I can certainly agree with that he is no jaco or chris but considering how good he was at that young of an age he most certainly would have be up there with them if he were still alive.
And that's what defines a great bass player as Great and not just good or good enough. Anyone can learn bass fairly quickly if all u do is play the root notes in rhythm. But when u can write a bass line that follows the root notes and basic melody but u walk them scales and add fills and different melody parts that stray away from what the guitarist are doin and still sounds good together in stead of being like is the bassist playing the right song? Then that's how u know you've achieved greatness. Anyone can play 3 notes.or chords I a 1234 melody in 4/4 3/4 timing and theres nothing wrong with that usually that's how I start off writing my songs. Start simple and then add add add. But when u watch bands play u can tell who's just good and who's great and cliff burton was great
lars and cliff were a mean fuckin combo dude, and i do realize lars isn't an uber technician, they just sounded great live and on records which is what really matters
+ whatthehellvideos Lars is actually a good drummer. The guy clearly has a great talent, but the problem is that he doesn't practice and doesn't really care.
whatthehellvideos yay.Someone who gets it and doesn’t go along with the bullshit dissing of Lars..Those people don’t realize that Lars was one of the reasons why drumming progressed and developed the way it did in metal music and inspired the newer drummers..Lars had speed and power, perfect for the band and I agree, him and Cliff were a powerful unit.
The thing about Cliff Burton was he was innovative, melodic and knew when to play and when not to I mean sure there's technically better ( not by much though lol) but I think he was decades ahead of his time. To be playing bass in such a manner in the 70/80's is mind blowing. Anyway he's the reason I picked up the bass 20 odd years ago years and I love it and his playing to this day
I'm "self taught", but will tell anyone when the subject comes up I was taught by Butler, Harris, and Burton. Couldn't begin to tell you how many times I played along with those band's early albums as a teenager. That stamp has been permanently locked into how I approach bass. RIP Cliff, taken too soon
6:35 Phrasing, technique, tone, melody, harmony - it's all there in a 20 second snippet. Hot damn. I've always loved Cliff's playing, but this whole video revealed so much more about his incredible talent.
It's almost criminal how Cliff's bass parts were downmixed in most of Metallica's albums. Cliff's writing and playing was the strength of the band. His bass should have been turned UP.
What? The bass always sounds so good... I mean, if you master some song sometimes you will know that you have to keep balance. Just because the bass sounds so good you dont have to put the volumen up..
You CAN hear his bass, but if you say you can't hear the difference in the mix on Master of Puppets and say, the Black album.... well then, you'd just be an asshole
What I like about older songs sometimes they have 2 totally different tempo and mood in some parts of the song. Doesn’t matter if it is intro, interlude or outro, it always feels great with the unexpectrd transition.
It had been its own tape for a while, some of the guitar solos I believe are also written by him, but everyone agreed that it shouldn't be by itself, hence trying it on sanitarium. Its a perfect fit into this piece I feel
Definitely one of the best Metal bassists. People aren't aware of how complex a lot of Jazz and Funk music is. Another thing about Cliff that we can't forget: He died at 24. He was a great Metal Bassist. While everyone else who plays bass hopefully got better, he obviously just has the same music for us to compare with. That gives us the advantage. We've all had 25 years--and Cliff's influence-- to get better than Cliff!
There are very few songs where you can listen to only the bass & drums and still really enjoy the song. Such an amazing song, learning it on guitar now (just have that last solo left to master), and to be honest Cliff Burton is one of the only bassists who play solos on their bass. It seems the bass playing that's most redundant (and most prominent) is merely echoing the guitars rather than playing your own thing that accentuates and accompanies the guitars.
Agreed, you can pick up examples of beloved players who do that stuff but 95% of bass players are root note chuggy boys just backing up the groove. It’s the guys that go beyond and don’t overplay despite it that we remember. Geddy, Les, Cliff, Ryan Martinie are the guys I think of right away but there are plenty of amazing players.
I remember when I first heard it; my mind was BLOWN, and I honestly thought, *”Now this is REAL talent!!”* May Cliff rock out in Heaven’s band forever!! 😎🤘🏻
@@emmanova9856 You can't hear those particular fills at all on the album version, because the song fades out before they are reached! (The earlier part of that final riff is looped to last longer as it fades out.)
This is amazing to listen to the rhythmic detail Cliff was duly aware of with the drums... a bunch of Lars' fills were complimented perfectly on the bass, and it made me appreciate Cliff more than I already did (which was huge, now it's huger [yeah that's a word, dammit])
Don't forget that he was only 23 when he played this song. And it's not that he's so loved for being the ultimate bass player. His attitude, his character and his deep connection with music is also a big factor. And of course an untimely death adds a legenderay, what if flavor as well of course.
@@chaos9608 I love cliff Burton Ive seen alot of other bass players but never seen anybody play bass the way he does I wasn't being offensive at all I was saying that in regards to how badass he was.

