His death was more than a simple crash of the bus. The tragic truth behind his death was him being flung out of the window of the bus, and being smothered underneath it.
I couldn't think of a better send off to Cliff than this track right here. The highs, the lows, then ramping back up. Very operatic and orchestral sounding - Something Cliff was a big fan of. The violin sound are volume swells, giving it a very haunting sound. Add the poems that Cliff had written down, and James reading them as if they were a eulogy make this a tragically beautiful song. This is my favorite track on the album. I wish they would have played this during one of the S&M shows.
1. The slow introduction: it symbolizes the feeling of aggression and loss that the band suffers due to their loss. 2. Solo #1: represents the whole feeling of anger of Kirk Hammett. 3. The interlude (slow part of the intro): it represents the acceptance of the loss of the 3 remaining members, and the going forward in their honor. 4. Solo # 2: represents how deeply the death of Cliff Burton has affected them. 5. On the return of the heavy part, they pay tribute to Cliff by reading the poem, his last composition, and continue with the tribute doing just what Cliff would have expected of them, to move forward with the music. 6. Upon reaching the end, the song returns to the classic style of the introduction, symbolizing the memory of Cliff, which will never end. The final riff is suddenly interrupted, symbolizing the end of Cliff's life, cut short by death at such a young age.
Solo 1 is James Hetfield it's a rhythm guitar. Kirk didn't have a solo in this song.. His lead guitar always blend with James rhythm guitar the entire music.
This song is very unique because it contains few Cliff's unfinished riffs and Metallica got them together and made a song out of it. Also the band was very f'd up after Cliff's death. He was very talented and had huge impact on metallica progress as a bass player.
The way I hear it, the introduction is the first nine months in the womb. Then comes birth with the drums. You follow the whole life with its struggles, and then life fades away. Finally, it returns to the cosmos..
Cliff Burton's last song. His last writing credit with the band. Thanks for doing it. Not enough people react to this song. Edit: I love people's face when Metallica hits them with the Volume Swells.
You say about breathing issues on dyers eve lol, every time I play bass to that I get so into it I forget to breath lmao cause I’m doing it finger style lol
James Hetfield is playing the guitar solo (at the song's breakdown)!!!! That's my favourite part of this track, by the way!! Funny fact: That's them "tribute" to Cliff Burton, them first bassist
I think you should listen to this song when you are doing nothing else but listening to music. Your instinct is so right here. You need to let this one sit with you for awhile.
I love the way that it's made this song, it's so passionate and emocional, the guitars sounds so good. Thank you, Nickadoug did it again. Greetings from Chile. Keep it up!!
It's good...I've given it several fair listens. The only 2 concerts I've been to in my entire life were And Justice For All concerts. I rank Orion #1, Call of Ktulu #2, and after that who cares. Not saying To Live Is To Die is bad, but it doesn't compare to the previous instrumentals. It actually demonstrates what a lack of Cliff Burton has on a band.
This is a tribute to their bassist Cliff Burton, who tragically died in a tour bus crash,
If you ever listen to Anesthesia you need to do it live with Cliff on the green, then you'll understand the genius that was Cliff
The best tribute for Cliff! RIP Cliff!

What a terrible way to go...

HvyMetal4Ever well said. Hetfields solo is beautifully sad
That rhythm guitar part in the middle of the song always gives me chills.. Such beautiful and masterpiece of a tune.
Your spot on. That song was a masterpiece. So emotion evoking.
Goosebumps everytime mate

My favorite Metallica intumental. Listening to it always gives me the chills in the best way.
Technically not an instrumental but I love it. My favorite is Orion. So much so, that’s what I named my cat.

Not proven. But could be.

Lol Dyers Eve, you'll have breathing issues lol
Please check out Anastasia Pullingteeth. Cliff Burton, he was and is the spirit of MetallicA.
You say about breathing issues on dyers eve lol, every time I play bass to that I get so into it I forget to breath lmao cause I’m doing it finger style lol
R.I.P Clifford Lee Burton:c
An absolute classic
2 left! Dyers Eve and Frayed Ends. 🤘🤘 Cliff Burtons last contribution to Metallica
The only lyrics are from Cliff written on a napkin.
James Hetfield is playing the guitar solo (at the song's breakdown)!!!! That's my favourite part of this track, by the way!!
Funny fact: That's them "tribute" to Cliff Burton, them first bassist
I remember learning that acoustic part when I was like 12 on guitar, I would play it over and over. I just loved it then and I still do.

7:15 this is the part they played "acoustically" in seattle 89 and other justice shows right before the Master of puppets song as a build up
Stick seemed to be enjoying it.
Love this song ❤️ Great reaction 🥰
I love the way that it's made this song, it's so passionate and emocional, the guitars sounds so good. Thank you, Nickadoug did it again. Greetings from Chile. Keep it up!!
Metallica reaction, automatic thumbs up
my all time favorite Metallica song....takes you on journey
One of my top 3 Metallica songs. Masterpiece...🤘
Man I thought I was the only one with an emotional reaction to this. Especially the 6 min mark on
If you remind your reaction of master of puppets seattle 89, then you can notice the guitar part on the beginning is the middle part of this song :)
Superb reaction dude!
Cliff. Taken too early. Rockin with Dime and Vinny in the great beyond.
R.I.P. Clifford Lee Burton 😓😢💔
The song don't end It was It starts and end how It dose you have the song record 2 times on A loop It Just plays over and over A never ended loop .
R.I.P . Cliff!
Next album - RIDE THE LIGHTNING
You should react to My friend of misery. Deep lyrics.
Beg ppl to react to this song. Also my favorite song off the black album
The "strings" is volume swelling on the guitar
When you done "to live is to die",making "Dyers eve" with because Dyers eve start on the end of To live is to Die ,existing one effect 😂😂😂
Yes this song cuts off abruptly because on the album it flows into the next song.
No they are seperate songs to live is to die ends abruptly because cliffs life did
"I really like the vibe they got so far"
Lars: "you're talking mad shit for somebody within AJFA tom bonking distance"
Bro thought people would find that funny 💀💀😭
Stick approves? ;)
Let it Marinate then re listen then you will find the words.
Those aren't strings, that's the bass with a volume pedal or manually turning the volume knob on the bass guitar.
Lead guitar actually.
Metallica are unreal arnt they buddy
You need to check out some Black Sabbath. Brother.
Damn good album, eh?
No. Not the eagles
Looks like your listening to a different song haha
Gonna have to give you a negative rate just for that Eagle's comment.
The song ends abruptly and too early, as a tribute to a life ending too early.
