  • Was he drunk during this? Im not dissing truijillo as a player usually hes pretty good but goddamn i can play this better than that

  • @patrick61503 If you weren't there or didnt hear the background, this was not planned, there was a delay when Apocalyptica were setting up cellos to play Clover and someone shouted "bass solo" and James then said "bass solo take one" and then Rob just started playing it. As it hasnt been played live since Cliffs death and is very personal to the other band members he was probably extremely nervous about playing it, which is why it (understandably) seems rushed and why he waved off the last part.

  • 1:31 lololol epic orgasam sound

  • I understand Cliff was amazing, but to be honest if Cliff were alive now. He probly wouldnt want back in Metallica with how it is now. Its too far from what it was.

  • @ropisfun To be fair you cant be the judge of that because he's been gone for so long, if he was alive, anything could have happened to change his taste in music and his opinions on certain things will have changed, so again, you are wrong to assume he wouldnt want back in the band

  • @ropisfun Then you know absolutely nothing about who Cliff was. Cliff would be the first one to suggest things like S&M, Load, and Lulu that most people reject due to being unusual. Cliff brought things like Fade To Black and Call Of Ktulu to the band that were at the time extremely different from what they were known for. He was really the first one to have the band accused of "selling out" and would be quick to tell you to fuck off.

  • If he could play it on the leaf blower, now that would be something.

  • Cliff was amazing and exceptional, and everone loves him, including Rob. And who better to keep Cliff's music alive by playing it to an audience of Metallica fans celebrating 30 years of their favourite band? Way to go Rob, you're awesome, and thank you for helping to keep the momery of Cliff alive x x

  • sorry guys but rob cannot play this song. Cliff is untouchable.

  • @loombaron It's not a contest. Rob playing the song doesn't take away from Cliff in any way, it's a tribute. Rob has the utmost respect for Cliff.

  • @loombaron Cliff rulz

  • Cliff is no doubt the best bassist and Jason was the best backing vocals but I still love rob!

  • eargasm 1:31

  • He nailed it!

    Fuck all you cliff fanboys that think rob was shit, I love cliff and cliffs stuff.

    Cliff & Rob 3

  • Don't touch this, it's Cliff's!!!

  • @Rebelyellrocknroll it's not you to decide

  • Nee que porqueria esto es una burla para Cliff

  • @KUINSI99 Solo dire algo y no espero que me respondas, yo no te respondere igual, mira, cliff ya esta muerto, el no fue el mejor bajista que haya existido, esto no es una porqueria, yo toco el bajo desde hace 5 años y tengo mucha experiencia en musica, rob es muy buen bajista y usted señor, es un total PENDEJO.

  • @cafekkohard Lastima peladito ami realmente me ofende esto porque CLIFF si era una verdadera figura del THRASH, me ofende lo que hizo metallica y ud apuesto a que es de las personas que solamente escucha guns n roses, aerosmith y musica comercial y se cree un sabio, interprete eso y sabra lo que le quiero decir, y bien niño no me interesa lo que ud diga, me parece falta de inmadurez inrespetar las opiniones de los demas ya que eso no lo hace un verdadero Metalero o Rockero

  • @KUINSI99 Sabes, es cierto, lo siento po haberlo ofendido, y para aclarar, yo no soy de esos tipos comerciales, gnr me partece una mierda , yo escucho bandas como evile, havok, megadeth, slayer, overkill, y otras muy buenas, solo que a mi me molesta un poco que a este bajista lo tachen de un mal bajista siendo que es muy bueno, pero bien, no creo que cliff se hubiera ofendido por esto. Como sea, ese mensaje que deje solo fue un momento de enojo, mis disculpas. Arriba el Thrash metal lml

  • @cafekkohardcore No importa yo soy el que debo disculparme no solo contigo si no que con todos los que vieron o ven este video, porque quizas robert es uno de sus idolos y les ofende que lo trate mal, simplemente queria dar a entender que CLIFF es tan bueno que ni un bajista de nivel alto podria llegar asemejarze a él, ojala me entienda larga vida al Thrash metal. Robert tampoco es malo es bueno, pero cuando hablam os de Jason comparandose con Robert, prefieron a Robert.

  • @KUINSI99 jejeje esta bien bro, igual aki todos estamos por metallica y por el thrash, :) buenas noches.

  • WHAT - DA - FAK

  • Cliff would probably thought Rob was awesome if they ever met.

    Cliff was amazing, but he's dead. You can't bring back the dead, no matter how much you wish you could. So what do you do? You move on. Don't think Cliff would've liked it if Metallica split up because of his death anyway.

  • @TheLittleVirus Couln't have said it better!

    Cliff was amazing!!  and gone.

