Metallica - Sanitarium (1986 w/ Cliff Burton)

[26cincy]

Whats it madder they are stiil one of the greatest bands of all time..... Love seein them rockin in the 80's

[Ackotoctoc]

So was this the last gig with Cliff?

[spiralmc]

well the reason they cut their hair is that they are going bald...the guys are hitting 50...and their music would sound much different if Cliff were alive...cliff taught them alot of their arrangements and made their song much more complex..not only that mustaine had alot to do with that as well......and hetfield is not the main engine of the band...it lars ulrich AND hetfield....actually more ulrich...

[ItsAllAboutGuitar]

@spiralmc They cut their hair well before they went bald. These guys aren't about image, they're about music.

[ChildOfTheKoRn90]

you filmed this with your OWN camera??! OMG I LOVE YOU <3 xDD

[thedopefiend666]

R.I.P. Cliff!

[Appleelias]

R.I.P. Cliff

Your MetallicA fan's!

[mjjfan1104]

Listen I won't pretend that I know a thing about metal music or Metallica, but what I do know...Once you are no longer "underground" and you get signed by a BIG record company...YOU EITHER PLAY THE GAME OR YOU STAY UNDERGROUND...The money, the fame, the pussy....WHATEVER!!!! Sometimes musicians sell their souls and do what they are told....Many say Metallica sold out...There is GREAT music out there that NEVER gets heard...I'm sure these bands are reminded of that by the record companies...

[TheWormso]

Cliff, Cliff Why you Must Dead? :( R.I.P

[nacionalistaism]

Metallica with Kliff Byrton!Great!R.I.P. Cliff-R.I.P. Metallica!After 96 year oll it`s bulschit!

[TheWormso]

[nacionalistaism]

@nacionalistaism Sorry,butt i`m from Bulgaria,and i don`t understand so gud englisch!

[FlareStorm10]

If time-machines will ever exist... I know where I'm going...

[MrOr1on]

аж мурашки. цепляет очень

[MetallicAheadforever]

thank you cliff for your amazing music, like always. we all miss you..

[TheMachineFUCKinHead]

0:08 Put down ur fist asshole, i wanna see James!

[atimor]

i dont really listen to metallica anymore but this song just kicks ass everytime i listen to it 

[Strngs012]

Why does everyone post shit saying Cliff wouldn't stand for this or Cliff wouldn't have done that. Did any of you know Cliff or what he actually was thinking? I bet you didn't. I know it's fun to speculate on how things might have been, but unless you you were actually a member of Metallica you have no idea what the inner workings of the band was like back in the day.

[Autopsium]

@Strngs012

Congrats my friend... that was exactly what I was trying to tell but those spokesmen really piss me off as they bash Metallica while they try to honor Cliff. as if they were a member of the band... =)

This somehow seems so "trendy" to me...

[blechke]

cliff never would of stood for the direction metallica went in no fucking way i don't believe it.

[crud2345]

WOW! james definitely sounds different in the beginning!

[Scottliveson2]

This isn't even live, prerecorded worthless noise. terrible cliff terrible.

[MrGrimm001]

@Scottliveson2 How is this prerecorded??????

stop being an ignorant douchebag

[TheMarkster1957]

@Scottliveson2 It would sound alot better had it been recorded with the proper equipment instead of just a camcorder from somebody in the audience.

[Scottliveson2]

@TheMarkster1957 your right it would sounded better

[Tw0stepsbehind]

I love Cliff Burton's headbang.

[TomyyY90]

maybe they would be at the same place, maybe not. i agree that mainly james is the engine, the power of metallica, but don't let us forget that cliff delivered such epic melodies in Kill'em All and Ride - his musical education just made those songs special imo!

they still do a great job, but I personally think, with Cliff there would be more parts on nowadays records like we love in master, ride, kill'em all. they do a great job but with Cliff they'd be more like in old days

[biggie930]

cliff woulda never cut his hair off like they did

[Ishykawa]

@biggie930 You would say that about any other member if they died.

[biggie930]

@Ishykawa no i wouldnt cliff is the only one in metallica i like everyone els i cant stand

[Autopsium]

@biggie930

You can't know.

He is a past time member.

Would you also say or imagine the same for the rest of those guys if we were back in 1986?

No.

Everything changes.

I got used to Metallica's skin-change from years to years and as I get older I understand them better not means of musicality, 'cuz I listen to more progressive and brutal things now but in means of mentality and life experience. It's sometimes hard to keep a specific spirit when the surrounding conditions change.

