James: Hi Cliff! How U Doin’?
Cliff: *Intense Distorted Bass Sounds*
NFGS0UL if you spoke to Cliff, when he opened his mouth you would only hear the best distorted bass.
The guy with the red hat this comment can have so many meanings.
NFGS0UL You stole this comment
Lars Schothorst It’s kind of an ongoing joke...
Can’t like this, has 666 likes
Cliff played bass like it was a 6 string playing lead.
* Like it was 4 strings lead guitar
James and Lars' first words upon hearing Cliff play for the first time "Holy fuck dude, that's a BASS"
@@maxhowlett9661 I love how they mentioned that they thought it was a guitar at first and were curious about the effect he was using only to realize it's a bass once they counted the strings :D
Bass is supposed to be rhythm. Not lead. It’s why I like Steve Harris and David Ellfeson better. Cliff is more talented, but the other two mentioned played the instruments the way they are supposed to be played.
@@TheTriggeredDuckguitarist there is no supposed way to play an instrument.
You are missing what makes this version so special. Cliff did things with a bass guitar that had not been done in metal or any other genre. He played it like a lead guitar and had he lived Metallica would have been a very different band.
so true
Sad part, he never even hit his prime.
What Metallica could have been Cliff .... who knows😔😕☹🙁😞
Pre cliffs death Metallica is just too good but I feel like they lost more than cliff when he died they lost a good chunk of what defined there music
I agree. I say the same thing about Bon Scott of AC DC.
Cliffs hands man lol The way he could bend those bass strings like they were normal guitar strings lol The man could crush a rock with his bare hands and makes diamonds.
From what I understand, he actually would use strings from more than one set of strings, so he'd get a thicker set for the top two strings and a thinner set for the bottom two to make it easier to bend them. I'm not sure if that's 100% true but I think I remember hearing it somewhere. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
@@iiRaptusGaming he had rotosound strings that were extra thin all the way through, 35, 55, 75 and 90 which is extremely thin for bass
@@Watto22 I've tried out that same set, I actually really loved it unless I had to downtune for whatever reason
Cool pfp, the IT crowd am I right?
when James starts singing someone throws something on stage and he quickly flips them the bird.
Jonathan Gish yea that’s awesome how he didn’t pause as bands do nowadays and just kept the rhythm going
Good eye. I've watched this video about 15 times and I never noticed that
5.07 it is :)
@@AlpInceiplik Wait until you notice the first time he grabs a new pick in the middle of a riff without a hitch...
NOT MANY PEOPLE NOTICE THAT.
Cliff Burton was and remains to be the bass God of Gods.
May he watch over all our bassist endeavours
Liam Jorgensen Cliff Burton is good dude but he's no Les Claypool or for that matter God himself Lemmy kilmister
... you forgot lemmy killmaster
Liam Jorgensen where does flea from RHCP fit in?
Alex Hefner aw mate... definitely top ten. Dude goes mental
Liam Jorgensen so much truth!
James' guitar is called a Gibson Explorer, it's his signiture
Magic Steve actually, although at that stage in their career he played an Explorer it was not a signature model. His more famous guitar is in fact his ESP ‘Snakebite’ which is similar to an explorer but made in South Korea.
This is actually a Gibson. His signature is and ESP “snakebite”
That’s not gibson explorer. Esp mx250
Muhammad Irsyazman sorry bud, that is an explorer - he used two, one he called ‘So What’ and one he called ‘More Beer’, the head stock is a dead giveaway. He switched to ESP because they offered him an endorsement deal and he felt Gibson was taking him for granted. If you don’t believe that I’ll offer up that I own both a snakebite and an explorer and know them both well but That said, here’s an excerpt from ‘Gear Guide’:
“1984 Gibson Explorer “So What”
“Hetfield So What Gibson Explorer After the neck snapped on his Electra Flying V in 1984, James started using couple of different guitars. What soon came to be his main one was a white 1984 Gibson Explorer decorated with a sticker on it reading “So What”.
