That Guitar Guy he was talented for sure I see it like this.. cliff = best albums... jason = most profitable albums... rob = worst era of the band... lmao
Load/reload era was the worst era of the band. Death Magnetic and Hardwired is much better than load and reload, not to mention st.anger. The first album with rob revived Metallica from the load/reload era.
0:50 That part of the song isn't actually in 4/4, but since the audience was clapping, Cliff had to improvise up a version that was right on the spot. Respect for such great musicianship
@@drianhoxha5595 you can hear any rythm you want, if you divide it in 3/4 you will hear 3/4, if you divide it in 4/4 you will hear 4/4, the same with 7/4 or another rythmic patterns, but only works in this case because of the clapping do you don’t hear the first beat
Hey Cliff, that.. was just incredible man. I've never seen a bass be played like that and up until now I never realized why exactly it was they really gave you a song on that album.. But, I get lost listening to Kill 'Em All all the time and your song comes up and just ALWAYS gets my attention. I can't skip it. You were one talented guy man.. No wonder they walked in and put you in. We all miss ya buddy. We're still jammin and your boys are too. Much love brother.
You have no clue how godly Jason and Rob are in their own ways. Whether their playing the first 3 albums or ones they had a part it’s still better than anyone else could’ve done it and certainly you. Listen to Jason on Flotsam and Jetsam and tell me he is an untalented bassist writing songs at the age of like 18. Jason was held back by the band while rob and cliff had some more breathing room
Richard Tipton he was the best ! he didint kept the tempo or blast away with tchnike he COMPOSED his drumming to weave with the neo classical arrengements of James and Cliff his drumming is an integral part of the songs ,he teached everyone after him how it was done, fury, power and most important of all IMAGINATION,,,time makes ruins of us all, but the work he left behind is timeless,,,METALLICA rules dude!!!
Cliff is a GOD. He is arguably the greatest to ever pick up a bass guitar. The man played like he was a fucking lead guitarist, he owned every riff and solo. There will never be another who played it as heavy, loud, and masterful as Cliff. he was a virtuoso and the music world is only worse for not having him in it. My only wish is that I could've seen him play just once.
R.I.P Cliff, Man I'm sure you know how hard it was for people who love Metallica to except the fact that you are gone and it hurts so much to know that you can't come back. You have driven your bass sound into us and it will always be there for us to hear. I think I can speak for all Metallica fans, friends and family when I say "We have and always will miss you and thank you for being part of our lives, We love you Cliff Burton!!
Hi cliff, rest in peace, you are the best. no tengo mucho conocimiento del ingles pero cliff no era solo un simple bajista, si no que era una de las grandes mentes y fuentes de inspiración de metallica. Ahora esta tocando sus mejores solos de bajo en la gran banda del otro mundo, porque de lo que si sabemos, es que esta en el otro mundo dandole metal a sus traseros!
It's fun to look at these videos. I started playing bass nearly 7 years ago. I stopped playing for awhile due to some unforseen circumstances, but looking at this stuff then. I never thought I'd be able to play anything harder than For Whom The Bells Toll. Never fully learned Anesthesia, but did learn Orion
May the Heavy Metal Gods forever Bless & fulfill the Heavy Metal music needs of the Headbanger that recorded this for all of us. I am forever thankful. Thank you.
cliff was a musical geniouse not only on bass but on electric to, i play lead and i look up to him more than i do most guitar legends. It really is a shame his life was ended so quickly who knows what kind of masterpieces he would half put out if he were still alive today. R.I.P Clifford Lee Burton.
Very sad day today, tonight is the night Cliff died, and now he's been gone for 30 years. He would have been 54 if he was alive, and probably the wisest man on the planet. Rest in peace, we will never forget your fantastic playing, personal style, and last but not least, your amazing and inspiring personality. \m/
Cliff....layin’ it down on the 4 string motherfucker, in a totally unique way....in which no one else, despite their very best efforts could ever hope to duplicate. And wasn’t that the essence of Cliff? He wasn’t trying to play like anyone else. He was put on this earth to push the boundaries of what his instrument (or any), had ever been called to do or be in music. He was hell bent on going where no bass guitar had gone before. And he penetrated the stratosphere. And not a note played on that instrument since Cliff’s ascension to the Gods has rung out with enough clarity, intention, catapult and force to to quiet the celestial echo, reverb and of course....wah wah of this man’s humble, unassuming and unsung genius essence.....gifted to us through the music of the other geniuses of Metallica. The orchestrators of the soundtrack of my youth. I thank the Gods that I was born in the same era as these GIANTS. Thank you Metallica!
