in that pic
This and the ORION's harmony are the best
This is the riff that got me into Metallica!! Totally rocks!!
It feels like Cliff is here with us...
As soon as I saw the title, I knew it was going to be this riff.
Yes. Top 5 Metallica songs without a doubt!
Reading the title I knew instantly which riff it would be, because it’s so true
I miss Cliff and the 80s when thrash and punk were killing it...such cool time
Yes this is their saddest riff and saddest song

were you even alive when cliff was around? how can you possibly miss him🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BigDaddyTyHD I'm 54
Very sad. Beautiful sadness. Amazing.
LOVE this song, and AJFA is their peak
Metallica’s best song.
So odd that I was just playing this very same riff on my guitar last night, and this pops up!!!! Such a great sound they made with this tune.
One of the best 😢
When not the saddest,one of the saddest
If it wasn’t To Live is To Die I would’ve been Mad.
No nothing beats fade to black
The clean guitar riff is the saddest for sure
Song?
to live is to die

Justice is the best album of all time. However I would prefer it with bass on it.
Is that a riff, though? It’s more like a symphony. Too many harmonies.
Play it lower in D-Standard and you make it far more depressing