[pingu02]

@biggie930

look, if someone is in the balding process ( like most middle age men are) then his hair doesn't look decent, it looks disproportional and has no form.

beside that, you don't have to have long hair to be a great musician.

[CaptainAustus]

@biggie930 he could, but the first head bang would be so hard, his hair would come out of his head again.

[brknspacebar]

@biggie930 lars would look funny in a skullet

[bughead3]

@biggie930 As soon as his hair began to thin like the rest of them, he would have cut it to. The whole hair cutting thing is silly.

[Ryzomsuechtel]

another Cliff Burton is waiting on this sh...Planet for this job,no matter:)

[chernyx]

Woah, camera phone in 1986

[F3lipetrucci]

that scream at the beginning makes me a heart attack i'm WITH HEADPHONES! D:

[clffburton86]

fuck 'em

[MosquitoKillerV4]

this is a piece of history right here !

[Autopsium]

Many of the people listening to Metallica cannot imagine what kind of a band would be there with Cliff alive today.

They would be at the same place where they are today, guys. OK, Cliff is not a more metal-head than any of those guys. He was a pure rocker he would do Load and Reload and others, too. He was a talented bass guitarist and the band would head to the same direction if he were alive.

So stop making this comparison.

James Hetfield is the main engine of this band for its philosophy.

[counternub]

@Autopsium dont forget lars, lars and james started the band ;)

[Thrashmaster0100]

@counternub Metallica died with Cliff Burton. Cliffs death fucked with their heads and it ruined them.

[BRAINWASHED79]

@counternub yes if it wasn't for lars in the early days metallica wouldn't of went nowhere...lars was the one out there promoting them getting them the gigs..gettin the demos out making the posters...james says that himself in a documentary...i think it was the get thrashed one

[23Fists]

@Autopsium Ok, and Cliff died because he was in Hetfield's Bunk. Imagin if James died in stead; there WOUDLD be a difference. Because Cliff won the rock, paper, scissors debate, he slept in the top (James') bunk on the tour bus. I'm not trying to play the What If game, but Metallica, depending on who they brought on to replace James, could have gone a different direction.

[Autopsium]

@23Fists

Sure, I was trying to say that with all my respect for a former musician who lost his life, I don't understand why some people hold Cliff over all of them just because he is dead.

Yes Cliff was involved with the most precious works of Metallica but those brilliant guitar riffs of Master of Puppets let's say, were written with cooperation of James & Kirk. He was a good bass player and that was it. OTOH, James has "mainly" shaped Metallica into what it is today.

RIP Cliff.

[jw5y66]

@23Fists

Uh Cliff slept in Kirk's bunk that night dude.

Do some research before you make such statements.

[23Fists]

@jw5y66 James had called the top bunk on the driver's side, not Kirk, and Cliff had supposedly called it the same time that James did, so that started the rock paper scissors match witch Cliff won. I DID my research man. Wiki is wrong, so don't rely on that; use instead the band's words in their documentary where they talk about that night.

[creator907]

@23Fists They talk about a card draw..not rock, paper, scissors..

[LeoOliveAmar]

@Autopsium but i think that metallica could be more agressive, although i like what they are doin today

[Autopsium]

@LeoOliveAmar

Hello...

actually I answered that one according to my point of view down there.

Yes they could be but in time they feed both their wallets and also their hunger for shouting out their ideas. They, especially James Hetfield vomited his anger that he had in the beginning of their career through all those years. Now the sides, James&Metallica vs. life, seem even. Every musician's and person's character evolves differently. Lars is a main fact for them to cut the gas.

[Autopsium]

@Autopsium

Lars, from the beginning, was always a bit more kind of a hard rocker instead of metal head. Like Venom was one of the most influencing bands for James and Deep Purple for Lars if I remember correct. And the drumming style for a band, especially a metal band, really defines the rhythmic intentions and the way they go towards. From AJFA drumming to Load style... Even in DM where did those drum attacks go? Not a single one?? despite good guitar riffs... sums it up a bit...

[MrGabbo97]

@Autopsium To be honest,Cliff wrote the Ride the Lighting and Master of Puppets songs that were not stolen from Dave Mustaine...I love Metallica,and the riffs that Dave wrote in Metallica obviously belong to Metallica.but this is the truth.

