CLIFF BURTON'S LAST SONG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2013
- Cliff Burton was one of the best bass players ever. He was a big part of Metallica. He taught James about harmonies. He went to college for music. He practiced 8 hours a day. He could play bass with his fingers faster than most on an electric guitar. His death was a tragic one, which greatly effected James, Kirk, and Lars. His life was too short, like an unfinished song. Rest in peace.

Thanks to Jason for playing this at the best metallica concert ever.
That's why I think this is bullshit, I don't think this is cliff
@@rockstoneballs cliff wrote it
Cliff wrote it, Jason played it in loving memory
Always remember that cliff was killed in a tour travel….. Jason admire him💔
In wich concert was played?
Non metal people: "I only listen to metal when I need to wake up"
Me: "i go to sleep to metal "
Same here. It soothes my mind and soul.
Man, cliff wrote his own requiem like mozart, what a genius
This song is spiritual.
more like bach, an old friend of his said in a interview that cliff thought mozart was a pussy 😂 what a legend
hm never thought about it that way.. , thx
This is basically "To Live is to Die" and to hear it in this form is amazing. Thank you
This is the part of the song that cliff wrote before he died. R.I.P Cliff
I noticed it immediately, but took a little longer for me to realize that the title was referring to Cliff’s death
Near the end of "To Live is to Die" you can actually hear James softly reading a poem Cliff wrote. The last line of that poem was etched onto his gravestone. You think this was sad before? How about now?
@@nielstielemans7913 the entire song is just the 5 stages of grief over Cliff's death
@@SoulTwinky It really is. I've watched the Metallica domentary from 2001 (not sure tho, it's not some kind of monster though) and the part where they discuss Cliff's death always has me welling up..... I was born in 2002 and didn't start listening until I was 16 and I still always well up at that
Pop fans: metal is just screaming
Me : idiots
some motherfuckers: metal is satanic music
Me: idiots
@@huseyinerdicelik8935 yea
Pop fans are a bunch a pussys and don’t know what real music is and all they do is listen to the same 4 chords and they don’t even know it clowns

