    R.I.P. Cliff \m/

  • Comment removed

  • Happy 50th Cliff, we miss ya.

  • happy b day cliff !!!!! cliff em all....

  • les claypool rules cliff was good but come on JACK BRUCE is just as great the only people who think cliff is the G.O.A.T. are those who have no Idea what good music sounds like. so go kiss ass to five finger punch you bunch of jerk offs

  • @ultragamer14 #2 i know, thats what i say

  • This. This is how you play bass.

  • You're all wrong. 1. There's no such thing as a "real" Metallica fan. Saying that is obnoxious and retarded. If you enjoy and appreciate their kickass music, you're a real fan. 2. Dave hardly hates the band, if he did, he wouldn't have done the Big 4 tour and gone up on stage with them for the 30th anniversary shows. They grew up, like all of you should.

  • @ultragamer14 Your right. I have an opinion, im quite the immature person for that.

    although i do agree with you about Dave not hating Metallica, they had their problems but its been a looong long time. They're cool now. Besides Dave used be a fall down drunk, alot of people didnt like him back then that do now.

  • in cliff we trust

  • @OhGodNo666 They are all overrated but if someone doesn't know anything about music then their opinion on the subject is far less valid.

  • @Tinfoil93 Hey if you don't want responses then don't leave comments.

  • 2 all fallen comrades R.I.P cliff!

  • 6 people had their teeth pulled from their mouths.

  • absolute magic-ness

    it takes a real genius to create and play a song like this

  • no other living bassist could pull something like this--no dead bassist, either

  • Best bassist who ever lived

  • He played that shit like it was mad at it.

  • it must have been dave ellefson that disliked six times.( kidding, we love you too!)

  • @mycholbel999 David Ellefson would have nothing against Cliff.

  • @Tinfoil93 kirk has nothing against mustaine

    (LARS CLIFF DAVE JAMES)

    the real metallica

  • @MOSHxITxOUT No, your wrong in two ways.

    1: the real metallica was James Cliff Kirk and Lars

    2: the ORIGINAL Metallica was James RON Dave and Lars

  • @AtomicPunk150 what about lloyd frank, doesnt he count?

  • @AtomicPunk150 dudes knows wusup. the founding band mates are not what real tallica fans recognize as the greatest

  • @MOSHxITxOUT get dave outta there. he hatestallica for kicking him out. heez done fine for himselfwith megadeth so get him the eff outa the "real metallica" category

  • greatest solo i ever heard.

  • thumbs up for the massive raping of cliffs bass

  • wow. I got top comment for something completely unoriginal. I feel bad

  • good fukin riff man. i listen 2 this wen ever i blaze a fattie up or wen im mad, really helps me get da mind off the problem at hand. R.I.P. Cliff, wonder if jesus can play bass a great as u now.

  • cliff passed cuz god needed a bassist and cliff was the chosen one

  • 6 people had there teeth pulled

  • I was in High School when Cliff passed.....R.I.P. Cliff!  Your music still inspires.

  • @Zophiel13 I to was in high school when it happened.But for one thing this is a good way to become immortal.

  • The best part is when he plays bass

    R.I.P Cliff

    D:

  • 6 dislikes? Really? I'll guess... one from Jason Newstead because he couldn't fill those shoes and didn't have the talent that Cliff had in his pinkie. two from Jaco Pastorious because he got rerouted to this page twice, once while looking for videos of himself and once while looking for God. one from Sting because he never wrote such a cool bass solo. one from Flea because he accidentally spilled beer on the keyboard while shooting up. and one from Victor Wooten just because he can. wild guess

  • @aceinco Listen to the bass track of the entire Justice album, then say Newsted had no talent. Besides, Rob's their best yet.

  • @ultragamer14 I wish I could listen to the bass on that album but it was intentionally drown out by Hetfields bad ass rhythm tracks and Lars thundering drum tracks. Newstead couldn't hold a candle to Cliff so they used him as background... Trujillo rocked when he was with Infectious Grooves but with Metallica, he's a fish out of water... when you grow a set of pubes, take a few guitar lessons... until then, go suck on your mama's titties some more and keep your idiotic opinions to yourself

  • @aceinco Dude you're being a douche. Just relax and listen.

  • @ultragamer14 besides, it's a moot point now... Justice was their last great album... Hetfield was so pissed about Cliff's death he turned it into one of the greatest album ever... then it was over... once they hired Bob fucking Rock to produce their albums everything went down hill... I wouldn't expect you to know all that, gamer-boy, because you were probably not around when this music was first recorded... I was in high school at the time and it was my entire world... show some respect, punk!

  • @ultragamer14 bud how much pot have you been smoking?

  • @TheRocknstone why do u have to be smoking pot to play bass like that although i can play that solo he's still WAY better than me show some frickin' respect man

  • @napalmpudding you obviously didn't get the comment, I was implying it to you. You really think I don't have any respect for Cliff? He's a musical genius.