[Autopsium]

@MrGabbo97

and... =?

i didn't get what you meant to say =/

I didn't say Cliff isn't talented. Sure he was. but I wanted to express that the remaining band members put in as much as Cliff did so... I just tried to say that holding Cliff in a higher level than the whole band is wrong just because he passed away. and he would "probably" head to the same direction as the other guys did so. By judging the looks back in those days, James looked as heavy as Cliff did.

[MrGabbo97]

@Autopsium James kicked as Cliff but Cliff was the main songwriter.

[Autopsium]

@MrGabbo97

Yes he was. Especially in Ride the Lightning.

...but the spirit was completed with the help of other guys mainly being James.

Anyway... RIP Clifford Lee Burton and thanks for helping to create a legend.

[MrGabbo97]

@Autopsium Yeah James has always been the band's frontman.I'm not saying that Cliff was the only important member,Metallica would never be Metallica without Metallica.

[evaneboy]

@MrGabbo97 Hahahah stop to fight and enjoy the good music 

[MrGabbo97]

@evaneboy Amen.

[cliffburton1987]

@Autopsium cliff whould have never let reload happen lars has said it him self

[Autopsium]

@cliffburton1987

Neither Lars nor the other people can exactly read the future. It's kind of a sentimental shrift in means of paying their tribute to their old friend and band mate.

I don't think if you have asked them back in 1986 they would say "ohh yes we're going to release two albums that will totally disappoint our fans".

As the time flows, everything changes. Maybe with sharp turns or slightly... but it does.

[deniedvalhalla]

@Autopsium wrong.the main influences on cliff were classical,southern/country and progressive music. the progressive part came out in "...and justice for all" which is still heavily made of last cliff's compositions,bass would have a major role in mixing and arrangements.maybe the black album would still be the same,because of the country influences and bob rock's work (maybe he wouldn't even have the same strong role if cliff were still alive). continues..

[deniedvalhalla]

@deniedvalhalla Load?haircut and eyeliner? i don't think he would.maybe the songs would have been slighty more soft and mature,but it could not last.

[rockhammer666]

@Autopsium take the first albums-take the booklet-look who wrote the god damn songs!....and now stay in your oppinion....cliff was maybe just one part of metallica...but just 100% metallica are Fucking METALLICA....rip metallica since 1986

[Autopsium]

@rockhammer666

I have already memorized all those info and known it for 18 years now. So I don't care what anybody else thinks about this. Opinions are opinions.

Cliff makes sense to me but as much as the other members of Metallica... not less not more. If there weren't other members of Metallica who kept going with this we wouldn't be enjoying "Cliff" era or wouldn't be able to listen to Master of Puppets live so many times, too...

anyways... thanx for sharing your opinion...

[Kiporamus]

@Autopsium I disagree. Burton was probably the biggest influence to what Metallica became out of the 4. He was the one that introduced the guys to jazz and classical. I don't think they would have done Load or ReLoad had he not died.

[Autopsium]

@Kiporamus

Cliff drew the main line and James & Lars being the first ones to shape it what it became today.

James Hetfield is a good song composer and lyrics writer. I'm not talking about pure influence, I'm talking about the main engine that kept Metallica going through all those years. It's really insulting to say Metallica are nothing without Cliff. I'm not talking to you particularly I'm talking about the reason that makes me write that comment.

[Kiporamus]

@Autopsium

I never said anything bad about James Hetfield or that Metallica are nothing without Cliff. Fair enough, you weren't talking to me particularly but still. ...And Justice For All and Metallica are both as good as their first three albums in my opinion and they were done without Cliff. I also think Death Magnetic is great. But I mean have you heard Lulu?.. Maybe Cliff would have stood for it, we'll never know, but i don't think he would have.

[Autopsium]

@Kiporamus

Probably... My point was that... He would have or not. We can't be 100% sure about this. Anyway... I was always standing against comparisons like Metallica vs Megadeth or "w or w/o Cliff"... I didn't think my top comment would have that much reaction... :)

Anyway... thanx to Cliff for his great contribution & efforts and let's say RIP Cliff & Long Live Metallica...

[Kiporamus]

@Autopsium Agreed

[spiralmc]

@Autopsium WRONG!!!!...u know what .....yah...cliff prolly would've gone along with load and reload..but quit just like newsted did at the exact same time....metallica started losing their balls in those sessions...rick rubin tried hard to bring it back to the old days....but hetfield can't write lyrics anymore or sing...

