ANDRIY!!! ATTENTION! haha I’m reposting this hoping you’ll see it, it’s a comment I made about this on your Metallica Easter eggs video regarding this thing!! ANDRIY!!!! I hope you read these comments!!! I can absolutely confirm the mystery guitar part on Orion! First of all 28 years ago, I bought that tab book, I was always able to hear that part with headphones, but it really came to my attention when I did an acoustic cover of Orion in 2006 - Basically I ended up, figuring it out exactly the way you are playing it in this video (The exact variation that you play in this video, not the other variations that are in your Orion video, which I’m going to post this comment there to increase the chances of you seeing this LOL) so here it is - I was working download festival And I was there for the sound check And to cut a long story short after they had blasted through a song from hardwired (I forget which one) Someone on the board said something about the clean guitar and James patch switched And just when he started messing around, finger picking something, robs guitar tech started to play the Orion middle section part - not unusual …HOWEVER for about less than 10 seconds James played THAT part with his clean tone! I was FOH and my head span so quick to see it I nearly give myself whiplash (no pun intended) I couldn’t see for long enough but I heard those exact notes And I could see his hand was in the same position on the neck, He called my attention quickly because I had been messing around with pretty much all of the same variations that you were doing. When I was recording it, and I settled on exactly the same thing you are playing and basically just like me you have over thought it on the very first thing you thought it was… It was. It’s 100% the way you’re playing it, I heard it isolated, saw the neck position, heard it from James himself albeit for seconds, but it was there! He just gave the tech a smile, and then stopped playing it - This is one of those things that I never thought anyone apart from me would give a shit about, but just like you, I have had that thing for most of my life about playing the songs as accurately as possible and it’s always been an annoying mystery to me how difficult some of the songs are to get the actual correct notes figure it out - Anyway, I really hope you see this and you can put a line under this one finally ha ha. Any questions or anything like that you may have you can hit me up broski! Cheers 🍻
Hey! That’s awesome, thank you so much for sharing. And I almost forgot I had made this video 😆 Funny how, despite the fact that we have (most of) the stems, Orion still keeps giving. Once again, thanks for sharing and taking time to write in detail. Maybe we finally get to making a big Orion breakdown in the future. Cheers!
Banjo player James is the scariest version of him. You can see him playing it on “A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica” documentary. James even had his Lynyrd Skynyrd fashion phase in 1991 too.
It’s very odd that kirk and James’ riff and solo tapes can be found virtually anywhere but all cliff’s tapes disappeared. He practiced for a third of his day and supposedly nothing was recorded to listen back on? I hope some come up one day, I bet there were a lot of good unused ideas.
He came in the studio, when James, Lars and Kirk recorded their parts (of MOP) and returned to America. He recorded his bass after other instrumets, so probably because of that we dont have any of his tapes at this moment(
@@AndriyVasylenko There's also a chance that Kirk recorded some demo basses as it's known that he plays bass too, on known demos bass is player either by then-current bass players or James, but it's because some demos were recorded by James and Lars without the rest, however If Orion demo was recorded with Kirk and without Cliff, then there's a chance that Kirk played demo bass.
I used to work at a record store. The owner was an old concert promoter. He told stories of booking shows for metallica with cliff AND dave in the band still. And also post dave!!
@@eduardomirandaneto or rank Slayer albums? I loved the Megadeth one and I'm a huge fan of both Slayer and your channel, and would like to hear your opinion on the lesser-known albums, but just a thought. lol
The question you asked on the first part, it is the only question that can explain the situation but it is a question that needs to be answered. You would be a great philosopher 👌🏻
I think "that basspart" wich starts somewhere arround 3:30 or 3:50 is my favourite part of all music i've ever heard. Since i heard it the first time i never struggeld again about the question, if Cliff was a human or an epic heroe .
Well! Look what we have here.... I stumbled onto this and decided to check it out. And here's a guy who's very passionate about one of my favorite Metallica tracks disecting the damn thing. New sub, great job
The first Metallica song that i ever listened was Orion. And i loved it from the very beginning. I took it upon myself to introduce this song to my friends. Welcome them to your channel. Keep the good work and take care \\m//
3:45 this reminds me that the song Harvester of Sorrow had the chorus changed before being released. In the rough mix version, James sings "Havester of Sorrows" with an "S" instead of "Sorrowoah" like he does in the release version.
