for whom the bell tolls! cliff burton plays bass solo

[yano789]

HI CLIFF!

[musicismywayoflife1]

2:42 james flips someone off. rotfl

[MadnessMetalhead]

I've seen bassists at their top. In terms of who versus whom, Cliff squashes them all.So does James and Kirk!

[MetalPlayaX]

Everyone dies for a reason, well what was cliff's?

[xGoreHoundx]

sometimes i forget they were a thrash band

[ajuicypineapple]

fuck the black album. Metallica never went down hill

[MrStanikk]

Clif's hand @00:38 \m/ :D

[vAGENTv0RANGEv]

excuse me, how did MetallicA die??? i never knew that a true metallica fan would ever talk down on any album or song. They can do what they want. Ten bucks says all of you are 12 years old and think you are a fan

[13JimiHendrix]

REST IN PEACE CLIFF!!!! THE FOR\CE OF LIGHTNING WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU!! 3:36 if you dont believe me

[elpolorock]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!

[Jganon93]

its an ok bass solo.. cliffs overrated trujillio is a real bass player

[HUSoldier01]

@Jganon93 and you must be gayer than Justin Beiber judging by that comment

[joefeyzullah]

@Jganon93 dude, what have you drunk?

[Budgieification]

to bad he was crushed by a bus.......

[NightmareStateX5]

cliff is still the world's greatest bassist...

[kiya12321]

he is a fantastic bassist but i think lemmy kilmister from motorhead is the best...of course that is a matter of opinion

[ryandunncod4]

he should jusy learn guitar fuck sake its a bass not a lead

[HUSoldier01]

@ryandunncod4 Bass is the best instrument and most underrated it is what holds 90% of songs together

[drumfr3k]

2 don't like because they are fags! Cliff Burton deserves respect! I don't care if people say Paul Gray and shit is better....... Cliff is God and still is known to all of our hearts as the best fucking player in the world!!!!!!<333333

[KagandoElPalo]

@drumfr3k oh powerfull god of metal pleas take violently the soul of justin bieber and return to us our dear cliff brton and also paul gray

[Carex09]

True gospel! Praise the Lord!

Church.

[Billgatezz]

Legend.

[DJmanasek0]

Well, how to say it, this solo is for me absolutely without any idea, and those effects are horrible. Its just pack of notes falling one by one from the bass...

[mikaboom123]

@DJmanasek0 its because your ears cant undersatnd the epicness man....noone can play so fast..

and the horrible efects you hear are trash metal effects...not jazz effects

[DJmanasek0]

@mikaboom123 Well, i would like to say, that specific bass tone is clear tone, not distorted. I see, his fingers are pretty fast, but thats all, i really dont like music, where the speed is main and only thing you can get it from it.

And you were right, im Jazzist ;-)

[mikaboom123]

@DJmanasek0 xD its not wrong to play with distortion...actually it makes a COOL sound

he is the fastest and also has made awsome songs

[carlito1292]

@DJmanasek0 i agree with you dude. no doubt cliff was talented though. wish his solos we more groovy then to just show off his fast fingers :\

[mewmas]

u can listen the begining of the four horsemen at the ending lol

cliff burton ftw

[brocolihead20]

i care to dissagree respectfully i like cliff, but its geezer all the way!!!!!!

[freddiemercury333]

Cliff, Victor Wooten and Flea are my bass heroes.

[kaynek00l]

whats so great bout cliff burton anyway

[imaxnfsmw020796]

Hi Cliff How you're doin'?

[lilisaac1234]

for the short fame he had he was the best bass player no lie...no matter what metallica haters say there is no other better bass player than cliff

[cheatguru2173]

who were the 2 people that gave this a thumbs down

[33cielak33]

Clif Burton to król basu!!!

[faithlikeachild26]

this rocks harder than anything ever

[andredgn]

he sounds like an guitar....... :/ an bad guitar!

[mrcliffburtonjr]

@andredgn and you sound like shit,real shit its not our problem if you cant appreciate real music

[komputerLuek]

ok , Cliff Burton may not be the best , but he sure deserves to be like on top10 metal bass players ... he is so influential .... R.I.P :(

[omnipotent1995]

@komputerLuek I would say top 5

[vVjosseVv]

R.I.P

[coffeecake917]

and for fags that go...''oh omfg stop bashing cliff he best bested you fag''..i never said he was bad..im stating hes overrated.

[coffeecake917]

yeah its easy to say clif is way better then trujillo or jason..1000 times better then both. hes a good bassist..tragic that he died. but god fucking dam..when are people going to realize how overrated he is. Yeah if he didnt die hed be even bettter. but hes way to overrated..the quicker people realize he isnt the worlds best basssit the better.

[syndrome666]

@coffeecake917 That is well said, and I've said it a million times before, but metallica died with him, they're not metallica without him, just look at them, they don't know what they're doing, and they lost the whole, chilled out feel to them since his fate.

