I time travelled here from 100 years in the future, only to tell you that all heavy metal is now being named classical music. Dimebag Darrell and Cliff Burton's holograms are a thing by the way.
Wow' nice version here I had never heard the full Drum or Drum+Bass intro. Orion = Unbelievable musical composition I agree it really sounds like Cliff Burton's musical footprint, including the Bass solo Waltz which is round 3'45'' here. Magic, really feels like travelling in the Orion Constellation, feeling both the beauty and the violence, like the Orion from the greek mythology. Brilliant. Anesthesia, Ktuluh, Orion and later to Live is to die, without Cliff, but dedicated to Cliff : unforgettable pieces. So many thanks to you Klighning5
I consider this song to be a significant achievement, one of the best examples of composition and musicianship to have come out of the 80s. It is a great representation of a genre and an era and I hope that in 300 years time it will be regarded with the same reverence as the great classical music works are today.
26 years have passed. I still miss you,even though I was born in '95, my greatest wish would have been to bring you back to life. I started playing bass because of you, your work has helped me progress. I've now been a bassist for 2 years now, but I won't start struggling with Orion, that's my holy song, made by you, My God. R.I.P Cliff :(
I'm looking for an extended intro version. The bass/drum intro is one of the best parts and way too short; extend that intro to about two minutes, then keep the rest of the song the same, that would be awesome.
There are but a few instrumental songs that I can listen to over and over again for 20+ years and never get tired of. This is at the top. Cliff you were amazing!
Great work you made in this extended (and finished) version man!!! Now I only listen this Orion track. Only an observation, if you don't mind: I think it will be better if the bass-line were only a little lower in some parts. Thanks & greetings ;-)
i was just playing the second solo on guitar while listening to this, and it genuinly brought a tear to my eye and shivers down my spine, RIP Cliff Burton
i fell the same of you my frien, i'm from Chile, and i born in 94, but the first time i hear Cliff ' s solo, i dont have words to expres, i'm play the bass thanks to the music of Cliff, he is my hero and my icon.
Love me some Cliff!! Saw Metallica open for Ozzy in Louisville, Ky July 25, 1986, just 2 months before the crash.. Changed my life... RIP Cliff, you are so missed.
+Angel Tafolla Doblado cliff played the bass like a regular guitar, he was known for his bass soloing( check anesthesia pulling teeth). So yes, they're comparable. Kirk kinda sucks, admit it.
and can I assume that you have not actual got any guitar skills what so ever so who are you to comment on a fantastic guitar player when you cant even play !!!!!!!!!!!
You Said tell me again how you can compare the two lol.LOL!!!!!! Finger blasting a bass like he did is insane, give him Kirks guitar and it would sound like shit. FFS think lol
Grew up with Metallica, had all of their records and tapes, once I heard Orion I knew if I ever had a son this would be his name. Many years later I have a 6 year old son...Orion Akira!!
the crosses in the middle have no tops after the first one in the picture. cliffs bass lead at 6:23 is the most beautiful sound ever created.primarily following hammets lead. truly a master R.I.P.
You know, Cliff was very influenced by classical music, and I think that´s coming through quite obviously here. It´s so magical, nostalgical, musical and just fuckin genius. It simply don´t get much better. A true, pure masterpiece. We are so lucky it was made.
Yeah, he was unique and what he did for the bass will stand forever. He is my inspiration, there is much more to bass than just being a follow up instrument!
Cliff Burton WAS and IS Metallica! What an inspiration he was to me in the early 90's when I first picked up the bass. I do a mean Anaesthesia solo to the crowd when my band finish the set they go mental!! God bless all.
When I close my eyes at 3:47 I can see Cliff....he's sitting on a cloud & he's playing to them...all of them! Rhodes, Moon, Hendrix, 'Dimebag' Abbott & Morrison....& they're all so fucking happy...Makes me smile like a motherfucker...