Back in the day when metal edge magazine was still around i read an article about james having to stop and walk over to lars and tell him to slow down. Lars admitted he was nervous in the first years they played and he would speed up to help with the anxiety.
@@austingrunig5183 yeah, Lars had not played for long here, and These other guys were proffesional musicians, plus he played for thousands of people. So when he would Get nervous, he would Get fast.
Cliff learned bass to remember his brother who predeceased him. What a shame on both counts. I am so glad we have his music for posterity. He was the Eddie VH of bass.
On another Earth, the bus fell on Lars and when they played the Big 4, Burton and Ellefson stood next to each other for Am I Evil. Lucky ass other Earth
The bass player that you're loving A sensation that is sneaking Has you reaching for the ceiling There's no fighting the igniting This recital is amazing All solos go out on the floor This is what you came here for Hi Cliff, Hi Cliff, Hi Cliff, Hi Cliff.
The closest thing would of course be Rob but imo(specificly for this song) Rob goes a bit too fast while Cliff took it slower to enjoy the moment and then get all thrashy.There is also the different sounding of the guitars of wich i still kinda prefer Cliff's melodic tune.
and i would not say noone...and would not say like a guitar lol...his tone is not that guitar like really...its cold and smooth and different(more guitar like in early years) but his solos were half inspired by classical instruments like cello or organ or piano and pieces for them, not for guitar...yet second part of solo with drums was guitar like shredd...but there are others, billy sheehan, chris wyse...all great players...but cliff is my favourite as well
also he didnt play like guitar all the time..most of the time it was low punchy growling rumbling bass...taken from us way too early..wish he was still alive..
+And Justice For Tijn I specifically meant in this video & I sed he PLAYED the bass like it was a guitar i didnt say he made it SOUND like a guitar. .read ppl read before you know it alls put your unnecessary 2cents in
Cliff is still alive - play original (anesthesia....) - LOUD ... and you're with him. I'm 36yo and all i can tell you about Cliff (...) After work,sometimes i'm opening beer & play loud anesthesia. One moment later i'm back to memories & i'm 17yo again. That is magic in form an old Metallica. People growing up,getting older but wild soul is always wild.Cliff Burton & "Anesthesia" is one of catalysts for me. Był i jest ,kurwa wspaniały.
LuckyBearBassist • nah man they still had a few good shit. And Justice for all, despise being “bass unfriendly”, is still very good, so as the black album. When Jason left, then RIP Metallica
How non-Metalheads hear this: meaningless psychodelic growling How I (and a lot of other Metalheads) hear this: Amazing bass solo wit a lot of cool riffs and music line changes RIP Cliff Burton, Bass God and Legend [*] I promise You will never be forgotten
To go and tell his brother: "My mission is complete!" We always need to see the bright side! At least he's with his brother again! Still, we all miss him. But he's death wasn't in vain... I'm sure of that...
Cliff is a good example of bass being the foundation of a band. Once he was gone, this band went to shit. Not because they had Newsted or Trujillo who are both tremendous bass players but because Lars and Hetfeild refuse to listen to their input, actually cutting them out of the creative process almost entirely. I am willing to bet if they said "Hey Rob, I'll play off your riff" once in a while, we might actually get another Master of Puppets.
Karl Chavez Lars and Hetfield have actually written almost all of Metallica's songs. Lyrics almost all hetfield. Drums and guitar and song structure Lars and Hetfield. So yeah, I know what you mean that a band should work as a band but what you say is not really true.
Ya that's now. When Cliff was around, he was most definitely part of the writing process. Songs like Call of Ktulu, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Master of Puppets and Orion, you can really hear his influence. Metallica's only bass solo on any of their albums came from Cliff. I know Hetfield and Lars wrote a lot of the songs but when Cliff left, so did any other of their bass players getting in any input at all. In Cliff's day, they would at least say sometimes "let me hear what you got on bass" but now, nothin. Outside of And Justice for All, their music became extremely bland and their bassist creative absence really shows. What's the point in creating new music with a musician as talented as Rob or Jason if you are just going to write boring and bland garbage. Because they can play the old stuff? Outside Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth, any professional can play the "old stuff" so why not hire one them if you are going to write Godsmack-esq, tasteless horseshit? What partially made Metallica great back in the day was their complex songs and a big part of that was on bass, regardless of who wrote it.
