  • Another high-energy song. Instead of exactly doubling the guitar riffs Cliff decides to create yet another solid foundation for this pounding song. Very fun song to play.
    I double the clean intro part before all the band comes in just for fun, Cliff doesn't originally follow that part.
    Tuning: Standard
    Bass: Alembic Elan

    Are we all absolutely sure Cliff didn’t fake his death, grow a beard, and change his name?
    Best bass player cover artist on RUclips. Thank you for all you do, man.

    I've always loved how Cliff would often find a middle ground between following the drums and following guitar. He found this sweet spot in every song and always did what was good for the song. you nailed his groove man! Killer job as always. Its Inspiring watching you play.

    Lars once said to Robert Trujillo during the elections,''Can you go that fast with your fingers?(for battery)I just remember while seeing Gonzalez’s finger style...Time passes.

      Not to sound like a dick and I am just an amateur finger bass player, but Battery is not at all fast on the right hand. This cover is great. I am sure even Gonzalez will agree. Dont get me wrong...but this is just not that fast. Listen to Steve Harris on Genghis Khan at the 1 minute mark. Now THAT is superfast for the fingers.
      The fact that Lars thinks this is difficult with fingers tells you all you need to know about Lars and how little he knows about the instrument. no wonder he cut it all out in No Justice for All.

      I had Back In Black for my alarm a while imagining the first chord would be a nice way to jump out of bed.
      But they actually start with a few muted plucks, and that actually was an annoying first sound instead of the stereo blasting the first good string spank.

    This also is a great example of what a badass Cliff was. So many other bass jokers of the time just play the roots along with the rhythm guitar.

    • @carpediemarts705
      @carpediemarts705 4 года назад

      A LOT of bass players get TOLD to just play roots. Ads looking for bass to join the band often say "don't play too many notes". Sound board operators commonly say the bass should be felt and not heard.
      But we like the ones who stood out the most, don't we?