[THEKFJ]

if cliff hadn't died, he could've gotten to point in bass where he'd have been ten x as good wooten or claypool, or any of those guys, their hard to compare, but keep in mind cliff was in his early twenties when he died.

[marktheshark44]

agreed i hate when people compare voctor wooten to cliff.. its like comparin g darrell abbott to eric clapton

[SuperRockinMuffin10]

he has figers fo a god

[slayerbbk]

Orgasm

[THEKFJ]

correction

eargasm

[leopunkmetal]

i miss him, he is better than trujillo or jason

fcking shit what a tragedy... and I prefer metallica when they were in the 80's than black album, load, reLoad, st.anger, death magnetic...

[TrooperLinks]

well as much as all those albums are bashed they do have a few good songs.

[222nietzsche]

30 cents? Well, chinchowpowpook, keep your 30 cents and go buy another handjob off your sister. Cheap raw fuckfuck cheap cakes. You call this a sex life?

[chinchowpowpook]

5 cents 4 yr anus mouth.

[erdetmerekaffe]

Blow me or shut up...

[MeatballYaro2]

the world of metal needs another cliff burton

[mikyefreash]

good bass solo, but i've seen a lot better.

[MrTokig]

how the hell can you become that good??

[peterschmeltzer]

no sir i didn't like it.

[erdetmerekaffe]

why?

[mikaboom123]

@peterschmeltzer fUck you everyone must love this solo

[yerryMETALLICa]

@peterschmeltzer METALLICA wey you walk out the fart FUAAAA

[tommy54214]

@peterschmeltzer

Fuck you bitch, cliff was probably the best bassist in that fucking era so if you dont like it,

stop bitching about it to people WHO LIKE his music and go fuck your mom (as your probably always do)!

[s143658]

May Cliff rest in peace.

[madhjo]

@ GeeTARnugget

No, it's The Four Horsemen

[AustralLord]

great solo, but there's probably better ones

[mastadon1111]

lol i got the same bass clif had

[bullshnighdt]

nice but i bet urs isnt conducting lightning off of it like in the vid

[AustralLord]

which vid?

[GeeTARnugget]

allright is it just me or does it seem like their startin to play astro zombies by the misfits at the very end

[JudasCariot11]

soloist93 i agree with you. after the black album metallica went down hill form there. what a shame

[erdetmerekaffe]

Dude the biggest drop for metallica was after Cliff died. You can say that the black album was a way up when you think about load and reload.

[JudasCariot11]

Yeah i agree but one thing i got to say is that justice for all greatest album. and after that album they were ok but after black album it just sucked

[GeeTARnugget]

i mainly agree with you but some cds after that it was that not the whole cd sucked just most of their songs on the cds sucked, like no leaf clover is a good and so is fuel, but their height is when cliff was with them, but ...and justice for all is a great album no doubt

[JudasCariot11]

Yes i mean Justice for All very good perfect album and black was ok i mean Sandman was good and Wolf and Man but after that they just sucked. but i think they might be heading somewhere after death magnetic

[scooterok1]

@erdetmerekaffe Seattle 1989 was one of the best performances iv seen by Metallica, it begs the question, 'did their performance suffer from the lack of Cliff?'. No it didnt, we will never get Cliff back but Jason was the closest to a fucking thrash bassist like Cliff was.

[pingpongbro88]

yea true---like death magnetic was okayish........... but not as good as the earlt stuff with Cliff

[JudasCariot11]

Thank you very much

[EstebanPeralta]

you're right.... but i don't think that Load and Reload stuff was thaaat bad.... it's just..... DIFFERENT...... the major reason of people saying LOAD and RELOAD is crap is because Metallica changed their music style, not because those records sucked... if you listen to those records with other ears, not as a Metallicaearlydayshardcorelove­r, you can hear great stuff right there... Until it Sleeps, Bleeding me, Mama Said, The Memory Remains are godly songs....

[AustralLord]

Load and Reload were very good, different, but still excellent

[deevon788]

ahhhh

those were the days

[tom12x2000]

copy and paste for the one and only

To live is to die R.I.P Clifford Lee Burton 1962-1986 We miss you

[Seasickelijah]

HI CLIFF HOW YOU DOIN

[Oscarskate1001]

[lgallardo93]

[itachi456789]

HI CLIFF

[tikia112]

ya KIRK

[soloist93]

I was a teenager when I was turned on to Metallica back in 1984 and I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to Metallica with Cliff (and see them live with him as well). In my mind and my heart, Cliff never died. Unfortunately, Metallica died in 1991.

[komputerLuek]

hah , You are one lucky man , soloist93 , I wish I had been born waaay earlier , so that I could for example meet Cliff Burton , like You

[Tivakudze]

@soloist93 they never eally died, most of their concert music is 91 or less, so lets say they ressurect themselves during concerts. i still have high hopes for them in the studio. :) Metallica 4 life!