@ Paul Devereaux, I got the last comment you posted but it came up as spam? Now it won't let me unspam for some reason. God damn TH-cam went to crap after google bought it. Anyways, I like the Black Album too but man did they tone it down a bit on the complexity of their songs. I learned Enter Sandman and Sad but True within hours to give an example and I'll be the first to tell you that I'm nothing special on bass.
Yeah, TH-cam is quite shitty these days. It is true, there is not much complexity on the Black Album. At least nothing like Master of Puppets or AJFA. Still most of the songs have an amazing sound and the album still has this raw feeling. For me they lost that feeling (rawness) after the Black Album. I cannot blame them though, as musicians you get older and you wanna try other stuff.
Hands down best bass player ever. I saw Metallica in 1998, but not this Metallica. I was only six when he died, but he was an influence on me as a bass player. I wish to God he hadn't died.
People seem to forget the time period that Cliff ruled the 4 string. This is from fuckin' '85! Nobody was rockin' the bass the way he was at that time, especially not in the speed/thrash metal genre, which was just beginning. Was he the best ever, no, of course not, but he was a fuckin' pioneer and a cool dude who was true to himself and nobody can ever take that away from him. It saddens me that I'll never be able to meet him, shake his hand, and thank him for inspiring me to play bass.
***** agreed i started liking him this year a lot more than before.His skills grew a ton and he plays pretty good with the rest of the band.Two things i don't like though, is that he isn't a creative and unique player and that his backing vocals need a lot of work.
Metallica is part of my DNA at this point. James is the reason I play guitar, and Cliff is the reason I play bass. He didn't need no stinking fifth string!
Oh god, they were so young :'D Just... Great video, I'm so happy to see it. Too bad I wasn't born few years earlier, I'd do anything to see it not on TH-cam, but in real life...
Yeah. Pre 86 metallica is one of the acts i will never be able to see. Along with iron maiden cover band slayer, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pantera, Black Sabbath (with ozzy), Dio, 1990 Megadeth, and Guns and Roses. Very very sad, but im sure ill have the pleasure of seeing someone future generations cant. Like maiden and megadeth!
Cliff is the reason I started playing bass.
same
Me too
yeah man
same here \m/
appreciated!!
I sure do hope that bass was 18.
It's 30, you can fuck it, but not before me! :P
Load Game I'll beat you too it!
ZZGTAV RANDOMSZZ Yeah! And he wasn't there! I went to Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame and I borrowed it! We had some good time!
I swear your in the comments of every live anesthesia performance
I think that bass was younger than the rickenbastard so I dunno
cliff was the heart of metallica... his albums were the thrashiest.
Rob B. For sure. They even used some of his ideas on ...And Justice For All, which I thought was really nice and touching. He was the greatest man.
That Guitar Guy he was talented for sure
I see it like this.. cliff = best albums... jason = most profitable albums... rob = worst era of the band... lmao
Load/reload era was the worst era of the band. Death Magnetic and Hardwired is much better than load and reload, not to mention st.anger. The first album with rob revived Metallica from the load/reload era.
deez Nutz I liked load.. the new stuff has less depth to it.. just fast and plain... IMO
AHDBW on which songs did they use hid ideas To live is to die is an homage to him he didnt contribute
Damn, this is a shit camera by today's standards, but for the mid 80s, this is fucking space age technology.
It's bootleg
It's a potato
No, it was shitty then as well
I like the fact it looks shitty though, it gives the video culture so you know its old.
@@stosley7486 you were def born in 05
0:50 That part of the song isn't actually in 4/4, but since the audience was clapping, Cliff had to improvise up a version that was right on the spot. Respect for such great musicianship
Does this mean that i cant properly play this part with a metronome or im just not good yet
Actually I’m hearing 3/4, but I might be wrong.
@@drianhoxha5595 yeah i hear 3/4 too. But i think he just used the clapping as the metronome so it's not that difficult.
@@tomashudak3641 Bingo! But it can be hard for someone who is newer to music, then again some people have better rhythm and Cliff was a natural.
