  • @Aidos8158 its very unfair to compare robert to victor. Talent wise yes victor is better but their styles are way to different.

  • They're all shite! I'd like to see em tackle Victor Wooten. They'd get raped

  • Jason was only good on back vocals...

  • For my,the best :

    Cliff Burton Forever !!!

  • trujillo is new but he´s so fucking god and he has history he's not so young ,he has worked on suicidal tendences and ozzy, his sound is perfect,for me the best, then cliff and the last jason, but metallica's bass is the best

  • Cliff And Trujillo wins :33

  • comparacion tan cula logico gana cliff hpta man para ser severo bajista /,,/, robert me lo mama al lado de cliff

  • Cliff se la mata a todos

  • Cliff can't play because he's dead....sorry but true....Jason is a picker........Robert is the real deal and talented as fuck.

  • Robert of course...

  • Very bad...

  • Cliff Burtonnnnn

  • As loyal as I am, still trujillo all the way

  • rob is better ,now thats the end u griping ladies.go hump your pillows,fart and smell it u might get some extra cells in your head.

  • CLIFF is god, Truillo is some kind of Cliff, and Newsted is great back-vocalist and good studio player with energy.... Everyone is good, but Cliff is God and Legend!

  • The first 2 video were poor audio and video quality so not too fair. Lol. However, I was listening to this band before most of you were even born and I can honestly say all 3 are kick ass bass players. None of them should be compared because they all have their own style. Cliff was part of the inception but Jason's been with them almost as long as Metallica's been a band. Robert is a phenomenon....but it's just not Metallica without Jason. They sound great with Robert, but its a different band.

  • gorillo!

  • CLIFF

  • It comes down between Cliff and Trujillo and take into account that you're comparing a artist to a matured. Trujillo is more bassy while Cliff's playing is usually mistaken for guitar, either way they are both great.

    Jason Newstead was never adored like Cliff and Trujillo.. For good reason.

  • robert trujillo is hands down the best.

  • rob makes the most epic faces while playing x)

  • i think cliff is the best. But rob has more succes... He played with Ozzy Metallica and zack wylde :D

  • CLIFF TO ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKIN HATERS!

  • anybody who heard Rob playing with Suicidal Tendencies or Infectious Grooves knows what a skilled player he is. Jason would probably be first to admit he was not as proficient as either Rob or Cliff.

    For me - the winner is Cliff, the most original and creative of the three and bearing in mind Rob has had 25 years more to develop - think how good Cliff would be now given a change in circumstances.

  • 1 Cliff

    2 Jason

    3 Rob

  • @byttner97 Rob is a much better bass player imo.

  • And the winer Is CLIFF BURTON!!!!

  • why compare these 3 fine bass players!? they are all part of Metallica and if you are a little bit of a Metallica fan you should be able to appreciate and love them all 3 :D

  • Robert is the most technical player out of these gentlemen.

    Jason got the most passion and soul for this work.

    Cliff is the reason why bobbleheads exist, even nonliving objects headbanging with Cliff.

  • Why pick a deliberately bad recording of Jason when there are so many good ones?

  • 3 AMAZING BASS PLAYERS!!!

  • of course s cliff, Cliff, CLIFF!!!!

  • Rob is easily the best. Jason is the worst.

  • the problem i have with this argument every time is that people forget that Cliff didnt always play like he does in that solo - a lot of his stuff is a lot more 'standard' and his fame has been built on this 1 video clip ... all 3 of these guys have a unique style that's no better than the other really, except there's no videos of the other 2 playing really fast on high notes

  • i think rob has to be the best. simply because he makes his bass sound like a bass. were as cliffs bass is more distorted, and jason's more of a technique time keeper but all 3 r still great bass players.

  • I would love to see what Jason could have done when he joined the band... if it wasn't cuz of Hetfield & Co. keeping him down for so many years might had been given a new image on him! ^^

    1: Cliff

    2: I find Rob a bit better on the bass, but i do miss Jason on 2.vocals so they're gonna share 2.! ^^

  • love robs face expressions

    

  • Etant bassiste je pense plutot que c'est

    1 Robert

    2 Cliff

    3 Jason

    Parce que Cliff est un très très très bon joueur mais sa Basse à un son de guitare alors que Robert est aussi un très très bon Bassiste et sa basse a un très bon son de basse. Donc voilà =) C'est juste mon opinion ;)

  • cliff da best

    

  • the grimaces of robert trujillo are very funny

  • rob is way better than newsted, newsted have only good technique with pick and everyone like him 'cause he was good screamer ;D But if you listen (ajfa to garage)- he play the same part that hetfield, nothing special, and listen trujillo on death magnetic... By the way, Lars said that their new album would be next black album , and it will be released in 2013 ;P BLA BLA BLA ;D Sorry about my english xD

  • cliff burton and robert trujillo 1st

    jason newsted 50th

  • 1: Mr. Cliff Burton because he was/is the bass god and a fucking machine R.I.P

    2: Mr. Rob Trujillo. he is fucking awesome and a beast.