This guitar was originally equipped with Gibson Dirty Fingers pickups (496R/500T ), but sometime in the late 80s - presumably around 1987 when Kirk Hammett switched to EMGs as well - James took the pickups out and replaced them with the EMG 81/60 set.
Knowing that, and the fact that this was James’ favorite guitar at the time, the album Ride the Lightning (1984) was largely recorded using this particular guitar equipped with the stock Gibson pickups. EMGs didn’t come into play until the EP: Garage Days Re-revisited (1987) and …And Justice for All (1988).
Just like his Electra Flying V, James restored his white Explorer and played it on “Death Magnetic” in 2008.”
I have one of his but it’s left handed
I was at Cliff`s last concert in Oslo, Norway, before the tragic accident, standing right under him , he was on another planet playing that bass, shaking his long black hair. I will never forget him, the most heavy metal artist ever!
wasnt the last concert in sweden?
@@sumsaras you`re right. In Stockholm. Ref. Wikipedia.
I'm kind of jealous. You get to hear Fade to Black and The Unforgiven and Four Horsemen and Enter Sandman and Seek and Destroy and so many other amazing songs for the first time. Enjoy.
David Webb, agreed. The first song I ever heard from metallica was battery, I was hooked from the first note, once it turned heavy and fast I was in awe and have been a metal head ever since. I would love to have that feeling again.
I still remember that first bell toll...everything suddenly got heavier and much, much more violent
David Webb idk why but all those songs didnt hit me the way they should have the first time
My first metallica song was enter sandman, my dad had it on the hard drive our family computer and I found it when I was about 9 and fell in love
Metallica - Battery Live in Seattle 1989 my dude. So good.
anything from seattle 1989 is pure energy
The 89 gig is one of the BEST shows ever! It's just so EFFING badass!
we want it
Waldoz, I said the same thing a few videos ago.
Yes!!!!!!!
4:15 ''Boy slapping that Bass''
*Davie504 wants to know your location*
BASS
SLAP LIKE NOW
Cliff was the first SLAPER so slap like now in this video.
I challenge Davie504 to play this
EPICC
this is probably the best live version of this song ever, its incredible. Metallica were glorious during that period of time, 1984.
*1985
Maybe instrumentally, but Hetfield became a better singer years later. He definitely sung it better, when I saw them at the Rose bowl in Pasadena, in 1990 or 1991.the reason they weren’t better instrumentally, was mainly no Cliff on bass, but also Hetfield was recovering from burns, so he had a backup guitarist for him.
I like the raw voice of Hetfield
It actually wasn't cut short. They were beginning to play the intro to the next song, "The Four Horsemen."
Roadstar1602 great song, of course
Ah, nostalgia. This is the first song I ever played on a stage as a bass player. I was shy and my group's method of curing that was to pick this song and toss me on stage.
RIP Cliff, the whole reason I picked up the bass in the first place.
zombiemanjosh James, Kirk and deryk whibly are the reasons I started picking up guitar
They didnt stop early, what you heard at the end was the intro to their song “the four horsemen”
Cliff is a lost treasure. He played that bass like it was a 6 string. In fact the first time James and Lars heard him they thought they were hearing a weird 6 string solo. He was the soul of Metallica. I'm glad the band kept the faith that Cliff taught them. Don't compromise....ever.
Metallica - Enter Sandman live Moscow 1991
KINTO yes
KINTO Yes!!!
KINTO yes yes yes
Preach that shit!! 😂 I thought I was the only one commenting it haha
Yes yes yes yes yes! Please react to this.
My favourite one is Orion its an 8 minute odd instrumental, and it is pure bliss.
And the lyrics are amazing
Sean Hansberry ikr
Sean Hansberry the absolute best
That song. I play it and I melt. There's so much in melodies, harmonies, even the solos. It's amazing to play and hear.
The intro feels so badass
I just wish one thing: the Cliff's improvise in the studio version....
This song got me thru 25y of service. RIP Cliff. Never forgotten.
