Cliff Burton Bass Solo with Trauma!

[Ferdirov]

Cliff Burton + Jimi Hendrix = GOD

[Laurelindo]

Cliff Burton knew what being truly badass is all about - he looks 100% relaxed and cool in every video I've seen him in, and he never "tries" to be badass or anything, he's just being himself and is like "yep this is me and if you don't like me then who cares". =D

[sensrok30]

Cliff shoulda did that with Metallica!!!!

[mista405]

@sensrok30 this is the early stages of anesthesia i think

[gamorgan25]

He was so crazy good

[dragonfire5118]

what black magic is this??

[360Freakoutkid]

Serious Geezer vibe going on right here.

[Lukelr]

58 people apparently didn't get orgasms listening to this. WHY did God take Cliff so young? WHY?

[UAiiTaLeNTz]

@Lukelr i would say that him dying so young is proof god doesnt exist or the devil for that matter the devil would never kill him cuz hed take his throne :)

[SomethingforNothingR]

Wonderful.

Thank you very much.

[SomethingforNothingR]

Wonderful. Thank you very much.

[bmdavis13]

Cliff Burton seriously need anymore be said its Cliff

[Andrewoid95]

If someone can tab this, that'd be much appreciated! Would really like to learn this.

[10laughungtears]

@Andrewoid95 Yeah, me too. But I'll try to tab it and put it on ultimate guitar.

[Andrewoid95]

@10laughungtears Dude, if you manage to tab this I will praise you like a God.

Please let me know ASAP when you're done with it! Do it through PM.

[KyNaStyLe]

I liked the video before it begins.

[bassentence]

[LupiWolfman]

This video is an inestimable treasure. Thanks for sharing !

[velonek1990]

[Commandodudes]

0:18 and then James Hetfiled and Lars Ulrich walked in... hahaha

[Andrewoid95]

I would really love it if someone were to tab this bass solo! It looks ridiculously fun to play!

[slayerdeth420]

58 people need there teeth pulled

[EricNaron]

creeping amazing

[CeNNteR]

he looks like Lemmy from motorhead :))

[Mr5stringBob]

Badass! You can totally see how this style morphed into his Metallica style~

[MrSleep1980]

lars: hey, this dudes pretty good at guitar

james: wait a second WTF THATS A BASS!

[guitarguy498]

@MrSleep1980 ohh! ITS FUNNY BEACUSE ITS TRUE! actuallty look it up in wikipedia or something.

[un3rgr0und]

Cliff Burton was the Jimi Hendrix of bass players...there will never be another like him and they both died too young....sad

[6ftUnder92592]

@un3rgr0und heard this from another on youtube but jimmy is the cliff of guitar lol

[AFNYOAQIS]

Holy shit this is bunch of fuckin crap, what kinda freakin shit is this?!!?!?!? just buy a damn guitar!

[kil1Them1all]

@AFNYOAQIS idiot.

[sardhikhaansi]

@AFNYOAQIS I fucked yo mama bitch, Suck on that.

[superzombiehack]

@AFNYOAQIS you fail

[98bigbutt]

RIP-Cliff Burton. The Randy Rhodes of Bass Guitar.

[TrafficMind10]

Holy Shit!! Thanks man for upload this Cliff is the best!!!

[Souran123]

58 people fell out of a bus window in sweden

[protzenegger]

@Souran123 Not cool, dude.

[Souran123]

@protzenegger Lick it.

[piff235]

@Souran123 That's not funny at all.

[trash266001]

@Souran123 Show some fucken respect, dude. That was not funny at all.

[XanaduMyHome]

I look back on this now, and really, I have evolved in terms of interests, and cliff, compared to most, wasn't the greatest bass player, he didn't really play typical bass half the time, but to this day I still can't fucking do this solo, nor can I get his distortion tone, Cliff is still amazing, even if he isn't entirely recognized amongst most

[THEGATHERING20]

If you listen to lemmys bass playing in hawkwind, then listen to this, very similar, you can tell lemmy unfluenced him a lot. RIP Cliff.

[MIDNIGHTCLUB2FAN]

@THEGATHERING20 Cliff plays by its own will and gift, not by some other musicians, this solo was created by him, it as no influence on him, it was created and influenced by CLIFF.

[chrisslipknt444]

@MIDNIGHTCLUB2FAN actually cliff named his influences himself in a interview

[Mcdropazoo]

I kill 58 people

[sihplak]

this was cliff's first band. Not too bad either.

[Airstricke1]

Does anyone know what's the name of the song and where a can get it?

Cliff is the best wish he was still around

Ps. I wish someone killed Justin gayber.

[Darkazar52]

58 people need to die.

[ROCKNROLLmonkey289]

best bass player ever! you can hear the roots of Pulling teeth in here!

