Cliff Burton was a fucking Genius. this song is so perfectly composed. i've never heard a song with so much emotion and fill me with so much emotion. i was born two years after cliffs death, i've never experienced Metallica with cliff, but only through the albums i have. i wish cliff was still with metallica, but Trujillo is doing a great job and is an amazing bassist. God Bless Cliff Burton, Thank god for Metallica \m/
@MrYogo67 each to his own and all that but for it to be a song it needs words,otherwise its an instrumental,the first 4:43 secs just gave me a headache...sorry...but after that it was ok
Of course Cliif was, is and will be the best bassist on the all the fuckin' world. But when I listen Rob's play, I think that he is good too. Of course not as good as Cliff, but stiil good :)
AT 1:09 Kirk gets in the mode. At 1:16 headbangs old school in front of speaker (in honor to Cliff). At 1:21 breaks his neck: "SHIT I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE"...
Guys give Lars a break! I don't know if you all see that they are JAMMING. There is no need to get it right and plus they wrote the song along with Cliff so they play it however the hell they want to play it because it's theirs.
@josh3684 He's been coasting for years. The studio albums are good when he can have a trillion shots at getting it right but he hasn't been able to keep up in live shows for a decade or more. It's sad to hear him bringing the guys down.
Great musician. In my opinion him and James should say fuck it and just produce the albums themselves, seems like Lars is in on every single decision they make musically.
But as for drumming it's just not even passable anymore.
I shouldn't say that, i believe it is something new, he seems just utterly bored of playing. I heard 'em play 04 or 05 i believe and it was absolutely perfect. Secondly it's thanks to Lars's musicality that we even got the classical albums. Just listen to Seattle or mexico. I haven't ever heard drums do so good live, he doesn't take too much space, it doesn't sound noicy, which all other drummers do, Iron maiden, Slipknot etc. Metallica have had their golden age, they are probably over 60 now!
@rodgu I haven't heard all of the Seattle concert, but I heard most of the songs. He was extremely clumsy on it. Off time, leaving parts out. Like I said I'm a fan of his, on the albums he is fine. It's just that live he is awful. As Metallica fans people have a hard time accepting that but if you listen to it from a musical point of view he's pretty terrible. And I love them, they're one of my favorite bands.
By the way, James and Lars are 47, Kirk is 48. Not sure where you got 60 from.
@losermonster Are you talking about seattle 1993? That was freaking brilliant! I've got the whole Binge and Purge and that is probably the most brilliant drumming i've ever heard, and i've been drumming myself for atleast 5 years
What i think is most silly about Lars is that the only one's that actually seem to hate him is people from the Napster generation. Everyone i know that was into Napsters say that he sucks, everyone that hasn't loves him.
I used to go to sleep to this every night when I was in high school. I had a tape that was Orion copied front to back on both sides, just this song. And when the tape stopped I would wake up and flip it over. I think thats where I developed my insomnia, but I loved this song and was one of the first I learned to play on guitar.
wasn't that supposed to start with a bend rather than slide? rob is awesome and he plays cliff stuff perfect but he always slides in there. don't give a fuck of course, trujillo is awesome anyways. i also wonder how les claypool would play orion..
@gixxerbones lets get in on metallica you tube channel and say to lars get back his old drum kit gogo , metallica will be here in my city i want to see lars with that drum
i have to say that lars drumset sounds so bad that its not even funny, i cant beleive that he actually plays live in front of so many people with that crappy drumset
