That is what disgusts me about AJFA, in a tribute song to Cliff they cut out the bass, I understand people make mistakes but it should either be audible or nonexistent, at least on this song, I have nothing against the whole AJFA album by just this song. The nonexistent would also be powerful because as a tribute to cliff it could be saying," no one can replace him" instead this
@@polarmizz the way i like to think of it… the other 3 couldn’t handle their music being without cliff’s bass. it was him or nothing, and it’s not like they kept doing it. black album, load, reload all had bass
"Cliff Burton received co-writing credit on "To Live Is to Die" as the bass line was a medley of unused recordings Burton had 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." (Wikipedia) * wipes tears *
McSkillet The Murderer he played what jason played too, but they lowered the bass too much you cant hear it but thats what jason played on the album,wether it was written by cliff or not
Guess they didn't want to make Newsted shine over Cliff... besides he was heavily bullied by his bandmates, so... yeah. No bass on a song dedicated to Cliff, which is ridiculous.
@@ABlazeintheNorthernSky all I'm saying is that I remember clearly when that album came out it was a huge success and I thought it was amazing and I don't even remember anyone at the time complaining about the bass. It wasn't until the VH1 Behind the Music that it was talked about and suddenly then everyone noticed that. I'm sure Jason knew instantly but the public had no idea.
@@ABlazeintheNorthernSky maybe some did. But thrashers back then that just wanted to bang their heads to some heavy thrash didn't care. Demo tape trading. Those things were 10th generation some of them with horrible production and if you got one from your favorite bands it was the best thing ever.
4:30 - this instrumental goes from good to one of the greatest. The second half of this is some of the most powerful and emotional music you'll ever here. I hope they put me in the ground to this.....
Happy 60th Cliff. We could only imagine how you would’ve been like… the way the guitar is cut abruptly at the end like your life was makes me cry. We love you!
been listening to this album nigh on my whole life (born in 84, stuck to my metal loving brother like glue) .... and with it being slightly weird to hear the bass track.... it makes all the difference, seems more complete and whole :) Great job man!
00:00 to 04:25 cliff burton comes to the world and he plays his bass guitar with waving red hair 4:25 to 4:56 their caravan make a accident,him taken card is ace of spades so point of the life,and 04: 56 It is in that damn note 4:56 to 7:28 everyone looks for him, one that will be remembered again what they left 7:28 to 09:51 ...
Some Part of the World These Are the Pale Deaths Which Men Miscall Their Lives All this I Cannot Bear to Witness Any Longer Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation Take Me Home?
wooow this is really good! There are many other "enhanced bass track" for To Live Is To Die, but this one is really good. The tone, the mix the everything! congrats man !
ifd now jason live with metallica in 1993 in basel..., jason gives all he had, he was an real metallica-member and nothing else he wanna be, iam absolutely be shure of that..., i love metallica for real, but i and iam shure, burton also, did hates metallica for what they did to jason..., this ever would be an shadow on metallicas "soul"...iam realy be shure, burton will love jasons for what he did and jason did it verry well, even more then all the other drunken metallicas in this time!!!! Jason realy rules!!!
To be fair Flemming just recorded the bass. Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero did the mix, and apparently burying the bass was a decision made entirely by Lars.
Stephen Charlton Yeah. Steve wanted the bass to be audible. Even James did a little bit. I just hope we get a remaster to this album, and a PROPER one.
Album 1 to 5 only i have...after cliff and jason go...I say goodby to metalica now im 45 year. Until Now listen this 3.12.2019 R.I.P cliff best Bass in the World. From Malaysia
OMG!!!! I cant stop listening to it!!! Awsomegreatnessrespectly well done!!!30 th anniversary must sound like this to redeem crap albums none needed ( load reload wtf ever that was.became musician on that and justice era..7th son maiden..anthrax..DRI..slayer..this track w bass enhanced brings me back to the pure joy of music!! Ty..well done!!!
It's ironic to me that the two best Metallica albums without Cliff Burton, ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL and DEATH MAGNETIC, both have mixing issues. Everyone knows the "There's no bass on ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! " thing and DEATH MAGNETIC has a distorted quality in parts, mainly during some of the snare drum hits. The funniest thing, at least to me, is that not only do I but pretty much everyone else let's it slide because those albums kick ass.
I would say you could barely hear bass in Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. They're not as bad in terms of mixing issues as AJFA is though. I think Kill Em All has almost perfect mixing when it comes to mixing in bass. And Cliffs tone was pretty overdriven on RTL and MOP is that what you mean by distorted?
Now that I think of it I never know the bass line for mop songs... I like some of the cool arts in ride the lightning, like cliffs part in the call of ktulu. It's a good use of that style to me
They wanted Death Magnetic to be as loud as possible, so they used compressors excessively, until there were no dynamics left. Still, they raised the volume more than the audio could handle and thus the sound is digitally distorted at some parts. It's such a rookie mistake I'm really surprised it was made by expert sound engineers. Oh, and Death Magnetic is mostly forgettable. Especially the instrumental...
Your tone is better than Newstead. As much as I like his tight playing, I find the added original bass tracks on the songs weird, like they dont belong. Your track makes it sound fuller. Great Job!
Glen Q Where did you hear about that? I'm curious because I can never find any articles that talk about about exactly what Cliff contributed to this song.
A New Horizon There's a video called Cliff's Last Song. Apparently he played it himself. The part that sounds like a guitar (I'm not sure if its a guitar or a bass with a pitchshifter) in that video is used in this song. Maybe that's why he gets writing creds?
Lars really fucked up here… no respect for Cliff’s memory. If he really wanted to show respect he would’ve kept the bass on the album. Jason didn’t deserve the fallout.