[RhythmStrings]

Awesome video. Thanks for uploading it! Cliff is beast!

[Detroitfarm]

Nice Bass solo(seriously), I like it. Never heard anyone play a bass like that before(seriously)!!

[splintercellfan2007]

OH MY GOD, THE POWER!!  I can't stop listening to it! HOLY FUCK!

[DoodYoRiv]

Pure skill.

[palledrons]

"Dude thats a bass...." cliff is most influental and best bass player for me :p

[ErichTheMadBassist]

Damn! I had no idea this existed. Trauma weren't a great band (such a shame!) but then Cliff said they didn't let him do what he wanted, aside from a live solo apparently.

Great find!

[smackythefrog23]

best goddamn motherfucker to ever play a bass in Metal.

[miwer]

Nice stuff!

Were did you get this?

This is amazing!

[WAKINGTHEDEMONBFMV]

58 GAYS DISLIKE IT

[6ftUnder92592]

what if cliff was still alive and metallica still decided to be gay and took dave elefsons place in megadeth since he isnt in there no more, cliff and dave jammin again in megadeth! that wouldve been badass too lol

[ThrashCristh93]

@6ftUnder92592 nah Cliff with Metallica is ok

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@6ftUnder92592

Cliff Burtons style wouldnt match with Megadeths music

Megadeths music just wouldnt be the same with distorted bass, it worfs fine for Metallica but i dont think it would be that good for Megadeth, and Metallica are still a great band even without Cliff, just not nearly as good as they were in the 80s

[trappedunderice24]

cliff burton was a fucking legend and still is! he's an inspiration, RIP.

[doommetal101]

why is it always the good musicians die young. theres ciff burton ,ronnie james dio, dimebag darrell, freddie murcury, john bonham, jimi hendrix, and the list go's on and they all died at young ages. the real people that should die are these posers and fags like justin bieber, lady ga ga. those kind of people. its just not fair. god bless you cliff. YOU ROCK!!!

[metalliman28716]

@doommetal101 DIO was pretty old dude...but i do agree all the good musicians die young...Curt Kobain,Jimi Hendrix and Janis joplin all died at 27... I think Metallica would be a different band if cliff was still alive..

[6ftUnder92592]

@metalliman28716 janis joplin still alive man

[metalliman28716]

@6ftUnder92592 She died at 27 years old,look it up

[Megatallicalideth]

@doommetal101 that's because teenagers nowadays are influenced by those faggots, and as a result,they begin to appreciate new artists than classic artists,which made them hate classic artists.i have to say,i'm not one of those "new music"freak. cause i like old school songs.

[SuperK9111]

bitchen

[MegaBrunokiller]

58 fuckin' posers dislike it

[Darthbuds]

He's my hero. Thx for everything Cliff.

[CBHBIB]

BEST HEADBANGER EVER

[HatchetmanSager]

57 Justin Beiber fans disliked this video

[Itachifan186]

Whoever disliked this needs to be raped by a hoard of undead rabbid monkeys.

[M3TALROCK3R]

R.I.P. Master Cliff Burton... you will never die \m/

[AICpantera]

what an amazing player the greatest

[shreadsthebass91]

dude that solo was amazing R.I.P. Cliff Burton \m/

[omnipotent1995]

That was actually a really cool solo

[SedaSerius]

The god of bass. This just proves that Cliff could have made it without Metallica.

[SRGTBAKER]

very powerful

[wladosu]

@kibbsmycat23 to live is to die???

me to, hehehe so i end up on u2b to watch some old stuff !

[wladosu]

book to live is to die reveal a lot of early cliff days, and there i found out that there are stuff on u2b with trauma, i remember 3-4 years ago there was nothing on internet about trauma(videos)

[98bigbutt]

Cliff didn't belong in that band

[nathankiseki09]

@noizenconfusion I play bass, and I try to model my style after Cliff, he's really the only bassist that played lead bass, you see bass is "supposesd to follow the drums or follow the rythm guitar" but Cliff, he made it his own

[nathankiseki09]

Trauma didnt know how to harvest his full power, thats why he left

[noizenconfusion]

@nathankiseki09 - Can anyone please tell me why Cliff is so highly rated? Every bass expert thinks he is one of the best, can someone tell me why? I'm not questioning his ability, just want to know since I'm not a musician.

[powersheep8]

@noizenconfusion The way he plays is so unique, and so musically "perfect" it just is amazing. Any bassist can hear a Cliff riff, and know its Cliff. He is so unique, and so good. Its just amazin.

[Megatallica12]

@noizenconfusion The reason why is because most of the time the bass guitar is just a time-keeper just holding up the beat, Cliff was doing insane heavy metal solos that would just Kill em all.

