  • CLIFF IS HAVE MAGIC FINGERS RIP IN PEACE

  • Yes you didnt let him down brother long live Cliff...

  • watch?v=kLfW7BlXux0&feature=re­lated

  • "It's just us doing what we do...lets keep it that way" Metallica would be so different if Cliff were still alive

  • Robs a humble guy aswell. Can't see why people dont like him. Ok, it takes time to get adjusted to his gorilla moves, but that still doesnt tell anything about his bass skills. Just listen this bassline on Suicide & Redemption, wicked stuff.

  • @zwareshag best part, despite his gorilla moves AND his headbanging (or headfanning xD) he plays perfect! He uses all four fingers to pluck, is as fast as Cliff if not faster. How is that not good! Amen to what you said bro!

  • 25 years dead 2day never forgotten, a true fucking legend all us bass players know who is the god of bass and that has to be cliff !!!

  • @trevtrickster yep i agree. Once Cliff passed away I personally think Metallica was never the same. Rob has helped big time, but Cliff was on whole different level. How would Metallica be today if Cliff was still alive? R.I.P Cliff.

  • @gennaro2004 How would Metallica be if Cliff was still alive? Well for starters, they wouldn't suck like they do now! Lol. And second, Hetfield and Ulrich wouldn't be the pretentious douchebags they are now, because Cliff controlled that band and had his thumb down on the 2 of them! I was a Freshman in High School, living just outside of SF, when Cliff died in 86'. I still remember it to this day, because in 86' we still considered Metallica one of "our" bands. So sad what they are now.

  • @Rahan482 jaja WTF?? good joke... ellefson wouldn't even breathe the same air that CLIFF... even dave mustaine kick your ass if hear you say that stupid thing jaja

  • @Rahan482 i like megadeth more than metallica but david saddly sosent compare to THE bell bottom bass god CLIFF BURTON

  • Comment removed

  • Cliff was the heart and soul of 1980s Metallica. I know that Bob Rock is often credited (or derided) for changing the direction of the band, but I think Cliff's death was real catalyst.

  • Cliff was the best bass player in Metallica ever!Hell yeah!!!!

  • i love what rob says :)

  • Its wonderful how a bassist of the skill and ability and position of Rob Trujillo, the Bassist of the biggest Heavy Metal Band in the history, is so humble and accepts Cliff as much much greater than him, and feels that yes, he has to fit in HIS shoes, that he is filling in for him, that he has to live up to his expectations. Rob all the way man, amazing bassist, amazing guy

  • subtituloos!!!

  • Nice footage, man-really makes me remember why I started playing the 4-string, even though currently a 5. :-P

  • Even with the sadness in that comes with this video, I couldn't help but to laugh at "Bend Over" around 1:20

  • when i die i want TO LIVE IS TO DIE in my funeral

    

  • Esse cliff é bagual! Tu não acha Nêgo véio?

  • if theres a asshole megadeth fan that still believes in the rivalry and he says cliff deserved it ''KNOCK HIM RIGHT THE FUCK OUT''

  • @dethshred356 he wouldnt be a true megadeth fan and dave mustaine would really not appreciate a comment like that by one of his fans he was good friends with cliff

  • cliff with the rickenbacker

  • did cliff only play bass or did have any kind of experience playing other instruments to me this is the first tragedy in heavy metal

  • @slipknot789able

    He also played classical piano and he was learning to play guitar before he died. When he was younger he wanted to play the guitar and his dad went out and got him a 2nd guitar, it was a big guitar and it was the only one his dad could find. Turned out it wasn't a guitar, it was a bass guitar and the rest is history.

  • Fuck..Why did he have to die, why couldnt it be the stupid fuckin bus driver..

  • rob and jason have kept the legend going but cliff was just an amazing bass player i still think all 3 of the are great tho

  • damn i like rob and jason, but cliff the most. his skills are so increnible, so unique

  • 5:38 - 5:50 its sounds like a beaver getting fuckt XD!

    (its a waesome solo!! dont get me wrong! it just sounds funny to the music :P)

  • robs good, but its kinda the same way like with jason, when cliff died jason took his place and it didnt seem right, same with rob and jason

  • @tr3y221 Rob Is a total Fit man, He was perfect to join. My first concert was metallica suicidal tendencies & fight, But seeing rob back in suicidal opening for metallica that whole show was the most awesome show ever, (and also was the show that prompted laws changing in my state limiting concerts decibel levels (boo ) ) but i remember suicidal was totally awesome the were all jumping around stage hulking and acting insane just like rob does it was the best show ever.