Check out Spit Out The Bone! Listen how Metallica can still do mind blowing thrash metal in their 50's!
FUCK YEAH!!🤘🤘🤘
Jon Noland To me it is the best song on the new album, and could easly stand beside any song on thier first four albums.
Yes fucking please
🤘 Spit out the Bone 🤘 Do it bro!!!!
If he listens to spit out the bone I subscribe. This guy is the best reactor to Metallica (+ Lost in Vegas)
Aerials - System of a Down
You'd love the vocals of Serj and Daron
IFragAll gimme a hell yeah for SOAD
Or Hypnotize. So hypnotizing
james’s guitar is called an explorer, and yes it is amazing
2:37 gives me the chills every time
You got to check out anesthesia pulling teeth bass solo. It is cliff at his best.
Fritos Bandito Aw man.. reminds me my first time getting into Metallica. That and Nothing else matters.
Sarkario remember the first Time I heard pulling teeth. I was like there is a bass Qatar?
For real though man, that's be sick, alex get on that
3:50 That guitar shape is called "Explorer"
Spanish civil war, not Spanish-American war.
lol
The song is based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway (For Whom The Bell Tolls, 1940). I read it few years ago when I found a copy in my parent's summer cabin. Really good book and even better when in the back of your mind you are hearing this song.
Di que sí, paisano. Mi abuelo estuvo en esa maldita guerra, y peleó en la ofensiva de Segovia, que es un poco el trasfondo de la novela. Siempre he presumido de que Metallica le dedicó una canción, encima mi favorita. 🤘
I was at that show at Oakland Coliseum. Remember it like it was yesterday... Okay, many yesterday's ago, but still, super epic day, and I was not sober.
BTW, all us Bay Area Peeps said "Hella", wwwaaayyyy back then so, you're welcome! 😊
EastBay MauiBoy what was it like to hear that intro live?
The guy with the red hat
It was awesome. There was a ton of energy in that place. I was used to seeing the Raiders play there so it was a trip seeing a huge concert there. I remember the sound wasn't super great. The place is hella big so it was pretty echo-y.
You should listen to Metallica’s Four Horsemen
You should react this song in Seattle at 1989
Cliffs teaching them his take on sound theory was the shit... RIP. Cant wait to hear the cool stuff you been working on !
Cliff is a legend!!! You can see that he's having so much fun performing this song. Such a tragic ending after the show. RIP Cliff! Great video too.
A hip hop head is bothered by improper language..the irony in that statement
Evan Contreras LMFAO I KNOW RIGHT!!
My man!!! Cliff fucking Burton, such a shame his life was cut so short. He was a genius like no other when it came to playing the bass, he did things that I had no idea were possible.
PS
Even if you don't do reactions for them definitely check out Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) and Orion.
Jonathan Young just from this video alone, I love the guy
There two mentions are all that you need
The songs mentioned before (Anesthesia and Orion) are his best work before his death. Definitely would recommend!
Orion...best instrumental ever!
Shit, not only anesthesia and orion, but check out a live version (with cliff) of call of ktulu. Incredible bass playing on that song.
Aaaawwwwwhhhhh SHIT.
My favorite band, Metallica.
AND my favorite comedian, Mitch Hedberg.
In the same video.
Today is a good day.
Dude you gotta grow your hair out.
I wish I could relive when I first heard these songs all over again.
he is going to be a lawyer....lol clean cute
Metallica is one of the bands that if they didn't exist metal wouldn't be anything like it is today. Some bands that people like now would even exist. Gotta respect the legends.
Deathpenguin Zed seriously! They earned it. Unbelievable!!
They sold out unfortunately. So now they're the most un-metal band out there.
Deathpenguin Zed
Im agree with u man!!
You NEED to see them LIVE. The pure energy they generate is UNBELIEVABLE. You will see life in a whole new light. Videos are great... even concert videos but they still are no comparison to the live show
All hail Cliff, quite possibly the greatest bass player ever!!!