@Canuck Crusader ..... Spell?
@@pingpongpung Thank you.
Finally, a song about a bass player finally having some damn bass in it. The fact that the original has basically no bass is just... Disrespectful.
In my opinion this proves that it was a mistake not made on purpose .
At the same time(even though the whole album is like this) symbolizes that Cliff is gone
well blame lars ulrich for it

I didn't know about the German poet part. Thanks! And if you want to hear the original played by Cliff look up Cliffs last song if you havent already.
+mkfanforever58
That's someone doing a cover version, it's not Cliff.
That’s not true,Cliff got credit because he wrote the” cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home” part. The first part already existed
Which you just said lol
Oh what could have been, can you imagine?
Best part 0:00 - 9:49
Lol
The worst part is 9:50
Lol I was gonna make the best part joke but I was 5 years too late

@@Fauss not true
+1 it is great
I believe for the 30th anniversary of AJFA in 2018. we should at last get the album remastered and remixed to hear the bass.
+Deadpool Totally agree with you, man.
TOTALLY AGREE!
+Deadpool And if they do a record store day, they should invite Jason on over to jam with them.
+HvyMetal4Ever ALL HOPE TO THAT BROTHER!!!
Lars recently said that maybe its better that the remastered version still have no bass
Sounds soooooo much better when you can hear Jason play.
J.D. Ødegård its not jason playing, its the uploader of yhe video playing.
McSkillet The Murderer he played what jason played too, but they lowered the bass too much you cant hear it but thats what jason played on the album,wether it was written by cliff or not
7:19 one the best moments Metallica has ever created. Gives me goosebumps every time
5:26 this part sounds so freaking good with additional bass..
That’s the part I came for
Only reason I listen to the RUclips version vs studio recording. SMH Lars is such a dick man
@kirkhammett3718 same same same! It's beautiful. Saddening they could omit such a lovely musician! omg😢
On this day, Sept. 27th, 1986, Cliff Died.
Billy The Kid Mines on February 10th lmfao #cliffburtonday
Holy shit a day before my birthday
My birthday is the 27th September

Billy The Kid mine is the 28th and I’m a bass player
Guess they didn't want to make Newsted shine over Cliff... besides he was heavily bullied by his bandmates, so... yeah. No bass on a song dedicated to Cliff, which is ridiculous.
Eugenio Fontana - Cogorno Lars was just insecure and an ass with his drum sound it's why the bass was turned off
I agree, this being a tribute to Cliff it should have had bass boost as fuck so his last song could be heard thru Jason
Lars: "BASS GUITAR?! WHAT IS THIS?! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF JOKE?!"
WHAT THE FOCK IS THIS
HE FOCKIN LEFT THE BAND
The two dislikes are James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich lol.
LOL!
Comedian! :)
Now there are 4 dislikes. Man, James and Lars even bothered making second accounts!
CarlsterMC x I got a good laugh from your comment

Ok, Nice :) TY
James' solo is very emotional! Wow! I was almost crying from 4:30 to 6:44
4:58 Chills every single time.
Let us know about the date&place
You just gotta appreciate the musicianship here. No matter what type of genre you like.
Agreed
Except for the drumming lol jk.
If anything they should at least fix the bass on this song, it essentially being a tribute to Burton and all.
Truth
Lars says “hahahaha no”
It sucks how you couldn't hear the bass on the album because songs like this it sounds so much better when you can hear the bass
Goreball studios really? And who really noticed that when the album first came out?

Same, and learning to play them is a lot harder then I originally thought it would be lmao
Is this real song
@@damienmcelwee1477 yes, but the bass track's enhanced in this version.
The volume of the bass is just right. Loud enough to hear it clearly but not so loud it drowns out other instruments
The bass actually made the song even better at least in my opinion.
Happy 60th Cliff. We could only imagine how you would’ve been like… the way the guitar is cut abruptly at the end like your life was makes me cry. We love you!
So much better. You must use headphones, such a travesty that the mix is so low on bass
I’ve played the 5:00 ongoing clean part in God’s service in church 😂
This is truly a godly piece of music 😊
Nice job, but my favorite is Seattle '89 even though it's not complete.
100% agree
that's because that was a Medley
Hetfield refers to that as "We took all our favorite parts and threw them into one big pile of shit"
Franco Oriti he is talking about the bass and guitar interlude right before Master Of Puppets
Hell yes
4:30........
You enjoy that section?
Absolutely! Best part of the song!
Trent Carr
It is a simple but very awesome riff they came up with.
A lot of emotion in it, too.
Trent Carr Agreed. I regularly skip the first 4 and a half minutes to listen to this part. So good! \m/
