doesnt matter who plays it live or what they use, jason WROTE these bass lines, and in all honesty they are more intense than cliffs lines, no disrespect to cliff, in terms of sheer speed and attack. Frankly rob hasnt impressed me yet, and ive seen him live 3 times. Yeah robs a great player but he just doesnt contribute the way jason and cliff did.
@avengedman666 Tottaly agree, jason was definitly more metal (fit in more) wish his sound was louder on stage, i wasnt there so i cant judge (even if i was i would forget) cliff was more classical sound (tone) and more technical, like how he would add fills (in the bassline) now rob i havent seen nothing original that its cool besides his solos, but he can play metallica songs the way they should be, so hes cool 2
@bhavnish22 so this is shit cause its played with pick? then u should know that some of the songs from death magnetic is playd with pick also...cyanide is one of them. and this means that rob sucks also just becouse he plays with pick sometimes..this should prove to you that it shouldnt mean nothing if jason plays with pick or not...i play bass with fingers and still im dying to be as good pick bassist as jason...point taken? if not then go fuck yourself
@Grenderstar Uhhh. Right..I think you need to really chill out dude. I was just praising Rob's abilities and not dissing Jason at all. Geeez...I would suggest anger management courses for you bro
@Grenderstar In case you are not well versed with that slang,,,let me enlighten you. When you like something you go 'That shit's dope man'...or 'That shit's crazy dude'...When I said 'shit' I didnt mean that Jason's bass track is shit you moron. Seriously...fucking idiot
how he can play that way without his bass felt appart...and you noobs and haters try to play like this guy! stop comparing...cliff cant play with this feeling,robert ok i have to admit with his pluck technique and speed he play with no problem but still jason is 100% that any of you..you should ashame yourself,arguing in youtube,what a waste of youth!
Personally I believe that Jason Newsted was the best bassist Metallica has had. He had the drive to play bass. Doesn't matter what you use to play bass he still was 100% trash.
@CalebValgardson They each have their specialties. I agree that Cliff was the best skill wise. Jason had the best stage presence out of them all and is a badass backup vocalist. Rob is kind of a mix of the two.
you critizied jason because he plays with pick and not with the fingers but those faggs who critizied just use their fingers to stick them on their assholes!
Okay, tired of the debate. It's whatever the song calls for. Here, I'm gonna re-direct the conversation and make you completely forget the whole argument. Pardon me, metfan41, would you mind uploading some Motley Crue? :P
the way jason plays bass doesn't matters, bass exists to be played no matter what you use to play, it can be your tongue or your foot, what matters is that you are playing it and creating good melodies.
@ArtQuakedoom95x4 you mean to create grooves not melodies. Bass's primary funtion is to create a groove, then you can take another bass and layer a melody over it, but without a groove a bass is nothing...and a groove can be either melodic, rhythmic, or both, which is why it acts like glue for the instrument playing a tune (typically a guitar) and a rhythmic percussive line (drums).
That's stupid!!!... What you are basically saying is that bass exists to be played no matter how and that's it... That's why bass is so underrated! Nobody cares too much about it...
It just needs to be there even though we can't really hear it... Just like in and justice for all...
Plus... What matters is that you are playing melodies?
Melody, harmony and counterpoint and bass are different musical concepts my friend... Read a book!
@blindchild6 bass is underrated for some reasons, 1st of all, the focus of media is vocals and guitars, always was, the 2nd point is related to the 1st point, if the focus is on the guitars, everyone wants to play guitar instead of other instruments.
with melodies i mean songs, is that hard to understand?
@ArtQuakedoom95x4 Hey my friends keep telling i should learn the slaps on the bass but i said no then they said... wow then you can't play bass i'm like WTF?!?! i said fuck off to them.
you know you guys really bug me with all this talk about great bass players cause i always see one of the best ones left off, the guy that would have and sort of did surpass cliff and thats roger paterson of atheist he even died simaler to cliff and used all 4 fingers and made it look easy as fuck if you dont know about him look him up on here he died right after they started working on their second album in 91
@jonBENDER1 Tons of bass players surpassed Cliff. He died young so he's overrated. There are plenty bassists better then him and I think Jason was best for Metallica. He used a pick which is more aggressive and faster, that fits Metallica better IMO
@JollyJollyJoseph i agree on him being faster,dyers eve is there fastest song i think to date next to damaged inc and they needed jason for that and justice is my favorite album of theirs but nothing is that fast from black album on so i dont think you can justify them needing him for the later albums but i can say that had he been able to write more they wouldent have got so weak so fast
@jonBENDER1 Well yeah the black album is different when it comes to needing him for speed but, it's more then that. I'm just sayin' that in my opinion Jason's style fits Metallica best.
@jonBENDER1 Damage inc is very fast but I would say that fight fire with fire is faster than damage inc and possibly dyers eve but i'm not 100% sure. all i know is that fight fire with fire is fucking fast lol
@JollyJollyJoseph surpassed maybe ..but no one is as influential to the instrument...cliff is actually underated,he got more kids playing bass than anybody,except maybe steve harris..he was24, composing great shit that people still regaurd as pure greatness...and so you know its not better then.... its better than....cliff looms over metallica so much that everyone else who comes in knows their in 2nd place in the fans hearts...losing cliff still affects metallicas music,in a bad way...
get off your high horse about fingers vs. pick. if you are a true music afficionado you will recognize and accept the existence and concept of different styles and the coexistence of talent.
