man does Rob Suck on this song. I mean just listen to Jason's bass track on S&M its just so solid and good compared too this crap. Metallica ended in 2001
The rocked it way harder in Nashville in 2004. They dedicated it to Cliff, and didnt fuck up the harmony in the outro like they did here. Much superior version in Nashville.
Lot's of people have tried to play Anesthesia, but few if any can play it quite the way Cliff did. The fingering rhythm is pretty complex. Kind of like how people have tried to play Orion (even Rob) but they never quite get the accuracy or feel for it the way Cliff did.
Shame, James can't even play his old stuff anymore, and his sound is weak now. This song used to envelope you when you heard it live, now it sounds thin and weak.
You're right. I believed that they didn't perform Ktulu since the S&M concert, but here is this video. But I think it is hard for them to perform these songs because of Cliff, you know...They played Orion at his funeral, and they didn't play that until 2006. But I would like to hear Ktulu, Orion, and Suicide more often and I dream about that once a time they will play the whole To live is to die...
@alvartaken hahahha that's true those asiatic guys can do anything even play like cliff burton I've seen a video of an amazing performance of anesthesia the best cover on youtube and he is asiatic
@Smertyin092 I dont think that Anesthesia is a song that anyone would like to hear get covered. It was so much of Cliff Burton, it was Cliff Burton, it would not be good. Its like trying to copy Burton and nobody could ever do that, in my opinion.
Actually you are right. My comment was an answer for someone, who asked me if Trujillo could play Anesthesia. And my answer was (as you see) that Trujillo IS ABLE to nail it, but he SHOULDN'T DO that
I wish MetallicA fucking plays songs like "Ktulu" much more often instead of songs like "Enter Sandman" or "One", they are freat songs but they are played all the time. What about a twist! METALLICA! I hope they play this song in Toronto in October
Theres a good reason for that. A lot of people when they go to concerts want to hear the hit songs like enter sandman, master of puppets, one, etc.
Some people at the concerts are just casual fans, or may have only heard a few songs before. It could be there first concert, a 9 minute long song like Ktulu means a lot only to the die hard fans, which is definitely the minority of the audience.
i agree with you to much james maybe getting old but he always rocked hard no matter what and he has meaning in his songs and i mean songs like low man lyrics and fade to black and prince charming and so on the stuff not on the radio
Damn, this is rare. Before this, the last time Ktulu was played was S&M. Before that, 1984, I think. If you go to a Metallica show, and they play this, savor it. You're damn luck.
they actually played it a couple of times in 1999 and 2000 without the symphony. Also the 4 S&M konsert with the one in Madison Square garden and Berlin.
hahah kirk and rob look funny as hell!!! and props to Rob for aceing this beeter live without the orcheastra better than jason, who also did a fantastic job. i feel this one is slightly more like cliffs but still lacks that "omg! thats a bass!!" factor.UNtil 4:06!! what da hell didd rob pull their!!! did he harmonize with kirk for the rest of the solo!!! i think he did!! im so proud of that monkey-crab beaner, finaly another hispanic bassist. and hes in mettalica WOW!!!!! great job Trujillo!!!!!
Lol don't use long ass comments for stuff that isn't true, half of Ride the Lightning was already written before the EP was released. Dave wrote the song, there were no lyrics dumbass, they kept it instrumental and in the end Kirk wrote the solo
Thats BS dave wrote the opening...all dave wrote was lead for the 11 lousy months he was in metallica...Im not knocking megadeth because i love them but seeing those chords in hanger 18 and the part in want and where vocal pattern in hanger 18 and return to hanger is exactly the same as sanitarium except a faster tempo...Its old news that dave ripps off metallicas music..but alteast he does a good job right?
Wrong. Dave wrote lyrical melodies and guitar riffs, as well as several bass lines, that Metallica tweaked and moved into their own songs. Dave even came up with the concept of the prayer in the middle of Enter Sandman, something that was used ten years after his departure from Metallica. Nobody really ripped off anybody, and it's always been that way, more or less.
Until I see a source on that it's bullshit. I don't even really care about what you're saying, but I'm sick of pseudo-metal historians acting like they know what they're talking about.
Yeah. Thats entirely Kirk's fault. James plays the low riff, and he never changed, but it sounds like Kirk didn't go high enough to hit the accompanying harmony.
Yeah, but honestly, I think Cliff's distortion made him sound like a guitar more than a bass. That's why I like Newsted to be honest. We can all say that Cliff had alot of talent, but when it comes to how Jason and Cliff play bass, Cliff belongs as a lead guitarist! Just my ten cents..
i honestly think bass soudns way better wiht dist than guitar, it sounds heavier and more powerful, For whomt he bell tolls anyone?, when i see covers and the lead guitarrist is playing the intro i just fcking close it, it sounds so shitty itsnot even funny, and an insult to cliff
Cliff`s sound came from his from the combination of a couple of his Idols namely Jimi Hendrix and Lemmy Kilmister(of Motorhead)
Jimi used the Wah-wah and Lemmy used distortion,when combined you got Cliff`s sound.
Cliff made his bass like that because he wanted to do what Jimi did to his guitar,revolutionize it. Cliff wanted to be the best as well as be creative. He did that in my mind.
Does anyone know what show this is from? and I really like how it's easy to hear the bass on this, this is a fantastic bootleg recording, thanks for sharing it with the world, and I hope Metallica comes up to Canada again after they release the new album, I missed them in '04, but I have a bootleg of that show, so whatever...
I like jasons and cliffs versions better because the overdrive/whammy that rob uses dont sound that good, on orion and bells it does sound good but its a bit to aggressive for this song, robs very good though
imo this is the best version of 'call of ktulu' ever because the basssolo can really be heard! on the album version the bass harder to listen without special EQsettings.
your right "gefrast" about that this solo comes out the best but on the youtube version of S&M jasons solo comes out very well (better than on the dvd) im just saying i think robs sound is a bit to aggressive for this song, but indeed rob does the effort of using the wah
Rob`s version is still better than Jason because Rob actually tried the wah-pedal and distortion stuff,whereas Jason just played basic bass and didnt even try to do the stuff that made this song great.
thats because he wrote call of ktulu, he named it when hell freezes over. Metallica just added in some things and changed the name, just like the four horsemen.
I dunno, Rob can't play this song right I guess. I was really hoping he'd actually solo more. Jason did a better job at covering this really, but this was still a god performance.
Kinda part of being human you know? Any band, any musician isn't a 100 percent all the time. That's the thing about watching a band live, overall the performance was amazing and that's what matters.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry, but Rob sucks at Ktulu, his clean tone you can still hear, the lead bass is is meant to represent a monster (Ktulu) destroying a city, sounds like he's taking a shit.
i dont know if you meant rob didn't have distortion, but it was distorted. i liked the tone, it's punches through better. plus i dont like bass tones drenched in distortion. finally, i thought rob played some really cool fills.
Didn't they only play it on the S&M shows with Jason? And He had NO distortion on those shows...Kirk was using wah when they done it with Jason, if you listen carefully, still awesome.
man does Rob Suck on this song. I mean just listen to Jason's bass track on S&M its just so solid and good compared too this crap. Metallica ended in 2001