  • @RastaSoulJAH420 yeah hes a good replacement but its like trying to replace a dog, if that makes sense it just wont be the same, but he is good and hes pretty cool

  • What's the name of the song on 4:42???

  • @MisterGodfather1 "To Live is To Die"

  • @TheBlackwoolf Thanks that song is awesome!

  • Hahaha, bend over.

  • "I won't let you down my brother, I won't let you down". :(

  • @10laughungtears i can hear cliff in rob playing i swear

  • Hetfield's laugh has never changed

  • Cliff's voice...

  • whats the song at 5:00 secs? RIP CLIFF

  • @tommW13 to live is to die

  • Bend over!

  • To Live Is To Die is such a beautiful song.

  • I have alot of respect for rob after wat he said bout Cliff tht honestly brought a smile to my face

  • after what rob said....i have a total new respect for him...

  • big 4 in 1 month :)

  • ''I won't let you down, my brother'' how you can you not love Rob. And Jason, they are ALL metallica. Rob,James,Jason,Lars,Dave,Rob M,Kirk,Cliff

  • "Bend over." Loool, Cliff RULEZ! :D

  • Cliff Fucking Burton \m/ Enough said

  • 4:38 WHOS A SEXY BITCH

  • u see... i feel like hes still alive... whenever i hear any of the first three albums of metallica it feels as if cliff is literally alive :O... is that weird?

  • @lowercase18 no! i like when we hapilly talk about cliff and events like they just happened, fills like hes still alive :P

  • @ragnaroksama i know right!... whaen i saw metallica i was like alright imma see em LIVE... and i was thinking james, lars ,kirk n cliff.... then i was oh wit hes been "gone" for 20+ years!!!....

  • cool vid, thx for the up.

  • Thumbs up of you cried while watching this !

  • Cliff didn't deserve to be with Metallica. His riffs were either like normal guitar riffs but more heavy and grungy or super brutal "normal" bass riffs but everyone pays attention to his solos. His riffs weren't meant to be such a background thing like Metallica made them, he should have been louder in many songs.

  • The legend,the man,the one,the greatest = Clifford Lee Burton \m/

  • Great Video man! I love how you made the end, especially! A bass solo in To Live is To Die would have been so awesome...

  • bend over :D

    that was about the funniest thing ever

  • Ellefson + Burton = two of the greatest bass players of all time...

  • May not the kingdom of salvation take me home

  • ellefson sucks burton's dick

  • all these words about cliff are tottally true, he was the God of bass...

    but now let us talk about jason leaving metallica...well terrible mistake, jason was a real mother fucker when playing on stage...he was a badass...and to be replaced by that monkey roberto fucking trujillo? that is insane. Roberto is not a good bass player he randomly rapes the instrument

  • @damnaxl You don't think Trujillo is a good bass player? Look up Suicidal Tendencies' "Asleep at the Wheel".

    Then try to say that.

  • @damnaxl could not agree with you more

  • "BEND OVER"

    Cliff was fuckin' hilarious.

  • EXcELLENT

  • cliff burton was to powerful to live, i play anesthesia every fucking day its not even close to his sound, fucking bass god man.

  • To Live is to Die...

  • fuck yeah cliff rocks the world

  • miss you cliff!!!

  • uh man ciff shouldnt have died it should have been Xheyo

    jajajajajajajajajajaja

  • Awesome video. Who are the three flaming faggots who gave it thumbs down??

  • @Doomzdayxx - I could say that Dave Mustaine was one of them. xD

  • @NejiHyuga900 That or the remaining members in Trauma : /

  • dude cliff sounds like a nice guy

  • cliff wow what an insane bass player!....like Eddy van halen on a bass guitar...

  • Can't help but feel that Cliff was a surreal, out of this world person...the way he plays is so incredible that sometimes I doubt he even existed..

    Robert Trujilio is probably the best base player in the world at this time..but he doesn't even come close to touching Cliffs fantastic talent.

  • fuck jaco fuck victor fuck geddy fuck jones fuck every one who ever try to be a great bass player. Cliff tje one and only best bass player in the fucking history of the world till now and till fucking ever !!!!!!!

  • @masterofjokers Jaco, Victor, Geddy and Jones ARE great bass players, so your comment is pretty fucking ridiculous.