I dont get why people hate when others are using a pick insteead of their fingers...I mean wats wrong with using a pick? if you like their music it means you like it, and it means you dont give a crap what they are using to play!
steve goes through a track 10,20 times to right a bass riff very percise so when hes playing live off the top of his head he cant pull it off anyone can sound good on a recording cause you dont know how many time it took to get it right its called clip tracking i know ive seen all them play except for cliff
cliff was the best bass player of all time!!!!!jason made the live shows with his stage and vocal presence robs good but he lacks in tone for such a seasoned player and steve is one of my favoret bass players but live his solos are shit hes the kind of bass player that sits and goes through a track 10,20 times to get it right
@rocafella142 uh ya duh thats why i said it in the comment after,you know the one that was above this one ive seen him with ozzy 3 time suicidal 2 and once supposedly my friend claims at a house party up in santa monica in Infectious Grooves but i dont recall it but the party was sick
@jonBENDER1 When i typed that I was being sarastic -.- Rob doesn't lack in tone. He gives Metallica a full sound. Maybe he did with Ozzy and I'm sure his gear had stuff to do with it, but with Metallica no way in hell.
@rocafella142 i dont know what it is man i would never say gear is a factor just sounds like a bad excuse to me its the musician that makes it work and his rerecordings of ozzy are awfull i love suicidal with him thou
@jonBENDER1 suicidal tendencies he was good. and when you hear him live in metallica he sounds excellent. I heard him play Orion and I was blown away. he gives them a powerful tone. all their songs sound good with him they punch to directly in the chest.
Guys for those who thing that Jason is a better bass player than Cliff it(s your opinion, but for me, Cliff is way better than Jason not only in speed, but also in inovation and of course on stage and musical taste, but Jason is also a killer bass player. But for those who think that Rob is better than them, Guys sincerely, YOUR FOOLS!!!
@TheMETALNROSES It's interesting that you said Cliff beat Jason in terms of speed considering the fact that Cliff often chose to play 8th notes instead of trying to keep up with the guitars playing 16ths or fast triplets. Nothing wrong with that at all and it was most likely a stylistic choice by Cliff, still its interesting that you mentioned speed.
@squall6575 jason is way better than cliff man. cliff is good,sure, but talking that about jason is a sin. just listen to whiplash bass track. its sooooo sloppy. cliff is OVERRATED. using a pick dosnt make a bass player bad
rofl about the jason newstead having chops beyong cliif's. Im not even being a fanboy here its just that jason never produced much worth looking at. never innovative and its easier to play this with a pick. not to mention theres nothing i hear on this im sure cliff couldnt play. plus tallica isnt that technical so theres not much to base this on
@lynchthetrolls34 Actually, I read in an interview that it was due to Lars and James' big ego, they mixed the guitar and drums way too high, drowning out the bass.
Humm... Now, by hearing this bass recording, I understand why Hetfield and Ulrich commited an injustice to Jason while recording this album. The 7" EP "Garage Days Re-revisited" has better bass sound and the following album, "Metallica" (or "Black Album") is the most sucessful Metallica's album to date.
This is my favorite Metallica song.....For some reason I like This one(Dyers Eve) and Fight Fire with Fire more than all their other ones.Even all their singles
first it was cliff and he was in a bus accident and when the bus hit a patch of ice he was thrown from the bed he was sleeping in and he was crushed by the bus. then jason came into picture but they didnt like him because he couldnt control his liquor so the fired him and got robert which is all i know about the history of the bassist of metallica
Jason actually left the band.. Haven't you seen the documentary Some Kind of Monster? It gets explained quite well there. James Hetfield was the one with the Liquor problem.
@pizzaislekker HAHAHA yeah but that way after Dave was kicked out. Dave's problem was that he became violent when he drank. James didn't become so violent but he knew he drank too much so he fixed it
@pizzaislekker yeah he left because he wasnted to play music and he didnt have a wife and kids to take breaks from the band for. i appreciate that about him, not so much his bass playing though lol
@sum41kidwe No Cliff was second Ron was first and the one who was fired because he couldnt control his liquor was Dave, Jason left because of Echobrain
@URIBENFILM So you're saying that Chris Squire, Lemmy and Gene Simmons are pussys? grow up retard and listen to other bands you fuckin Cliff burton fanboy
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, no account needed, no strings attached.
tracklibraryOblogspotOcom (replace "O"s with dots)
@AndersonWave17 no thats NOOB BULLSHIT, claypool is a bum, Larry Graham is the only one that metters in slap bass technique, the best bassist just use fingers, otherwise a pick.
@yovioleatuzorramadre yea i agree, people jump too quickly towards claypool. theres plenty of other amazing bassists.i really like victor wooten for exmple
If Cliff didn't leave us so young, he'd obviously develop and become one of the best metal bassist out there.
Unfortunately he left and the good Metallica pretty much died with him. I mean, he was only 24 when he died and already he wrote masterpieces like Orion and Master of Puppets.
I listen to every Metallica album. I don't listen to Load/ReLoad as much as their older stuff but I do listen to their newer stuff.
For me, the good Metallica is represented by their first 5 albums. I have a diverse music taste so I like Load/ReLoad with songs like Wasting my Hate, King Nothing, Unforgiven 2, Fuel etc but it's evident that Metallica were at their prime during the 80s.
Is this the track they went with in the masters? There are some inconsistencies here and there, but maybe they thought, oh well, the guitars will drown those out just nicely :P
It's really a shame they mixed it like that tho :(
doesnt matter who plays it live or what they use, jason WROTE these bass lines, and in all honesty they are more intense than cliffs lines, no disrespect to cliff, in terms of sheer speed and attack. Frankly rob hasnt impressed me yet, and ive seen him live 3 times. Yeah robs a great player but he just doesnt contribute the way jason and cliff did.

