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.
@@garri5108 It's Lars' opinion in fact.
#3 has always been the saddest few bars of music I've ever heard. At least, outside classical music.
@@garri5108 It really is a fact actually.
This is from encycmet, right? It feels word for word the same.
The ending is cut short because is goes directly to Dyers Eve. It gives an effect of surprise when you listen to the whole album from start to finish the first time. That's why I always listen to albums that way. They were written as a whole and not as just a bunch of tracks that happened to be released at the same time in some arbitrary order.
The song abruptly stops and goes straight into Dyer's Eve on the album.
Exactly. The end is introduction to the next song, which they done already on this channel if I remember correctly
Wilss Interrupted abruptly like Cliff's life. One of the most intense and emotional metal songs, for sure metallica's most emotional song.
Dyer's Eve here LIVE, 4 years before Metallica played it live and 4 years after they saw us play it live.

Yeah
A respect paid to the late Cliff Butron.
RIP Cliff........This song was his last writing credit and his only credit on the Justice album. Such a gifted musician......taken way to soon.......
Mark LaBonte, his gloomy influence on Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets was unmistakingly missing on later albums (made worse by Ulrich killing bass levels in mixing). Always wondered how the Black album would have been with Cliff.
well said those 2 albums are just complete masterpieces man what we missed when Cliff passed away
Oh absolutely! This song had a couple bass riffs he wrote but was never used, from what Iv'e read. And are you kidding me..........I doubt we'd recognize the Black album if he was there. His classical influence mixed with thunder is unmistakable!!
I would be surprised if they headed in that far of a commercial direction with Cliff still around.
@@kitoyobeni1 as Lars has said, we may have gone there sooner because of Cliff. He said Cliff was more interested in more poppy sounding stuff. He knows him better than us, so I'll take his word.
I've come to the conclusion that this song is the metal five stages of grief. Beginning (happy section) denial, then the 'verse' and 'chorus' are anger. First melodic part and first solo are bargaining. Then the slow section including James' solo is depression. Then lastly, Cliff's poem is the beginning of acceptance.
Nunca lo había considerado como lo explicas, pero es posible que sea así. Este álbum está lleno de enojo y catarsis sobre cartas malas que da la vida.
I love coming across personal insights like this in the comment section. I’ll never hear this song the same way again. And I’ve been obsessed with it for over 20 years.
Yea for sure. I heard it a bunch and was like yea this is a banger for sure! But over a decade later when I realized what u said it totally changed how I felt. I mean it's still a banger but it just made me so sad realizing the meaning. I was brought to tears. To this day I can't listen to this song without crying.
7:11 - 8:33 is perhaps the most beautiful piece the band has ever written.
Lucy Myers Without a doubt. James' solo in here is my favourite Metallica solo.
Agreed. It's the first song ever to hit home (make me cry) and that part specifically did it.
say no more... beautiful than Orion imho
You ain’t lying bro it might be the greatest ever
This makes metallica the greatest metal band
RIP Cliff Burton...
*MEGADETH* "A Tout Le Monde" and "In My Darkest Hour" were Dave Mustaine's tributes to Cliff Burton using parts of memories of their last conversations. Dave says he didn't know any other way to portray their friendship and his emotions.
Michael Von Drake i tho IMD tributes to Diana who Dave Mustaine's ex girlfriend
@@darkthrone9848 Dave composed the music in IMD right after knowing that cliff had died, but the lyrics are about Diana
It's one of my favorites from them, it's so beautiful.
Hi there cousin!
I totally agree chick it's a masterpiece, emotional al the way metallica forever 🤘
Bonitas são as almas daquelas pessoas que ainda conseguem perceber a beleza e a profundidade em músicas como esta. 👏
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always believed this to be a damn masterpiece. Thanks so much for this one guys!
It IS a masterpiece!!!!!
The entire album And Justice for All was a masterpiece! Imo
damn right this song is fucking phenomenal
IT IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!! This is the song that made me WANT to play guitar!!!!!!!!!
My cousin gave me a TAPE of this whole album, and I BEGGED FOR A GUITAR!
To answer some of your questions
"This song is a tribute to Cliff Burton. The bass line is medley of unused recordings that Cliff performed prior to his death. Because the original recordings are not used on the track, the composition is credited as written by Burton and played by Newsted. The spoken word at the end of the song (“When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.”) was written by German poet Paul Gerhardt, but was erroneously attributed to Burton in the liner notes. The second half of the speech (“All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?”) was written by Burton.