  • @TheRocknstone o sorry man i thought u were dissing 4 some reason or suggesting that he smoked pot or somthing sorry

  • @napalmpudding no problem just a simple misunderstanding. Were all friends here right :)

  • @aceinco u forgot the metallica hating mustaine

  • I just hope for Cliff's sake that the bass was 18

  • @METALdude1195 best comment ive ever seen on youtube <3

  • love it

  • who likes girls i do

  • Wouldn't be where I am as a bass player if it wasn't for Cliff!

    Thank You, Cliff!!! Live forever!!!!!!!

  • talk about making love to the Bass, long live the king 02/10/63 - 09/27/63 25 Years ago today he died

    I AM A MASTER TROLL

  • R.I.P. CLIFF...gone but not forgotten :(

  • R.I.P. Cliff burton, 25 years today </3

  • 25 years today - RIP

  • Death the Band, in the Comment

  • the 5/8 3/4 part was directly ripped off from Circumstances by Rush. I dont care though I love both songs.

    80s Metallica, Rush, Death. In that order.

    Dont respond, please.

  • @veryshort7986 I responded.

  • This bass is just...inhuman....

  • Comment removed

  • Cliff is the bass god hail cliff!!!!!

  • Who are the 5 ass heads that disliked this?

  • Now, it pisses me off when people say Cliff is fucking overrated. You pick up a bass and do this motherfucker.

  • @teenmetalfreak3 well man, alot of know nothing assholes who are 14 think he's the hottest shit ever. Hes great dont get me wrong, but people that say hes overrated speak of the cultureless dumbasses that praise him. I frequent several major bass websites, forums, and magazines. Rarely does his name appear. I see alot of Victor W, Marcus Miller, and the ever popular Jaco Pastorius. So yeah, hes a bit overrated to the cultureless assholes who only listen to a few things other than rock.

  • @TheMrProtoss He was only like 24 when he died. Imagine how much more he would have done if he had gone on. It's true though, there are many other bassists who go beyond metal and hard rock that are great, some even better than Cliff. But for what it's worth, I think it's clear that he definitely had natural talen, and would have gone very far, with or without Metallica.

  • @teenmetalfreak3 love those "what if" statements. if the queen had balls, she'd be fucken king. Fact is whos to say he wouldnt of gotten any better with age either? no one knows. So to assume he would of gotten better as he got older is a blunt fallacy.

  • @brandonhornsby Fair enough. It was just my opinion.

  • You can just FEEL the bass coming out!

  • wow

    

  • Cliff is BEAST.

  • hey this has the same lyrics as orion and call of kutlu

  • @DeMoNaNdSeReNiTy  to the top with you good sir

  • My friend wasnt a huge Metallica fan, then i showed him For Whom the bell tolls live in 1985, he cant get enough of Cliff. He now plays bass guitar.

  • bad ass

  • Hi Cliff!

  • if only cliff hadn't died so young... he would have become an icon in his own right, along with being a member of an iconic rock band

  • Cliff's spirit just walked into my room. He asked me to turn this song up.

    *Turns this song up!*

  • woww. amazing

    

  • i think the bass was sore the next day

  • @99sandwhich Dat bass.

  • hes so epic he only needed one take for this solo

  • in the words of James Hetfield "HI CLIFF!"

  • best bassist and always will be. R.I.P Cliff Burton

  • i would do anything to see Cliff Burton. i was born in 1998

  • @99sandwhich yea...

  • Comment removed

  • the god of bass, in heaven's rock band he is with dime, rhodes, dio, bonham, and all the rest \m/ rock in peace

  • I've been listening to that song for over 18 years and my neck still gets sore from headbanging to this \m/

  • It actually wouldn't be a fair trade man, them for Cliff. Cliff was a fuckin beast. (But we won't tell that to god when we make the trade.)

  • 5 guys need an anesthesia...

  • Bass guitar with distortion is SICK!

  • 5 ppl disliked this? what is your major malfunction?

  • I just love the fact that Cliff could play the bass like it was the lead guitar!!

  • so baked. who the fuck DOESNT love this song. jesus. its been like 10 years since i got into metallica and im still blown away every time i hear it.

  • i hope that was sarcasm because the whole song is bass!duh

  • @101Wolffe sweet

  • 5 dislikes. KILL'EM ALL

  • hmm....all on take 1.....

  • This video just made me squirt everywhere

  • shut tfu*+

  • jk

  • BASS SOLO ..TAKE ONE !, THIS IS TAKE ONE!

  • my friend played this for the talent show.

  • In Soviet Russia Cliff Still Owns The Bass

  • :( seriously? the world gives us this, and then takes it away. W.T.F

  • 1:16-1:39 is may favorite part, sounds so bluesy and yet so heavy still. Cliff Burton forever.

  • im gettin real fucking sick and tired of hearing people say that there were better people than cliff. he is the best ever and theres no argument about it

  • these are the BEST lyrics ever

  • Cliff burton didnt die, god just needed bass lessons =D

  • @imjello1 Actually, God needed a bassist-He already has Dimebag & Piggy-the most notorious dual-lead guitar team since Glen & KK, & he has John Bonham on drums. Richard Wright of Pink Floyd is on keyboards, giving God's band a prog-metal feel. They need to tour Earth!!!!