[ww2production]

@soloist93 maybe you should have died with them if you think that

[alber2992]

cliff not died!!!!

[JurcExpLoD]

his bass rocks: aria :)

[carchis]

NO ONE LIKE CLIFFFF!!!

I will see you when I die cliff !!!!!!!!!!

[zaki9090]

at first i thought you wrote no one likes cliff i was like wtf and then i read it again and saw it was no one like cliff

[PsychoGrandad]

Is this recording on any of Mettalica's DVDs?

[erdetmerekaffe]

i dont know but i dont think so. I found it online

[nomad182]

It's on Cliff 'Em All.

[PsychoGrandad]

Thanks!

[Scud02]

[pacoaronmatt2]

how did he get that sucking soun.. not say that he sucks but describing the sound

[erdetmerekaffe]

he uses a guitar amp^^

overdrive=P

[Ele3tricEye]

a guitar amp on a bass would bust the amp (too much low end). I wouldnt doubt he used a distortion pedal...man i wish i knew exactly what he used. id buy a bass just to have that sound

[thedoors2102]

he used a electro harmonix big muff

a something power wah

an aria bass and mesa/boogie amps

[Ele3tricEye]

thanks. wow, how do you know all that?

[thedoors2102]

uh well i was listening to chinese democracy wen it was bein streamed on myspace and i found on gnr's friends that cliff was there (obviously not rly him) and it said wat equipment he used and stuff

[Ele3tricEye]

nice. i might check some of that stuff out. ive been looking at guitar distortion recently, so this might work out. i love the tone of his bass, its got a nice warm feeling to it.

[TLeonard91]

sorry to say it but that sounds disgusting..

[ultimateguitarfish]

hmm

[bassmike7021]

Excellent right hand technique... Pure respect...

[McLovin42000]

look at James Fingers on 1:32 to 1:45

[n0m0ret3ars]

wow his right hand at the beginning...amazing

[McLovin42000]

HAHA 2:43 James Fingered Someone

[danikorn89]

na it was just song interpretation

[McLovin42000]

No you can toatally see it!

[McLovin42000]

He was the best

[michael3700]

awesome! but... a little out of tune? XD

[McLovin42000]

Shut up

[Bowtome09]

Don't be fooled by the wah hes in tune

[michael3700]

i ment james

[Bowtome09]

james yah he was a little out of tune here

[McLovin42000]

yea i guess so

[wolverine0008]

died tooooooooo young had alot more goin fo him

[idkmyusername86]

lol with him they don't even need kirk, just get another bass player that will play bass bass and then have him play lead guitar bass haaha, shame he is gone and i alive either = [ is is amazing

[shockmeista360]

everybody shut the fuck up!!!

cliff burton was great (not greatest). it was a sad day when he died (and i wasn't even alive!)

[zippy66]

I find the bass solo very sloppy, messy, and by reading the comments very overrated.

Also, hardcore metallica fans probably gave this comment the thumbs down hardcore so nobody can read it but I don't care... lol

[mettal7]

hell yeah his overreated by these fuckers. I was able to do everything cliff did here in five minutes, withouts tabs. I guess you have to die to get respect.

[errpokegem]

Fuck you.

[thymegadeth]

How bout :53 to 1:00 pal. Make a video

[mettal7]

I dont need a video, i can explain how he did it here.

pull off 17th fret to 14th in first string, then play 17th string second string, next play 14 fret first string. You do this over and over nothing fucking special.

[yepenga92]

hes right but hes a fucking retard

[lildread1]

upload a vid show us ur amazing skills cuz he made da money and was famous not u

[9899115505]

hey motherfucker y dnt u upload a vid and proove tht ur tht gud.... until then keep ur sloppy cock sucking mouth shut........got tht dickkhead

[ultimateguitarfish]

actually i am a metallica fan, and i agree with you, very sloppy indeed.... and messy sound.....sorry guys, just saying what i think xD

[lukemartin2008]

sound like a corvus kewl r.i.p to one of m heros

[fuckcopz17]

R.I.P.

[dud3ad]

Cliff, if he were alive today. things would be different and people would know what real bass is. :(

[ultimateguitarfish]

lett...(eller......?)

[orochimaruscurse]

one of the best bassists of all time (probably THE best one \m/)

[erdetmerekaffe]

yeah! i know he is like the bass god^.^

all people shhod have a time of the day when they just listens to his bass magic=P

[fourhorseman101]

You need to update your video description dude. Cliff was also on Master of Puppets. His BEST work was on Master of Puppets. Orion and Master of Puppets were his favorite pieces to play.

[metasnake432]

its sad he never got to play orion live. R.I.P. Cliff. Oh by the way he WAS the best bassist

[gonzalez302]

IS the best bassist

[APMEHECA]

awesome...

[louisrocks10]