This spoken word passage is one that the members of the band often recall Cliff saying - so much so that the last two lines are marked on his grave site. “To Live is to Die” is the last Metallica catalog piece accredited to Cliff Burton chronologically, as he was working on it prior to his death.
For years, this song was never performed live in its entirety. At best, only an excerpt from the melodic bridge was performed on guitars and bass during the tour following this album. This changed in 2011, when it was performed in full for the first time ever as part of the 30 Years of Metallica festival."
That acoustic break , will forever be my favorite emotional part of any song ever, so amazing omg.. You can so clearly feel in the song that they miss him, that feeling is so strong, almost palpable.. :(
Almost palpable, like my ass, haha sry it's late and Im tipsy xD
English is not my primary, but yeah..I keep forgetting about that word, I'll change it
😂
Cuando uno está borracho sale la mejor poesía 😉
Cliff was a classicly trained musician and absolute artist on the bass guitar. He is even to this day pretty much the top dog when it comes to mad skills on the bass. He had a huge influence on Metallicas music and he died when he was 24... He was only getting started and he was robbed from us. All the music he would have created with James, Lars and Kirk... Man, we missed out on some truly epic stuff.
This song was created by riffs made by Cliff and the lyrics were something he used to repeat all over the place. The first part is from some German poet and the second part is all Cliff. Metallica has played this song once live in its full length. I don't think they will ever truly get over Cliffs passing and they shouldn't... Especially the way things went down.
Finally someone who got the meaning of the tribute song, especially the only spoken words, only the second part was from Cliff.
Niimpä
well actually, he died because kirk and him did a draw of cards, and he got kirks bed cause of it, so either way someone was going to die, and either way, the band would have lost a great member
I think they don’t like to play it live because it’s just so complicated.
Like so many different changes and instrumental parts .
@carsonwood2095 perhaps it is due to the complicated nature of this song. But most who listen to this song have multiple different emotion reactions from beginning to end, even people who do not know Metallica or the history of the band or even the significance of this song, emotions are conjured up as the notes are played.
We will never truly know why it has hardly ever been played live, it may be that even after all these years this song still makes the members feel a pain that can never truly heal.
The ending is cut short because is goes directly to Dyers Eve. It gives an effect of surprise when you listen to the whole album from start to finish the first time. That's why I always listen to albums that way. They were written as a whole and not as just a bunch of tracks that happened to be released at the same time in some arbitrary order.
You're soooo right!!!
Back when people were lucky enough to be able to listen to an entire album beginning to end.... and thus one is one of my favorites
@@frankthebutcher6679 Nothing is stopping you from doing it today. There are still artists who compose their albums in this manner. Not everything is adapted to people with the attention span of a gold fish.
Fred P sadly. Some music is like that today. Just random songs and words out together.
if you grew up in the 80's there was no RUclips we had to listen to the record or tape from start to finish. it will take forever to fast forward to a song you want to hear. Damn Milennials dont understand smh
6:43 - right in the feels
Oh the feels!
seriously, you could cut the feeling behind that solo with a knife!
Tru story
Greatest Metallica riff ever.
This parts is one of my all time favourite parts in music overall
Sori got it spot on wow. That instrumental was the ultimate expression of the band’s dealing with Cliff’s loss. Im astounded of your musical sensitivity. Great stuff!
Erwin Agustin She always provides the interesting commentary on the music while Vin usually goes off on tangents talking about unimportant stuff.
@@Walamonga1313 So straight but true at the same time, dude. xD Women are way more sentimental than we are.
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of the Seventh Son
Iron Maiden? Excellent! [air guitar]
Sanitarium now and then The Call of Ktulu please!
Why do you care what they think?
Skitspel buuuuuuut The LIVE version !!!
It's called Welcome Home, not Sanitarium
It's called Welcome Home (Sanitarium), I know that, but I have never met anyone that calls it Welcome Home. Even Metallica them selves call it Sanitarium.
then Suicide and Redemtion
Lars on his prime. Kirk on his prime. For those who don't understand age pays it's toll to everybody. I remember listening to this song back when the album was released and left me with an strange emotion all the time. Until I came to know the song was about Cliff, then it took a different perspective to me.
Kirk licks balls.
Hetfield kills on this tune.
vorpalblade 13 I don't know based on what you say that about Kirk. This is one of those things about social media and I'm proud to grew my teens without it. It's like when you visit a buffet bar to pig out and don't even taste the food, but you go back for more. At the end you're not satisfied even when you ate from most of the dishes were displayed, and you say: "the food was horrible, it licked balls"
Kirk is a Legend and many from back in the day. He's got his own signature tone and style. Nobody makes music like this anymore!
vorpalblade 13 Agree with the second statement. I mean, this was when Kirk still had good solos but Hetfield's solo is just way better.
