Fun Fact: Cliff Burton used his bass in such a way that there are two bass solos in this song that are commonly confused as guitar solos. The first begins at 1:42 and continues on until 2:13. The second is found much later in the song after the bass Interlude. It begins at 6:36 and continues until 6:55. The opening sounds were achieved by Cliff using a wah wah pedal on his bass. -This song was in Guitar Hero Metallica.
Read the book ‘To Live Is To Die: The Life & Death Of Metallica's Cliff Burton’. It explains exactly what the intro is. Most, if not everyone is wrong on how it was achieved. \m/!!!
The songs title Orion comes from the constellation of the same name, and is a reference to the songs "Spacey sound" bridge.. It was mostly written by late bassist Cliff Burton. It was recorded in Copenhagen. It has 3 different riffs that make up the structure of the outer layer, and a lengthy Bridge section in the inner layer. This song (instrumental) along with The Call of Ktulu (another instrumental) are incredible. Loved your reaction to this....well done boys. ...love you guys.
This piece was my introduction to the band. My friends, who knew me as the classical music nerd, sat me down and said "you of all people HAVE to hear this!" Its structure is perfect Sonata form, like movements of classical symphonies- and this is due almost entirely to Cliff Burton's background in classical music.
Metallica had a classical musician in it. Cliff Burton, he left us too soon, I can not imagine what would Metallica’s sound be after Master of Puppets or if they would actually went on the direction of the Black Album with Cliff being around. But I’m sure would love Cliff playing with an orchestra like they did with in San Francisco CA. RIP Cliff!!❤
Cliff Burton is one of the best bassists to ever play bass and live his life was taken waaayyyyy toooooo early. His presence and performance will never be duplicated in our lifetime. RIP Cliff Burton ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had the pleasure of seeing Metallica at Donnington 1985......unbelievably on stage before RATT !!!!!.......Cliff Burton was a monster that day..... absolutely held it all together👏👏👏👏
This is my favorite Metallica song. Just awesome. Check out the live versions with Cliff Burton. This song IS Cliff. You can hear his influence throughout.
GREAT reaction guys!! What a wonderful way to start my Friday! Yup...this places in my top 5 Metallica songs...and I owe most, if not all of it to Cliff Burton (RIP). His bass playing was revolutionary. This track is undeniably progressive metal, and I wonder what path Metallica would've taken had Cliff lived on! I was 9 when I first heard this, from a school friend...it was unlike anything I had heard up to that point! Now as a huge Rush fan, you can tell that Cliff was influenced by Geddy. Cheers from Canada, eh!!
I'm listening to Metallica for more than 25 years, this year i was lucky to see them live for the 4th time of my life, and this time they played Orion live ! It was like a teenager's dream coming true 🔥
As a bass player who plays this song, I have to agree. But I’m torn with the CRAZY running distorted wah “solos” of Ktulu is hard to dismiss. ‘To Live is To Die’ is….emotional and a great track in honor of Cliff.
Many probably don't know about the Orion at the end credits of Through The Never movie. I really like that version (too). Check it out if you haven't yet.
MetallicA ' Orion ' - another one of their best instrumentals ... - love the ' time change ' in the middle of the song - solos, & Cliff Burton's last recordings B4 Yk what on Sept 1986 🤘🏻😆 ✌🏻😸✌🏻
If you like instrumentals like this, I highly recommend the Call of Ktulu, To Live is To Die, and Suicide and Redemption. All are masterpieces that really show off how well Metallica can sound when they let the instruments do the talking.
@@Lord_Raptoranother Fun Fact: the intro of ‘My Friend of Misery’ and ‘Anesthesia:PullingTeeth’, are very close….really close to each other. It’s played a bit different, but it’s really close to each other. I would guess Jason did this as a tribute to Cliff. Just a thought. 🤔 Cheers!!!! \m/
Thank you Smokey! You came through on mentioning The concession stand brawl. That match inspired Onita to form FMW bc he was there for that show on his first US visit. Which also inspired ECW because Sabu Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka all had time in FMW
one for the history books for sure. 10/10 They guys were about 24-yo at when this was written and recorded.. but at 1986 prog metal didn't even exist yet.. the guys were fans of music.
@tubelious True early Metallica album were a new form of metal, people forgot how they changed music , and the genuine drum sound that made this album amazing
This song is a trip... When it starts you just need to sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the ride. You are transported to places by this song. It is a masterpiece...