+Tgunzz i see your hypothetical point of view, and i do understand what you mean when you mention his young age, and his huge potential(i fucking love Cliff, i even adopted his right hand technique). but it's like comparing Mozart to Bach. sure Mozart was a prodigy, and innovated while pushing the boundaries of music, and unfortunately he died well before he should have. But Bach lived a much longer life and was undoubtedly the best musical composer of all time. i'm not trying to take anything away from Cliff, everyone should show him much gratitude, but you can't just sweep other bassists under the rug like that. Steve Harris is easily better than where Cliff left off, and that's reality.
ClassicRockMan95 That's what I was saying, i'm not brushing Steve under the rug at all. He is better than Cliff. What I was saying was that it's not really a comparison at all because Cliff was taken so young. There's no telling how great he would've became and how much he would've accomplished. The nod absolutely goes to Steve its just sometimes people don't realize how young Cliff was and how short a time he had to do what he did. I feel if you were to judge all these guys based on their first 3-4 years of playing and composing, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who tops Cliff.
i love how i can relate to everyone here for one reason, we all fucking admire and miss Cliff, we all love metal, and we will not forget what Cliff did. FUCKING CLIFF BURTON!
One thing that made Cliff stand out among bassists is that he played piano, and he played it very well (J.S. Bach, etc.) Next time you watch a video of Cliff playing, watch his fretting fingers, how they fly.
The irony of an isolated drum and bass track, it’s like “Wow, they can actually coincide. You don’t have to turn the bass all the way down for the drums to be impactful. Crazy right?
first song i learned on bass. thanks to Cliff i have a reason to play bass. thankyou Cliff for your amazing bass solos that will live on inside of every MetallicA head. :) R.I.P. Mr. Clifford Lee burton \\m//

It's the parts that he doesn't play and the way he uses ghost notes to fill space and time that are the most impressive thing to me. He was and always will be the first bassist I idolized and the best metal bassist to ever live! RIP Cliff and thanks to whoever made this video
Cliff Burton died in our world because he was to good at that time, he went to other side and I think he playing some hard ace bass over there! Just listen and you know he is one of the best bass player in the world if not the best?
Cliff is undeniably awesome bassist, Orion is undeniably awesome work... ...as a painter I paid attention to Cliff's photo we can see on this video. This is one of my favorite pictures.
i'm so glad these videos are here. i've been able to play this song doing my own thing and make it sound good for awhile, but know i can hear the exact lines that cliff plays and pick out all his little fills...really honor the man and the song that inspired me to pick up the bass.
The intro sounds like a diesel truck driving through the desert one hot 1980s summer daythat summer vibe is all over mop thanks to 2 musical geniouses clifford lee burton and james alan hetfield.Tthey were barely out of their teens wow. The closest vibe to this is a couple of cream tunes and kyuss cliff you were special .Metallicas mid to late 80s albums were not only epic they are metal comfort food.
They would have went in a similar direction. Cliff was even more open minded musically than the other guys, especially James were at the time. He stated in an interview that one of his favorite band around the time of Master of Puppets was R.E.M of all bands. He was also into Skynard, BoC, and a bunch of other shit.
A brilliant musician, taken too early. I can only name three bassists who even come close to his level or better: Les Claypool, Robert Trujillo, and Charles Mingus, all of very different styles. I hope he's rocking it up wherever he's at. RIP Cliff.
I'd never heard that little shimmer by hammer in the intro before. It's so subtle it never came through on any medium I've owned. It's perfectly placed, though. Glad I've heard it.
I completely agree, James has admitted that he learned most of his picking techniques from cliff, plus, you can distinguish his musical input in RTL and MOP from any other album, maybe he wasn't perfect, or the best but he was definitely a musical genious
The man who taught James what harmony is without him Metallica would be only just another metal band...

Nolan Lenard agreed
You have some videos? I want to see that
I think about how good he would be now if he was as old as the rest of the band. It blows my mind to even fathom it. RIP Cliff.
I think he was already the best, maybe that is why God took him! I can not even imagine!
he was already virtuoso like at that time, he was too good for metallica in my opinion...
Ho
***** I wouldn't really say he was far from it, from the amount he practiced and studied music theory he was pretty damn close.
I can certainly agree with that he is no jaco or chris but considering how good he was at that young of an age he most certainly would have be up there with them if he were still alive.
The fills Cliff does in between his bass lines never distracts from the song and only adds to it. Amazing.
He makes the song.
That’s the mark of a true lead or melodic bass player. John Entwistle did it a lot as well.
And that's what defines a great bass player as Great and not just good or good enough. Anyone can learn bass fairly quickly if all u do is play the root notes in rhythm. But when u can write a bass line that follows the root notes and basic melody but u walk them scales and add fills and different melody parts that stray away from what the guitarist are doin and still sounds good together in stead of being like is the bassist playing the right song? Then that's how u know you've achieved greatness. Anyone can play 3 notes.or chords I a 1234 melody in 4/4 3/4 timing and theres nothing wrong with that usually that's how I start off writing my songs. Start simple and then add add add. But when u watch bands play u can tell who's just good and who's great and cliff burton was great
It is notes in between
You could never hear it in the actual mix though. Bass booster is a great thing!

I'd never heard that little shimmer by hammer in the intro before. It's so subtle it never came through on any medium I've owned. It's perfectly placed, though. Glad I've heard it.
I completely agree, James has admitted that he learned most of his picking techniques from cliff, plus, you can distinguish his musical input in RTL and MOP from any other album, maybe he wasn't perfect, or the best but he was definitely a musical genious
One of the best songs ever..
How'd he get that intro sound? I just cant replicate it with the gear I have
Lots of chorus, I guess. The bigger mistery is intro to Damage Inc.
swell, probably reveresed, multiple layers (for Damage)
Swell, multiple layers like the other guy said and synth and distortion pedals