  • @imjello1 wow Im gonna have to steal this great saying!

  • @imjello1 Why would Cliff need to teach himself in death?

  • @Frankthegb Besides the fact its a joke he'd be teaching god....now that thats over with unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful

  • @imjello1 */facepalm* I wasn't trolling, I was adding to the joke, calling Cliff god... Calm down, bro.

  • @Frankthegb I didn't understand it i read it fast, i am calm i don't take youtube seriously =P sorry for misreading

  • @imjello1 I's coo' brah.

  • 422 is 420 too

  • A nice 420 listen, so beautiful while stoned, and all times at that.

  • This song always makes me smile. That's why dentists should play it, so they can get a clear shot for pulling out your teeth.

  • I have every album ever made by metallica. Including

    Garage Inc., and S&M. I tried to resist spending all my money on Metallica CD's, But Metallica is my Master, and i must obey. Sorry, i have to go now. Ktulu is calling me!

  • @theaccushot Gargage Inc and S&M are great albums you really shouldnt feel bad owning the....St Anger on the other hand (shudder)

  • Best vocals ive ever heard, there is no doubt that Rob Halford is the greatest singer of all time. Long live Pantera

  • @DCthrashin wtf wrong song dude lmao

  • @DCthrashin lol wtf are u talkin about hahahaha go brush up on your metallicaology

  • @DCthrashin

    ... wtf man? haha

  • doesnt even sounds like a bass its crazy

  • @tonymlg91 He is playing with a wah pedal and messing with the tone. That is how he gets that sounds, its a idea he snagged from Geezer Butler of Sabbath.

  • @tonymlg91 thats what i said too...

  • Who else is just going to be honest and admit that this song sucks right up until 2:28?

  • @bankaibuddy15 I'LL BE HONEST WHEN I SAY YOU ARE A FAG AND MOST LIKELY LISTEN TO MADONNA

    CLIFF EM' ALL MUTHA FUCKERS

  • @vinmanr2d2 Thanks for the mature answer. Really shows how much you know.

  • @bankaibuddy15 dont worry man i always find myself turning it off at that point too. lars really kills the mood

  • @UnarmedSnowman Oh man, I think you misunderstood. In my opinion, that's where the song gets good!! Cliff just sounds like he's messing around up until that point. Once the drums start in, then he starts to play seriously. In my opinion, anyway. My, what opposites we must be :)

  • @bankaibuddy15 nah dude, the whole song is pretty fuckin epic.

  • Masterpiece.

    

  • This song means the World to me. It was nice to hear it again. I was in rehab when I heard of Cliff's death, and I was so shocked by his passing that I gave up a 6 string and began to play 4 instead. He was so amazing! This man was an idol to all metal heads, and fuck all you pussy Green Day and Justin Fuck his name fans if you don't like us.

    We are metal and we carry on the torch for our idols when we can.

    BTW: R.I.P. Mike Starr. You will be missed.

  • cliff burton rules. vote up if you want metallica to be more popular than that jerkoff bieber vote up

  • cliff burton rules

  • I like orange juice

  • i want to cry i still cant belive hes not around anymore :( this song is awesome it melts awesome into awesome sause. now thats some good bass playin!

  • 5 dislikes, got to be glam band lovers, FUCK OFF!

  • best bass solo ever heard

  • I like it when he starts grooving with the drums. it doesnt sound like hes messing around anymore.

  • I like the part where he plays bass.

  • @MegaViper49

    Cliff's way of playing can't be called just a technique, but a ROAR FULL OF SOUL!!!!

    Have you ever felt how his songs take you places?...

  • This is what a distorted bass with a "touch wah" sounds like. I have to play this song on a regular basis, and if you don't get the sound right, you'd be doing a disservice to Cliff. by the way it's his B-day today. RIP Cliff.

  • Happy birthday Cliff...

  • Some of CLiff Burtons best work... and at the beginning he says

    'bass solos take 1"...HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS ONE TAKE?!?!?!?!?

  • fuck that dude...cliff is the bass god of all time.........god i will trade justin bieber and lady gaga for cliff..........pllllllllease god...its a fair trade...thumbs up to all that agree

  • @unknown1762 this deserves not 12 thumbs up but like 12,000

  • @95McLovin no not 12,000 it needs 20,000

  • @unknown1762 ITS A FAIR TRADE? that would like comparing a piece of shit to a bar of gold

  • @unknown1762 Nooooooo, that's not a fair trade, whaddya tryna do? Cheat god?

  • @unknown1762 That isn't even enough for Cliff.

  • @unknown1762 hell no thats not a far trade Cliff is worth 100X that crap Ill trade every pop star on the planet for just one never released Cliff track

  • @unknown1762

    It's a fair deal, we give God two, and he only gives us one in return.

    We miss you Cliff, you were the greatest bassist who ever lived.