FADE TO BLACK!!!!!!!!! and nothing else matters tho
100% agree. And if he doesn't react to them, he needs to listen to them.
Fade, Nothing Else and Unforgiven are like perfection
Fade to black seems to be the perfect song for this guy. A mixture of important lyrics and awesome instrumentals seems to be what he likes. That should be next hands down.
Harvester of sorrow 👌
People calling this "dad metal" must be 12 year olds. Nah actually, even 12 year olds gotta love Metallica, everyone gotta love Metallica! You can say a lot about Metallica in their later days, but 80s Metallica is metal at its best and purest. Also RIP Cliff, such an amazing bassist, we can only imagine what greatness he would have brought to Metallica and the world had he lived on.
That being said, you simply must listen to Holy Wars by Megadeth! Shredding out of another world, exceptional drumming, meaningful lyrics and the solos are incredible.
Oh man, it makes me so freakin happy to see someone discovering Metallica (like I did). I can relate 100% to his enthusiasm while listening to this epic music. I really enjoy someone enjoying Metallica :D
Okay I've honestly beenwatching your videos reacting to Metallica all afternoon and I can't stop! They are so genuine and I truly love watching Met getting recognized by everyone as IT.
Metallica - Fade to Black
THIS!!!
One of their absolute finest, with arguably their best solos
it wasn't cut short, the last few notes was the intro to another song.
Sean Dan . yeah. The four horsemen.
sean simpkin You got it brother. From possibly my favorite Metallica album, Kill 'Em All.
They have come to take your life
Love your videos bro, and it's so great to see somebody who really enjoys listening for the first time
to the music that I love so much!
I would lOVE for you to recommend some hip-hop tracks that you think all of us metal heads, would appreciate.
I love seeing your genuine reaction. That was me a long ass time ago. Keep on exploring, you won’t be disappointed
That last bit was the intro to The Four Horsemen.
You gotta listen to the Kill 'em All album.
Brother I love these!!! You just totally "get" this music in the same ways I feel about them, and I had the cassette tapes back then. I've worried for years that good metal would be lost on the newer generations but you guys are bringing it back and you're explaining the real meaning of these songs for people that may not have totally gotten the picture. It's a good thing what you and some others are doing. Thank you!!
Kevin Ball anytime! I am having a BLAST jamming these songs
Alex Hefner your doing a great job bro! Your reactions are awesome, and I love how u explain the lyrics for all the people new to Metallica. Keep it up!!! Spit out the Bone next man, u need some new Metallica in the mix and the video is sick!
I have been a metalhead forever (around 25 years) and i learn things from you, thanks to your research and in depth analysis. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for choosing this version... Cliff is a legend and will always be missed
It was cut short because they were starting to play the four horseman, a song off their first album
Trick question : Four Horseman or Mechanix ? :D (Just kidding, there's no wrong answer ^^)
Only a few days in to your channel, but as a metalhead I really appreciate your openness and your "newborn" view on stuff I've been listening for like aeons. You're indeed bringing our communities closer man. Respect for that.
It feels me up with joy to see how much you enjoy the music I enjoy. Specially when it's my favorite Metallica song. I'm glad you liked it, dude. 😁
Rest In Peace to one of the greatest musicians to grace the metal stage. 🖤
Metallica - Orion
THE masterpiece!!!!!
For real. If you like instrumentals, and you dig Metallica, you'll love this one.
That song is perfection, by far their best song.
I have told mi friends that when I die they better play Orion
This is my all time favorite fucking song ever ever. It's also one of my sons favorites, he actually learned to play it for me.
Check out To Live Is To Die, a tribute to Cliff. Really love the videos
Dani __ yes I love that song easily one of my favourite songs from Metallica
Cliff 'em all for a real tribute video :D
This was the first Metallica so g I've played on guitar, somewhere back on 92..
Great job on these videos man..greetings from Thessaloniki, Greece.
