whats with the god awful tone on all these "bass only' videos? almost had me wondering if it was fake (pretty sure it isnt). but damn, no wonder the bass was so low in the mix, theres no low end balls and it sounds like its being being played through an overdriven 10w guitar amp
@VBshredder That's kind of how the entire sound on the Justice album is. If you can find isolated drum stems from these songs, they sounds REALLY flat and have very little depth to them. There's just very little depth to any of the instruments on the album. It really was poorly produced-- Metallica themselves even admit to this. I'd be curious to see what somebody could come up with if they messed around with the individual stems and livened up their sound a little.
Hey everyone, you need to check this place out - not spam, completely related btw
It's a collection of more than 700 studio guitar, drum, bass and other isolated tracks just like this one and you can download them for free (there's no catch)
jason was the best bassist metallica ever had because he had energy, great bass player, and most important of all....HE HAD VOCALS FROM HELL....a freak'n BEAST on backing vocals...he made metallica sound great live, they are missing those backing vocals now a days....ex, creeping death 89, in seatle.
@atlimarcher No, I say that he is better is because his style, skill and pure aura influenced me to learn how to play the bass, yes, Jason is a power-bomb of a person, but does not compare to such a bass player as Clifford.
Metallica have admitted the mistake in mixing the bass as low as they did, but it also seems kind of unprofessional to re-release an album, especially now, after 22 years. But I do agree. Bass is way too low on the album.
i thing me second favorite bass player is this guy , but fuking metallica they don't used his talent and he is agreat singer better than james if metallica didn't made the load, reload ,st anger and blakc album too slow and they used jason talen, they were still the kings
Yeah, of course Cliff was far from the best players out there, he's not a John Entwistle, but hey, he was still fucking awesome :) And don't forget the fact that he died at the age of 24, so he was still far from his prime. Imagine what would had become of him after fracticing for 23 years more.
Arguing about who's the best is pointless anyway. Guess he'd just laugh at the stupid fanboyism...
he would have been the best, rob trujillo, do to the fact that he has lived far much longer, has let him surpass cliff, but he would have been better, had he lived
it would be great if one day, jason and the rest of metallica could just get over their personal differences and did one last show together. Creeping Death may be Cliff's song, but it's just not the same anymore without Jason's backing vox.
NMC3190: wow, dude. I LOVE Cliff - but its a pretty heavy statement to say ANYONE is "the greatest whomever lived" no matter what you are talking about. He was amazing, YES. A huge influence for me! But since you havent heard every bassist that ever lived- that is a crap statement to me. :)
Hey now I know what his bass work sounded like on that album, it's not bad at all. No offence, but a couple members all Metallica can be assholes about things. They don't like to give credit to certain members. Like you never hear them mention their first bass player. They never bring up the fact Dave Mustaine recorded songs on Kill Em All and they cut down volumn and response frequency on And Justice for All so you could not hear Jason Newsted on bass since he was new at the time.
Yeah yeah yeah you're just another stupid fan who hasn't got an opinion. Everyone just goes 'Cliff is the best anyone who doesn't like him the best should die' and although Cliff is one of my favourite bassists, I hate the brainwashed fans
You're proving me right. The Metallica fandom is divided- half of them are like me, smart enough to realise Cliff wasn't the best bassist at everything. The other half are brainwashed slaves. Cliff wasn't much of a technical bassist he was a genius composer instead. Jason Newsted has WAY tighter playing than Cliff, but he's not as good a composer
Well now your getting into into a grey, subjective area, what makes an excellent musician? Is it just technical ability, which i agree jason wins. Or is it a combination of technical ability and writing ability, which i believe Cliff is better at overall!!
Jason's playing is very abrasive - which makes it stand out as bass rather than being a guitar enhancer. He may be sloppy playing - but it's freaking awesome.
True, in live performances, Jason had a very strong presence as he was full of energy all the time... but when it comes to who's the better PLAYER, Rob owns.
That's because it wasn't separated from a stereo mix-- not like you're thinking, at least. Rock Band has this song in 11 tracks (4 drums, 1 bass, 2 guitar, 2 vox, 2 bg) which are mixed down to stereo output in realtime. I recorded one xbox output which had all 11 tracks in the mix (preview mode). Then, I played through the song on bass but without playing any notes, effectively muting the bass track, and creating a bass-free output. Therefore, the separation track has ONLY bass.
Reading the description, and knowing how Rock Band works, you would have been able to figure out exactly how I did this rather quickly. ESPECIALLY being an audio engineer ;)