    3: Mr. Jason Newsted. He is good but didn't show full potential and had killer backing vocals

  • 1.Cliff Burton-since he wrote the song.

    2.Robert Trujillo-sounds funky but you get the the point.

    3.Me- because intense

  • Too bad people are fucking deaf.. If you would listen what Trujillo have done in 90s he smokes Jason, Trujillo is best musician and member from Metallica, Cliff's too, Jason had great energy spirit, but he's bass playing were out of tune in live concerts, it always bothered me, it didn't sound correct, Trujillo is pro at bass, if Metallica would let show him what he can do, oh god man.. He would show his freaking amazing fast bass solo. Don't hate him cause he's new..

  • @jonazz48 You are right Jason wasnt the best but sorry to say but Cliff is the best

  • @Pwnuinwow I agree, but I'm talking about the now member of Metallica, and Rob seems to be most talented, Lars least talented member of band, Even tho i luv that guy.

  • @jonazz48 he's not new he's been in the band for nearly 10 years :/

  • all shit

  • can you imagine how awesome would be cliff if he was still alive????

  • Cliff is what made it possible for a lot of us classically trained bassist (I'm a cellist turned bassist) to bring it to the metal arena. Jason Newsted is what made us hang our heads! Robert Trujillo is a breath of fresh air after the Newsted years! I was born in the same hospital (Battle Creek, Michigan, Community Hospital) as Jason Newsted and have met him a few times. He is a dickhead and not a very good bassist. I am very surprised that Metallica gave him the job.

  • i hate rob,for me he is not for metallica with that crab-monkey-tarantula mumbojumbo...

  • @wrektalica ehu??

    are u Dumb?

  • 1-Jason Newsted

    2-Cliff Burton

    3-Robert Trujillo

  • @ghotsmanMX :areyoufuckingkiddinkme:

  • @edddiego Si le molesta mi opinion jodase que para mi  Newsted es Mejor bajista de los tres.

  • Robert Trujillo has much better tone and keeps the groove and stays in the pocket in his solo as a bass player should. He's got my vote even though all 3 are great in their own respects.

  • @im2tall1972 Amen, brother. I think Cliff is better, but Robert smokes Jason, so question about it.

  • Cliff burton, Robert Trujillo, Jason Newsted

  • Robert Trujillo,Cliff Burton,Jason Newsted

  • trujillo is a fucking bitch

    it goes like this

  • Trujillo

  • cliff burton god of bass \m/

  • 1st Cliff burton

    2nd Robert Trujillo

    3rd Jason newsted

    4th Ron mcgoovney

  • I don't like Cliff's solos. They sounds like electric guitar, not bass.

  • @mlody969 No it sound like bass, he just use a wah wah to get more sounds.

    like electric guitar.

  • Trujilo got charisma and a brand (as monkey) that does a concert, if he is special.

    Cliff had the technique, the style and the talent. That fits for good music, but doesn't always (in some cases it does) make the special concert.

    I really dont know much about newsted...

  • Trujillo is probably no the best but he is making more money than all of us who talk shit about him so we are the loosers not him

  • @Gstudio34 Rob is good actually. His solos have a very wicked sound, but replacing Cliff is impossible.

  • Trujillo's face reminds me of Tor Johnson... With hair.  And a bass guitar. And no plans from outer space.

  • With all due respect for Cliff, I believe Jason Newsted was the best bassist for Metallica. His backing vocals are kickass, while he maintains a solid bass rhythm, and headbangs like a boss.

    If I would have to rank them, it would be:

    1. Jason Newsted.

    2. Cliff Burton.

    3. Robert Trujillo.

  • @Orakk

    You totally said it, man. Cliff was awesome, but it was with Jason that Metallica showed its heavy power, and pure badassness.

  • 1: Cliff was one of the God Of Bass so is obvious.

    2: Jason Was good, Just he did not show what he could do

    3: Robert I do not like how it sounds. For me It's not a good Bassist.

    Sorry for my bad English...