Oh ffs, “pOp BaD mEtAl GoOd”
Y’all are such morons i kinda feel bad for you
Cliff was ranked Officially as #4 best Bassists of all time.
#3 was Geddy Lee
#2 Geezer Butler
#1 Steve Harris
Cliff was 23 when he died, I guarantee he'd be ranked #1 today if he was still alive.
But to have those 3 ahead of him is still a massive honor to him.
Shows just how good he was.
R.I.P. Cliff you will forever be #1 in my heart.
On rolling stones he's ranked 9th (wish he was higher) but Harris and butler are not above geddy or cliff, no chance
@@Yourd4d Geezer is immensely talented. God tier tbh. I would say Cliff was better but Geezer is ridiculous.
24*. Born in February, died in September.
Ranking just in metal . Cause Pastorius and a lot better bassists in jazz and other stylus.
@@Yourd4d Both Harris and Butler are above Cliff for sure. Cliff was good at making the bass sound like a lead guitar, but was lacking in the rhythm department.
For some reason I find this more depressing then any other music
Ikr
Because you know the situation behind it
@@pepsi3005 that makes sense actually
Now the time i write this comment today Feb 10 is Cliff's birthday and it's more sadder when you listen to this song on his birth/death day
@@Mihail2304 fuck.
It's a lot sadder when listening it on his birthday and deathday.
David Monroy now that you kind of say it I feel like I’m gonna be sadder. I was born in 2006 September 18th so that’s kind of weird. I was born almost 20 years after his death
@@quadirmiller609 I was born 9/14/04
every time i listen it makes me want to jack-off
27/09/19, 33 years today
i was born on 28/September/05, one day after his death (without counting years)
Cliff was the talent in Metallica
Cliff was the brain in Metallica
Cliff wrote the better songs
Cliff was a big part of Metallica
Cliff was The Reason for and is Metallica.
@@introvertedhuman1776 agree 👍
If Cliff didn't exist Metallica wouldn't be that good
@@Mihail2304 imagine if cliff lives
Couldn't have said it better myself
Cliff Burton's soul was too old and that's why he died so young.
nice profile picture
@@noahdunn3940 dude, same? Nice pfp
It was the bus drivers fault cliff died…
@@calvinmcpherson6880 dont blame him, it must just fate
@@PsychedelicMakai cliff is gone… what would you do?
I got to see them with Cliff three times and I briefly met him once. He was a great guy and played it like he loved it.
I feel fortunate that I got to see them with Cliff also. They were opening for Ozzy.
u guys are so lucky
It would be amazing if you did something and it prevent Cliff Burton from dying.
Lucky! Born 19 years too late!
@@BigTony-bf5jr i am born 12 years ago. too late
It's clear now why Heitfield, Lars and Hammett miss him so badly.....he was the musical genius behind all of it.
Maybe they also miss him because he was their close friend ? Fucking dumbass
Angel Flores thx
He learned how to play classical guitar and music theory. He pretty much WAS the band. They were never the same after he passed. James hates himself because of the coin toss about the top bunk. He said it should have been him.
Nixter69er it was cliff and Kirk. They drew cards.
Williams Ruthless Figures while james just followed along and lars snorted 100kg of coke and fucked up
Where kids today cry (almost all of them): no robux
Where legends cry:
Not just men. Literally everything Metallica fan (cuz sum fans are females)
@Adrian Romo sad as hell, we all miss cliff, if he never died, Metallica would be better off without load and reload or St Anger. Almost burst into tears when I heard this, never have I ever done this, until now
Legends*
Im 11years old boy and i am BIG Metallica fan
@@eemisalo7557 You Play Bass?
35 years have passed. Rest in peace Cliff.
36 now
Yes. His birthday is after 7 days btw.
Its wild when you realize our heroes are gone longer than they were alive
He was too talented for this world. Maybe angels' choir in heaven needed a bassist
He would totally shread amazing grace and love it lol
"I hope you're headbangin' in the sky..."
Gay.
The comment above is right, because this is happy.
dont cry dudes he was too good for earth, god want him back in heaven
i’m playing the guitar part as we speak
Lord, how we miss him, at least what’s remembered.
@@liamsagucio61 hollow - Pantera?
We were only borrowing him and we had to give him back. Sooner or later we have to give everything back.
Same with dime
It's crazy how this popped up on my recommended. February 10th, his birthday. RIP Cliff Burton
I'm 15 and I just got my first bass guitar. Cliff is my hero and just for him I keep going. Rest in Power, Legend.
This makes my heart hurt
I take my inspiration from him so this really hurts me too
I feel you on such a spiritual level 😢
you are having a stroke
Remember that he's in a better place now, mate.
moe Ofc
That last line in your description dude...
“his life was too short, like an unfinished song...”
that really hit me deep RIP Cliff Burton.
I don't usually cry, but I went back to see that with my own eyes, and my eyes started to tear up, to now listen to pre Black album Metallica and care so much about Cliff Burtons death, picking up the bass, and wanting to follow in cliffs footsteps, to become one of the greatest bassists in history, it really hurts, it hurts to know he isn't alive anymore
I cried dude
To live is to die ends the same way Cliff's life did
@@RockyMetal24 Oh my God, only now I understood why it ends so abruptly. Thank you man! 🙏
No niestety za krótko żyľ. Szkoda młodzika. Tyle mogło się wydarzyć.
real men cries while listening this on his birthday or deathday :(
@@studjo19 ur right man, i agree w u
His death is 3 days after my birthday, that in it's own is enough to make me cry
R.I.P. Cliff Burton: a true madman on bass. May you continue to inspire many bass players to come.
That moment when this demo sounds 10x better than most bands full songs
sheep
mindre begavet Pfft, du er bare mindre begavet
الله أكبر
Because it's fake
That moment when a idiot comments on a video and has no idea what he is talking about.
It's been almost 33 years since his fatal accident in Sweden.
Seems like yesterday
Almost 40 now
34 years ago, we lost this magnificent bass player at such a high point in Metallica's career. Cliff continues to live through his music which brought Metallica to higher levels of fame, eventually bringing them to the mainstream level of the music industry. He did so much and he gave his gift to the world. I don't care if this this demo was by him or not, but all we know is that this song was to be his send off. A tribute to one of the legendary bassists in metal and even music history. He isn't dead, because he lives within the sounds of his man made bass lines from the band's early days. He lives on with Metallica and he will never be forgotten for as long as we keep him close and memorable to us. He is, was, and always will be the best in the world at what he did. Rest well, Clifford.
James was the Face
Lars was the Brain
Kirk was the Polish
Cliff was the soul
