[tvcqjvd66]

Cliff Burton, was, is still and will always be a man from an other planet. RIP.

[vlucas666]

Man I wish i was born in this year ( 80's ) when i first started playing bass i was playing the bass without passion. Then i started viewing youtube for bass solo's then in somehow for the past 7 years i've watched this video and gain confidence and passion to play my bass guitar. Now i play my bass guitar with confidence and its all because of cliff burton, He lives in me even if i dont know him that much, He's my inspiration ! CLIFF EM ALL !|

R.I.P Cliff We will never forget you !

[TheSkeetskeetXD]

@vlucas666 thats just...

too awesome

[ryan25733]

Cliff is the reason I started to play bass.

[hentai4mi]

MASTER

[Sorenishii]

Cliff Burton IS the God of Bass, he didn't die. He was just granted immortality.

[kurvixon]

WOW look at the speed of cliff's hands 1:45

[MegaBloodlust]

Cliff Burton was a true master of the bass solo.

[JeffHtun]

When I first heard of Cliff many years ago...I decided to look at one his mighty works like this one.. the first thing that came to my mind was "This guy cannot be human..did he trade his soul?"

[LaGuChApA]

simply awesome!!

[manorexicdude]

WTF .....I'm giving up bass & taking up flute.....

[Tuindwergje]

Cliff ain't dead, he's just teaching God how to play bass.

[IIvIIetalhead]

25 years ago, Metallica decided to sellout. RIP Cliff

[cursedswordsman]

@IIvIIetalhead I agree. Cliff would never have let the band do that, bless him.

[IIvIIetalhead]

@cursedswordsman Yeah, he certainly wouldn't have let all old metallica fans down like this.

[TheCocky69]

@IIvIIetalhead How did they "sellout"?

[1234gnrslash]

@IIvIIetalhead Wow. Learn to broaden your music tastes... are you saying ...and Justice for All isn't a real album? Not to mention a couple decent songs on the Black Album...lol

[metalscottsman]

@1234gnrslash I agree with the other dude to a degree. I like the Justice album, but after that Metallica was headin' down hill fast. they LET Bobby Rock kill everything that made Metallica so fuckin' good. He was apart of every album that was garbage from the Black album through Death Magnetic. people try to make the point that "The Black album was their best selling album so how can it be bad?" Well The backstreet boys have the # 8 top selling album ever at 40mil sold. Popular does not = good

[mrmonster125]

@metalscottsman hay atleast they had newsted at a time

[metalscottsman]

@mrmonster125 I like Newstead, i really do...but he showed up just in time to be a part of his favorite band go to shit.

[mrmonster125]

@metalscottsman yah i want him to go to metallica again get my point lol

[1234gnrslash]

@IIvIIetalhead Or is it just because they happened to get famous...

Good music can sometimes get you famous, you know....

[navarretus]

cliff for ever!!!

[JaNeIsKlarDu]

4 or 5 string bass?

[briands1993]

@JaNeIsKlarDu 4, I'm pretty sure that Cliff never used 5 strings in Metallica.

[azerty7889]

@JaNeIsKlarDu This is a rickenbacker 4001 bass, they always have 4 strings

[MetalheadPedro]

Man, I saw Robert Trujilo making a solo at rock in rio. He is great, but he will never be as great as Cliff Burton. RIP Cliff Burton.

[mrmonster125]

@MetalheadPedro or jason newsted

[ObsceneAntichrist]

After listening to that Metallica/Lou Reed bullshit, I had to return to this video. I'm depressed now.

[bond00777777]

RIP Cliff 25 years from tragedy

[largavidaaldioshomer]

25 years have passed, but The Memory Remains

[thrashupyourazz]

Where did you go, what has happened to such an impowering full of greatness man, such as yourself? Through 1962 to 1986 you have blessed everyone with your presence and your music. You are always in the hearts and souls of the true followers. The ones who let metal live on to it's peak of fulfillment. You are another greatness taken from us for no reason, but for the sake of god. You will always live in our hearts and we will always carry your name like a torch in the dark night!

[MrLuckyGold]

We miss you Cliff

[shroudbass]

My hero...along with Geddy Lee n Steve Harris

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

I'm crying now

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

Cliffs 25th aniversary since he died ;(

[SirJack]

this is so badass, im a guitarist but there should be more bass solos like this, but unfortunately one of the best looks down at us and smiles as we watch his videos ;)

[NotAnfuni]

RIP Cliff. God is probably rocking out to some intense bass lines right now.

[MrGuitarTabs]

Shit! I'm crying. 25 years since you are gone! 25!! :'(

[lastgreatsea]

I WISH IT WAS LARS

[george4mon]

terrible

[def1n1nggsus]

@george4mon cliff burton is a god... and u are a douche... fuck u

[Bitplague]

I expected like millions of views :(

Oh well.