[Autopsium]

@spiralmc

I don't think it is because that Hetfield "can't" write lyrics... he can... but the MOP-era passion has gone a long time ago. As in the previous comment of yours, they are around ages of 50's... don't expect them to be in the same shape as they were back in 80's...

about being the main engine I meant the energy on the stage... up to Napster things Lars wasn't that much involved with both press & business side of Metallica.

[santiagolmateos]

@Autopsium How can you possibly know that?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! You should listen some Hetfields intervies talking about Cliffs influence on himself and on Metallica. Although is also true that Hetfield is the main engine of Metallica as we know it today, prof of that is that Lars and himself are the only original band members who ve been there since the beginning.

[cliffburton1987]

i wonder what whould have happend if cliff was still alive

[NightSurfer777]

i think the reason why 45 people thumbs down this is cause of the sound but i would only give it thumbs down cause who ever was filming didnt show enough of cliff but i gave this thumbs up cause this song is the fucken sweet and my moms favorite

[ThePhacid]

i dont understand 45 fucking peple pressing the dislke shitty button when they listenng to this,  just dont get it...

[fishermangonewild]

Im fucking baked

[Cockpuncher1000]

@fishermangonewild Haaaaaaaaaaaa welcome in ghe club

[bunkenskirts]

This video is what metallica was all about back then!! Raw,no bullshit,uncommercial, balls out metal.Sadly once cliff passed the direction changed.

[WikiHeba96]

fucking beautiful \m/

[WikiHeba96]

<3 \m/ !

[Welshbassist17]

i love you cliff. you told me how to play bass!

[p0w3r96]

I was there !

[V4FF4NCUL0]

@p0w3r96

Where did that concert take place?

[p0w3r96]

@V4FF4NCUL0 xaxa

[wdowa94]

Live sound of james guitar was so shitty...

[ThePhallystorm]

THis is when METALLICA was a well Oiled Machine. Back then Metallica had their most unfriendliest airwave songs ever.It wasn't until 1991 with their Black Album that made them Famous(Bob ROCK) and what some say Sold Them Out. Long verses,, heavy tracked dual Guitars, and Great lryics separated them from other poser Bands. Well, just ask Dave Mustaine. James, Cliff, and Kirk were on the money along with Lars they had the METAL World by the Balls(Literally!) Leave ME THE FUCK ALONE FUCKKERS

[Welshbassist17]

@ThePhallystorm METALLICA WENT TO GIGS TO PLAY THEIR FASTEST, HARDEST AND HEAVIEST!!!! FUCK POSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bassman9611]

ahhh 240p, we meet again

[SoundOfSorrowSOS]

@bassman9611 Its 1986 what do you expect? HD?

[diegoambrosio]

Time, I hate you. You've been cruel to this band.

Heartfelt thanks to the person who filmed this.

[jensenthejman]

It seems like when the band had all of the original members, that they were really happy with what they did. Now it seems they keep going just for the sake of doing it. I know the rest of the band have never fully gotten over Cliff's death, but still... that's just my take on it.

[S0ulsk1ll3r]

45 are fags

[LUXXXable]

SATANARIUM.

[blitzrieg86]

casi me da un infarto el grito al comienzo del video xS

[Sebaaaaast]

@blitzrieg86 Eso mismo quería decir, jaja.

[TWOMERCY]

They were SO MUCH better live back than. It's fucking beautiful, lol. I feel like crying that this no longer exists.

[mrmonster125]

@TWOMERCY me to man cliff is the best metallica had

[TWOMERCY]

@mrmonster125 Yeah, it's really sad. Cliff was the heart and soul of the band and was and still is the epitome of the classic trash metal Metallica. 

[mrmonster125]

@TWOMERCY hay i miss cliff yah i wish he was still alive so he could play liek no other bass player

[TWOMERCY]

@mrmonster125 Not only that, Metallica would have most likely have gone on to make masterpieces on par with the Burton ones.

[mrmonster125]

@TWOMERCY you are right thanks partenerr now lets just attack justin bieber and thanks cliff for all hes done and hay rip cliff

i hate justin bieber can go to hell .

for those who love metalllica and cliff thank youa ll and TWO MERCY THANK YOU TO FOR SUPPORTING THE SUBJECT

[Bassist991]

the crowd holding hands ... that's just gay man.

[MySeasideRendezvous]

James is sooo HOT here!! omg!

[SlipknotPaul1237]

R.I.P. Cliff Burton

[wizardofkoz20]

cliff must be confused now that james is a table. RIP CLIFF!