Walamonga 1313 Kirk does not suck, even remotely. He has incredible solos in the first five records. Hetfield is just a 10/10 musician, every time he solos the melody is really unbelievable. And his riffs are second to none, without talking about the fact that he even sings too.
The Batman Never said he sucked
Metallica always makes me think of my brother. Particularly, the song One. That was his favorite Metallica song. He passed away in 2013. That week was the hardest week of my life. I barely ate or slept. But the one thing that would always make me feel better is music. Certain songs were difficult to listen to because of how much he loved them. Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd were extremely difficult for me. Now, these songs put a smile on my face because I remember how happy he was when he listened to them. I would really like to see you two listen to Simple Man and Wish You Were Here.
I know what you mean, I lost my brother earlier this year. Not so much with Metallica, but bands/movies and other things that were shared interests of ours can really hit home and surprise and shock you. I come across new movies and bands that I want to share with him that I know I never will be able to, and it really drives home that he is gone. Love and miss you bro....
My condolences to you both. I lost my Mother to a drunk driver after Christmas but before the new year of 2016. It's so bizarre how songs change meaning when you've had a heavy loss in life.
Damn, it looks like you both took a trip on this one. This is my favorite Metallica song. My eyes well up during that melodic section every time. RIP Cliff
My favorite of all the Metallica instrumentals and a perfect setup to the awesome closer Dyer's Eve. I remember when "And Justice For All" first came out. I was in Middle School and I heard a classmate playing this song in particular. You could just feel the emotion coming out of the instrumental. Plus those guitar harmonies and the beautiful words towards the end of the song! So good.
When bands made albums instead of singles...
8:06 James Hetfield’s solo! He put his soul on that solo, so emotional you can feel it.
Yes actually the ending was cut short on purpose
Iron Maiden - Afraid to Shoot Strangers
Awesome review. This is one of my favorite Metallica songs
This is one of the most moving pieces of music Metallica ever wrote. Cliff Burton was bass Melody personified. His bass on For Whom The Bell Tolls was magnificent and his bass solo Amnesia (Pulling Teeth) was incredible.
When his death was announced it was bad. I just couldn't believe it and then to see the pictures made it worse.
Cliff wrote the riffs, the surviving members put them together and released it as a tribute to him.
Not proven. But could be.
I came back to "to live is to die" after years and now I cant stop replaying it.....its AWESOMENESS
IRON MAIDEN - Caught Somewhere In Time - 1986 !!!!
Darkice Metal Film please! I love this song
Yes. My favorite
Anything from that album is golden... Especially the history lesson we get in "Alexander the Great".
Sugestions:
Iron Maiden - Twilight Zone
AC/DC - Hell ain't no bad place to be
Helloween - Victim of fate
Deep Purple - Burn
P.S. I am from Brazil
Metallica - Battery and Hate Train
Megadeth - Burnt Ice, Symphony of Destruction and Washington is Next!
Hate train?
@@turningkiller8737 It's on the Beyond Magnetic EP
turningkiller8 why not? Mix it up.
Just a Bullet Away or Rebel of Babylon would be better though.
This track just brought tears to my eyes (which is the first time in a long time). One of the best reaction vids Ive seen. Subbed.
08:07 always brings tears to my eyes...
Metallica - Bleeding Me
Yeah, it cuts right into Dyer's Eve. This was Cliff's last Riff and lyrics. Lars and James turned into their last instrumental until "Suicide & Redemption" many years later. Kirk of course ripped the solo but also helped with the arrangement, and Jason just honored his idol. Jason said, there were a lot of tears lost on this recording and a lot of alcohol consumed.
Metallica - Low Man's Lyric
Moon Gazer YES
I don’t think they will like that... (or at least vin)
THANK YOU! Been waiting for this video for a little while. Motorbreath, Eye of The Beholder and The Outlaw Torn reactions please!
“Afraid to shoot strangers” IRON MAIDEN please please!! Heeyy👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
YES!
Amen to that
Powerslave first
To Tame A Land and Flash of the Blade too.
dejv and Alexander the great
You should react to "Eye of the beholder" or "...and justice for all" from same album
Rapper: says 150 words/minute, doesn't gives you a single emotion
Metallica: not a single word spoken in 6 minutes, brings tears to my eyes
That’s the difference between amazing talented musicians and untalented, uncultured Scarface wannabes
Very true
man you guys still hating on other genres huh....