  • MEtalica will never have another bassist such as Clifford Lee Burton. May you rest in peace may metallica live on, Rock on metal fans

  • I wish I could talk to Cliff like that dude did about 1:00

  • This made me cry, I am a huge Metallica fan, probably one of the biggest in the world! I am a passionate fan of Kirk but Cliff really was talented, anesthesia is the BEST!! Newsted was ok, he played a great solo on the Live shit box set and their Justice album blew us all away, but I still think Rob has a solid sound. Rob is really good! I went to the Death Magnetic tour this year and when they played Orion that was the best> RIP Cliff Burton our hearts are with you!!

  • Cliff Burton you fukin legend I want you back on Earth If I was James Hetfield on that night that Cliff died I would of murdered that bus driver

  • @Jordo1900 I know it sucks man, but also on the other hand, if Kirk would have won the bed Cliff did on the bus, he would've died instead of Cliff, not saying either or is better, both would suck and one definately does for sure =( RIP Cliff Burton.

  • that is the closest i hav come to crying by a youtube video especially robs part

  • And...Rob has kept to his word. He has not let Cliff down...Im sure if Cliff was looking down he would be like "fuck yeah"

  • @WayneWiblin fuck yea dude. Rob is absolutely fantastic. Not only is he an amazing bass player, he's also a great and respectable guy. Cliff would definitely be proud. Jason is also a total badass. RIP Cliff

  • @FrozenFire757

    Exactly.

    (+1)

  • Cliff burton inspire me.

    Hi Cliff !!

  • He's part of the reason why I began playing bass. RIP Cliff.

  • @paytizzle He's the whole reason why I play bass and I know once you hear him he's an inspiration to all bass guitar players

    Rip cliff

  • @paytizzle hes my entire reason i play bass now. soon i will get a rickenbacker similar to his and god damn it i will play his style one day

  • clifff por siempre

  • R.I.P...Cliff Burton is the bestests bass player in the world and some b1tch called a buss ( who invented them ???? ) took him away! ='( i gotta say is : Cliff 'em All !!!!!!

  • BURTON.YEAH!

  • burton is overvalued....

  • @ruchoso gtfo then

  • CLIFF U ARE MY IDOL FOR SURE!

  • Cliff'em ALL ...... Check out his first band "TRAUMA"

  • Cliff'em ALL ...... Master Merlin.

  • Cliff'em ALL ...

  • I forgot to mention that if you're talented, you're destined to die young in accidents

  • Cliff was beyond being talented, he was a phenomenon! Sometimes I think that in the heavy metal world, if your too talented, you're destined to die.....Cliff, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag...It's all bad karma.....

  • wow dave is such an asshole glad they kicked em out

  • @rangerinthehood dave is not an asshole he love cliff as much as any one else but he did had a big ego back then

  • @rangerinthehood you just now figured that out? lol

  • excellent footage. thanks for sharing. /\/\etallic/-\ forever

  • i wonder wat it would have been like if every1 in metallica died :O

  • @casey19971 WELL MUSIC WOULD SUCK ALOT MORE NOW A DAYS..but we cant forget Motorhead,Manowar,Anthrax,Slay­er,Disturbed,System of a down,Korn,Five finger death punch,Slipknot,Sabton,Dethklok­,Rammstein,Ozzy,Rob zombie...Dio,Iron maiden,Lamb of god,Black label society,Def leopard,Motley crue....but in my state of mind METALLICA IS KING OF THEM ALL

  • Cliff was the heart of Metallica, period.

  • What's the song at 5:27?

  • @CreepingMetallica91 To Live Is To Die

  • Comment removed

  • 0:18 You can obviously tell he had already jumped in the fire because his hair looked like whiplashes

  • Very nicely done man, its hard to watch that without gettin a lump in the throat.

  • "Man, that`s a heavy guitar, and than we looked again, dude, that`s not a guitar, that`s a Bass!"

  • rob hasnt let down cliff either rob has been amazing for metallica a worthy replacement

  • @ivoryffc Way better than Jason in my oppinion...

  • very tastefully put together, props.

  • Man...My mom got to meet Cliff Burton once...I wish I coulda met him. =/

  • 3:38 - 3:48

    Is Cliff looks like Pau Gasol from Lakers or it's just me ?

    R.I.P. Cliff

  • who can dislike this.. he was so amazing on the bas...