[Sebaaaaast]

That scream at the beginning of the video almost got me a heart attack... !

[alfrod6]

@Sebaaaaast almost?? man u got a good heart

[crusifficadus]

@Sebaaaaast hell yeah!!!

[NightSurfer777]

@Sebaaaaast sorry to laugh but i had to i totally needed somethin to make me laugh and what you wrote did thanks alot

[travianroiboy]

@Sebaaaaast jjaj

[22bryant]

check out el atico,its a salvadoran band

[FerociousDrummer]

Cliff Burton..... R.I.P.... you were the reason I started playing bass.. and the reason I started writing music.. Every song I write is in hopes that'll some where you'll hear it.. and realize that you were the heart of Metallica.. the heart of Music.. I hope one day I can match your skill and musical prowess.. as you always said "Bach was the god of bass." \m/ (-.-) \m/ fucking love bach as well as MetallicA

[MrRiky12]

Cliff would not have let ymetallica do many stupid things (load, reload, st.anger, lulu)

[TheFillyPhan]

If we can't have Cliff, I am happy we got Robert Trujillo

[FerociousDrummer]

Rob is good but is NOTHING compared to Cliff Burton... Cliff Burton was a Genius and to this day remains my SOLE inspiration for my music writing.. if I could understand only a fraction of what went on in that man's head.. only then would I be able to master the art of bassery.. RIP CLIFF!!!!

[TheFillyPhan]

@FerociousDrummer yea, no doubt, RIP Cliff

[momentofsciencetx]

The Metallica sound died with Cliff Burton.

[bumdunker1]

@momentofsciencetx no no no death is eventual for everyone and everyone left in its wake has to deal. and metallica deal t with it well have you heard and justice for all....... sarcasm is implied...

[TheTwisterchick]

How can you head bang and play at the same time? The answer is Cliff Burton!

[pedrohsilva99]

the best version ever!(after the studio version)

Why here in Brazil we don't got music like this?

here we got crap like pagode,axe,sertanejo and other shits...

[BannedForBeingNormal]

@pedrohsilva99 dude ,you have (or had- everyone have his own opinion) SEPULTURA!!!

[cerisida]

So fucking Amazing !!

[zaproud]

Watching Metallica in 240p is better than watching Justin bieber in 1080p HD ! !

[numberonemisfitsfan]

Epic misfits shirt.

[5thhokage113]

45 people are more boring than the queens cunt

[NorthcountyD]

When Metallica was still good. Lars played fairly well back then. Too bad he has let his chops get so bad in recent years. The band as a whole really suffers for it. Cliff was definitely great! Robert has been a great addition, he has way more mojo than Jason.

[Gothika222]

RIP Clifff.....

[etwan001]

Good job dude! I'm sure you're idiot-friends will be very impressed! You moron!

[soothslayer21]

@IsItOnTab You must be fuckin' suicidal to say that on a vid like this, you HAVE to have a fuckin' death wish, or else YOU should live in a fucking SANITARIUM!

[aaramon1]

@soothslayer21  I say we hunt that motherfucker down..

[IsItOnTab]

@soothslayer21 wooowww ur funny SIKE u prob got AIDS like Cliff fuck that faggot i laughed when we pissed on his burning body

[soothslayer21]

@IsItOnTab What the fuck is your problem dude? I understand if you don't like someone's playing, but why deface his memory. Especially in the presence of people who revere him as an amazing bassist? I mean... what's the point?

[IsItOnTab]

@soothslayer21 causee cliff burton is a faggggggggggggggggotttt died from AIDS fuck him buurrnnn buurnn buurnnn

[tanguay19951]

@IsItOnTab dude your lucky i dont know where you live cause i would go knock on your door with a 12 gauge shot gun and blow your fucking head off.Your only mad cause you know hes the best

[BlackMorningSunrise]

@tanguay19951 You have issues if you really mean what you post.

[BlackMorningSunrise]

@tanguay19951 Sorry this was meant for @IsItOnTab

[CaptainAustus]

@IsItOnTab dont be stupid. If you go around telling everyone you got VD, no man will want to sleep with you. Not to comment about women.

[BlackMorningSunrise]

@IsItOnTab You have issues if you really mean that.

[numbers9to0]

What happend to metallica? Orion, Sanitarium, many other songs are genius! But everything after "and justice for all" is shit!

[CaptainAustus]

700k views on a 240p video with a bad quality. I guess epicness is unstoppable
