[meluncha]

you rockkk yeah

[towliehasnoidea]

I love the pick style BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR THE FUCKING BASS

[gothix114]

@towliehasnoidea I use finger and I CAN HEAR THE FUCKING BASS JUST FINE THANKS

[halogamers]

@gothix114 same here.

[halogamers]

@towliehasnoidea you can hear it with your fingers if you have a good tone >< lol

[fanvideosfull]

@halogamers yeah!, is very easy and the tone is very good, it's a sound very complete

[fanvideosfull]

jason not a good bassist

[gunnziboy]

@towliehasnoidea still a pick... :)

[RotnRoll77]

Metallica have a bassist?

[Nickhead87]

@RotnRoll77

Lol. Seems like Newsted's bass stood out the most on the Black Album. I can hardly hear Trujillo's bass on Death Magnetic. The bass always seems to get drowned out on most Metallica records. You can hear some of Cliff's bass, but not that much. We all know the bass is there, it just doesn't stand out as much as it could.

[MrRuckasnuckas9000]

@RotnRoll77 -.- every bands needs a bassist

[RotnRoll77]

@MrRuckasnuckas9000 Well duh, dude. I always thought that all those supposed "bassists" after Cliff were only myths. This right here is startling evidence against that notion, however.

[JELITOcz]

@RotnRoll77 Lol, you can hear bass line on every Metallica's album except AJFA.

[DFWTF]

Cliff is dead get over it man

[Paunk8452]

why the fuck everybody still talking about cliff

this guy is by far fits metallica more

[Martyfriedman001]

@Paunk8452 HE dont fit metallica better than Cliff far from Cliff was metallica you asshole!! you have not watched any interviews or any docmentary about metallica talking the old days if you say jason fit metallica better, Jason was perfect man to take over, but far from as good as Cliff.

[DeathDrummer75]

@Martyfriedman001 both of you guys are wrong Jason was the worst thing to happen to Metallica next to cliffs death right after he got there they sold out worst decision in my eyes

[Radgous]

@DeathDrummer75 jason was the 2nd best thing to happen to metalica. he is so under rated and good

[WaRrIoRaLeX95]

look at the bass he uses on the picture, it's an Alembic and look how many pots are there ! I see 8 pots, this bass is a computer.



[Erador]

Jason's tone is phenomenal.

[wdowa94]

@Erador Played with pick- thats cause of so metalic sound

[Erador]

@wdowa94 Well yeah, that and the SansAmp driver.

[xdjoseg]

Kinda good

[bestspeedy953]

i playing along with my guitar!!:)

[vicepedro]

y am chilean

[jredguy]

the bass lines are wrong! everyone who has a god ear knows it!

[shyrowstand]

@jredguy plz tell me where i can actually hear the bass clearly in the early metallica albums plz because i cant hear it clear with my best headphones. n they have a bass boost in them

[dougeblum]

@shyrowstand Actually in songs such as One the bass was pretty quiet in the mix out of respect for Cliff i think. At the very least metallica didn´t wanna go around showing off the new bassist by having his bass real loud in the mixes especially after Cliff´s passing.

[vivmex78]

@dougeblum Lars wanted the bass low in the mix, per one of the engineers.

[katho8472]

@jredguy they're not wrong. the bass is just so low you couldn't it before the introduction of guitar hero and the single track releases. what there is in the tab books and on the net is just an approximation and guessing by other people. THIS is the real deal.

[harrellbugg]

Thanks for posting this.

[MrPLANI]

sadly his bass is so fucking low on the recording

[skvscz]

2:23 to 2:27 anyone tabs please??

[TheDrunkColaDrinker]

@skvscz it is easy just play a B-Powerchord: on the 2nd fret A-string and 4th fret on D and G string 

[guillote174]

@skvscz 1-2-3-4

1-2-3-4

1-2-3-4

 xD

[cypresspuz]

Rob is cool but he will never fill the hole Jason left in Metallica.

[sagerbj86]

@cypresspuz jason's hole is hard to fill. 

[anten71190]

@sagerbj86 his assholes really wide

[Blackmamba136]

sounds badass !  \m/

[kubootv]

@BJ160797 calm down man...