We miss you Cliff. I’m so happy they played this at the last show I went to. They rarely play it. My 16th time seeing the live, they finally played it. I’ll never forget it. 🤘
The crazy time-signature you mentioned isn't actually there. The song is standard 4/4 until the slow part in the middle where it switches to 3/4. The reason it sounds like there's a crazy time-signature is because Lars throws in a weird drum fill which messes up the timing if you're trying to bob your head along with the music.
They started their world tour last year in Amsterdam with this song…instant chills when I heard those first notes on the bass So no, it’s not a song “to give James’ voice some rest” 😄
I used too sit in high school art class in my rocking chair high as a kit and just veg out to this song one of best song of all time take that too the bank
A few random recommendations for metal instrumentals: Testament - Musical Death (A Dirge) Death - Cosmic Sea Death - Voice of the Soul Obituary - Redneck Stomp Gorguts - Waste of Mortality Wicked - The Stellar Sunset of Evolution And it's not metal, but Steve Vai's 'For The Love of God' is 1 of the greatest musical feats of all time (I will never be convinced otherwise). If that song doesn't move your soul, then you probably don't have one.
A little star traveling courtesy of Cliff 🤘✨🖤🤘🕊🌌🌟💜🤘 Ed.. on Metallica's page today they dropped video of For Whom the Bell Tolls and Orion from San Francisco 10 years ago I just happened to notice it right after this reaction to Orion where smokey mentions For Whom the Bell Tolls LOL thought you guys should know about it
it was written by Cliff Burton, it played at his funeral and to this day every time they play it James always ends it with the words "We miss you Cliff"
definitely one of the best metal instrumental song ever...timeless 💯🔥 next : inquisition symphony from the album Schizophrenia by Sepultura...a little bit harder...a little bit faster... 🤘💥
Good morning, Trash Talkers. G'day. Not what I expected: I don't typically associate a term like "plodding" with Metallica, and that's what came to mind in the first section. Sounds are all there, 2nd part has harmonized leads, another interesting side-trip in my view, part 3 sounds a bit more aggro, just a bit, sure, dudes, go for it. Yeah, interlude, maybe. 😊 I could go several ways with suggestions: more off 'Garage Inc.'; the cover of early Pink Floyd's 'Astronomy Dominé' by Quebec's Voivod; I'm also interested in hearing 'Mr. Soul', 'The Seeker' or 'Seven and Seven Is' by Rush from their 'Feedback EP; or early Jimi Hendrix psychedelic freakout ride 'The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice'. Any or all would be more than cool. Deuces! ✌🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
It’s funny you keep on bringing up Tool & Metallica together. They have been friends over the years especially Kirk & Adam. They worked with each other during Fear Inoculum were Kirk was helping Adam with guitar techniques.
Fun fact: the very beginning was recorded using multiple bass tracks, which is unheard of because it's a nightmare to mix properly. Shows how much they trusted cliff to come up with something that harmonically won't collide with each other. This song is mainly a showcase of Cliff's compositional abilities. But we also have to give credit to Lars for coming up with that tasty weird awesome drum beat that makes 4/4 sound like some crazy mix of odd time signatures. Yeah, hard to believe but it is fully in 4/4
I think Cliff was an amazing bass player, maybe one of the best. No disrespect to Metallica but I believe that he could have shined more for another band
All of their instrumentals are very good btw. Call of Ktulhu, To Live Is To Die are another masterpieces. And there was such thing as progressive metal when they wrote it. This is demonstration of their skills not as musicians but as composers. Thanks for reaction
First metal I ever heard was Metallica - Kill Em All on vinyl... I was just enamored and then I heard Master Of Puppets and I was sold. Been a metal head since 1992 🤘💀🤘
You definitely should check out their other 4 instrumentals, they are all phenomenal! Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - Cliff Burton's legendary bass solo Call of the Ktule (my personal favorite instrumental) To Live is to Die Suicide & Redemption
I always loved making mix CDs or tapes of just instrumental tracks, smoking, putting on headphones and just chilling with my eyes closed. This song pretty much always made the list. If you dig instrumental tracks, check out a band called Russian Circles. They never have vocals and I would consider them prog metal. Every song is fire so I can't even give a specific recommendation
Just incase nobody else mentioned it, this song was Cliff Burton's parent's favorite Metallica song, because they could Waltz through the slow chill part.
RIP Cliff Burton
A pure metal masterpiece
@@Bill-c8k Cliff em ALL! 🤘
For that reason I hope they react to 'To Live is to Die' an instrumental for and about Cliff !
One of the best instrumental songs ever. Pure 🔥 RIP, Cliff.
Sorry but its THE best instrumental ever!
