[themanh310]

Don't forget to say "Hi Cliff!"

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

[CowardsBendTheKnee]

Real men wear bell bottom jeans and don't give a fuck if it's trendy or not!

[theskullmaster5898]

Looking back, you notice that they played like "sloppy" and over the years they have improved greatly not only in their playing but in their spirits :D

[Noodles74958]

R.I.P Cliff the best bass player ever metallica were the same when they lost you

[PixelsIAF]

Hey Cliff!!

[99MrBrownstone]

I guaranteed he's the best heavy metal bassis in the world.. till now..

[janehansenlaluzerne]

Cliff MASTERS his quitar,GREAT sound and video footage of the early thrash years!!!

[Hulamonkey45]

sure cliffs not as fast as billy sheehan or victor wooten and sure he never did a tap beethoven solo using three string chords like sheehan did but cliff in my mind is the greatest bassist ever he knew when to solo and when to hold back to make the overall song a masterpiece he wrote pulling teeth at the age of 19 a full piece using classical triads and a great musical knowledge while he was kid but he has a never ending amount of passion for his music and his performances

[CCbadboy90]

He just died because god wanted someone good for his band

[ElPolloLocoS13]

i can quite play the studio version(not accurate) but this version is WAYY too fucking insane.

[cali805couple]

Cliff was a fucking madman!

[shikpan]

simply the ONLY master!

[rvdrocks316]

How can you dislike this even if its only three people that's still crazy

[MetalDude1996]

lol! james pointed his finger at someone!! 2:42

[rvdrocks316]

@MetalDude1996 Hey actually gave someone the middle finger

[Daudiu]

GOD please take justin bieber instead of cliff! send cliff back!

[acooper45]

He's one of those rare guys that can shred on a bass guitar.

[driftman96]

[SuperBurton89]

R.I.P cliff burton.he's probably up there playing with the gods.scratch that... HE IS A GOD!

[CaliRob714]

[kaboose1994]

OMG i love how Cliff plays dat bass and how he friking moves damn it we miss you Cliff

[metallicabassplayer9]

I can not imagine what metallica would be if cliff would still alive

RIP Clifford Lee Burton

[zxcvbnm600]

if he were still with them they would control the world :D

[triblent]

to be honest i think if cliff was still alive he would ve left metallica like prob like 2 albums after MoP but hey he was the greatest

[Racko94]

@triblent if cliff was still alive after MoP, i dont think Black would have been made how it was, and even AJFA would be alot different

[ssarush]

@metallicabassplayer9 beyond our wildest dreams

[harro098765]

holy shit. He was the fucking most badass bassist ever.

[sueellen360]

Cliff "God" Burton

[jamesg1978]

fucking metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hisvorpalswords]

Cliff lives!

[VoOkId]

Guys Cliff Was And Is the best bass player ever You can't imagine how hard it is to do the bends He does on the bass guitar R.I.P. Cliff

[Velocispic]

Yeah, its a bitch to do! I can't stop watching this video either. He's too much of a badass... maybe what he did was make the hardest notes to play ever, so that he could be a one of a kind or something. That jerk... but he is the MVB of Metal. (Most Valuable Bassist).

[HOAX900]

@VoOkId no one is the best everyone has their own style of bass playin cliff is still good

[thaPrimus]

@VoOkId

no, cliff was never and indeed will never be the best. why is that every metallica fans brings up cliff burton is the best bassist ever? heck trujillo out-basses him.

[JayX144]

@thaPrimus trujillo is an amazing bassist, that is true, but he doesnt have the energy and style of cliff, and noone ever will. thats why we all love him

[thaPrimus]

@JayX144 style is right, but energy? debatable, still cliff suits metallica better than trujillo.

[Starcraft2Rogue]

@thaPrimus cliff is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH ³³³³³³³³³ better than the fucking mexican, a idiot called trujillo.

[ob3ypr1mus]

@Starcraft2Rogue

shut up you stupid racist fuck, are you so biased towards the caucasian race that white people are indefinitely better than other people?

[Starcraft2Rogue]

@ob3ypr1mus not racist. Just don't like how a mexican entered an american style band.

[ob3ypr1mus]

@Starcraft2Rogue

1) that's racist.

2) robert trujillo isn't from mexico, he was born in america even.

3) "american style" doesn't mean shit.

4) i bet you don't have a problem with lars ulrich despite he's hailing from the other side of the world. so much for your "american style" band, dipshit.

metallica fans are the worst.

[goowy1256]

holy shit, i thought that was an electric guitar he was playing so fast!

[Psycherz]

0:53 do any of you know how insanely difficult that is?

To do slow even?

Screw this. He's not human. He can't die.

Here I am 20 years later still trying to figure out how the heck he managed to play like that.

He lives strong.

[videogamer1805]

@Psycherz

Playing it isnt even the hardest part. It's being good enough to be able to IMPROVISE this well.