  • @TheLittleVirus stating the obvious...

  • R.I.P. Cliff

    You was the Best!!!

  • Well done not many bass players pull this off

  • @JeffWatersRules I play guitar, and I can play this note for note on a bass, with my fingers. And before you say "show a video," I have no recording equipment whatsoever...

  • @metalhead492 vid or did not happen

  • @JeffWatersRules I guess you don't read well do you? Let me track down a buddy with the right equipment, then I would be happy to shut you right the fuck up.

  • @metalhead492 Oh get a sense of humor already I was just messing with ya.

  • @JeffWatersRules Lol, I wasn't sure if you were or not.. Kinda hard to tell through just text ya dig? But nah man, I have been involved in music for 10+ years now, I assure you, I can play it lol.

  • Ohhh my God ..... The Bass of Doom of Jaco ?

  • ese wey esta bien noob no se compara con cliff!!

  • @SUSJEFASLOKAS verdad k si? nisikiera la puede tokar

  • @SUSJEFASLOKAS son totalmente diferentes, todos lamentamos que cliff ya no esté, pero no podemos hacer nada.

  • R.I.P. Lars hair...

  • I want to go to A Concert With metallica SO Friggin bad, I Would Love To get My bass Autographed By Robert

  • Every Metallica video i see always has some comment about Cliff, yes he was good...and yes noone will compare to Cliff because they aren't Cliff. No one will compare to Rob or Jason. Personally my favorite of bassists would be between Jason or Rob.

  • Rob is right hand of Cliff Burton

    Jason is left...

    in my opinion

  • rob is so incredible--but no one can play this like cliff

    no one

  • @jkjmmjjdjdkfkjcncjdd Of course not, Cliff created it.

    But I know what you meant.

  • I believe that's Jaco Pastorius' bass he's playing, he holds onto it for Jaco's family

    i might be wrong about that being the actual bass though

  • @pvenice87 Wasn't that a fretless one? This one seems like it has frets, although I'm not sure.

  • Cliff is the best.. aways..

  • @runemaster512

    Neither Would You So Shut The FUck Up

  • @Metlavids LOL umadbro? Have fun with your sad excuse of a life ragefag :)

  • Robert Trujillo was possessed by Cliff Burton.

  • @runemaster512 true but hes still a good bass player..........HAIL CLIFF!!!

  • @TheImmortalmetal He is indeed an excellent player, probably better than Newstead was, but none the less... Cliff Burton was a god.

  • @runemaster512 UGHH thnk God.someone who finally agrees hes better than Newstead.Not that Newstead sucks i just think hes more skilled!

  • @TheImmortalmetal Agreed... Rob is a better player... more skilled. Jason on his best day could have never pulled this off.

  • was heard well without distortion

  • Lol @ the lars statue back there.

  • @leov316 "Lars the statue" was seen wiping tears away during the song.

  • Please don''t play Anesthesia if you aren't Cliff Burton

  • He made the easy part, Cliff Burton is better!\m/

  • ill never get upset for technical issues ever again...if it werent for technical problems, we would never have gotten to see one of the greatest moments ever in metallica history...

    when james has to wipe away tears, you know youre watching something special!

  • YOU GUYS MUST TO UNDERSTAND THAT ROBERT IS THE BASSIST FROM METALLICA AND JASON IS PART FROM THE PAST...THATS IT ...

  • I wish to see Ray Burton's face when Rob started to play...

  • Rob is the best bass player of metallica since cliff :)

  • Jesus trying to ressurect Cliff by playing anesthesia

  • It's not a particulalry well played version but the sentiment is there.

  • It would be better if he played it without effects.

  • @SgtZaqq Since it wasnt planned, he started out playing it clean since he wasnt prepared for it but after a few seconds someone turned on the distortion, which is actually correct, its the same as was used in the original recording.

  • @singemfrc don't like that distorion on original version very much :|

  • Comment removed

  • @singemfrc true

  • @singemfrc I saw on other video that you can see kirk back there sitted down and he does a thing and a reaction on his face that seems was he who turned on the distortion pedal

  • WOW FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only rob can play metallica songs right

  • @ragnaroksama And Jason and Cliff.

  • @Mr7Mtl well ever since, only rob played anesthesia, and he plays orion better than jason...now cliff is another thing '-' lol

  • @ragnaroksama The most people like Jason more. But Rob plays Songs like Orion and For Whom the Bell Tolls better than Jason. (Cause Rob uses his Fingers, like Cliff did.)

    And... had Jason ever played Orion live? I think the first (full) live Performence of Orion (since Cliffs death) was at Rock am Ring 2006.