[aassyr1111]

Check my bass cover to this awesome songgg

[mcblahflooper94]

Chris Squire is pick style. 'nuff said.

[Catchaspoon]

Who cares if people play with a pick? Playing an instrument is all about making music and making music is all about making new sounds. They day you limit your musical creativity because you have some stupid mindset about picks of all things. Is the day you should just lay the guitar down, because you're a moron.

[jorge772098]

jason newsted sucks

[Chikakko5]

@jorge772098 fuck u



[311james311]

yeah i dont have a clue why people think playing with a pick matters, a pickis simply about the tone you want to acheive, however that being said i think it's obvious cliff burton is more talented soley due to the fact of how many hit songs he wrote.

[acousticdoug]

hahaha love the arguments... soooo I can play this on tuba:)

[panagiwths100]

guys it the bassists preference to use a pick or his hands and it doesnt matter for example i use my hands cuz i cant make it out with a pick but jason uses a pick and he is a so fucking ecxellent bassist for me and as the guy on the top comments said even if you play with a picece of glass you are a damn bassist

[Hammett937]

Ooooo yeah !

[left4dead427]

CCCCCLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIII­IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WAY DID YOU HAVE TO GO. YOU SHOULD OF LEFT WITH DAVE MUSTAINE AND BEEN IN MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BBombers2425]

@left4dead427 dude fuck you. you don't know how to spell why and you're insinuating that cliff shoulda been in megadeth. megadeth cant even touch metallica

[croock260]

@left4dead427 FUCK YOU! megadeath by far is with luck the half of the half of the half of the half that can be a band that covers metallica! and i'm being good with megadeath...

[CallMehSam]

i thought i was gonna listen to a 5:42 of silence..

[UserOfADown]

@CallMehSam it isnt and justice for all ¬¬

[sloshgfee]

Picks is okay to use  Who cares? but fingers ... for ur mom

[skiiddo]

This makes me miss cliff, where are the epic fills?

[metalzombiebass]

well i play it a little different, goes very along with rhytim guitar.....soon im gonna upload a cover and you people decide is if good or bad....and i dont use tabs -.-"

[theblzzrd]

@FuckTechno66 do you seriously think that's a "hey"? obviously a string sound, come on

[evanparker]

all he does is play 4 notes?! this is horrendous, and sloppy

[Alantime95]

Anyone else noticed that Jason's Bass has too much... Volume controllers?

[R0bb89]

@Alantime95 Yeah the pic seems manipulated or something :D Coz nowadays 4-6 knobs is pretty much max. But that might be an über custom made Aria bass for Jason or something. Like knobs for Hi, Low, Mid, Blend? Master volume, Master Tone. What else can there be?

[metahz]

@R0bb89 The bass on the picture is an Alembic. Jason played them mostly live, and yes they were custom made. The bass you hear on the record is a Spector NS-2 4 string.

[R0bb89]

@metahz Ok thx for the info! That Alembic headstock looks much like the Aria's headstocks.

[oldcomputer666]

How did you isolated the track?

[FuckTechno66]

1:28 did someone heard a ''hey'' in the back ?lol sounds like Bob Rock's voice.

[tickedoffnow]

this is awesome

[infest3d]

such a filthy sound, wish i could get that grimey setup

[theycalledmebob]

jason newsted is better than cliff burton all you 13 year old fanboys that know nothing about playing bass suck my cock

[BBombers2425]

@theycalledmebob alright lets not get crazy here

[AmigoFiell]

free replay button here 0:19

[basslovak]

The Black album has best bass tone ever!!! 

[gageless]

This must've been cleaned up a shitload in the mixdown. Oh wait, it's Metallica. Everything was cleaned up in the mixdown.

[fuckingmetalheadbang]

Jason is fucking great |m|

[athf11]

that's alot of knobs

[keurg]

I think he play on a 5 Strings bass

[zamg0d1]

What bass does he have in the first picture?

[Reniacco]

I wanna learn to play that song as well as jason does. Oh and @WiplashXD i play with both depending on the song and i kinda prefer the pick because it's unique sound

[crocksrock101]

RIP Cliff Burton

[Atreyufolife]

I wish Jason was still with the band hes the cllosest bassist we got to metallica's old stuff.