God I love this band...top 5 bands of all time....such great playing with great energy...even live this is so crisp....just tooooooo damn good......thanks for the reaction
N.I.B - Black Sabbath!
Majo Manson 💥 Third favorite Sabbath song of all time. Its fire for sure. The first two I like best are War Pigs and Iron Man respectively. The Wizzard after this one. Its awesome
Ride the Lightning is still today one of my all time favorite albums.
The Guitar was a "Gibson Explorer"
I´m a Metallica-Fan for decades, but i´ve never seen a Live-Cliff-Bass-Solo before. Thank you for this magical moment!!!!!
if you want the model of the James guitar, in this era (Ride the lightining) James had a " Gibson Explorer". in the Seattle 89 (and Justice for all era ) James had a "Esp- Explorer" well the model is a "Explorer" (you recognize it for the "Z" body)
Metallica fade to black
YESSS
Yo Alex. As a long time metalhead ( over 30 yrs) it's great to see the bands you are reacting to and appreciating from a genre and time that I believe are the best- Metallica, Megadeth,iron maiden, Slayer, Pantera etc . For me it's from late 80s to mid noughties and maybe it is ' dad metsl' now to kids from after that time ( same as black Sabbath, Judas priest, Motorhead etc was for me, but it's the best and kudos to you man for making great comments and intelligent reactions different from the other reaction type videos on here. Respect from a mature UK ( where it all started) metalhead
Just stumbled upon you today. Dig it! I work with an awesome chick that I have nothing in common with. YOU are our joining line. She's hip-hop, I am rock. Thanks for giving us something to talk about. And thank you for your enthusiasm when you hear a song for the first time. It's noticed and appreciated. More people need a mind as open as yours. Rock on and have a dope ass day!
Dude, listen to The Rooster by Alice In Chains. You’d absolutely love it I promise
AIC is the shit! love them
I second this
i third this
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do Orion the next time you do Metallica. You will CREAM your pants!
Orion is awsome
Hefner's eyes going wide with solos. His eyes will be hella wide throughout the entire Orion!!
THIS ^
Hey Alex!!! Orion is going to blow your mind. Warning...it is an instrumental. If you are good at visualizing things...go for this. Close your eyes. Picture a nice muscle car driving in the night on a lonely road when the first notes start. I usually picture something like a classic Barracuda, Road Runner or Charger on the road at night, some rain coming down and it's dark...little moon light. You might want to wear goggles...your eyeballs are going to pop out.
Orion is completely a very insanely awesome experience, when I first listened to it, it immediately became my favorite song in the whole album.
Look how young they all look! I was 23 when this concert happened. Alex, you made me feel old with this one LOL
Thanks for saying hi cliff because we all do it as Metalheads,so thank you very much
Greetings from Russia! You should watch Monsters of Rock 1991 in Moscow. AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera etc. More than 600 000 people
He watched the Pantera - Domination video from that show. Check it out.
Ive heard it has over a million
Thanks. Watched only metallica reactions yet
Wikipedia says from 600 000 to 1 600 000
Metallica creeping death moscow 91
I cant believe such classics are so new to you! But i think its awesome your so open minded and make great vids reacting to them
connor stanker yeah it’s a little embarrassing but I thought filming my reactions would be a great idea
Alex Hefner stepping outside ur comfort zone is respectable bro. You got a new sub today
The kings themselves, looking baby faced in their early 20s.
Dig your perspectives in your reviews. Keep doing what you do. I haven't seen a review of Disposable Heros-Metallica.
Metallica - Battery (Live in Seattle, '89)
Dude, I reckon you should start up another series, or another channel even, about deep topics. You seem knowledgable on a lot of stuff, I keep seeing it throughout your videos. I for one would love something like that
Liam Jorgensen that is very interesting! I’ll give it some thought. Hit me in the DMs if you have concrete ideas 👍🏼
Alex Hefner too easy man, I'll hit you up and bounce some ideas around
i got this dvd and i love to crank this song, this song was out almost 3 months before i was born. good times.