@@drianhoxha5595 you can hear any rythm you want, if you divide it in 3/4 you will hear 3/4, if you divide it in 4/4 you will hear 4/4, the same with 7/4 or another rythmic patterns, but only works in this case because of the clapping do you don’t hear the first beat
This is not just a bassist, he plays bass like a fucking lead guitarist !
R.I.P Cliff
Cliff played guitar with his bass the same way James plays drums with his guitar
Cliff forever
"Hi Cliff"!!
He’s dead he doesn’t know that you exist
@@uniquestefanjeez bro. wtf
@@uniquestefanholy shit man damn
The god of the 4 string bass guitar
man
Cliff plays it like it isn't even a bass
Plays it like he is lead bass guitar
* Jaco Pastorius
the only real bass
3 dislikes!? WHO THE HELL WOULD DISLIKE THIS!? R.I.P Cliff, the greatest bassist ever and the heart of metallica...
Toxic Megadeath fans that don't listen to metallica
I played this at a party one time when I was about 17, on the bass, not the stereo. Still sticks in my head after all these years
You were a golden God then and you still are now, sally forth and enjoy life
Hey Cliff, that.. was just incredible man. I've never seen a bass be played like that and up until now I never realized why exactly it was they really gave you a song on that album.. But, I get lost listening to Kill 'Em All all the time and your song comes up and just ALWAYS gets my attention. I can't skip it. You were one talented guy man.. No wonder they walked in and put you in. We all miss ya buddy. We're still jammin and your boys are too. Much love brother.
Christ... I can't do tap harmonics on a guitar, much less a bass.
It's easier on bass
tapping on a bass is a b!tch. it's one of the only reasons I can't get Anesthesia down.
GabrielWithoutWings Fuck man I gave up and just played the harmonics as regular notes
Cliff played 6-8 hour a day since 13 years of age bro, keep on playin and you'll achieve the same results.
It’s easier on bass lol. Harmonics are significantly weaker on guitar
Jason and Rob are good.... but they seem to "Force" it... Cliff just played.
Rob is really good, but it just never feels as natural as it did with Cliff. It never will. He just put his soul into it.
Rob only feels forced when he's playing stuff he didn't write
Is force to make sure he doesn’t fuck it up since is cliffs solo
well yeah, it's very hard for somebody to truly feel the instrument. Cliff just knew how to be one with the instrument
You have no clue how godly Jason and Rob are in their own ways. Whether their playing the first 3 albums or ones they had a part it’s still better than anyone else could’ve done it and certainly you. Listen to Jason on Flotsam and Jetsam and tell me he is an untalented bassist writing songs at the age of like 18. Jason was held back by the band while rob and cliff had some more breathing room
Nobody will ever beat cliff on bass.He had his own very special sound.
Fuckin' Phenomenal! 30 years later and you're still the man! Never 4 gotten! Always in our hearts!
Happy Birthday, Cliff.
29 years ago lars was still playing out of tempo
+raul suazo so was cliff :D
+raul suazo fuck you
+raul suazo lars hater.. go cry to ur mama..
+raul suazo Agreed He ain't the best but damn dyers eve

i would've loved to see the metallica songs they would've had if he was still alive
Hispanic AtTheDisco Probably would have been more "Load"ey
We all would.
S&M would have likely happened earlier
Personally, I would prefer to hear rather than see the songs :P
you start off like " ah no big deal, another wanky guitar solo",....... until you realize he's doing it on a bass!! \m/ R.I.P. Cliff Burton
and untill you hear classical music in it
At 1:44 it sounded like the first noel,maybe Cliff liked Christmas carols after all he was in to all kinds of different music.
Yup, that was his influence by classical music. I noticed a classical music sound at 1:10
2:47 o.o
13Drumsticks haha yeah Cliff was fucking insane.
Got chills the first time i heard this. At 17. Im 51 now. Cliff rules bass.
I remember this concert! May you rest in peace, Cliff! My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, Mr. Burton. Rest in peace!
i love how the drums are mixed back in the day. they dont sound like this anymore.
"Cliff 'em All"
For those who didn’t see him Will all meet him one day
You left 6 years before I was born and you have no idea how much you’ve influenced me since I was a kid. RIP Cliff 🤘🏻🤘🏻

when was the invention of a four string electric guitar?