what is up with this bass? I'm sorry, but something just doesn't right about it...like it's out there musically, you know?

I dunno, Rob can't play this song right I guess. I was really hoping he'd actually solo more. Jason did a better job at covering this really, but this was still a god performance.

s&m is the key. This is not the key. The sort of sound quality being played in a tin can.

This song kicks ass. I never knew they performed it after S&M.
Wow, they did a lot of old songs in 04'.

Kirk absolutely butchered the solo here. Its hard to stand up for him when he does not perform well all the time. He is still my idol though

Kinda part of being human you know? Any band, any musician isn't a 100 percent all the time. That's the thing about watching a band live, overall the performance was amazing and that's what matters.

Sorry, but Rob sucks at Ktulu, his clean tone you can still hear, the lead bass is is meant to represent a monster (Ktulu) destroying a city, sounds like he's taking a shit.

i dont know if you meant rob didn't have distortion, but it was distorted. i liked the tone, it's punches through better. plus i dont like bass tones drenched in distortion. finally, i thought rob played some really cool fills.

but Ktulu was drenched in distortion, with Jason and Cliff, it fits the song, not the clangy sound.

Didn't they only play it on the S&M shows with Jason? And He had NO distortion on those shows...Kirk was using wah when they done it with Jason, if you listen carefully, still awesome.