@@anton-2385 Definitely in the top 3 for me.
My fav instrumental of Metallicas is " to live is to die".
The best metallica rule
Not to be disrespect to great Metallica, but you should try listen to some Buckethead then rethink what it's definition of instrumental

-This song was in Guitar Hero Metallica.
The intro is actually a Hammond organ played through a guitar amp combined with Cliff's bass.
Read the book ‘To Live Is To Die: The Life & Death Of Metallica's Cliff Burton’. It explains exactly what the intro is. Most, if not everyone is wrong on how it was achieved. \m/!!!
He in the short time he had inspired more bass players then any one ever in history, just imagine if he was still around this many years later.
To this day the one and only Metallica song i never skip after 20+ years of listening to it. Masterpiece!

This song is absolutely Cliff Burton in a nutshell. His Dad commented that Metallica didn't have any songs you can dance to, so Cliff wrote one
Ktulu is in order!
Yes! One of the three instrumentals I love
Cliff Burton's Magnum Opus.
🔥🤘😎🤘🔥
RIP, Cliff. We hardly knew ye. 🥺
Well he died before I was born, so I didn't know him at all!
@@lexiporter7186 Yes you do in ALL of the music you listen to, he inspired every bass player you listen to now so you hear him through everyone.
R.I.P Cliff Burton what a bass player he was
Can’t believe you guys didn’t do the lyric video 😂
You would think they would know that already after reacting to Rush, YYZ.
Orion lyrics:
Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
YEAH
YEAH
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeeey-yeeeeaaahh
Woah-oah!
I should sing orion, call of ktulu, anasthesia and to live is to die at karaoke
Ah yeaaahhh! Cliff Burtons Masterpiece. That distorted bass riff solo 😬dammmn!

R.I.P. Cliff Burton! What an absolute masterpiece of an album, and this song..... Man......the whole package.
Now ya gotta hit Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth).....Cliffs bass solo from the first album. One take, straight through. It is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Worst bass solo ever recorded. It's a hot mess. Love Cliff but come on. It's bad. Orion has WAY better bass playing and soloing in it.
@groovelife415 i respect your opinion
Cliff Burton is one of the best bassists to ever play bass and live his life was taken waaayyyyy toooooo early. His presence and performance will never be duplicated in our lifetime. RIP Cliff Burton ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tight, tight, TIGHHHHT instrumental. One of my favs onPuppets. Great vid n reaction 6 n Smoke. 🤜💥🤛
Yeah blue yellow pink......
@kennethbartlett4302 nice catch Bartlett. Sleeping death was cool
Thanks Tuco
@@brandonjones1349 Thank you
At the end of Metallicas movie “Thru the Never” Robert and the band do an awesome rendition of this during the credits. Very underrated movie.
Had the pleasure of seeing Metallica at Donnington 1985......unbelievably on stage before RATT !!!!!.......Cliff Burton was a monster that day..... absolutely held it all together👏👏👏👏
Another Metallica must instrumental, 'Call of Ktulu' off Ride the Lightning ⚡🤘🔥
This is my favorite Metallica song. Just awesome. Check out the live versions with Cliff Burton. This song IS Cliff. You can hear his influence throughout.
Morning guys! LOVE THIS SONG!I havent heard ❤it in a long time! This is one of the albums that got me into metal when I was like 12? Love it!!!
I've been waiting for you guys to react to this one, there's tons more you have to explore that I look forward too.
One of my most favorite songs next to Call of K'tulu. Two Metallica songs I will never ever skip when it comes over the airwaves or on my playlists.
GREAT reaction guys!! What a wonderful way to start my Friday! Yup...this places in my top 5 Metallica songs...and I owe most, if not all of it to Cliff Burton (RIP).

my favorite Metallica song EVER! absolute masterpiece
MetallicA
' Orion '
- another one of their best instrumentals ...
- love the ' time change ' in the middle of the song
- solos, & Cliff Burton's last recordings B4 Yk what on
Sept 1986
🤘🏻😆
✌🏻😸✌🏻
love your work men as always. keep at it.great reactions. no yeaaaah in them days haha
If you like instrumentals like this, I highly recommend the Call of Ktulu, To Live is To Die, and Suicide and Redemption. All are masterpieces that really show off how well Metallica can sound when they let the instruments do the talking.
You guys should do Call of Ktulu next, another instrumental only that is a masterpiece
One of their best songs and it didn’t even need lyrics!! RIP Cliff Burton
I am thoroughly captivated every time I listen to this decade after decade. It's truly a masterpiece. Another Great vid guys ❤
I believe Metallica's first 4 albums all had an instrumental track on them, check out Call of Kuthulu on Ride the Lightning!