Tiger Blake he's probably using a whammy pedal to get the octave up or something similar
iNK It's called artificial harmonics.
Shawn Richards just wah then?
iNK In my opinion, yes but I could be wrong. I don't play bass. I'm not sure if they even had octave changing equipment back then.
iNK It must be Tube screamer maybe ibanez808 and Morley power wah fuzz pedal .
Cliff is my favorite bassist of all time HE STILL RULES!
Hi cliff, rest in peace, you are the best.

Andyw1228 yes. Lars was most likely coked out of his mind and nervous, but Cliff adapted like a trooper. Probably gave Lars shit after the show, Lol

What partially made Metallica great back in the day was their complex songs and a big part of that was on bass, regardless of who wrote it.
@ Paul Devereaux, I got the last comment you posted but it came up as spam? Now it won't let me unspam for some reason. God damn TH-cam went to crap after google bought it. Anyways, I like the Black Album too but man did they tone it down a bit on the complexity of their songs. I learned Enter Sandman and Sad but True within hours to give an example and I'll be the first to tell you that I'm nothing special on bass.
Yeah, TH-cam is quite shitty these days. It is true, there is not much complexity on the Black Album. At least nothing like Master of Puppets or AJFA. Still most of the songs have an amazing sound and the album still has this raw feeling. For me they lost that feeling (rawness) after the Black Album. I cannot blame them though, as musicians you get older and you wanna try other stuff.
Load and reload was James taking a back seat in the creative process
Hands down best bass player ever. I saw Metallica in 1998, but not this Metallica. I was only six when he died, but he was an influence on me as a bass player. I wish to God he hadn't died.
People seem to forget the time period that Cliff ruled the 4 string. This is from fuckin' '85! Nobody was rockin' the bass the way he was at that time, especially not in the speed/thrash metal genre, which was just beginning. Was he the best ever, no, of course not, but he was a fuckin' pioneer and a cool dude who was true to himself and nobody can ever take that away from him. It saddens me that I'll never be able to meet him, shake his hand, and thank him for inspiring me to play bass.
Why am I in this generation.
riot lion brilliant, legendary comment
Same.
Shut up. Listen to animals as leaders or periphery
get rid of Robert Trujillo for cliff burton
Rob is sick man.
***** agreed i started liking him this year a lot more than before.His skills grew a ton and he plays pretty good with the rest of the band.Two things i don't like though, is that he isn't a creative and unique player and that his backing vocals need a lot of work.
Yeah, he's no Geddy Lee, that's for sure.
Trujillo did great job when he was playing at Infectious Grooves & Suicidal Tendencies.
whatching this video made my day. he is and always will be the best bass player
Hi Cliff, your shedding is my daily dose of not being depressed along with bending !
Hi Cliff, God from heaven. Thank you for teaching me Bass
His posture on stage is just badass.
Been trying to learn this solo for a while, not giving up til I get it perfect note for note!
brilliant...missed and loved
Happy 59th birthday CIFF Rock in peace 🤘🏻
Just did a school project on Cliff Burton and got voted best project 👍🏽
Cliff was the the center piece of the band. They never recovered after his passing.
Just solidifies the fact that Cliff is the best. Period.
The man was a genius. He would be the greatest bass player ahead of Geezer, Steve Harris and Geddy Lee if he lived. RIP
Metallica is part of my DNA at this point. James is the reason I play guitar, and Cliff is the reason I play bass. He didn't need no stinking fifth string!
Cliff Burton NEVER died. His legacy made him immortal, and his sprit lives on in ALL his fans. Thanks for the memories Cliff. They're ALL good.
Rest in Peace, Legend :(
Oh god, they were so young :'D
Just... Great video, I'm so happy to see it.
Too bad I wasn't born few years earlier, I'd do anything to see it not on TH-cam, but in real life...
Yeah. Pre 86 metallica is one of the acts i will never be able to see. Along with iron maiden cover band slayer, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pantera, Black Sabbath (with ozzy), Dio, 1990 Megadeth, and Guns and Roses. Very very sad, but im sure ill have the pleasure of seeing someone future generations cant. Like maiden and megadeth!
I'm a 15 year old bass player and I listen to metal, I have one goal in my life and that is to play (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth.
There was no stopping them in the mid 80s. You can see even in this set: straight into "Four Horsemen" after the end of the song.
Best guitar player without a guitar, ever!