Shut the hell up, you sound like an ignorant dumbass. What about the Metal songs that exist out there that don’t give you a single emotion? And what about the rappers who DO give you an emotion? How much Hip-Hop do you even know? I know tons of emotional Hip-Hop songs. I love Metallica, I own every album, I know their catalog like the back of my hand, and they’re one of my top 3. But Hip-Hop is my favorite genre, I know a lot of it. But clearly you don’t. And if you don’t know it, don’t assume you do. For you to make an idiotic statement like that proves your ignorance to the subject you’re speaking on.
@@PotawatomiThunderNew triggered lol
To get a true appreciation for what the world of music lost when Cliff died you should really listen to Metallica - (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth+Whiplash
You guys should really do Fixxxer or The Outlaw Torn... it's in a way they are sucessors to this song with the perspective of loss from a distance.
The Outlaw Torn 100%
Fixxxer is epic
Yeah, up there with classic music masterpieces y Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven...Cliff liked classic music. Best song!
megadeth- five magics its a pretty bad ass song
Agree with you man!!! \m/ \m/
its pretty funny to learn, is that Guts in your picture ?
Yes
I'm with you!!!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutely one of them masterpieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kirk's solos are very strong, James' second solo is powerful and full of soul!!!!!!!!!! You can feel the emotion from this music, man!!!!!!!!! Lyrics by James and partly by Cliff Burton (R.I.P., legend!!!!!).
If i'm not mistaken this is Cliff's last song he worked on before his death.
Not proven. Maybe tho.
@@TheOriginalGayman it is because metallica said they used parts of the riffs cliff was working for the song but he didnt actually contribuited to the song the members just used the riffs and stuff he had written
Those bass melodies in the song were written by Cliff Burton. His last compositions.
That middle section gets me every time. It’s so powerful and moving
oh my god thANK YOU
I've listened to this song, and album overall, so much. Dad's re-recorded tape from late Soviet years or right after it. So much emotion in this song. That's my childhood, #1 Metallica album.
And still so much goosebumps. This song is such a masterpiece.
I know it's Orion for most fans, but this is my Cliff song. The interlude/solo is the saddest piece of music I've ever heard outside classical music, which is disassociated from any common grief that we might feel for Cliff.
Iron Maiden - Blood Brothers (Rock in Rio)
The original studio version
I am really happy you two reacted to this powerful, emotional song. One of my favorites and this was THE song that impacted me when I was listening to this at a young age (this was also my first Metallica album). Thank you for taking the time to review and discuss this. It hits home to many of us. Much love.
I suggest Iron Maiden , "For the Greater Goods of God". AWESOME!
R.I.P CLIFF BURTON 🤘🤘😭
I love when the people remember Cliff but I don't like when they say things like "Cliff was Metallica" ,"Metallica died when Cliff died" .
The hearth ,soul and creative force of Metallica is called James Hetfield and Metallica will die when he stops breathing.btw great reaction
This is the second Metallica song I learned on bass... For whom the bell tolls was my first.
I love playing this song.... ✌🏻🙏🏻🤟🏻
Great song! Good book too! RIP Cliff Burton.
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (live in tilburg).
I agree that if they do another Porcupine Tree reaction it needs to be a live version.
This whole song is a representation of the process of losing somebody, the intro is so calming and smooth and out of nowhere DUM DUM DUM here comes death out of nowhere creeping and a terrible accident happens, oh loool just saw someone write a similar comment to the fullest..so I'll just leave it here :) go read what he said
Cliff for me and for many others was was a true inspiration for picking up an instrument, for how they play and bringing them to a classical style of writing.
In terms of the band discussing Cliff and the events that followed there’s one that always chokes me up.
I believe it was Kirk mentioning in a documentary that James late at night, completely drunk was staggering around the streets screaming for Cliff.
On the "AJFA" Album "Dyers Eve" is right after "To live is to die" so it kinda sounds like the "intro" to Dyers Eve, actually you can hear that one last note from "To live is to die" in the first half second of "Dyers Eve" best way to "fix" that abrupt ending is to listen to both songs in a row. ;-) greetings from Germany! Lassts´ krachen ;-)
The middle section makes me crying everytime. It's so sad. Rip Cliff
in case you didn't know those short lines was what Cliff was working on but was not able to finish because of his death.
Iron Maiden - 22 Acacia Avenue!!!