Yep, those 4 instrumentals are Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), Call Of Ktulu, Orion and To Live Is To Die.
Correct. Fun fact: My Friend of Misery on the Black album was supposed to be an instrumental, but they later decide to add lyrics.
@@Lord_Raptoranother Fun Fact: the intro of ‘My Friend of Misery’ and ‘Anesthesia:PullingTeeth’, are very close….really close to each other. It’s played a bit different, but it’s really close to each other. I would guess Jason did this as a tribute to Cliff. Just a thought. 🤔 Cheers!!!! \m/
The very melodic part was Cliff writing in a section for his parents to dance to. It is also a waltz tempo and not new wave.
If they have a show september 27 they always play this song in memory of Cliff.
This is my Fav. It's a pies of art, a masterpies. I hear it since 35 years. Every time I get goosebumps.
Cliff 'em all - we miss you.
RIP Cliff
Thank you Smokey! You came through on mentioning The concession stand brawl. That match inspired Onita to form FMW bc he was there for that show on his first US visit. Which also inspired ECW because Sabu Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka all had time in FMW

YES Cliff was a musical Beast, I heard Cliff would like to play acoustic Guitar on his free time

The reason it sounds like there's a crazy time-signature is because Lars throws in a weird drum fill which messes up the timing if you're trying to bob your head along with the music.
The middle section is 6/8 not 3/4
@Devypocalypse my mistake, you're right.
@@carlgibson285 no worries brother 🤝🏻
it's the best instrumental track of Metallica
One of my favorite riffs to play
They started their world tour last year in Amsterdam with this song…instant chills when I heard those first notes on the bass
So no, it’s not a song “to give James’ voice some rest” 😄
By the way, they used to (for the first few albums) have an instrumental track for every album.
A masterpiece thank you Cliff we miss you and your amazing influence on this Metallica era🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥲🥲🥲 at 10:52 shivers ….
To Live Is To Die is another BEAUTIFUL instrumental from one of their best albums
I used too sit in high school art class in my rocking chair high as a kit and just veg out to this song one of best song of all time take that too the bank
Smokey knows the lyrics 🎶
This song pulls every emotion out of me in one sitting… it’s truly a masterpiece
Great reaction guys. Music at its finest 👌
Back in the day I made myself a tape of this song looping over and over to play while I slept
A few random recommendations for metal instrumentals:
Testament - Musical Death (A Dirge)
Death - Cosmic Sea
Death - Voice of the Soul
Obituary - Redneck Stomp
Gorguts - Waste of Mortality
Wicked - The Stellar Sunset of Evolution
And it's not metal, but Steve Vai's 'For The Love of God' is 1 of the greatest musical feats of all time (I will never be convinced otherwise). If that song doesn't move your soul, then you probably don't have one.
Cliff Burtons two major influences were Thin Lizzy and Bach. I think both of those influences are pretty apparent on this one hahah
The bluesy riffs and harmonies are Hetfield. He did more of that on the load/reload albums too
One their best music. Only music dudes. Burton is heading on this. You should listen to "Damage Inc". Pure metal. Thank you for your company!
Great reaction fellas. That groove trapped you both! New sub here looking forward to more ✌️
So goddamn good! 20 year old dudes in Copenhagen Denmark - no clue they’d turn into what they did. Incredible!!
Good to see you guys again listening to Metallica.
The Big Muff what a great distortion pedal
A little star traveling courtesy of Cliff 🤘✨🖤🤘🕊🌌🌟💜🤘
Ed.. on Metallica's page today they dropped video of For Whom the Bell Tolls and Orion from San Francisco 10 years ago I just happened to notice it right after this reaction to Orion where smokey mentions For Whom the Bell Tolls LOL thought you guys should know about it
Master of Puppets album is just face melting…my first time ever hearing Metallica and was just blown away…total game changer for Music
One of my favorite songs of all time 🫡Rest in Peace Cliff
I just love their, MetallicA
1st 4 LPs / albums:
- Kill 'Em All ( ©1983)
- Ride the Lightning ( ©1984)
- Master of Puppets ( ©1985)
- ... And Justice for All ( ©1988)
🤘🏻😆
I used to wear out my cassette copy of 'Garage Days' as well. I still love 'The Wait' and the Misfits covers are fun.