[19HATEWORLDWIDE73]

i would like if Lombardo(drums) Burton(bass) Mustaine(lead) Hammett or King(lead) that'd be something. there are so many combinations the list can go on. Debates would be furious as to which line up would be untouchable right?? Shit i forgot vocals, now i'm really scratching my chin. Maybe Cavalera

[RoRoWhatsername]

este hombre es un puto dios

[OffishellHK]

kirk plays much faster solo's etc then dave did though. dave was much more metal.

[locohenry]

that night cliff got his cock sucked by 15 chicks all at once

[evi1pacman]

nobody cant headbang like cliff \m/

[ampmjuku]

Flea and Cliff bass duet would make your ears turn into low frequency nymphos, think about it

[3027628]

117 people are emo fags.



[androknroll]

Cliff Burton was the God of Bass!!!!

[godspeedmarine]

@androknroll Cliff Burton is STILL the God of Bass!!!

[mrhappywaffle865]

rickenbackers rule!



[fredsassy5]

Cliff Burton was the Jimi Hendrix of bass guitar

[anibalventura123]

papa cliff!!!

[SuperWeedPower]

God was so enchanted, he took Cliff to learn how to play a BASS.

[ELCH1935]

Cliff

We Thing on you -- Wir Denken an dich

Gruss

[WhoDaBigGuy]

Metallica died with Cliff Burton!

[Metallifuch]

@WtfAceLol Ever heard of improvisation?

[CliffordLeBurton]

3:55 CLIFFS PLAYING CLIFFS OF DOVER!!!!! not my type of music but still!.. he did it on the bass though EVEN BETTER

[fredsassy5]

Cliff Burton really was the lead bassist:)

[pancakethebunny14]

@WtfAceLol sounds like the main riff from set the controls to the heart of the sun by floyd

[gringer15taringa]

@WtfAceLol no. Tell us.

[spudedovyick619]

Major rager, and the four stringed motherfuckaaa!!!

[spudedovyick619]

Major rager, four stringed motherfuckaa!!

[BurtonNewsted]

He plays different when he performs Anesthesia live. Like 1:46 - That wasn't on the album version of the song. Or 1:22 and after 2:11 it sounds completely different.

[Mordownick]

@BurtonNewsted Burton said in some interview, that when he played a song like 2nd+ time in same place he improvised a lot then

[BurtonNewsted]

@Mordownick

Really? Where did you read/watch it? I barely found any interviews with him. But I'm going to buy his book "To Live Is To Die - the life and death of Metallica's Cliff Burton" There should be a lot of stuff about him. Anyone got the book already? Do you recommend it?

[sobman]

@BurtonNewsted

I can only recommend it in the fact that it's loosely about cliff. Sure, it has his GF in there, but the dude is just a horrible writer and interviewer. You'll be monumentally disappointed.

[BurtonNewsted]

@sobman

It's the only book about Cliff Burton, what a pity. I think I'll buy it nonetheless, I'll definitely get some informations and facts that I didn't know before. Thank's.

[BassOutcast]

Ok , the album's Kill 'Em All so the Cliff song is Cliff 'Em All , but let me get this straight , if the album's name was Metal Up Your Ass , the Cliff song would be like "Burton Up Your Ass" or something ?

[irishsamurai]

@BassOutcast ....dumb

[RatRaceTV]

I'm A bassist And I have 2 I have to inspired bassist. Rob And Cliff from metallica [:

[thesupermetalfan01]

i'm bassist and i have two gods: steve harris and cliff burton!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zcombs86]

thats definately Mustaine intoducing cliff you can james stanging off to the left with his white flying v drinkin mustaine is off to the right talking

[brassmonkey456654]

you can really hear lars bass drum, it goes good with cliff's bass

[elfamoso75]

i dont think anybody can ever be like cliff...... maybe Trujillo comes a little close but not really

[kancherito33]

The one talking at the beginning is Mustaine, right?

[SuperChamona]

@kancherito33 That's obviously Hetfield. Dave Mustaine acts and sounds NOTHING like that.

[kancherito33]

@SuperChamona Actually, Mustaine's voice when he was in Metallica sounded pretty much like this.

[SuperChamona]

@kancherito33 But Hetfield was always the one that introduced Cliff. You're right about the voice now that I think of it. It sounds a bit like Mustaine, but I'm 99% sure it's Hetfield.

[URIBENFILM]

@SuperChamona it's mustaine dude

[SuperChamona]

@URIBENFILM Okay, okay.

[MrBass894]

gives me goosebumps if i could play half as good as this id be so happy

[ThatKrookedVulture]

FUCK GOD. My children will worship Cliff Burton. Anyone that even attempts to bash Cliff Burton in any way, shape, or form is not worthy of being considered a human being. Cliff was and still is a fucking god.

[hmalopez]

How can anyone say he was not the best. Metallica's music has gone to shit since Cliffs death.

[ZEBnet1]

Cliff Burton was a valuable part of heavy metal history as a whole. Although not the best to play the instrument, but the best of them to bring the element of hardcore harmony to the genre. Cliff had the talent to make a mess into a piece of art.