You must be deaf. He has great, aggressive bass tone. What works well in a mix often sounds weird on its own. Just listen to the bass track of "Ride the Lightning." Sounds weird, but works very well in the mix.
On "Kill 'em All" Cliff was using flatwound strings, which are a lot less bright sounding then roundwounds, which are more commonly used in metal and rock.
Also, the guitar tone on "Kill 'em All" is very different and much more thin than on "Ride the Lightning." On the latter, it was harder to cut through, so Cliff used roundwounds and turned up the gain.
i am a bass player of 9 years and one thing that i have understood after sometime of playing it and never liking my bass tone by myself is that unless i am soloing that it doesn't matter how my bass sounds standing alone because it's all about the band mix. and i don't know what the guy above is saying about it being sloppy?
in the info, it says bass mirrors guitar..but really the guitar mirrors the bass and adds things to it because the bass is the rythm along with the drums.
that is the surviving bass track. extracted from rockband. you hear the vocals slightly. its sounds cruddy because 1 its on tape. 2 its a direct recording no compression or anything because they did nothing with it on the original album. they probably didnt rerecord jasons parts from mistakes because they were not intending to use the stuff.
Actually, if you watch A year And A HAlf in The Life Of Metallica, they talk about how Jason picks so hard the mics will record it over the amp. They had to put foam around him so that you couldn't hear it on the black album, and you can hear it hardcore on this.
you know what i dont think this is jason because this is from Rock Band.
and the drums, guitars (lead and rhythm) AND bass are all covered. thats why they sound different in all guitar hero games + rockband 1+2 because they're COVERED. so this is just some dude from redoctane or something that recorded this, thats why u can seperate the channels easier.
All the main GH1 songs are covers, most of the GH2 main songs are covers (except for Stop, John the Fisherman and one other track that was only on the 360), most of the GH3 and RB songs are masters, all of the GHWT and RB2 songs are masters.
Besides which, the RB DLC credits page explicitly lists the Metallica Pack as all masters.
RedOctane didn't publish Rock Band anyhow, much less create music for it ;)
Doing a little research before commenting never hurts ;)
Yea that's Jason alright. This is funny cause I've never heard the bass on any ...And Justice for All Song before because of the way the album is mixed.
i looked on the website and they're for controlling the usual bass, mid, treble, warmth, depth (i think) umm..and the rest are for controlling the LEDs on the neck
wow I see people have no sense of humor xD carry on with your blind fanaticism. Jason is a VERY good bass player, but please, dont get tooooooo fanatic :P
jsonbass is right, cliff wrote all of his bass lines and only got writing credits for the songs he contributed to, like for whom the bell tolls. btw cliff owns on that song.
Jason just follows the guitar for the most part as well so Its very unlikely that he would get any writing credits at all.... You don't even get credits for guitar solos its the main riff and structure as has been said below me
Jason wrote all of his bass lines himself. Writing credits do not include writing a bass line to a song, it only includes the creation of song structure. So when everyone says Jason didn't write his own lines, because he only has two writing credits with Metallica, that's false.
From what James and Lars say, they wrote every guitar and bass part note for note. James said he would even stand over Kirk or Jason while they were recording, and if they played something other than what he wrote he would tell them "hey, I didn't write that note for you!" That's how much of a control freak he was back then.
please get the drum track for this song! i want download it as mp3 so i can put it into a program and put my guitars over it

Really not my style. All I hear is CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP, with only a mild tonal aftertaste.
Now, Cliff's style of composition and playing, that was lyric.

I kinda agree there man. Bass sounds so much better when its finger played. Still, this is kinda interesting to listen to.

jsonbass is right, cliff wrote all of his bass lines and only got writing credits for the songs he contributed to, like for whom the bell tolls. btw cliff owns on that song.

Is this really Jason playing or is this another shitty fake "video" without a video?

Jason just follows the guitar for the most part as well so Its very unlikely that he would get any writing credits at all.... You don't even get credits for guitar solos its the main riff and structure as has been said below me

Jason wrote all of his bass lines himself. Writing credits do not include writing a bass line to a song, it only includes the creation of song structure. So when everyone says Jason didn't write his own lines, because he only has two writing credits with Metallica, that's false.

James did write some of them on justice.

From what James and Lars say, they wrote every guitar and bass part note for note. James said he would even stand over Kirk or Jason while they were recording, and if they played something other than what he wrote he would tell them "hey, I didn't write that note for you!" That's how much of a control freak he was back then.