@@Dystopia1111 - Jason Newsted was cool too,
Garage Days, Revisted , ( the $5.98 ) was a good cover LP
Lars: the bass can't be the focus of a song.
Cliff: Hold my doobie.
They just weren’t ready for a song all bass(quoting Bill and Ted Face The Music lol)
How Orion got recommended and a reaction before Damage Inc, is beyond me but I'm here for it.
Lyrics by Dave Mustaine
it was written by Cliff Burton, it played at his funeral and to this day every time they play it James always ends it with the words "We miss you Cliff"
This is Cliff Burton DUDE!!!!
The fact that the “this is great” part is a waltz is also a “this is great” part!!
definitely one of the best metal instrumental song ever...timeless 💯🔥 next : inquisition symphony from the album Schizophrenia by Sepultura...a little bit harder...a little bit faster... 🤘💥
Call of Ktulu is another instrumental from the Ride the Lightning album
Good morning, Trash Talkers. G'day.
Not what I expected: I don't typically associate a term like "plodding" with Metallica, and that's what came to mind in the first section. Sounds are all there, 2nd part has harmonized leads, another interesting side-trip in my view, part 3 sounds a bit more aggro, just a bit, sure, dudes, go for it. Yeah, interlude, maybe. 😊
I could go several ways with suggestions: more off 'Garage Inc.'; the cover of early Pink Floyd's 'Astronomy Dominé' by Quebec's Voivod; I'm also interested in hearing 'Mr. Soul', 'The Seeker' or 'Seven and Seven Is' by Rush from their 'Feedback EP; or early Jimi Hendrix psychedelic freakout ride 'The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam's Dice'. Any or all would be more than cool. Deuces!
✌🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
When you blaze with this song you can feel the journey.
It’s funny you keep on bringing up Tool & Metallica together. They have been friends over the years especially Kirk & Adam. They worked with each other during Fear Inoculum were Kirk was helping Adam with guitar techniques.
Yes. All that whah pedal use on that album, especially 7empest was with imput from Kirk.
The songs that need no words!!!!!
Nice! Now do the acoustic version of Orion by Rodrigo y Gabriela. They are FIRE.
Fun fact: the very beginning was recorded using multiple bass tracks, which is unheard of because it's a nightmare to mix properly. Shows how much they trusted cliff to come up with something that harmonically won't collide with each other. This song is mainly a showcase of Cliff's compositional abilities.
But we also have to give credit to Lars for coming up with that tasty weird awesome drum beat that makes 4/4 sound like some crazy mix of odd time signatures. Yeah, hard to believe but it is fully in 4/4
Brings back some memories!
One of the best Instrumentals you'll ever hear. This is easily my #1 instrumental ever, followed closely by Eric Johnson's "Cliff's of Dover".
The fact the he is spoken about with such reverence 38 years after his passing with only 3 albums of work tells me hes the G.O.A.T.
I think Cliff was an amazing bass player, maybe one of the best. No disrespect to Metallica but I believe that he could have shined more for another band
Agree but also don't actually know what band he would have been better suited for. Maybe Savatage?
Cliff’s iconic bass line from this song is tattooed on James Hetfield’s arm (in sheet music form).
All of their instrumentals are very good btw. Call of Ktulhu, To Live Is To Die are another masterpieces. And there was such thing as progressive metal when they wrote it. This is demonstration of their skills not as musicians but as composers. Thanks for reaction
First metal I ever heard was Metallica - Kill Em All on vinyl... I was just enamored and then I heard Master Of Puppets and I was sold. Been a metal head since 1992 🤘💀🤘
It is criminal you guys don't have more subs. Criminal!
We really wanted to cover this in my old band, but I could never get ahold of that bass solo
Not Metallica's only song without lyrics
You definitely should check out their other 4 instrumentals, they are all phenomenal!
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - Cliff Burton's legendary bass solo
Call of the Ktule (my personal favorite instrumental)
To Live is to Die
Suicide & Redemption
What an absolute banger of a song from perhaps the greatest metal album of all time
I always loved making mix CDs or tapes of just instrumental tracks, smoking, putting on headphones and just chilling with my eyes closed. This song pretty much always made the list. If you dig instrumental tracks, check out a band called Russian Circles. They never have vocals and I would consider them prog metal. Every song is fire so I can't even give a specific recommendation
Just incase nobody else mentioned it, this song was Cliff Burton's parent's favorite Metallica song, because they could Waltz through the slow chill part.
Bass intro is the bass line for dj shadow’s the number song 👌
A Masterpiece❤
It's so hard to figure out where in my life am I at in this song! Pure Masterpiece!