[jakeolegend]

Jason used to swet alot on stage so he was given water prof basses he's still awesome though. sorry for bad spelling

[EIOURUZ]

jason is the best i like the way he play..

[noneofyourconcern]

does anyone know the equipment Jason used on this album?

[TheWhiskyRebellion]

@noneofyourconcern BASSES: He used a slew of different basses, but the main ones were a 1981 Spector NS-2 4-string (used on the majority of the album for his main bass tone), a Wal Mk 1 4-string (used on songs that needed more of a "chug" bass sound; he used the Wal on "Don't Tread On Me."), 1958 Fender P-Bass (used on songs that needed a more traditional sound; he used the P-Bass on "The Unforgiven")...

[TheWhiskyRebellion]

@noneofyourconcern ...and a Hamer Chaparral 12-string bass (erroneously referred to as a Warwick; Jason used the 12-string bass on minor-key songs for effect, such as the chimey tone on the downbeats of every phrase in the heavy intro in "Wherever I May Roam"). AMPS: Vintage Ampeg SVT heads & 8x10" cabs, a Mesa/Boogie 1x15" cab, a Trace Elliot 2x10" combo for mid-high end tones, an Ampeg Isovent cab (2x10" and a backwards-facing 1x15"), and a Fender folded-horn 1x18" cab.

[noneofyourconcern]

@TheWhiskyRebellion Thanks man, really helpful. :)

[AAAASIF4]

\m/ head crushing.....

[Weibkoln]

what did YOU do then??

[staticCable]

very nice

[HUSoldier01]

Jason is nowhere as good as Cliff RIP

[whiplashDX]

bass players that use picks are weak!!! and thats the truth!!!!

[cliffthelightning]

@whiplashDX No there not... i prefer them actually its all about preference

[whiplashDX]

@cliffthelightning you do notice that this was an opinion right?

[HUSoldier01]

@whiplashDX It depends on the song and tempo you are wanting actually.

[whiplashDX]

@HUSoldier01 true to that

[XxKasekexX]

@HUSoldier01 It has nothing to do with tempo... Just the sound you want, with pick, it's only easier to learn to play fast, when with fingers it's a bit easier to coordinate with the strings when you start. Both have their good sides. most end up with fingers since it sound better with most songs, and doesen't sound so... "sharp" with no other instruments. Usually those who want to go the easy way choose the pick. I know bass players who're faster with fingers than most people are on pick...

[marco7centurion]

@XxKasekexX I'm twice or three times faster playing with my fingers but I prefer playing with a pick...I like that sharp attack that you get naturally with the pick (to get that kind of attack with your fingers you have to go harris' way xd) but maybe it's because I use a lot of guitar techniques and need a pick, or baybe it's just because I learned how to play bass with a pick and don't give a damn what others think :)

[XxKasekexX]

@marco7centurion Wasn't saying that it's bad if you play with pick, just pointing out the good and bad sides (I couldn't write the whole thing hence having limited writing space.)

[lakai958]

look at all those knobs 0_o

[DaveInVein]

I hate how ignorant some people are. Good music is good music. Doesn't matter how hard, easy, soft, or heavy it is. Jason and Cliff were both excellent musicians and thats all that matters. Who gives a shit if you play with flesh or plastic, a musical note doesn't discriminate. And if you disagree with this, your a close-minded prick.

[DTPVH]

@DaveInVein Couldn't have said it better myself. You deserve an award.

[slythe109]

@DaveInVein Actually, fingers and picks have different tones. That is a fact.

[DaveInVein]

@slythe109

True. One is not however superior to the other.

[slythe109]

@DaveInVein Yes, you are correct there. Flea and Cliff have very different styles. I have never seen Cliff (or anyone) play slap bass as fast as flea, but Cliff can freaking shred on a bass! They are both great.

[MrTheAngelofDeath666]

@slythe109 Alex Webster or the bassist of Dying Fetus (who's name eludes me at present) are insane. Also, Andy Saxton is a pretty fast player, but I think he uses a double slap technique? And of course, Les Claypool and his slap cover of MoP are amazing.

[slythe109]

@MrTheAngelofDeath666 All of those are great slap players, but I still think Flea is one of the fastest slap bass players.