[Psycherz]

@videogamer1805

Ya I know. That improv while not even looking at the guitar, headbanging like that... wtf?!

[Daudiu]

@Psycherz It's obvious he's not human! he is a god can't you see? no one can play bass better than him!

[AllRockable]

@Psycherz

aahhh it isn´t that hard

ok it's fuckin hard but yozu can learn it............

. after years of training^^

[Psycherz]

@AllRockable

I've been playing for about 2 years now on guitar and bass, and there's no way I'd be able to pull that off on the much thicker bass strings.

[AllRockable]

@Psycherz

mmh

[MyMegaTroll]

@Psycherz Actually it's not that hard . Dont get it as an insult, i like and respect cliff burton , i have him as my main influence

[marco7centurion]

@Psycherz actually doing that isn't the difficult part, the hardest thing is to have the IDEA to do that. I for one would never have thought of doing something like that hadn't I heard cliff do it, but the act itself, the technique isn't all that hard

[motley8oy]

is there a complete video of this show

[sibzter]

R.I.P. Cliff, you were the greatest.

[TECHNOID69]

iconic 4mins 50. remember seein it on cliff em all and droppin my jaw.

[sammyr63]

this is the real metallica cliff holding and pointing that bass like a damn machine gun and james flipping the crowd off and drinking heinekens this is the metallica i remember the one that kicked your ass everytime they played.

[disposeablehero757]

cliff was fuckin crazy!

[Rinneganpein389295]

I've never heard them go into the Four Horsemen at the end of this song... well, you learn something new everyday

[Shmark144]

Holy F***

[dalerulz3]

He died on my half birthday. I remember the day! What a black fuckin day!

[funnydude2311]

its amazing how cliff make the bass sound in the beginning

[pakishock91]

HI CLIFF!

[Lemmyshruya4o]

does anyone know what effects Cliff used? his bass sounds so badass!!

[oreion69]

Distortion and Waaahhhh, I think.

[ProtossHydralisk]

i think thats right, sounds like it is

[iivaan1995]

i thought the wah was the whammy bar?? isnt it? xD

[oreion69]

Um, well to tell you the truth I've never used a whammy bar as of now.

I know they tense and loosen the strings without tampering with the tuning of the guitar. So might be able to make a wah sound with em.

But there's definitely a wah pedal.

[iivaan1995]

okey i know what you mean :D ive got a whammybar on my guitar but not a pedal :D

[SputniksArmy]

no. lmfao. you just made yourself look stupid. Wah and whammy bar are two different things. Wah is the sound, generated from a pedal, while whammy bar just changes the pitch in a sustain note with the bar, this is usually called a tremelo

[chidori123457]

they use a wah wah pedal connected to the amp -_- this isn't guitar hero kid......

[iivaan1995]

I dont play guitar hero.. just that i got a whammy bar on my REAL guitar! and i dident know that waaaaahh meant wah PEDAL!! ok? :S

[bpmbrent]

wow, this is unreal. i like trujillo, but cliff has him hands down

[slugger20120]

Every member of this band (cliff, james, kirk, and lars) all are the reason why this band is the way they are. Without any of them, they lose a sense of...themselves.

[chedyman]

cliff you are my idol i love metallica

[gogogitarista]

the studio version is slowley than this,btw nice video and great song

[imjusttoogood]

Here's my opinion: WHO FUCKING CARES!!???  He's good enough to be in the greatest metal band ever, he helped write kick-ass songs, "Battery," < is a separate point btw, and who needs the greatest drummer ever when you have the greatest bassist ever?

[WHATISDIZ]

Best For Whom The Bell Tolls ever

[axeppo]

Hell YEAH!!! The best ever was with with Cliff

[kakehavata]

Mike Portnoy isn't a metal drummer either and he IS great, but Metallica songs wouldn't be the same without Lars... Maybe he isn't the best 'technical' player in the world, but he is an awsome drummer and he definetly works for a legendary band like Metallica...

[sean33313]

dude lars isn't good listen to death magnetic than was just sick (in the bad way) i mean im a bassist but lars just got lazy but in the 80s he was beast

[RandyLeeSnyderJr]

Nope,Dave Lombardo

[beserker1912]

heres the point shut the fuck up and enjoy metallica one of the heaviest fuckin bands in history.

[eduardo14l]

i wish i was there :(

[cyznik]

R.I.P. Cliff Burton 1962-1986

Copy and Paste if you respect the fallen hero. metallica foreverI would go back in time and kill that motherfucking bus driver the night cliff died

[haloandmetriodfan32]

wow look at guy jumping in the back at 4:42

[Zeldadude17]

cliff is on fire over here

[enix165]

Cliff's going crazy on that bass. =) He's was a god then, and he always will be...

[jukeboxhero2323]

i love how james says "hi cliff" at the beginning of the vid xD

[YoungCam2008]

My first time seeing this was on Live Shit Binge and Purge. Cliff was a beast on bass man, this solo is definetly top ten greatest Solo's PERIOD.

