same

Me too

yeah man

same here \m/

appreciated!!

Rob B. For sure. They even used some of his ideas on ...And Justice For All, which I thought was really nice and touching. He was the greatest man.

That Guitar Guy he was talented for sure I see it like this.. cliff = best albums... jason = most profitable albums... rob = worst era of the band... lmao

Load/reload era was the worst era of the band. Death Magnetic and Hardwired is much better than load and reload, not to mention st.anger. The first album with rob revived Metallica from the load/reload era.

deez Nutz I liked load.. the new stuff has less depth to it.. just fast and plain... IMO

AHDBW on which songs did they use hid ideas To live is to die is an homage to him he didnt contribute

It's bootleg

It's a potato

No, it was shitty then as well

I like the fact it looks shitty though, it gives the video culture so you know its old.

@@stosley7486 you were def born in 05

It's 30, you can fuck it, but not before me! :P

Load Game I'll beat you too it!

ZZGTAV RANDOMSZZ Yeah! And he wasn't there! I went to Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame and I borrowed it! We had some good time!

I swear your in the comments of every live anesthesia performance

I think that bass was younger than the rickenbastard so I dunno

He’s dead he doesn’t know that you exist

@@uniquestefanjeez bro. wtf

@@uniquestefanholy shit man damn

Cliff played guitar with his bass the same way James plays drums with his guitar

Cliff forever

Does this mean that i cant properly play this part with a metronome or im just not good yet

Actually I’m hearing 3/4, but I might be wrong.

@@drianhoxha5595 yeah i hear 3/4 too. But i think he just used the clapping as the metronome so it's not that difficult.

@@tomashudak3641 Bingo! But it can be hard for someone who is newer to music, then again some people have better rhythm and Cliff was a natural.

@@drianhoxha5595 you can hear any rythm you want, if you divide it in 3/4 you will hear 3/4, if you divide it in 4/4 you will hear 4/4, the same with 7/4 or another rythmic patterns, but only works in this case because of the clapping do you don’t hear the first beat

man Cliff plays it like it isn't even a bass

Plays it like he is lead bass guitar

* Jaco Pastorius

the only real bass

Toxic Megadeath fans that don't listen to metallica

What did everyone think??

You were a golden God then and you still are now, sally forth and enjoy life

Hispanic AtTheDisco Probably would have been more "Load"ey

We all would.

S&M would have likely happened earlier

Personally, I would prefer to hear rather than see the songs :P

It's easier on bass

tapping on a bass is a b!tch. it's one of the only reasons I can't get Anesthesia down.

GabrielWithoutWings Fuck man I gave up and just played the harmonics as regular notes

Cliff played 6-8 hour a day since 13 years of age bro, keep on playin and you'll achieve the same results.

It’s easier on bass lol. Harmonics are significantly weaker on guitar

Yup, that was his influence by classical music. I noticed a classical music sound at 1:10

13Drumsticks haha yeah Cliff was fucking insane.

and untill you hear classical music in it

Rob is really good, but it just never feels as natural as it did with Cliff. It never will. He just put his soul into it.

Rob only feels forced when he's playing stuff he didn't write

Is force to make sure he doesn’t fuck it up since is cliffs solo

well yeah, it's very hard for somebody to truly feel the instrument. Cliff just knew how to be one with the instrument

You have no clue how godly Jason and Rob are in their own ways. Whether their playing the first 3 albums or ones they had a part it’s still better than anyone else could’ve done it and certainly you. Listen to Jason on Flotsam and Jetsam and tell me he is an untalented bassist writing songs at the age of like 18. Jason was held back by the band while rob and cliff had some more breathing room

+Barley Mob That is sooooo true!!!!!

We're the lucky ones! :D

Angelo D' Andrea it's true. Also nice Iron Maiden reference

ALL THE EVIL SEEMS TO LIVE FOREVER !!!

+raul suazo so was cliff :D

+raul suazo fuck you

+raul suazo lars hater.. go cry to ur mama..

+raul suazo Agreed He ain't the best but damn dyers eve

Richard Tipton he was the best ! he didint kept the tempo or blast away with tchnike he COMPOSED his drumming to weave with the neo classical arrengements of James and Cliff his drumming is an integral part of the songs ,he teached everyone after him how it was done, fury, power and most important of all IMAGINATION,,,time makes ruins of us all, but the work he left behind is timeless,,,METALLICA rules dude!!!

You did notice how this was 1986, right?

Jason Waite You did realize that was a joke

Jason Waite Ya, it was just a joke XD

HAHAHAHAH... good joke.

Juan Reyes damn like xD

he would've done a 100 neck surgeries from his headbanging lol

Re-bumping for year 32. RIP Cliff.

Si ಥ﹏ಥ

Siempre estará en nuestros corazones :''3

Human Foxy The Pirate descanse en paz uwu

Chi

murio como fue un heroe

Shut up jimmy nutrin And yes, he is.