[CitySkateboards]

@Megatallica12 lol thumbs up for kill em all reference

[Megatallica12]

@CitySkateboards no prob man, I name em as I see em.

[MartyrOfMetal]

Fuck the 57 people who rated this video thumbs down.

[Tobarxp]

57 people need to die.

[Tobarxp]

holy fuck. holy fuck. !!!! swweeet!

[am1933]

It's quite easy to pick a few musicians and stick their names down in a fantasy band, but you have to think about their sounds and styles - and indeed if they could actually sound good together.

I think the following would make a pretty good band that would work well,

Bass -CLIFF BURTON

Vocals -Bon Scott

Drums -Nicko Mcbrain

Guitar1 -Zakk Wylde

Guitar2 -John Christ

A big dirty Bluesy band with screaming metal edge!!!!!!

[jstahl76]

WOW!!!!  thanks!

[Webzter92]

Freddie Mercury (Voz)

Jimmy Hendrix (Guitarrra)

Cliff Burton (Bajo)

John Bonham (Batería)

Esta banda solo puede existir en el cielo T_T

[666WHATProductions]

@Webzter92 RONNIE JAMES DIO (VOZ)

DIMEBAG DARREL (GUITARRA)

CLIFF BURTON (BAJO)

JAMES OWEN SULLIVAN (BATERIA)

ESTA BANDA YA EXISTE EN EL CIELO

[cliffgoodbye]

Will somebody please come along and blow me away like CB did? he was the one who inspired to pick the mother fuckin instrument of the gods in the first place! Don't tell me I've gotta do it! ..... (*3 years pass)..... damn..... I've gotta do it.

[CliffBurtonBassist]

@cliffgoodbye Lol it is teh instrument of teh gods

[MegaYummyPie]

where do u get the font at start of video?

[666WHATProductions]

@MegaYummyPie I GOT IT AS WELL, AND I GOT IT IN SOME WEBSITE CALLED METART OR SOME BULLSHIT LIKE DAT METCOVERART I DONT MEMBER BUT IT WAS TITLED "JAMES HETFIELD HANDWRITING"

[EvilRedGoose]

This would look so cool in Slo-Mo :D

[EvilRedGoose]

Beast Solo XD

[UeharaJunior15]

Is Cliff the only bass player that used wah + distortion?

[timcrow420]

its just so crazy to hear bassist play nonstop highnotes, he made it work, but very few can

[AlbyRocks77]

Cliff really kick ass!!!!!!

[bjsmith18]

this just proves that cliff is (if not the best bassist) but definately in the top 5 bassists of all time

[over18account123]

This Rocks who gives a shit about structure!? CLIFF BURTON \M/

[newoaklandlocal]

@over18account123 ..metal has NEVER had structure XD...it's basicly one of the key elements of metal is to not know how to play "properly" and sound amazing

[cliffgoodbye]

@newoaklandlocal Yeah yeah ye4h!!!

[FenderandPearl]

cliff < me as a bass player (just kidding)

r.i.p cliff

[gorgan1314]

Is there more video of this performance?

[6ftUnder92592]

yeah just look up trauma with cliff burton dude, they got like a three song demo including this bass solo

[19kyle66]

@gorgan1314 yea its like a 9 min song

[metalmadman01]

happy birthday cliff! feb 10th 1962~

[6672rock]

Those Rickenbacker basses always had a thick, heavy sound.

[6ftUnder92592]

fuckin want one so bad, but i dont have 2500 bux haha

[MethodLiCheerful]

I love cliff. And this solo is nothing short of amazing

[BlackOxify]

this is one of the best I've seen from Cliff. To be honest, a lot of his solos are just rehashes of Pulling Teeth.

[6ftUnder92592]

yeah, that true brotha, but the other stff cool too like the for whom the bell tolls solo and this one haha but i know where your commin from

[MrSeemby]

This is ungodly good, wish this was released as a song! The tapping is straight from Anesthesia.  Oh yeah; how exactly does Cliff. Don't say it without giving a DAMN good reason, as if your any better. U wish u could play this good.

[XanaduMyHome]

I hope you get in a car accident, crash horribly, lose half your legs, have to crawl out by ripping off your legs, falling out and landing on knives, then you crawl foward, roll down a steep rocky hill, land on a sharp rock that pierces through your chest, then you get up and slowly bleed out while animals eat what is left of you, and you hopefully live every minute of it til all your flesh is gone, and then your burned by a strike lightning that roars through the skies. and you burn in hell.

[kalaharasamir]

hope all you want, cliff still sucks. you´re not very intelligent, are you..? what are you, 13 year old?