Born in 1978 I was. 1988 Me listening to Metallica I was. My word did I love it. Justice for all was the first cassette I ever bought. Although I'm only 34 I was listening to Metallica when I was 8! Do your maths and calculate when I bought my first CD................!
This song is great. The bassline in being sampled in a song called The Number Song by DJ Shadow. Fits really well into a trip hop song too, not just metal.
I think even Beethoven would be proud of hearing that even metal values the teachings of classical music, this is just that classic music metalized, sublime. one of the Best Metallica Songs, alongside, To Live Is to Die, the Call of Ktulu, unvaluable instrumentals.
I hear this song every September 27 to remind Cliff Burton and what Metallica might have been if he were still alive. Further it is also my birthday and I love this song!
ROCKTROPOLIS is a progressive rock band that is like a volcano ready to explode upon your ears. Members include guitarist ROCKTROPOLIS, Bassist and Keyboardist Sam Metropoulos and Drummer Marc Stemmler. Influences are Dream Theater, Rush, Yngwie, Yes, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden to name a few.
theres a filipino couple that named the kid after Ride the Lightning album, its the one that was invited to metallica's 30th anniversary show and was onstage playing Blackened with the band
WOW you nailed it man, thank you for that brilliant commentary, no im not being a smart ass or sarcastic, I am a child of the 80s and I could not have put it any better!
I love this song. cliff burton was the greatest bassist who ever lived. no exaggerations. I can only imagine how good Metallica would be if Cliff was still in the band.
I was to sad when I heard that cliff died when I became a Metallica fan.... when I hear this song... I just wonder... He was a genius and a great guy... a badass but a great guy.... God Bless Cliff Burton my friends
@ddrummer1997 I thank you. Some people think they're gonna destroy those crappy "musicians" just talkin' shit about them. The real method is ignoring their "art" (if someone could call it like that), and go listen to REAL MUSIC, REAL ART, REAL ROCK.
This will be considered classical music in about 100 years
isn't it already ?
I time travelled here from 100 years in the future, only to tell you that all heavy metal is now being named classical music. Dimebag Darrell and Cliff Burton's holograms are a thing by the way.
@@getwooked3970 oh fuck yeah!
Make sure Lemmy Kilmster is a hologram too!
GetWooked
Oh, so Jimi Hendrix and Freddie Mercury was nothing to people in the future?
Speak for me! It is already a classic!
I think this is the best instrumental they ever created!
The best since the time of the best classical composers.
LYRICS:
enjoy
Wow' nice version here

Me too. Every time I’ve ever played this song since 1986, I’ve also wondered, every time.
That must be the first and only annotation I have ever really, truly appreciated on the entirety of TH-cam.
R.I.P. Cliff

30th Years from Obituary Date (1986-2016) WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU CLIFF BURTON. 🎸⭐
I’ve always wondered since 1986 exactly how this song ended in the studio. This is the best sounding version of this song. Thank You.
On tape that is.
R.I.P. one and only Cliff Burton...
Finally! For once YT didn’t put a commercial in at the postlude!!!
metal masterpiece!
He's been gone for 25 years, but will never be forgotten, his musical legacy will live on forever
Cliff Burton, we salute you
When I die, I want a song from metallica played in my funeral :I
Play lulu :v
@@jaimesalazar3727 hes probably dead by now
Orion was played during Cliff's funeral.
''i can hear, everyone else screamming and crying , but i didnt hear cliff's voice''
kirk hammett talking about the accident
Dude,,,,close your eyes and listen to the song. its the Odyssey....the entire story,
Great work you made in this extended (and finished) version man!!! Now I only listen this Orion track.
Only an observation, if you don't mind: I think it will be better if the bass-line were only a little lower in some parts.