  • Cliff, because he's fuckin' Cliff. The guy made Metallica work. Jason....decent bassist, plays with a pick, no knock on pick playing bassists out there, but fuck off comparing Cliff to Jason. Cliff would make Jason look like an afterthought, plus Jason has killer backing vocals. Robert is Cliff personified but with a funkier grove and method. To me, Robert personifies Cliff in style, but has to contribute musically what Cliff did.

  • Cliff burton

  • Cliff>Jason>Robert

    It's like this...Cliff was so good, God had to call him to heaven to rock with him.

    Metallica dug through the trenches with Cliff. Jason came in after most of the groundwork had been laid. IMHO, Jason most definitely made the right decision when he left the band. Seeing as everything they have done since like 1990 has been complete garbage, I would've left too.

    Load sucked, reload sucked more, St. anger? really? Death fagnetic was barely tolerable.

  • 1 - cliff

    2 - jason

    3 - robert

  • What you can see here clearly is that while Jason was a hired hand, both Cliff and Robert are bassists that really carry the band. Slightly prefer Robert's version over Cliff's but that's because it really shows he is doing his own thing instead of trying to copy Cliff.

    Jason grew out to be much more than a Cliff copy in later years, but unfortunately never got the place he deserved from the band, so good for him that he dared to quit!

  • If I had to choose imo mine would be:

    1: rob

    2: cliff

    3: jason

    But even then there are MANY other bassists better than all three of them.

  • there are a lot of better jason solos... fucking bunches of fanboys

  • @juandiegometallica that even wasn't solo. that was normal song

  • 1. clifford lee burton

    2.jason newsted

    3.roberto agustin miguel santiago samuel trujillo veracruz

  • dont compare god wid humans R.I.P Cliff Burton

  • hay mejores solos de bajo de newsted ;)

  • Stupid versus

  • There are facts, and there are opinions.

    A fact is:

    1º Rob

    2º Jason

    (I didn't put Cliff on this list because we all know that he is the best.)

  • Sorry, but you have to be musically blind to think that Jason is better than Rob.

  • burton the best ofcourse, nothing beats that. ( no fanboy)

    but i think jason fits the band better than rob. sorry but i don't like his idiotic behavior on stage

  • BURTON!!! Trujillo and Newsted

  • If anyone would understand even a bit anything about Metallica. You would understand, that Jason was the best bassist they've had, especially during live performances. Cliff was second, because he was very original on writing bass lines. Rob.. he isnt bad, but he simply plays nowadays what those 2 guys have written.

    ROBERT

    SO FAT ! He have the look !

  • guys remember that jason played the solo in like 1986-1987 or something and rob played it in like 2003+ what if jason played it now ?.. hmm i dont think jason is a bad bass player , like if you see him play the solo in texas the cunning stunts show in 1997:O idontknow guys ,still cliff is the best. its cliffs solo. have a great day.

  • @josem731ftw Well no, Jason is not a bad bass player, but crazy Trujillo gorilla Robert suits Metallica more i think :P

  • all awesome, true story

  • Oh,please....when newsted shoud up you chose the worst sound,i can`t hear nothing,but I and others know that the Newsted is great...Cliff is good bass player,but Newsted is what metallica is,he give all that energy...trujillo is...well he is not for metallica..he style is so fennsy,uhhh horrible..1. Cliff and Newsted,and other doesn`t matter...

  • Okay about these recordings you can not compare them with Cliff Burton, in years Jason grow as bas player, the new one, sorry it's to suicidal tendencies style for the metallica sound. Love trujillo with suicidal tendencies but not with metallica ...

  • trujillo have the best sound and by far. But burton is the best....not a big fan of Newsted

  • clif first

    second jason

    third rob

  • 1st. Cliff Burton

    2nd. Robert Trujillo

    3rd. Jason Newsted

  • Burton is more than 1st.

  • Indian is best.I think bassists from funk-metal are the best,they can play slap,

  • Burton is clearly 1st Trujillo is 2nd an Newsted is 3rd

  • For fucking sure CLIFF IS FIRST, second Jason, Jason was good in 89 and I fucking don't even care about rob! R.I.P CLIFF BURTON

  • Rob Trujillo is too good for metallica :/

  • cliff will always be the best, as far as Metallica is concerned. he just let loose on the instrument. his bass work on Anesthesia, Call of Cthulu (INCREDIBLE) and others are just unmatched. he made it his own and took it to new heights. rob trujillo does a good job of keeping the original parts the way they were, while adding in his own flavor. and jason newsted sucked. he played with a pick and pretty much just doubled the guitar parts but on a bass.

  • i think cliff is a better soloist than james

    

  • @mrconnordavis cliff, bassist and james guitarrist...cant be compared!

  • @johnfudencio i was joking

  • Cliff \m/

    Trujillo _m/

    Newsted ¿?