[Chocktastik]

RIP Cliff

[ashokasura]

cliff is so intense in his performance

[RandomoVideos]

The main riff sounds weird in this video...

[artcellrox]

0:07 to 0:28 shows why he's my favorite bassist.

1:53 Did you see the excited look on his face. Man, he really loved playing. R.I.P. Cliff.

2:03 Is it just me, or does Kirk look like Marty Friedman in that shot?

[watarball]

fucking is not annoying

[Sblezo]

Nice point!

[dyfodoo]

lol @ 4:43 on the right :p:p:p

[AustralLord]

cliff is a beast on that guitar, btw does anyone know what it is?

[Sblezo]

That's a bass!

Aria Pro II SB-1000  ; )

[moporama]

lmao kirks playing a strat

[bongowongowongo]

acctualy its esp

[iLikechevelle]

who's cliifs? no it's an Aria II Pro SB-1000 black and gold, james is using a 1984 gibson explorer, and kirk is using an old fender strat

[bongowongowongo]

kriks is a esp he uses the same on in the video for one

[iLikechevelle]

looks like a fender, he does an esp in the video for one, but kirk is using a fender- you can tell by the headstock.

[wartime15]

And James is using a Gibson you can so tell by the headstock and in the video at around 1:10 - 1:20

[iLikechevelle]

yeah those are very recognizable because of the black headstock

[wartime15]

and you can kinda see the golden gibson logo, but just barily due to the not so great quality of this video and to James moving around the satge dosen't help much!

[Virtuoosi6]

crazy headbanging

[startrooper64]

by the way i dont know if you knew this but cliff was god's other son

[accurist94]

Cliff was a monster on stage

RIP Cliff Burton

[hametfan]

12 star

[gp4nut]

this is when they were at their best, before they sold out.

[akirajackson]

descansa en paz sr burton ni en mil sucesores encontraras a nadie que te iguele eso incluye a robert trujillo sorry

[kirkpeck]

whats up with the negative comments?

[JLPIII]

how many fingers did cliff play with? i couldnt get a good look at them.

[DimeLivesInUs]

All of them looks like.

[MetallifukencA]

looked like 2 possibly 3

[Niker22]

R.I.P Cliff

Dejaste todo aca en este mundo. jamas te olvidaremos.

[Du57yx91630n5]

no, you very sadly mistaken, I'll give Les a pass, but the others pure shit compared to Cliff.

[DeJoseph]

Cliff would have been better than afew of today's good bassists like wooten and claypool if he had more time :/

[littlecolonal]

he's just as good as them anyway

[quacko11]

cliff is better than all he is the best !!!!!!

[petersam101]

Ahmen brother and we will miss him dearly

[metfan500]

cliff is the best bass player in this world! no one is better than him!!

[beserker1912]

i wish i could have them plug their amps into a set of head phones, turn it up to 13, then i put on the head phones and they just wail on the guitars......as for lars he'll have to play extra loud unless he doesnt mind playing electric drums.

[hXcRobotsInJapan]

Ah yes, I DO know Victor Wooten. He is indeed amazing. He probably is better than Cliff, just I enjoy listening to Metallica more

[aaron5115]

Wooten plays differently than cliff, wooten and the rest are amazing, but cliff plays sorta lead bass. and thrash metal :D

[NavyHotness]

*jaw drops* omg that is so f***in cool!!!

[hXcRobotsInJapan]

You may be right, but I don't know any of them. Send me a video of them doing stuff like this. Most people can't play bass THAT FAST with just their fingers

[hXcRobotsInJapan]

They probably wouldn't have proceeded to sell out or create an album where you can't hear the bass at all

[Xyphas]

Really? Who?

[Xyphas]

To, Kotowboy or whatever his name is who said "There are better bassists than Cliff"

[Hasselhoff2007]

this is so good where is the rest of the show!?!? anywhere!?!?! on 38/39 fucking bad ass hammer on!!!. Cliff will live forever in my mind.

[Ghotifisch]

Damn

Cliff is really a god

[Thefake3]

Is there someone there this live version in a mp3 file? ::)

[Berzrk3r]

I'm trying to learn this bass and jesus fuckin christ the sheer speed at the beginning is stupid lol

[GeeMoney25]

Cliff was a monster bass player..we all agree on that. It is so sad he passed away so early. I often wonder how Metallica would have evolved if Cliff still was with us. But that`s an answer I`ll never get..sadly

[GreenDayReallySucks]

Yeah, it's really interesting to think... what would the band sound like if Cliff would still be with them today? Same with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads

[nikklazz]

Isn't there anyone with more videos from day on the green? I would love to see the whole concert 'cause this video is so good.

[hammettloko]

cliff !!! bassgod

[Lancion]

fucking hell....cliff is a god....

[adythundergod]