@15:30 Cliff Burton as a musician was something very special. It's been 31 years and I can still feel and remember the impact of it. It took many years for the band to deal with it. Check out Some Kind Of Monster when Lars and Dave Mustaine are really talking about how much it affected them still then
One of my favorite songs. I hate to explain to people how an instrumental can say something without vocals. Sori's interpretation of this song was perfect on the first listen. Thanks for sharing this one you two.
Type O Negative - Everything Dies, Death In The Family or Everyone I Love Is Dead.
Megadeth- Five Magics
Original version is a must! Remaster vocals are so bad.
Such a great song dude
@@Megadeth1983Fan yeah, i really hate the remastered version.
this song paints such a picture. no instrumental does as much for me than this one. when the guitar starts to sound like its on an old radio, every time I get the picture of an old wooden house, painted white with the paint chipping off, in the high grass of a beach area. I cannot see the beach but I know it is near. the music is coming from inside the small house. there is no glass on the windows. yet I know what I want is in that house. I can never make it inside before the music ends.
it's a masterpiece guys. it was overlooked back then but the track actually grabs you emotionally.
some of us are so use to fast pace metallica and never thought of actually imbracing the music
IN CREATIVE FASHION NO MATTER THE TEMPO. the music speaks. a classic art.
The orchestral sound in the middle of this song is bar none, the best thing ever. Cliff Burton was very much in to classical music, and introduced the other members to it.
Those volume swells sound very much like a violin. I think it's just a subtle nod to Cliff and his influence on them.
AJFA is their angriest album. The 1st three records hit hard and heavy. But this one? This is filled with a lot of emotion.
My fav Metallica instrumental ever as is tribute to Cliff. Some of paraphrase are on cliffs gravestone. Being that and justice for all is the first Metallica album that I brought when I was 10 in 1988, this song gives me goosebumps every time. R.i.p legend Cliff Burton . Pure masterpiece . Fact that start and finish are same. Start of life/ end of life.
hey...thank you...its nice to listen to this with people who appreciate it...this song is important to me...i will listen to this with you repeatedly
I cried the first time I heard this song and I didnt even know the backstory. The power of music, man.
"cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home" was something the rest of the guys in the band said Cliff used to say all the time
The best Metallica album in my opinion.
Thanks for letting that play. I needed the song apparently, and it was cool to be able to sort of listen to it with someone who hadn't heard it.
Gotta remember, they were all there in that crash, on that bus together. They each survived the trauma of the same accident that took Cliff. And more than that - they saw him. And they were there at the crash site for a while.That's fkn nightmare fuel. That song touches something that touches that, imo.
This song is like the musical interpretation of the stages of grief great insight guys
Bathory - A Fine Day to Die
4:46 whenever my mom heard me play this song back when I was like 10 she would always call this the Rod Jeremy riff and I never understood why.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written!!
You two love each other so much, I can tell it’s precious what you two have. Thanks for reacting to my favourite band of all time!
Opeth- Heir Apparent, The Moor, Demon Of The Fall
julio gonzalez I’d say the moor out of those choices
Face of Malinda!
If you pick Heir Apparent, then just play Coil before also.
I'd rather have them do Master's Apprentice :D
The end blasts straight into dyers eve .cliff wrote this what a great track to end on.R.I.P. CLIFF.
Don't really watch reaction videos but love you guys. Much love for keeping it real not just reacting.
I love how when Kirks guitar comes in @8:06 you can see the emotion on Sori's face.
That’s James
Thats James's
Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys 🎃🎃🎃
Morbid Angel invocation of the continual one
R.I.P. Brother Cliff .... Thanks Vin & Sori for this one .... Soulfly - Tribe
I may eventually comment deeper but for right now, thank you. Much respect to you two.
RIP Clifford!
"Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
Love how you guys have such good taste, and can appreciate the classics. Cliff wrote the skeleton to this song, and the boys finished afterward. RIP CLIFF, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
Every time Sori goes off on a tangent Vin looks like he’s about to backhand her. Lol. Love you guys.
Lol I’ll like it even tho I can’t watch it just yet , love this instrumental !
Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds
Yes.
Symphony and Metallica - The Call of Ktulu!!!
this song is made of compositions that cliff was working on. the band just put them together and released it. i know it was a tribute to cliff but all those parts were works in progress and not fully developed.
i love how there is so much emotion from this song, and how it speaks to you without words.
Bathory - A Fine Day to Die w/ the album intro
The ending is cut short as on the album it goes straight into Dyer’s Eve.
07:11 instant tears... so many memories.
I'm always floored when this song plays, beautiful. Thanks for reviewing it!