  • @Mr7Mtl i know i like jason more too cause his more metal and mostly because of his live solos, i almost learned every1 of them pretty cool to play everynow and then. the only metallica song we can hear jason playing is my friend of misery and orion (he played couple times the interlude live) now my friend of misery he created...and orion he didnt play as well as rob did, i like his version anyways but it feels like rob plays like it is

  • THIS IS ROBERT TRUJILLO VIVA MEXICO. FUCKING FAGGETS RSCISTS PIECE OF SHIT....

  • Rob is awesome, I hope he never leaves Metallica. Sorry but he's better than Jasonic, Jason is a great bassist and show man but his time is done. He gave up to quickly. Now that he's doing nothing he wishes he was in Metallica, too bad buddy. and his bass solo on this sucks. Rob is in Metallica will most likely be the longest lasting bassist. He's already been in almost ten years. another four to go Rob!!!!

  • you can only play this with fingers! it sounds crappy with a pick

  • robert is good but cliff is god

  • Everyone wants Cliff like he's still alive .. He's Dead and it sucks .. Trujillio kills jason on bass

  • @cjf7991 agreed anyone who thinks jason is better is full of it. Jason has one good quality and that's being a show man. his bass playing was solid but rob is all over the place.

  • fuck yeah por eso trujillo esta en METALLICa porque es una verga

  • what were apocalyptica starting to play at the end of the video?

  • @Pastisknowledge No Leaf Clover was the song played after this video ends

  • Take this to the setlist finally, METALLICA, Rob Trujillo!!!

  • como es posible esto esta cancion es 100% de cliff y aunque sono buena me gustaria mas con su escritor \m/..^^..\m/

  • @KevinManrriquez  lo sabemos pero desafortunadamente cliff ya descansa en paz y el lo hizo como un tributo a Cliff

  • I am sure, cliff must be grinning ear to ear....while thinking....well done Rob !!!!!

  • i have waited for this for 20 years :')

  • i really prefer cliffs solo =/

  • the place reeked of weed hahaha:)

  • Cliff better

  • I do not think any lack of respect for cliff, the same votaria by robert in a hearing to be his replacement, let's be honest and accept, Roberto was given to finish the great legend.

    Long live Metal bastards!

  • Bass solo...take 2

  • @BlackSquadKiller Everybody say "Hi Cliff!"

  • Haters are gonna hate ! Fuck y'all haters. Rob is amazing.

  • From 0:39, Lars doesn't move one bit XD

  • I love the way he starts smiling at 0:44 haha :D

  • GO GORILLA!!!

  • why cant everyone just shut the fuck up and listen to the music, he played it out of respect for Cliff, he probably didn't play the solo because he, most likely, hasn't played it in the last 8 years and didn't want to mess it up. Yes Newsted is a great bassist, but so is Trujillo. Plus Rob's style is much closer to Cliff's, compared to Newsteds style. It's more fitting for Rob to play Cliff's masterpiece than for Jason.

  • He should have finished, Lars was ready to. Kinda sad especially since Lars probably hasn´t played that live in a looooong time. Sometimes it´s good to remember people though others renditions of their music.

  • bestia del bajo este compadre .. dejen de mirarlo a weo ...

  • awesome awesome

  • In fact, guys, it isn't a hard solo to play. The thing here is, this shit is beautiful. Thanks Rob.

  • Thanks for everything. Fucking love you guys. !

  • Cliff Burton is way better at playing but i guess its cause he made it but still not bad...

  • @DarthMuse Not bad? Actually perfect.. who are you bass player to say what's good what's not? You didn't liked much as Cliff's cause it was played not by Cliff

  • @jonazz48 i wish i could see cliff play it

  • for anyone to think jason couldnt play that is utterly stupid............i love cliffs work more than anyone who walks this planet or any other.....i got cliff em all when i was 8 years old....jason is very under appreciated by the metallica faithful....jason wasnt cliff that was his only problem....jason is great....id love to work with him...rob isnt cliff either and hes great too....cliff just happens to be king.....stop the jason hate is too easy and inaccurate.

  • @bluefukingreene Too right brother, Jason is a huge part of Metallica history, and their longest serving bassist. Too many haters out there forget how much energy, passion, devotion and loyalty he gave to those 3 guys.

  • @bluefukingreene I recall a few interviews saying he couldn't play Cliff's solos. He could do Ktulu, but that Orion and Pulling Teeth were beyond him or something like that.

    IMO, I think he could play them, but it was really that James -wouldn't- let him. Not without his head on a silver platter...

  • @Evin07 jason has played orion my friend,not the whole piece but the mellow bass section....jason plays with a pick,he could play it.....probably didnt out of respect and not wanting to get crucified by fans,which he was anyone from day 1;.

  • Robert should have not stopped, even Lars wanted him to continue, he started the drums part

  • i respect rob so much more now!