Man, shut up. I wish none of them died

Tristan Havrilak lol Tristan is a pusscake soy boy name

Tiger Blake he's probably using a whammy pedal to get the octave up or something similar

iNK It's called artificial harmonics.

Shawn Richards just wah then?

iNK In my opinion, yes but I could be wrong. I don't play bass. I'm not sure if they even had octave changing equipment back then.

iNK It must be Tube screamer maybe ibanez808 and Morley power wah fuzz pedal .

Andyw1228 yes. Lars was most likely coked out of his mind and nervous, but Cliff adapted like a trooper. Probably gave Lars shit after the show, Lol

Back in the day when metal edge magazine was still around i read an article about james having to stop and walk over to lars and tell him to slow down. Lars admitted he was nervous in the first years they played and he would speed up to help with the anxiety.

@@austingrunig5183 yeah, Lars had not played for long here, and These other guys were proffesional musicians, plus he played for thousands of people. So when he would Get nervous, he would Get fast.

Lars was/is trash. Lol

The closest thing would of course be Rob but imo(specificly for this song) Rob goes a bit too fast while Cliff took it slower to enjoy the moment and then get all thrashy.There is also the different sounding of the guitars of wich i still kinda prefer Cliff's melodic tune.

and i would not say noone...and would not say like a guitar lol...his tone is not that guitar like really...its cold and smooth and different(more guitar like in early years) but his solos were half inspired by classical instruments like cello or organ or piano and pieces for them, not for guitar...yet second part of solo with drums was guitar like shredd...but there are others, billy sheehan, chris wyse...all great players...but cliff is my favourite as well

also he didnt play like guitar all the time..most of the time it was low punchy growling rumbling bass...taken from us way too early..wish he was still alive..

+And Justice For Tijn I specifically meant in this video & I sed he PLAYED the bass like it was a guitar i didnt say he made it SOUND like a guitar. .read ppl read before you know it alls put your unnecessary 2cents in

+Marijan Barać i dont mean the tone i mean the way he PHYSICALLY played obviously the tones arent the same..

Max Willson i

Metallica died when Cliff died

LuckyBearBassist • nah man they still had a few good shit. And Justice for all, despise being “bass unfriendly”, is still very good, so as the black album. When Jason left, then RIP Metallica

riot lion brilliant, legendary comment

Same.

Shut up. Listen to animals as leaders or periphery

Karl Chavez Lars and Hetfield have actually written almost all of Metallica's songs. Lyrics almost all hetfield. Drums and guitar and song structure Lars and Hetfield. So yeah, I know what you mean that a band should work as a band but what you say is not really true.

Ya that's now. When Cliff was around, he was most definitely part of the writing process. Songs like Call of Ktulu, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Master of Puppets and Orion, you can really hear his influence. Metallica's only bass solo on any of their albums came from Cliff. I know Hetfield and Lars wrote a lot of the songs but when Cliff left, so did any other of their bass players getting in any input at all. In Cliff's day, they would at least say sometimes "let me hear what you got on bass" but now, nothin. Outside of And Justice for All, their music became extremely bland and their bassist creative absence really shows. What's the point in creating new music with a musician as talented as Rob or Jason if you are just going to write boring and bland garbage. Because they can play the old stuff? Outside Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth, any professional can play the "old stuff" so why not hire one them if you are going to write Godsmack-esq, tasteless horseshit? What partially made Metallica great back in the day was their complex songs and a big part of that was on bass, regardless of who wrote it.

@ Paul Devereaux, I got the last comment you posted but it came up as spam? Now it won't let me unspam for some reason. God damn KZfaq went to crap after google bought it. Anyways, I like the Black Album too but man did they tone it down a bit on the complexity of their songs. I learned Enter Sandman and Sad but True within hours to give an example and I'll be the first to tell you that I'm nothing special on bass.

Yeah, KZfaq is quite shitty these days. It is true, there is not much complexity on the Black Album. At least nothing like Master of Puppets or AJFA. Still most of the songs have an amazing sound and the album still has this raw feeling. For me they lost that feeling (rawness) after the Black Album. I cannot blame them though, as musicians you get older and you wanna try other stuff.

Load and reload was James taking a back seat in the creative process

Rob is sick man.

***** agreed i started liking him this year a lot more than before.His skills grew a ton and he plays pretty good with the rest of the band.Two things i don't like though, is that he isn't a creative and unique player and that his backing vocals need a lot of work.

Yeah, he's no Geddy Lee, that's for sure.

Trujillo did great job when he was playing at Infectious Grooves & Suicidal Tendencies.

Yeah. Pre 86 metallica is one of the acts i will never be able to see. Along with iron maiden cover band slayer, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pantera, Black Sabbath (with ozzy), Dio, 1990 Megadeth, and Guns and Roses. Very very sad, but im sure ill have the pleasure of seeing someone future generations cant. Like maiden and megadeth!

Dang. The one that didn't take his own life. What an amazing musician