[ElectroDuckStudios]

how did you do this?



[KenMacMillan]

I like that you leave the delay in at the beginning.

[CROGrof]

@SJW255 Whatever, James said so. Don't mess Cliff with this, he is legend.

[UserOfADown]

I hate when people say that play with pick is worst. FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!

Pick, fingers, slap, tapping are styles! Put this in your fucking head! Pick, fingers, tapping, slap, they're STYLES.

For me, even if you play with a piece of glass, you're a bassist.

[GreendayversusU2]

@UserOfADown playing with a piece of glass would actually be really hardcore...

[Supaboy000]

@UserOfADown Amen to that.

[CROGrof]

@MrDragonStomp WRONG! Playing with fingers you getting more natural sound. And it sound good, James said to Robert when they accepted him in band that Metallica sound better with him. Just because of his tehnique of playing.

[scarecrow4002]

@CROGrof BULLCRAP! i play bass sometimes, sometimes with my fingers sometimes with a pick that just depends on what song i'm playing this song i would play with a pick, and for whom the bell tolls with my fingers so that's that~!

[tepes22b]

Jason is a beast of a bass player. I miss his attack sometimes in Metallica's live setting.

[LonewolfeE5]

@tepes22b best one i think waz in s&m's minus human

[MaggaraMarine]

@5fdprulze100 They are the most successful metal band (if AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin are not metal and in my opinion they're not). Metallica has sold about 100 million records so they have sold as much as Kiss, Guns 'n' Roses and Scorpions (but those bands are also half-metal so they are more like hard rock). So Metallica is the best selling metal band.

[MaggaraMarine]

Pick bass is cool. I like Jason Newsted and Duff McKagan. And when I play bass I use pick most of the time. I play guitar at home but bass in a band.

[JoeyThe14th]

he's an epic bassist people! and @CROGrof saying that just makes you a loser cos it implies that you're not a very versatile player

[CROGrof]

Robert Trujillo is best!! Jason is not a real bassist he is playing with pick.WHAT A LOSER.

[MaggaraMarine]

@CROGrof Trolling? I don't like Trujillo because I don't think he belongs to Metallica. He's not a Metallica guy. And he looks like a monkey. He might be a good bassist (and he is) but I prefer Cliff and Jason. They might not be as skillful as Trujillo but I still prefer them. And Jason was the most accurate bassist in Metallica. He played very accurately.

[Zip2461996]

@CROGrof you re a motherfucking loser because you compare bassists at the way they play not the sound they give. And those three kept metallica up all those years making the most successful metal band in history. So fuck off.

[CROGrof]

@Zip2461996 I love Metallica more than you can emagine you fucking dickhead.

[Zip2461996]

@CROGrof respect their bassists and its IMAGINE

[spike007980]

anyone have any idea what bass is that in the picture?

[spoofproductions100]

Notice how the quality of bassists has gone down?

Cliff Burton- LEGEND

Jason Newstead- Really Good

Robert Trujillo- Okay

[Stifflerai]

Wouldn't possible attempt to wade in on Bass wars, but Jason was a far better singer than Rob!

[jameslego1824]

jason sucks......cliff was the legend....robert is 92% legend

[Karthadasht]

@jameslego1824 and you're a 200 % pussy

[LibertyCityMayhem95]

@jameslego1824 newstead kicks the shit out of ape-face trujillo

[BBombers2425]

probably the most underappreciated bassist ever

[Basketalbi]

@BBombers2425

probably the most overhyped bassist ever.

[bullsnake70]

@Basketalbi Agreed.

[BBombers2425]

@Basketalbi where was the hype?

[robdelabassist]

@BBombers2425 i appreciate jason newsted, my mate doesn't like him only cos of his stage presence :S I think Metallica were assholes for how they treated jason when he first joined Metallica

[BBombers2425]

@robdelabassist hazing happens everywhere, you just gotta deal with it. but his stage presence was ight. hes better when hes doing lead vocals

[panagiwths100]

@BBombers2425 yes but fucking why ?

[BBombers2425]

@panagiwths100 because back then they were big hair 20 something year olds who just didnt give a fuck

[Nirvana96kidfly]

@BBombers2425 maybe the most underappreciated bassist is Krist Novoselic from Nirvana...