RIP Sir, it’s quite insane that even almost 35 years after your death you have left such an impactful legacy
James Was the Face
Lars Was the Brain
Kirk was the Skill
And Cliff was all three of those.
Lars is the brain? He could be replaced by a kid bro
@@iogurte006 drumming aside lars was a big driving force behind metallica, he made many good decisions and if it werent for lars metallica wouldnt be as big as they are today
Sounds cool, wish it's really played by Cliff or Jason... But I doubt it. Cliff recorded his demos on a plain tape recorder, and this sounds too digital and clean for me (at least bass). This tune sounds even cleaner than Cliff's bass on Master of Puppets album. Where it came from? 30 years of nothing, and here it is... But now all we can do is imagining that that's really played with Burton's fingers... R.I.P. Cliff Burton! \m/
I think that you know it, but the song "To Live Is To Die" is very similar to this video. And I also remember that Jason played this version on Seattle '89.
***** I so hope for that
gabenkid that's because this was the first version of To Live is To Die
Andriy Vasylenko hey dude, I think you should cover this version of To Live is To Die, I think it'd be amazing coming outta your bass guitar
I think this is Cliff playing, the tone sounds a lot like cliffs to me, and the guitar tone, especially the clean half, sounds a lot like james/kirk's tone on ...ajfa
A true artist and musician with his soul speaking through his instrument...best bassist ever.
emil its like comparing steak to cereal. it's both great, but everything has it time and place. Always putting musicians against eachother its what wrong with the whole youtube generation. its just plain fucking stupid.
emil peter steele was great too
emil
lepers.
Lemmy is a better bass player but cliff is still an amazing bass player. Lemmy is better that geddy Lee tho in my opinion
Ryne Clausen Dude objectively Lemmy is not a very good bass player, he is extremely sloppy and not really a composing genius. He is not anywhere close to being the best and anyone who has grabbed a bass in his life would agree. Also comparing Geddy Lee with Lemmy is blasphemy, Geddy is just out of this world.
The meaning of the song really hits you hard when you realize it’s his last
Its crazy that none of us never met him, but we mourn at his death as if he was a brother...
Miss ya Cliff...
Trujillo didn't dislike this video. I think, certainly Trujillo does not wants to be Burton, but he wants to be good to the band as Burton was.
Victor Hugo Ferreira jason....
Yes, ive caught your think line, but i was talking about Burton, certainly. Not to say that he came to substitute Jason, but in my kind of think i mean that he wants to be good to the band. This is what a good bass player wants.
Victor Hugo Ferreira as a bassist, I would like to point out that Trujillo is a great bassist. He didn't kill Metallica, Metallica killed him :/
Dave mustaine did it 😂😂
Jason is heavier then both of these, so I like him better then cliff and rob
"The Kingdom of salvation will take you home, for the king is forgiving, for the king is understanding, for the king is loving, for the king is you…"
To Live is to die
Robert Valdez but this wasn’t what James Hetfield said in to live is to die
@@angadgianirogers1844 When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths
Which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home
It's what cliff wrote, although the last two lines is from a poem in the 17th century and are also on Cliffs grave stone.
Crying in the moshpit rn
Ryan Freebody cliff didn’t write the lines previous to that though.
I’m going to be sad when the other members pass away. At least I know that Cliff will be waiting for them. ❤️ 🙏🏻
This song is why i have yt premium
Is that to live is to die?
yes it is
Ethan Byrne yep
the beginning of this is an unreleased demo of "to live is to die" wich was supposed to be played right before the bridge but was ultimately removed. but in the "Live shit: binge and purge" CD in Seattle Jason plays this before master of puppets.
pixelatorHD ahh right. they should have kept it in tbh
Ethan Byrne
I'm crying right now.
It sounds so simple yet complex,
so "metalish" yet calm,
so wonderfull yet deep and dark in it's core.
The most amazing and fascinating song I've ever listened.
Me to, Im 13 I miss Metallica from 80'...
settle down capt emo
It's poetry
Cliff was an amazing musician. A lot of his music writing is similar. Take Orion, for example.
I doubt you’re crying.
R. I. P. Clifford Lee Burton 😣😢💔
I can feel his Soul
When a Man Lies, He murders some part of the world
These are the Pale Deaths, which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take Me Home?
The Kingdom of salvation will take you home, for the king is forgiving, for the king is understanding, for the king is loving, for the king is you…
He is now in the hall of the kingdom
@@Doobiedestroyer he’s where her belongs, a place fit for a king
Amen RIP Cliff
Forever in our hearts
Gone but never forgotten
"To Live Is To Die"
When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
When I was younger I loved this song. I still do... But it has taken on so much more meaning in my life. The under tones of the ramifications of lying to yourself and denying the world of who one can truly be if they are true to themselves. I look beyond this world now. I look at where I will be if I'm not honest with the Lord. I knew about salvation but I didn't know about salvation. To live we have to die in the flesh. And be reborn in the spirit. It's amazing how we go through life not realizing the Words were always around us. When the veil is lifted... It's that "wow!" moment. The footprints in the sand moment when you realize the Lord never left you... He carried you through the hard times when you thought you wouldn't make it.
Thank You Lord for never forsaking me... I am truly ready for the kingdom of salvation to take me home now....
One of the reasons I bought a bass chorus pedal
I've played bass for 16 years, i'm 26 now and i can barelly play orion without a mistake, the bass pedal is one of the best thing you need if you're a bass player
i need to know what chorus pedal is being used in this
happy birthday cliff! it’s so awesome to see people in the comments coming every year or even day to pay tribute to him. i’ve never even met him but i miss him
happy birthday Cliff, wherever you are rn
Im not a huge fan of Metallica or Cliff Burton for that matter ( maybe I should be ) but seriously , who in they're right mind would dislike this ?
Scottish Trendkill this isn't cliff playing
Don't expect 7 billion people to like a song
@Nickhead87 or maybe they just find it disrespectful to post this, I dont find it disrespectful but I could see how someone could
You.... I like what you said. I must agree
Nickhead87 I don’t think that need a 3 page S A lmao, the guy wasn’t acting offended he meant that the music is good that he can’t understand why some people disliked it he wasn’t saying how rude or anything 😂