Dude there is so much good stuff out there to dive into as far as metal and rock goes! I love how so many people are discovering it. And love how a ton of Black Culture are loving it too. Awesome
Metallica has a classical music influence if you couldn't tell. Cliff and Lars are classically trained in music.
People who don't listen to rock can miss how much it is influenced by classical composers. Many of the great artists were classically trianed and bring that training into their works. One of the reasons albums like S and M and the Use Your Illussion albums from GnR, to name a couple, could use orchestrated music successfully. Also why many rock fans can also enjoy classical. There is also the who sub genre of symphonic metal with bands like Nightwish and Therion blending them.
Cliff was for sure. Lars could hardly even play when he started the band or so James says.
Please react to "Fade to Black", "Welcome Home(Sanitarium), "Fight Fire with Fire", "Seek & Destroy" and "Battery(live in seattle 89)".
Just now ran across your channel... Metallica first one I've watched from you...look forward to seeing more
It made me so glad to see this music make you as happy as it makes me
It's like you say, they are on another level; Intelligent and incredible musicians. From insane solos through wonderful composition to meaningful and insightful lyrics. Metallica. It's not a music choice... it's a life choice! 🤘
Check the studio version. Sounds better and cleaner.
Facundo Gotmand Agreed! This sounds like camel doo doo and the tempo is WAAAAY off!!
or Seattle 89 version. Seattle > Studio
Facundo Gotmand nah studio is boring
Live version better especially this one with that insane intro
But the recording is bad. I think the Seattle performance is the only good live version.
Facundo Gotmand I think this liveversion is best because Cliffs way of playing this intro is just amazing.
You do a great job of critiqueing music and lyrics bro ... Clearly intelligent !!! Keep up the good work ... And keep "ROCKIN" , & spreading the metal ... 🎸🎙️🎼🤘
I love how excited you get, after nearly 30 years of listening to metallica I still have that excitement running thru my vains. You should try some of these next. The four horsemen, Dyers Eve, and Harvester of Sorrow. If you want to know about Cliffs amazing bass playing listen to anesthesia Pulling teeth! Please keep the Metallica videos coming you asked how you can top Metallica and the answer is you can't!!
In 5:05 from the public they throw something at james and he raises his middle finger
lalalalalalaal 😂😂
Do Blackened or Creeping Death
Cliff was amazing. His bass solo anaesthesia pulling teeth is well worth a listen. Song wasn’t cut short. They were just going straight into the next track The 4 horsemen
You should react to Metallica “The Thing That Should Not Be” Live Seattle 89.
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Metallica - The God That Failed
Metallica - Dyers Eve
Metallica - Leper Messiah
Metallica - ... And Justice For All
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Metallica - Fade to Black
Metallica - Orion (Instrumental)
Metallica - The Call of Ktulu (Instrumental)
Just a few Metallica song suggestions!
thesynergy2 and harvester of sorrow
Maybe i can add To live is to die to your suggestion
Disposable heros
Sanitarium
Thanks for letting us know which band wrote each song. I don’t think it would have been clear without that
MetallicA - The four horsemen
You should listen to “Call of Ktulu” by Metallica. It’s their best Instrumental in my opinion
I feel so happy for you is all I can say! These reactions are pure Bliss!
Through the Fire and Flames is the ultimate shredding song- it's power metal, not thrash, but everyone needs to hear it
Gang more Metallica
I've been playing the bass for 26 years and Cliff was my primary influence.. I was around 6 when I first heard Metallica and I've been a fan ever since. I'm actually friends with Cliff's older sister, Connie on Facebook, and she does look like Cliff (or he maybe he looks like her...lol) She even told me why Cliff sticks his pinky out when he plays. I'm 40 years old and Metallica has been a part of that life for at least 35 of those years ! Awesome reaction Vid btw....keep it up ! ...P.S.- greetings from Montreal, Quebec, Canada
I love that the cultural snippets are mostly synced to the era of the music. Good work mate!