You should play this in time with the original recording, if you get it in sync the verses sound so fucking heavy with this added in this mix :)

Jason actually left the band.. Haven't you seen the documentary Some Kind of Monster? It gets explained quite well there. James Hetfield was the one with the Liquor problem.
pizzaislekker 10 months ago 8
@pizzaislekker HAHAHA yeah but that way after Dave was kicked out. Dave's problem was that he became violent when he drank. James didn't become so violent but he knew he drank too much so he fixed it
krollaostmedburger 10 months ago
@pizzaislekker yeah he left because he wasnted to play music and he didnt have a wife and kids to take breaks from the band for. i appreciate that about him, not so much his bass playing though lol

@CheesyRhino Ah, yes. That's the one. Well, RIP Cliff Burton. He was a hell of a lot better than the their newest bassist.

@yovioleatuzorramadre maybe but you gotta admit, anyone who can play Slap Bass is a BEAST! (i.e. Master of Puppets - Primus Bass solo)

@AndersonWave17 no thats NOOB BULLSHIT, claypool is a bum, Larry Graham is the only one that metters in slap bass technique, the best bassist just use fingers, otherwise a pick.

@yovioleatuzorramadre yea i agree, people jump too quickly towards claypool. theres plenty of other amazing bassists.i really like victor wooten for exmple

If Cliff didn't leave us so young, he'd obviously develop and become one of the best metal bassist out there.
Unfortunately he left and the good Metallica pretty much died with him. I mean, he was only 24 when he died and already he wrote masterpieces like Orion and Master of Puppets.

@dbzsony you obviously stopped listening to metallicas newer albums without cliff
Bishiup 1 year ago
@Bishiup
No.
I listen to every Metallica album. I don't listen to Load/ReLoad as much as their older stuff but I do listen to their newer stuff.
For me, the good Metallica is represented by their first 5 albums. I have a diverse music taste so I like Load/ReLoad with songs like Wasting my Hate, King Nothing, Unforgiven 2, Fuel etc but it's evident that Metallica were at their prime during the 80s.

Jason plays with a pick cliff doesnt cliff is way better its easier to play faster with a pick then with your fingers
phg657 1 year ago
Is this the track they went with in the masters? There are some inconsistencies here and there, but maybe they thought, oh well, the guitars will drown those out just nicely :P
It's really a shame they mixed it like that tho :(