[BBombers2425]

@Nirvana96kidfly a debate worthy of a video?

[Nirvana96kidfly]

@BBombers2425 Yeah, lol

[BBombers2425]

@Nirvana96kidfly go for it

[riley8377]

@Nirvana96kidfly no he is appreciated alot

(well by me he is)

[Nirvana96kidfly]

@riley8377 I appreciate him, too

[AdlerMow]

@BBombers2425 No, it not. Look at the numbers of views. Sad, because almost no one but bass players know his talent (people look at Anesthesia and think "what did you mean, its not guitar?"). I have to said, the probably most underrated is Martin Turner, from the (old) Wishbone Ash. Search for FUBB, Handy, You Rescue Me, Ballad of the Beacon and heard with your own ears! But, as a word of warning, if you do probably he'll be your new standart to measure against! Cheers!

[BBombers2425]

@AdlerMow my point is that people look at metallica and hear cliff burton and go - omg he's the best. they look at rob trujillo and go - omg he's like cliff. people hear the songs jason wrote and go - that song has bass? im saying that people don't realize how great a bassist he was, or how he never got to write on a metal album (he didnt write on AJFA at all). i don't know who you're talking about; ill look him up. but i dont see myself jumping off the metallica bandwagon anytime soon

[AdlerMow]

@BBombers2425 Nor i will! I love metallica and seriously, they were never the same again after his death! He was always coming up with new ideas (see Call of Ktulu, Orion, For Whom The Bell Tolls). They downed the volume of Jason in AJFA 'cause they want to send a clear (rude) mensage to him: "You'll never replace Cliff!". Martin Turner, as far as i know, never used distortion to sound like guitar, just plain bass (not trolling anyone). He was the leading force behind them, just like Burton was.

[BBombers2425]

@AdlerMow the hugeness of metallica amplified people hating jason

[TheRock21st]

is this the offcial bass line?



[xDoppler44x]

@TheRock21st

yes. it's the bass line he played on the studio record :)

[RottingHands]

God that that tone is annoying. They turned down Les Claypool for this smuck? Christ...

[xDoppler44x]

@RottingHands

I don't think so... fits perfect to the other instruments and overall sound.

Les Claypool has a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT style... he wouldn't have fit into Metallica.

[Mr2002yz85]

Cliff Burton is my hero alecccisbest lol we all like different people i guess. :)

[Ballweg01]

LOVE IT!!!!

Metallica 4 Ever!!!!

[scribeable]

this is gutar hero

i have no clue whatsoever, about whats good bass playing and whats bad.. but this is awesome! people saying jason sucked is obviously stupid.

[jake92195]

Why does everyone ask for tabs? Don't use tablature. Learn it by ear.

[RagingConza281]

all i can say is they were all good every bass player metallica has ever had has been good and i am learning bass myself and i idol them all because they were all brilliant everyone of them had a seperate sound and all the sounds sounded good so yeah

[WarRooM2011]

no bass player is better than the other. its all about style. Jason, Cliff, Rob... ALL GREAT in their own right, or else they wouldnt be in the most successful metal band of all time. I mean there are so many more bassist that are great, but never better than the other, Les Claypool, Flea, Feildy, COME ONE ALL GREAT in there own way. As a bass player i look up to any bass player, we all can learn from each other. Oh and also... GO BIG 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iamafreebird100]

Can u stop sAying cliff wuz insane we get he is good jeeezzz and stop the argument with a pick on bass gimme one reason y u can't use a pick Jason in my opinion is better

[thedarkprince101]

@iamafreebird100 Cliff wasn't better then Jason and Jason wasn't better then Cliff. Why? Because They play bass their own way. And thats what makes them both better :P

[RADMAN420]

your a dumbass jason newstead is a fuckin bum how dare you even compare him to cliff

[thedarkprince101]

@RADMAN420 Dude shut the fuck up. Seriously this argument is going no where. And its the internet not everyone is going to give a fuck.

[83destruction]

@thedarkprince101 EXACTLY and you know what? they were good enough do be apart of metallica so they're good enough for me.

[ColaFan101]

@iamafreebird100 if you think jason is better than cliff, you dont deserve to play bass
