      You probably have already but if not check out the remastered versions of every cliff song with the bass boosted. You can already hear what he is doing if you have an ear like you pointed out. That being said having him basically in lead or alongside it at least makes it all the clearer how fucking amazing he was RIP Cliff we love you.

    Alex, It's time to "Hit The Lights." "The Four Horsemen" are drawing nearer. We'll be watching your reactions and feeling good with "Motorbreath", it's how I live my life. I can't take it any other way. So come on, "Jump in the Fire" Alex. With some RUclipsrs, it's like "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)" for them to appreciate Metallica, but not YOU. They can't handle acting like a maniac, "Whiplash." Other metal bands fall onto their knees, for the original "Phantom Lord", Metallica. I have "No Remorse", no repent in stating this. Alex, no more searching, "Seek and Destroy!" We're trying to get the message to you, "Metal Militia" is here with you. Some people ask "Am I Evil?" I am man. Yes I am. So Alex the day is coming. Armageddon is near. Inferno's coming. Can we survive the "Blitzkrieg" of Alex's reactions? YEAH YEAHHHHHH! We'll never stop. We'll never quit. Because YOU'RE Metallica! 🤘🤘🤘

    This Song was originally entitled "When Hell Freezes Over"... I saw them Play it in Orlando Florida Before the record came out... but dont know why they changed the title... And as usual Cliff Burton really shows his passion while playing here in those long murderous growls on the bass at the end of the chord progressions..... its almost like a monster growling - "WAAAAAAAAA" - pretty much ALL of those background growls and tones in the early records were from the fingers of Cliff Burton, dude was vicious, and his head was like, on a FKN swivel... supreme headbanger (RIP)...

    The late Cliff Burton was a fan of H. P. Lovecraft work and he introduced this to the band to get inspired. Some of the intros, outros and solos are inspired on his writings, but there are 4 songs on their entirety based on the Cthulhu mythos:
    -The called of Ktulu
    -The thing that should not be
    - All nightmare long, and
    - Dream No More.
    Hope this help

    Edit: In regards to the spelling, I was using Data, on an old, slow, broken work phone, outside in the hot sun, on a bike. My phone made some auto correct errors, and the sun made the screen hard to see. If you see a message, and start freaking out about the grammar to the point you don't even "read" the message, then you need to get your O.C.D. in check, and move on, rather then insult and assume the person writing the message is stupid, and can't spell. Nothing in the world is black and white. There's always variables, factors, conditions, etc. to take into consideration. If bad grammar bothers you that much, stay off the internet. It's probably better for your health in the long run. I wouldn't want you to stumble across something like "hAha, can send u Money tinight" or "WArnings GET too Shlter" have a heart attack. With peace and love, fuck off.

    This song on S&M, going straight into Master of Puppets is probably one of the most intense pieces of music I've ever heard. As a long time Metallica fan, I had no idea what to expect with the collaboration with the symphony. Ecstasy of Gold, then Call of the Ktulu had me thinking it was going to be more orchestra based, then Puppets hits and it's just so GOD DAMN METALLICA!!!