@@jessebriggs7995 Why? At least theh feel emotion when listening to good Music.
Richard Roberson, because some of them think that they are super unique just because they listen to their music, granted there are people like that’s in every fan base, i just found that the billie eyelash fans are the most prominent
@@jessebriggs7995 fair enough
this guy is the reason i even play bass. i miss you cliff
Cliff forever.from Russia with love.
Hearing a man play his last note
His last living impressions on the world.
But he made more even after his death.
That's how you identify a legend, if they continue to change the world from the grave. RIP Cliff. A heroic bassist
Rest in peace cliff may god be with you
So he can learn a thing or two from Cliff.

R.I.P Cliff and thank you for making one of the most beautiful riffs ive ever heard. :'(
R.I.P solid Snake.... A true hero just like Burton
"When a man lies, he murders a part of the world" Metallica lyrics, written by Cliff, based on the best Arthurian legend movie ever "Excalibur" as spoken in that movie by Merlin the Magician, both stemming from the hymn and poet writer Gerhardt: “When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths men miscall their lives.”
―Paul Gerhardt
Cliff was in tune, on more levels than one, beautiful and respectful of beauty, tragic and respectful of the beauty of tragedy. One of the best, and I don't just mean on the bass. But he sure as shit was a mean motherfucker on a 4-string without a doubt. Thank you Cliff!

Please tell me im not the only one to shed a tear to this considering how young Cliff was and how beautiful he played.
Trenton Kaiser nope
Not at all
How did this not come up for 11 years of watching Metallica videos on RUclips. This is amazing. I started listening to Metallica when a girl brought it to McD’s where we worked. The new album was Master of Puppets. Such a good time in the 80’s
As actual fans of the Lords of THRASH METAL, WE ALL shall miss Cliff.
Only missed by his living, but we'll always hear his bass work.
THRASH ON!
HELL YEAH!
Honestly one of the best riffs I've ever heard
Lie down
Try not to cry

Happy Birthday Cliff Burton.
happy birthday, cliff. rest in peace😔
If Cliff was alive imagine what he could do of that much time :(
Every time I hear this song it makes me think how James and kirks guitars are almost mourning for cliff through sound. RIP CLIFF BURTON 1962-1986

I was 16 when he left this world. Everything I am is because of Cliff Burton. No other bassist will ever fill his shoes. R.I.P. Brother, you were loved and are missed by so many. I have a tat of the Ace of Spades with his death date.
This last record is so beautiful. Why did Cliff leave this world so soon ? He didn't deserve to leave this shortly ? Cliff was probably one of the best bassists of his generation.
