According to "the hardcore metal fans", Metallica sold out when: they recorded a ballad (Fade to Black) in 1984, when they signed out with a major (MOP, 1986), when they released a video (One, 1988), when they slowed down (black album, 1991), when they cut their hair and were more influenced by blues and hard rock (Load/Reload, 96/96), when they made an album without solos (St. Anger, 2003), when they came back to the thrashier heavier sound (Death Magnetic, 2009)… So yeah. Fuck whatever the people say.
@@nmlss You left out the only one that pisses me off about them (didn't care about any of the others you listed)... When they actually accepted & didn't hand the Grammy they received for that nauseating crap (blah blah blah my soul to keep) to Lemmy who it rightfully belonged to & demanded Jethro Tull give them their rightful Grammy for "One".
I'm not a bassist, I play guitar but still this man has inspired me a lot. You guys all also did. You're the reason I'm in that place. Thank you Metallica
Same, also I've said this like 8 times but how are you always in ever comment section I opened I changed display name and icon but I think it used to be holypoip by the way
I'm not into the " Cliff was better than.." "Jason was better than...' "Rob is better than..." Cliff Burton was unique in his own style and left an indelible mark on Metallica, on an entire genre and on people, back then and forever. And for that, he deserves to be remembered when the time is come.
He gave them their style, brought so much to the band, compare Kill 'em all to the next two so much different when he joined and was involved in writing music.
The unique thing about Cliff wasn't just his ability as a musician,but also his knowledge of music,James and Kirk learned alot from him about timing and harmony.
Even tho I wasn't born in the same era he was in, I fucking miss the man I cry everytime I hear Orion. Imagine all the other masterpiece he could've created R.I.P Cliff Burton🕊
I was at the Edmonton show just last week ... Orion on Night-1 and The Call of Ktulu on Night-2 .. During both when James looked at the sky and paid his tribute and respect to Cliff along with 120,000 people on both nights, you could feel the love for Cliff throughout the stadium ! Wherever you are Cliff, love and respect ! Thank you for your awesome music. Taken too early !!!
People can say whatever they want about Metallica, but they’ve never, ever forgotten Cliff. And they continue to put videos like this out (as well as the incredible live videos) for all us fans. They always try to do right by us 🤘🏻
I was Lucky enough to see Cliff play in New Orleans in 1986. Mom and dad finally let me go see Ozzy in concert and Metallica was opening. Never heard of them, but it changed everything.
I’m only 14 so I was never close to seeing him, but as of a few days ago in Seattle Ive seen y’all play 5 times. Those are all experiences I will never forget.
Pratchett had an interesting take on this, basically it's that every man dies twice. First when his body goes but also again when his name is uttered for the last time. GNU Terry Pratchett GNU Cliff Burton
When I talk to people. They don't understand. Cliff was the Maestro. In interviews , Kirk explains how Cliff put the pieces together. James would be working on something for hours . When they went to Cliff he would fix it in minutes. I wish I could have met him. My first memories of metallica started when I was 7. Seeing the "One" video. By that time Cliff had already passed. In some way , I kinda feel like the reason "One" stood out to me. Made a great impact on me. Made me want to go back in the catalog to discover Cliff. What an amazing artist.
I remember first listening to it in September 2009 at age 18. I'm a late bloomer in this context, but I love how Mr. Burton's fingers have produced rhythmic and appealing sound. Sad that he died in the September 27, 1986 accident. I survived the May 7, 2010 bike accident. Lost the guitar playing ability due to neural damage. Still, I hope to play guitar like I used to do.
Rest In Peace to one of the greatest figures in metal to ever walk the earth. Keep shaking the skies Cliff, I hope you're still playing wherever you went. 🤘🤘
Those stills show a man in complete control of his instrument. Power, creativity, subtlety, abandon... I broke my arm two weeks ago. 6 months before I even know if I'll be able to play my bass again...
The way this man has been my fav bassist for awhile now. I admire him so much and he's the reason I play bass myself now. I wish I would get the chance to shake his hand and just thank him for what he means to me as a 15 year old fan.
Man that Friday and Sunday concert at Seattle (August 30th - September 1st) was fucking crazy!! My voice was almost gone, happy to be apart of the Metallica family 🤘 rest in peace cliff, may not be related but will always be a fucking brother to us 🕊️ ❤️🤘
No one has or will ever come close to the original sounds and creativity that Cliff Burton could produce with a bass guitar. He was a virtuoso in every sense of the word. R.I.P Cliff Burton 🙏
I got to see Cliff in April 1986 when they opened for Ozzy. Cliff is one of the reasons i started playing bass. You can just imagine what he would of done if he had lived. The mans definitely a legend and will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Cliff
Cliff had a positive impact on me and I’m sure many of us. Seeing videos of the late Ray Burton on RUclips, I know where Cliff got it from. Rest in peace to both.
I cant imagine being in a band , being early 20s, making one of the most iconic records ever and being on tour not just stadiums but with one of your heros (Ozzy). That must have been a time. RIP, Cliff.
Cliff is a catalyst for music. Not just metal. Think about the ripple effect this man caused simply by picking up a bass for the first time. Taken too soon but will live forever. Cliff 'em all!
I am very impressed with Cliff Burton's bass-playing skills. He was able to create the best instrumental pieces for Metallica in their early days with his unique style of playing and I can listen to it all day long. He is truly a master of the bass for Metallica. R.I.P Cliff Burton 🕊
As a fan since 1983, the passing of Cliff hit me pretty hard. I was 18 and deep into the metal scene when I discovered Metallica on a Megaforce Records compilation tape. I was hooked ever since. Even though he left us way too early, I am SO glad he was here, and glad he, and the others, kept me on the metal path even to this day. I took my 17 year old son to see Metallica in Foxboro, MA last month. He knows the impact Cliff had on the band, and metal in general. I am honored to keep his memory alive in my son, and hoping he can pass that to his future kids. LONG LIVE CLIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.
When we are triggered into tearing up at the sound of a few iconic bars....😢 We did not know Cliff personally but his life and work had an eternal affect on millions of us. ❤
Man! This song brings back memories of 5th grade! I remember hearing this song for the 1st time. I had never heard anything like it. Truely inspirational as a bass player to listen to it. ❤
Thank you Cliff for this amazing bass solo and for all your music, and thank you Metallica for this amazing virtual exhibition, you allow us to learn more about Cliff, as a musician and as a person❤️ Rest in Peace Cliff🙏🏻🕊️
Cliff was great at making music, very creative, really talented. Will be remembered forever! ❤ The fact is that nobody could fill his shoes. Jason was great for the group, but in a different way.
Thank you, Cliff. Orion is one my absolute all time favorite Metallica songs; and any song for that matter. Cliff, you knew how to write masterfully, with amazing technique and precision. Your work will never be forgotten. Every this man made was beautiful. Rest in Power, Cliff Burton 🕊️🎸 Thank you.
Rest in Power, Cliff. Gone, but never forgotten. An Icon to inspire generations upon generations of bassists.
Not just bassists, but musicians in general
@@Mr.K2022 I'm crap at all instruments, Cliff is still an inspiration!!
@@Mr.K2022 Totally
Bloody well said, mate!
Got me playing bass at 14 with a fuzz pedal and a wah I got his tone but no one could ever get close to his playing
"We do what we wanna do, you know? If they consider that selling out then.. whatever."
- Cliff Burton 🕊️
What surprises me most is how this phrase is even applied to his future albums in which he was no longer present.
@@Angela-kw1ny it’s exactly how I would be myself if I was in a band it’s like if there is haters oh well you can’t please everybody
You'd think that's enough to settle the matter. Yes, they sold out. So fucking what?