The parts of orion you mention that the tapes are "missing" is my favorite part something "floaty" about it lol And made myself like the ring so much i'm gonna buy it anyway, thanks for the discount 🤘
I've always heard this part on the album and I always found it odd that the Live Shit footage was one of the only places to catch a real representation of it. Very cool video as usual Andriy
Like someone else mentioned in these comments, I usually watch first 2-3 minutes and then stop understanding what's going on, losing the agenda of the video. But that's not because you share information in inconvenient way (Your English is fluent, i think, and you discuss all the stuff in really simple and understandable way); it's about me and literally losing my mind because of some really crazy, outstanding things that you show to us. Now that's what i call "frayed ends of sanity". I always need to watch video 2 or even 3 times to realize and think over all the mind-blowing ideas and facts that you continue to share with us. Короче, я восхищаюсь твоей работой и желаю тебе всего наилучшего, как бы ни повернулась жизнь! \oo/
Why no mention of Orion starting out as a interlude part for welcome home Sanitarium. As stated by Kirk in his recent video on Gibson TV icons? That may explain why Orion's composition is the way it is. And why parts were added, subtracted and may be misplaced during recording.
I only started to hear this riff after Jason played Orion with a pattern similar to this one, then picked up the similarity while listening to Orion's studio version. It's insane even after 10+ years of listening to this band I discover shit that has only been a mistery because of really stiff mixing and lack of tabs.
I mentioned that in a comment before! I thought it was a piano at first. You can also hear the variation played by Cliff when Orion was still attached to Sanitarium.
Such a beautiful part..! To think that these young guys composed such a great tune and album at that age.. Remember hearing this song on Danny Ways skateboard part from the DC movie. It goes perfectly to that, you should check it out 🙂
Honestly even just the 3 part harmony is mysterious. Its so crunchy that its hard to tell exactly what the lowest part plays, James and Kirk do it a lil different each time live
I picked upon that way back when I first got into Metallica between Justice and Black. I always thought it sounded kind of like a toy piano, and I'd point it out to my friends and none of them could hear it and I eventually thought I was just hearing shit. But there it is. Thank you, frrrrrriend!
They played that riff in the 1993 Orion/to live is to die/call of ktulu. I believe the one in sweden where it starts with Jason finishing his solo by smashing his head on his bass
I'm curious why the snare on MOP in the multitrack sounds so different, it might've been changed when the songs were eq'd a lot in mastering, but in the rough mix, it's the way it is (or at least more like) on the mastered version, anyone else know what I mean?
Как же я люблю твоё славняское произношение. Очень комфортно тебя слушать. Также очень интересно смотреть контент о своей любимой группе. Спасибо тебе!
I think the keyboard is in there, when you played It I just kind of thought, I have always heard it, maybe not knowing what it was but I heard it, as you say I think it bleeds in the bass guitar sound too.
That harmonic part sounds like it used almost identical harmonics to those used in the intro to South Of Heaven by Slayer. Sounds like B, E harmonics over the 12th fret followed by a 5th fret E harmonic with a volume knob dip and swell.
Right in the middle of the video I stopped and thought, what if Cliff played a Dean Metal man Or any bass in a pointy shape that doesn’t belong for a bass. What’s your opinion?
I think Orion wasn't ment to be instrumental. On Metallica's demo tapes from 85 Sanitarium and Orion were one song called Only thing. It was whole Sanitarium an interlude from Orion and it was played from interlude to the end. Ps: love your chanel man, greetings from Croatia.
That's because by the time "only Thing" demo was recorded the band had forced Cliff to make Orion a whole band song and struggled to find a place for it. Cliff's Orion is actually just the middle interlude into a roaring bass solo to the end
Also they’re only good song. James shitty voice isn’t on it. Dave Mustaine should’ve kicked James out and been the lead singer for Metallica since not only is he a better guitarist but also singer.

I should ask him that ne day