Thanks & greetings ;-)
who the fuc# would dislike this?
warid icky Mustaine and AAAAAAAAALL the Megadeth members that "past" the band :P
megadeth has some good tunes.THey cant touch metallica though
i was just playing the second solo on guitar while listening to this, and it genuinly brought a tear to my eye and shivers down my spine, RIP Cliff Burton
This should be taught in schools
i fell the same of you my frien, i'm from Chile, and i born in 94, but the first time i hear Cliff ' s solo, i dont have words to expres, i'm play the bass thanks to the music of Cliff, he is my hero and my icon.
if only Metallica was as good today as it was then! well, minus death magnetic, that has its moments!
absolutely I couldn't agree with you more
Love me some Cliff!! Saw Metallica open for Ozzy in Louisville, Ky July 25, 1986, just 2 months before the crash.. Changed my life... RIP Cliff, you are so missed.
Cliff played better solos than Hammett :p
Cliff was bass player, Kirk is guitar player, you cannot compare them
+Angel Tafolla Doblado cliff played the bass like a regular guitar, he was known for his bass soloing( check anesthesia pulling teeth). So yes, they're comparable. Kirk kinda sucks, admit it.
and can I assume that you have not actual got any guitar skills what so ever so who are you to comment on a fantastic guitar player when you cant even play !!!!!!!!!!!
You Said tell me again how you can compare the two lol.LOL!!!!!! Finger blasting a bass like he did is insane, give him Kirks guitar and it would sound like shit. FFS think lol
É instrumental, não há versão com voz, obra de arte..
Who did this remaster? Fucking treble crap now.
This solo is truly amazing, amazing bass playing.
5:00 I LOVE THIS PART OF THE SONG .... SOMEHOW IT REMINDS ME OF A LULLABY
I'm here to remember Cliff, wearing my Cliff Burton T-Shirt, playing along on my bass....
27/09/1986 Never Forget
Simply the best instrumental song I've ever heard, inspirational, totally different!
will miss you cliff , but this is your legacy , and if we will keep hear it you will remain alive for all of us
the beginning of the slow part is simply awesome...
Metallica will never ever top this song, this is, imo, the best thing they have ever created
just an epic song from what most would consider the pinnacle of metal... this album was truly a master...
Grew up with Metallica, had all of their records and tapes, once I heard Orion I knew if I ever had a son this would be his name. Many years later I have a 6 year old son...Orion Akira!!
Just read the Metal Hammer for November. Some great heartbreaking stories about Cliff Burton in there. Rest in Peace, we all miss you!
the crosses in the middle have no tops after the first one in the picture.
cliffs bass lead at 6:23 is the most beautiful sound ever created.primarily following hammets lead.
truly a master
R.I.P.
Happy Birthday Cliff! Thanks for your music!
26 years have passed, but the memory remains. RIP legend!!
You know, Cliff was very influenced by classical music, and I think that´s coming through quite obviously here. It´s so magical, nostalgical, musical and just fuckin genius. It simply don´t get much better. A true, pure masterpiece. We are so lucky it was made.
cliff master of bass, R.I.P. and happy birthday
I can't start my day without listening to Orion. RIP Cliff.
Yeah, he was unique and what he did for the bass will stand forever. He is my inspiration, there is much more to bass than just being a follow up instrument!
Cliff Burton WAS and IS Metallica! What an inspiration he was to me in the early 90's when I first picked up the bass. I do a mean Anaesthesia solo to the crowd when my band finish the set they go mental!! God bless all.
I never really realized how much the bass drives this instrumental until I heard this version
One of the best metal songs on one of the best metal albums of all time.
Good remastered version although I'm used to the drums fading in, in the beginning! One of my favorite Metallica songs!
Greatest metal instrumental piece from the Metal Gods ! Cliff, we miss you...
When I close my eyes at 3:47 I can see Cliff....he's sitting on a cloud & he's playing to them...all of them! Rhodes, Moon, Hendrix, 'Dimebag' Abbott & Morrison....& they're all so fucking happy...Makes me smile like a motherfucker...
37 people lost their minds listening to this and clicked dislike.
37 people can't change the fact that Cliff Burton is the legend of bass.