[penfifteen666]

So if "most of his other stuff sucks" do tell...oh omnipotent one...what of his "other stuff" doesnt suck?

enlighten us dude

[XanaduMyHome]

none of his shit sucks, people just have problem understanding his amazing structure

[THEKFJ]

Cliff sucks, then who would you consider good?

And I'd love to see you do better.

[oskyloco]

@XanaduMyHome Gentlemen we have a winner hahaha oh man great words!

[mightynards]

what does this have to do with cliff ? you have no damn respect period to even have something as lame as ur junkie, filth

[XanaduMyHome]

i was insulting the bastard who insulted cliff, i probably respect cliff more then you asswipe, don't call me a junkie when you don't even got an idea of what im saying what about.

[RetroRifleGuitarist2]

@XanaduMyHome dude that was agressive lolz

[MonkeyAttackPlan]

@XanaduMyHome and then he has to eat my shit

[swarm2013]

I like 1:17

[varlyte15]

awesome solo... Cliff..... we miss you

[Vogelfrei777]

I hope the donkey's got AIDS.

[lemmingsuicide1234]

whenever i listen to cliff then to my bands bassist i always think " are you cliffs reincarnation?

[sapokkkjjj]

gotta love the rick

[rarebanana]

NICE!!!

[XanaduMyHome]

this solo is very rythmic and melodic and easy to follow, it might be my fav :o

[zcrious]

just awesome !

[cerberusparadox]

viva cliff burton

[Bertomanias]

Cliff Burton \m/ Just amazing!

[accde]

The ending remids me of Pulling Teeth.

[Monkey111092]

It should, because he used parts of his solos with trauma for Anesthesia

[jamesmaro]

ilu bby girl 4ever n ever lady

[ilikezelda64]

@accde

That's because the ending later became Pulling Teeth.

[CliffBurtonBassist]

@accde Where the fuck did u get that

[pankakeman800]

@accde pulling teeth is just a coilation of parts of bass solos he did before it

[myfentis]

Awesome player i love clifford lee burton

[PrivateMaster]

In honor of Cliff Burton, he had a dream which embedded an EMG dual bot engine in his brain when he was sleeping. That's how he came up with all those bass solos. But of all these memories since the mid 1980s, we truly miss Cliff. He died at age 24 after getting crushed by a bus in Sweden. His spirit remains in heaven but Robert Trujillo and the rest of us will always believe in him...always.

[skeptika5]

absolutely privatemaster ! seen rob in dublin fantastic bass player AS WE SAY IN IRELAND CLIFF ABU GOD BLESS BOTH !!

[dopewithabass]

Rob Really does Have Cliff Inside Of Him, His Playing Style Is Very Similar

[ccguy582]

Wow! Amazing solo! You can hear a lot of (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth in there.

[TITHO15]

Awesome !!!

[boey666]

wow, cliff was the man

[Georgeous129]

Looking at this video, I'm not surprised Metallica took him on. What a fucking bassist

[JJT247]

Cliff Rules!

[ARmetallica4life09]

clockworkplumbs ur just jealous because your so mentally retarded that you cant play an instrument,dont take it out on cliff

[metallicafreak77]

Angry ? Buddy That Man On The Video Is The Entire Reason I Picked Up A Bass Guitar In The First Place. Angry You say ?

Try The Word Fucking Gratefull Man. He Is The Mager Rager On That Four String Mother FUCKER

[Xerxes666metal]

I Agree, CLIFF RULES

[jonsploder]

Err, he came from a classical background.

[menoikaria]

fuck you....he had a high musical level....

[Kill12Em12All]

lol give im your bass :P

[mrbassman25]

yeah... thats what he reckons too... but unfortunately he is the only one who thinks so! :)

[adrian0550]

dam he is rocking that ricken ...long live cliff

[sandyman76754]

R.I.P Cliff. No where nearly enough characters available for me to say how fuckin amazin you were. and what an influence you are to me.

To Live Is To Die. Last song he wrote. what a one to finish on

[Soriano1994]

Shit...Someone have the tabs for this solo. please?...It's insane...R.I.P. Cliff

My english sucks, sorry

[Rangersforeva]

Dedamn666: Even if he was alive i would still say he is the major rager of the 4 string bass.

[Dedamn666]

bet if he was still alive no one would say hes a god among men, im a big cliff burton fan and one of my influences, but i see alot of people slagging off billy sheehan, who to me is extremely similair

[ybz2207]

This dude is by far the best of all time. I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks. This guy is the 4-string motherfucker! God rest your soul Cliff. You're legacy will live on! \m/

[Pacioke93]

What the fuck! He's like a God that lived in Earth... R.I.P.

[Babora12]

cliff burton RIP

[sirpc2]

cliff was the best :D

[98989898989895764]