  • Hasn't MetallicA done enough to shit on Cliff in the last 15 years. Do they really have to take a shit on his music, while his poor father sits in the audience and squirms?!

  • @t351cj at last 1 man that know the truth. all 4 faggots are now a disgrace to cliff, they play only for money

  • @MrAmrax That's bullshit though. They could all put down their instruments today and never need to work another day for the rest of their lives, 'cause they're already loaded. So therefore they still play because that's who they are and what they love doing. "WE'LL NEVER STOP AND WE'LL NEVER QUIT 'CAUSE WE'RE METALLICA". Anyone who says otherwise is either a fanboy who feels betrayed or desperately jealous.

  • All I have to say is that get over Jason Newsted. He really never had the talent to play at the level he did. Robert is a better bassist then the music he plays in the band he plays. Money talks.

  • Rob is an awesome bass player, check out his work in Infectious Grooves if you do not believe he is on the level of Cliff Burton

  • fuck trujillo 

  • It really is a sacred song!!!!

  • ROB YOUR THE SECOND BEST BASSIST METALLICA HAS PICKED

  • he's not deserve to play this sacred song, 8 years in metallica and he play anesthesia? jason newsted 15 years in metallica and he dont play this song, jason is more deserve to play this song

  • @The619orton Jason wasn't good enough skillwise to play this song...

  • Now I can forgive them for making "Lulu"...

  • well,that was flawless.

  • Fuck that!!! He's the only bassist really good enough to even attempt to play it!!!..

    That was awesome

  • It should be noted that this was apparently not planned. He just did it off the cuff.

  • @Razorback613 That is correct, it was not on the setlist. While the crew was fixing a technical glitch with Apocalyptica's cellos, someone shouted bass solo take one and he started playing it.

  • @singemfrc I fucking love the guy that said Bass Solo Take One.

  • @singemfrc now I know that I have to scream "bass solo" if I go to a metallica show :D

  • Finally! :D

    And that beard is metal as fuck!

  • Playing this with his fingers so flawlessly should now show everyone who was in any doubt, what a great bassist he is! And as much as I love Jason, Rob is really the right man to continue Cliff's legacy with Metallica! <3

  • @AngelicStorm1 You should hear Rob's work in Infectious Grooves.

  • awwwww he didn't finish it lmao

  • He is really Rob ?

    He plays like Cliff . . . cool

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!

  • seen 'Tallica live ! (check) .. pulling teeth or a piece of it live (check).... Frayed ends of Sanity (complete version) .. (pending) ...!!!

  • @Azuetallica ...To Live Is To Die LIVE (Also Pending...and fucking overdue!!!)

  • CLIFFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE MISS YOU!! RIP

  • @mrblog47

    The "noise" is called the four-string electric bass!

  • Rob does "pulling teeth" justice man!

  • Роб жжёт!!! Клиф, я думаю, гордился бы!!!

  • metallica really have put there demons in the past, if they let rob play this, glad to see him nailed it as cliff played it.

  • Rob is a cool guy ;

  • OMG THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS SINCE CLIFF'S DEATH! I'M SO HAPPY!

  • rob..damn a legend.wow

  • cool, but lacks the feeling which Cliff played with, of course. Rob is playing like a metronome and it's missing the wah, but it's cool someone plays it, i guess...

  • HOLY SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ITS FUCKING EPIC

  • I bet Jason can't play this song

  • @CarlosDick28 are you crazy ? :D everyone can play this intro ... watch in youtube some covers man... and rob play only the intro... the rest of the song is much more harder ;]

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT IM SO HAPPY! R.I.P CLIFF!

  • Goddam, this is wonderful. It took 25 years for a Metallica bassist since Cliff to do it, and I'm glad it happened!

  • respects!

  • He should not be playing this. This is Cliffs song!

  • @RRNYC1998 Rob is awesome enough to pull it off, I'd imagine Cliff was up there in heaven playing along at the same time.

  • Long Live Cliff \,,/

  • Play 'To Live is to Die'!

  • Lars wanted to play the whole song xD

  • i dont agree...

  • Rob is Badass! Cliff's soul is in you man!

  • did you get the whole concert? it was yesterdays right?

  • Although Rob doesn't have as much feeling as Burton, it is Anesthesia! RIP Cliff Burton and Long Live Metallica!

  • Awesome performance. Laughed at 1:35! "Thank you, I... oh, nevermind"

  • I have only one fucking question. Why Metallica doesn't let Jason to play Anesthesia in years he was in band? Why? He could play this song with... with soul. I don't know how to say. I hope you understood me.

  • @Whiplash1632

    I'm not sure Jason's playing style would suit the song at all.