Born in 1978 I was. 1988 Me listening to Metallica I was. My word did I love it. Justice for all was the first cassette I ever bought. Although I'm only 34 I was listening to Metallica when I was 8! Do your maths and calculate when I bought my first CD................!
cliff burton's bass sounds so gnarly in this remastered version!
the middle of this song is the most amazing sound ever to leave my speakers
Probably one of Metallica's best songs ever written.
Good job man!!! this is the best version that i 've found
@D3M0N1996 no life til leather is an EP, kill'em all is the first full length album containing new recordings of those songs aswell as new songs ;)
This song is great. The bassline in being sampled in a song called The Number Song by DJ Shadow. Fits really well into a trip hop song too, not just metal.
Nunca dejará de ponérseme la piel de gallina con esta canción por más veces que la oiga....sencillamente de otro mundo!!!!!
I think even Beethoven would be proud of hearing that even metal values the teachings of classical music, this is just that classic music metalized, sublime. one of the Best Metallica Songs, alongside, To Live Is to Die, the Call of Ktulu, unvaluable instrumentals.
"We used to do good metal but we took comercial success in the knees."
- Metallica
^^
R.I.P. cliff burton. 34 years ago.
This song made me a Metallica fan, aged 15.
It IS still good today.
I hear this song every September 27 to remind Cliff Burton and what Metallica might have been if he were still alive. Further it is also my birthday and I love this song!
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY CLIFF, WE MISS YOUUU!! KEEP LEARNING GOD HOW TO PLAY BASS \m/
I love this song!
Thank you @Klightning5 for uploading this so we can enjoy it! Great version!

One of the best instrumental compositions ever
If I could choose between world peace, curing cancer or bringing Cliff back to life, I'd choose world peace.
The best track ever!! No classical gets you like this.classic metallica!!!!
the power of the sound is amazing!
@Psycop4t Tq. So the composer of this song is Cliff, former guitarist of Metalica before death. Nice instrumental.
R.I.P Cliff Burton. Your riffs, and godly guitar skills still live on though. ♥
the holy bible of metal.......everything is in here.....10 years before anyone..respect
Best bass player ever. RIP Cliff, the reason why I play bass.

Probably the most unique intro on a song, ever.
theres a filipino couple that named the kid after Ride the Lightning album, its the one that was invited to metallica's 30th anniversary show and was onstage playing Blackened with the band
Clifford lee burton, you're now playing the bass in valhalla for the gods... R.I.P. the best bassist ever!
Thanks for the Upload and the good Audio Quality

R.I.P Cliff, You live on through your amazing music.
Probably the greatest piece of music ever written
I love this song. cliff burton was the greatest bassist who ever lived. no exaggerations. I can only imagine how good Metallica would be if Cliff was still in the band.
Cliff Burton, the man who inspired me to play bass! I am lucky to have a band with which I can cover Orion, a masterpiece of a song! :D
No words for this song...It's just... Epic.
Happy Bday Cliff! \m/
Orion is a true masterpiece of biblical proportions. This song takes you on a journey, much like the entire Puppets album.
Epic song is epic. Cant describe the epicness of this song. Masterpiece.
I was to sad when I heard that cliff died when I became a Metallica fan.... when I hear this song... I just wonder... He was a genius and a great guy... a badass but a great guy.... God Bless Cliff Burton my friends
wow just found this album and played it on my old record player sounds fantastic.
1:30 best bass riff in history and the reason Cliff Burton is a legend.
SENCILLAMENTE ESPECTACULAR COMO VA SUBIENDO Y CAMBIANDO DE RITMO Y ESOS RIFFS SON ESPECTACULARES. SENCILLAMENTE UNA OBRA MAESTRA
@ddrummer1997 I thank you. Some people think they're gonna destroy those crappy "musicians" just talkin' shit about them. The real method is ignoring their "art" (if someone could call it like that), and go listen to REAL MUSIC, REAL ART, REAL ROCK.
Yes.... no words. Cliff was a incredible with bass guitar