@@TheCookiemonster14 the budget also helped. They were given a lot more money to make Ride the Lightning so were able to do a lot more fancy stuff.
Cliff was a genius !
@@Fireglo I don't see where a budget mattered that much. They weren't even big till Puppets when they toured with Ozz.
R.I.P Cliff and Ray Burton🎸
Think 🤔😢😢😢whole family has pass on now. 😢😢 JS ✌️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Will never be forgotten
Only got one left by his sister
Damn, I didn't even know he was sick
i think i follow u on tt
Thank you Cliff Burton
The most iconic bass player in metal. Rest in peace Cliff.
I would love to have seen Cliff and Lemmy dualing on stage. Hopefully they are right now, laughing their asses off :)
Even tho I wasn't born in the same era he was in, I fucking miss the man I cry everytime I hear Orion. Imagine all the other masterpiece he could've created R.I.P Cliff Burton🕊
Orion was amazing in Seattle on Friday, Cliff was there in spirit.
@@kevinempson9892 i was in the verge of tears the entire time they were playing Orion in Edmonton!
I never knew it's possible to miss someone you never met so deeply until Clifford
Rest in peace Cliff Burton, but may his legacy never die
One of the most amazing bass solos for one of the most amazing bassists ever!
I was at the Edmonton show just last week ... Orion on Night-1 and The Call of Ktulu on Night-2 ..

When they played Ktulu it was awesome ❤
Cliff lives on every time someone plays his music. Let’s keep pushing for those who’re no longer with us.

So long as his name is spoken and his music listened to or played Cliff will never be forgotten

It's like a nice, wholesome bed time story.
A story with climax that keeps you awake, hiding under the blanket.
Live forever Cliff

Rest in Peace Cliff Burton. Inspired not only generations of bassists to come, but an inspiration to all. You will be missed. 🕊
Thank you Cliff this amazing bass solo. A Legend
The man that inspired me to pick up the bass more than 30 years ago. Thank you Cliff!
I literally wore out 3 VHS tapes of Cliff Em All in the 80s and 90s. Got Cliff tattooed on me early 90s. Such an inspiration.
That man was a force of nature. Truly the Jimi Hendrix of bass. Long live Cliff \m/

I was born in 1998, so I couldn't known about you when you were alive, Cliff, but I love you anyway, thank you for the legacy you've given us 👊🏿☠️👊🏿🍻
Cliff Burton will always be remembered as the greatest bass player that ever lived.
better than Sean Malone?
or Tony Levin?
🤔
opinions vary.
Love your music, your style and the legacy you've left!!!❤ R.I.P. you will never be forgotten, my hero, Cliff! 🕊️☘️
cliff always gonna be the most important bass player to the history
Especially in metal history, many great bass players took inspiration from cliff, it shows how much of an impact he still is making today!
The best
There's this guy called Geezer also.
no bass player has had more influence, then cliff with a godamn wah pedal for a bass guitar
HOW ABOUT STEVE HARRIS???? YOURE WELCOME.
Cliff will never die. His spirit and his soul is still here and will remain on forever
Thank you Cliff.
Literally the best bassist of all time like no one else but the major rager of the four string RIP Cliff
Strong disagree
Cliff was very skilled and contributed so much to the best band to ever exist, Metallica!
This, much like Anesthesia, is an undeniable masterpiece
Rest In Peace to one of the greatest figures in metal to ever walk the earth. Keep shaking the skies Cliff, I hope you're still playing wherever you went. 🤘🤘
Those stills show a man in complete control of his instrument. Power, creativity, subtlety, abandon... I broke my arm two weeks ago. 6 months before I even know if I'll be able to play my bass again...
...Been listening to this since I got the Cliff 'Em All VHS! Sounds as incredible today, as it did then. Thanks so much, Cliff!