    R.I.P Cliff Burton

  • I was always confused as to why people hated all the albums after justice for all. Metallica is artistic, and just doing the same thing over and over again is stale and boring. Look at nickleback. All their shit is the same and it sucks. Nobody gives the new stuff a chance because it isn't "heavy." There is more to metallica then just "heavy." Its emotional, real, full-hearted music that is more then just "I wanna kill something." Its true music, music that inspires emotion.

  • @666ELEMENTFACE666 That's true,I think black album rules,load and reload are good but st.anger is shit in most songs.Led Zepellin aren't heavy and they are one of the best bands

  • @hugopereira14 I thought St. Anger was awesome. Sure, the production value wasn't up to par, but if you can find your way through the roughness, you find their most emotional album to date. St. Anger is wild, unpredictable and bashes and screams in the face of musical norms. Although, I miss Kirk's solos in that album =(

  • Trujillo is friends with (and Cliff was friends with) Mike Gordon? bassist from Phish? that's awesome unless he's talking about another Mike Gordon

  • @D119heavy - they're talking about Mike Bordin, from Faith No More.

  • @Samjew Damn for real?

    . . . Now that I've just listened to it again I can tell you're right. I knew it was a long shot for them to be buddies with Mike Gordon I couldn't believe my ears the first time I listened to this, I just thought that maybe it was possible since all 3 of those dudes are totally badass bassists, albeit Mike G is in a pretty different genre. Bordin makes 100% more sense, thanks for droppin' some knowledge on me.

  • what if cliff would still be alive????i think that maybe he would have seen the shit thats happening he would move alone to a mountain and stay there staring at the people laughing!!RIP CLIFF!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God bless Cliff Burton.... :'(

  • the only metallica albums I really like are the ones cliff played on. The only exception being "and justice for all" that one's not too bad. but cliff was the man. plus he always repped Misfits shirts

  • @BreakingGlass77 not too bad haha what a poser dude

  • @BreakingGlass77 i stopped listening to metallica after they made kill em all,

  • @JDilla2812 priceless. fuckin A

  • @undertablue lol, thanks for understanding the sarcasism in the comment

  • @BreakingGlass77 cliff was on "and justice for all," and he was a main influance of the progression of that label.

  • @bigbobboi Jason Newsted played on "...And Justice For All".

  • @BreakingGlass77 i know, cliff had writing credits for and justice is what i meant.

  • @BreakingGlass77 totally agree with you bro!!!!

  • Imagine how different things would have been for 'tallica if Cliff was alive today? 'Justice and 'Black album may have been completely different, maybe even heavier!!! If Cliff was around when 'Load' and 'ReLoad' were going on I think he would of said "Fuck this weak ass shit" and walked

  • @bradderzpartridge however, metallica themselves have said that Cliff was into all styles of music and that he would of been all for doing "Load" / "Re-Load" stuff. however, he would of spat all over the image for that era and swore lots :)

  • @PureFuckinHeavyMetal

    that is true but i saw an old interview/documentary saying that cliff left the his band trauma because they were getting "mainstream" so i have to believe that they would have stayed heavy like forever.

  • Amazing video. Thx so much for posting. IM just pissed it took me this long to find it

  • it is always the great ones who have a non self destructive death. I have no respect for those who died from their own hand and be compared to those whom were truly great.

  • "I won´t let you down my brother, I won´t let you down!" =´(

  • When Rob talked about Cliff...

    I started crying !!

  • @DoubleRainbow00 that´s what gays do, don´t worry...

  • @cuadraniel what did you mean exactly?

    If you meant that I'm gay.. You're wrong, I'm a girl.

    if I'm wrong, I'm sorry lol

  • The whole video gave me goosebumps, but the "I won't let you down, buddy" part brought tears to my eyes. Holy shit.

  • greatest bass player ever...a true visionary

  • the greatest bassist to me!!!!!!

  • the guy who did the thumbs down must be dave mustaine

  • the one guy who disliked this should jump in the fire!

  • despite how AMAZING cliff is, has anyone else noticed that hes a double denim offender? lol

  • this is so good cliff manm you are a BEAST!!!!!!!!! some people are cristians some are jews some are muslims and so on and on my faith is METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what's the music in 3:53?

    Please tell me

    thanks

  • @alvinhogoalkeeper To Live is To Die

  • @alvinhogoalkeeper to live is to die!!!