[tracy1488]

The MAJOR RAGER on the 4 string MOTHERFUCKER

[JeremyMetal]

Best fucking bassist ever, R.I.P Cliff Burton

[DCR123TV]

It's kinda funny how i just realized Cliff is actually 49 now O_O

[IPoPJe]

@DCR123TV No he's dead, hes been dead since 86 

[DCR123TV]

@IPoPJe obviously i already know that, he was alive for 24 years, and has been dead for 25 which totals up to 49 years, just like when people say Jon lennon is 70 years old when he only lived up to 40.

[blakedub13]

if metallica was still hetfield, mustaine, burton, and ulrich........holy shit

[ZuBeRCraZyBassY]

@blakedub13 they would be the only big metal band , no big 4 shit !!

[BurntIce12]

@blakedub13 Cliff and Mustaine would have fucked off together and formed an even better band.

[salottin]

@blakedub13 It would be heavier than this crap they actually make

[bjdplumbing]

@blakedub13

I hear you Bro!!! Hetfield only replaced Mustaine (not judging mind you) but look at it this way.................. The best of the best of the best...... Mike Portnoy (sorry Lars) on the sticks, Cliff Burton (Bass), Dave Mustaine (Rhythm, Yeah I meant  Rhythm), Paul Gilbert (lead) and dare I say it.... Bon Scott or David Lee Roth on throat!!! Beat that line up if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[360Freakoutkid]

@bjdplumbing Imagine if geddy lee and cliff burton had Bass off.

[iiHavocKreator69]

@blakedub13 it would be great because we probably wouldnt have st.anger

[izzyalistair]

@blakedub13 Then we wouldn't have Megadeth, which would sadden me because Rust in Peace was fucking incredible.

[thrashupyourazz]

@blakedub13 Dude if it was, Metallica would still be at the top of their game, making sick ass albums and probably never have cut their hair and went clean!

[URIBENFILM]

CLIFF BURTON: THE LAST ROCK LEGEND!

[PaulKersey108]

jaw dropping shit right here

[PositivelyBored]

Cliff was the most musical person in Metallica, by far.

[metalhed1100]

@PositivelyBored agreed he wrote like all their best intrumentlse 

[navaltronic]

El tipo era sensacional con el bajo.

[t10boen]

can´t believe he's gone

[DrumBum561]

What effect is he using

[Xantheman1]

@DrumBum561 Distortion. A big muff (little big muff) to be exact

[ambush77]

@DrumBum561

wah wah pedal...................

[unholypassion666]

after cliff died metallica went to shit!!!!!!!!!!! fuck the 116 dislikes they dont know what their talking about

[unholypassion666]

after cliff died metallica went to shit!!!!!!!!!!!

[jikoklp]

@unholypassion666 I totally agree with you haha but And Justice was good too but it still had Cliff as in To Live Is to Die

[CBPhenom]

@unholypassion666 metallica's "death" wasn't jason's fault, it was bob rock's

[ambush77]

@CBPhenom

it was their fault..they could have fired Rock but they wanted a change and they got it....for better or worse..i think worse..but hey they made millions bucks with Bob.....so who know..I think they compromised their integrity for the change..and spent 20 years trying to get it back....they are good not that Rob's in the band..james voice id horrid..lars and kirk never got any better ..haha

[PanteraMark]

A 116 dislikes???????? Give me a break!!!!

[TheBayonet666]

God of the four strings

[tallicahead87]

[ShizuCommander]

Dime bag darrel!!!!!!

[TheDereknick]

mra7xgates gods not a dumbass he dont want to hear justin beibers annoying bitch ass he would much rather listen to cliff burton shred and melt his fucking face off

[callange1995]

If you play, like in the heaven you have to go to there :'(

[METALLica963214]

if you guys think about it what if kirk died and not cliff? that night they fought for the bed spot and what if kirk got it and not cliff? metallica has influenced many so what if cliff was still here would rock still be as good and agressive as back then? BTW i need a time machine :)

[skaterpunkdude3]

hell... yes.... 

[kramllessur69]

Remember when we talked! So long ago,,,,

[tomekm900]

The King of a Bass

[fredsassy5]

RIP CLIFF AND DIMEBAG DARRELL

[Denthedragon]

Metallica died when Cliff passed away.

[noahking95]

@Denthedragon no they didnt but a big part of them did cliff was the best there ever was

[fredsassy5]

His band in heaven probably consists of Dimebag on lead, Rev on drums, Dio on vocals, and Randy Rhoads on rhythm

[Dasweetkiller]

@fredsassy5 they are not dead, god just needed his personal band full of legends.... thats it

[semiserioussam]

116 people are straight up bitches.

[MrAsymmetriphobia]

@benjaminkinkaidiris YOU SUCK. no matter how much you hate him, don't be happy for anyone to be dead. ANd itf you hate him so much, why are you watching his video.

[pvrp92]

R.I.P Cliff Burton !

[SandyPubesOfficial]

[Serjery15]