  • Jason's the best, he's been my idol since i was like 8...

  • And on a side note, cliff burton inspired other artists. He may be dead, but if trujillo dies, then will he be remembered? No, metallica will find a new bassist. Unlike rob, cliff lives through the hearts of his fans, not their wallets.

  • Metallica became commercial because lars let it. Trujillo only supports the mainstream that metallica has become, therefore:

    1. Cliff (those who say no to this are tools)

    2. Jason (sure, he used a pick, but he still some great parts)

    3. Trujillo (cause hes a tool who raped for whom the bell tolls, a song that was made a legend by cliff.) To say trujillo is best is a load of crap that would echo from the mouth of a typical new age metal tool.

  • Rob>Cliff> shitson...sorry Jason

  • Hi Cliff!

  • 1-Rob

    2-cliff

    3-jakson

  • 1.Cliff

    2. Rob

    3.Jason (he play's it very bad. How heplay i can play it two.)

  • ROB>CLIFF>JASON my opinion!

  • Cliff is the originator of that style and it`s obvious Robert plays the way he does because of Cliff.Playing a bass as if it were the lead part in the melody instead of the rhythm was innovative.And Justice For All would have been a better record if you could hear more of Jason`s playing on it.Jason`s the only one I`ve seen live so he`s my favorite.Cliff is a legend,but if I don`t look at it emotionally,I gotta give Robert major props for taking Cliffs style and making it even crunchier.

  • roberto isnt that bad ... he is pretty great imo

  • Cliff = LEGEND!

  • Cliff>Jason>Trujillo

    Why Jason>Trujillo?

    Cuz Jason was all in music,on stage he was the guy who was like:i love my fans and i'm gonna give them all of me,he was all in music

    And leaving metallica to play the music he loves...badass

    Can you imagine yourself,saying:Fuck metallica,i'm gonna play in the band that isn't even well known?i doubt it

    And trujillo?Well just dont get him

    For what reason he jumps all over the place with his monkey like face?

    it makes metallica look like a bunch of clouns

  • 1 CLIFF BURTON

    3 CLIFF BURTON

  • @TheAnticristo50 Nope, Cliff can't be last...

  • Who is the better player does not matter. The best music was made when Burton was in the band. Because of when I really started listening to and watching them, I will always imagine Metallica with Jason in. I kinda lost interest once Rob came into the band. Thus Cliff=Jason>Rob. Sorry wetbacks.

  • Not bad...

  • Los instrumento que llevan la clave son maracas, palos o campana. Los demas instrumentos crean el ritmo o cantan. En esta música el bajo hace mucho ruido y porquería. No canta ni acompaña. Los solo de bajo no son más que alboroto como el de dos cacerolas dando contra la pared. Un Percusionista afina las congas con el bajo. Aveces los tambores de le baterería se alinean también. En los ritmos tropicales, rock, HR. jazz, Metal... el bajo canta con todos los instrumentos en comparsa.

  • @rtorres2 Jajajajaja que pcoa idea tenes pebete

  • le ha salido mejor el intro a jason que el que mostrastr olle porcia pero bueno me quedo con cliff y que jason vuelva a metallica el saco de pelotas

  • Well, Cliff was great, but now he's dead, Jason was good, but now he isn't in Metallica anymore, so, Roberto Agustin Trujillo is the man now, and fuck the haters!!!

    LONG LIFE TO HEAVY METAL

  • who has more horse power???

    maniacs.....

  • 1. Clifford Lee "Cliff" Burton

    2. Cliff Burton

    3. Cliff

  • Trujillo is worthy, oh how he's worthy. Burton was watching Trujillo from within the realm of the beyond and saw that it was all good.

    Let Newsted have his little fun with his little emo fag band, while you're at it, recruit Lars too.

    It's ok, i already have a really cool drummer lined up for Metallica. Mr. Mike Bordin from Faith No More. Metallica will kick ass like they did in the olden days. Let it be so.

  • cliff is overrated, because his death. hes not that good, only play fast pentatonic scale and add some effects.

    jason was good and fits metallica really well.

    Trujillo is a beast.

  • @NicholausBonaredra I think you don't 'feel' his bass. When he played, the sounds went somewhere deep inside so you could feel it. He also was a passionate of music, he knew his shit. He taught other Metallica members how to create 'the harmony of sounds'. Music meant everything to him, he didn't treat it like business, more like art. He hated commercial attitude when it came to music. And if he was alive, things like St. Anger and Lulu wouldn't ever happen. Rock In Peace, Cliff.

  • 1. Cliff Burton
