    What makes me most sad about this song is that when the emotional part comes up I think of how much Cliff meant to Metallica and how close of a friend he was with Lars, Kirk, and James and how young he was. I cry because I think about what he could've become. RIP Clifford Lee Burton forever, in Metallica fans hearts. Makes me sad just knowing he's gone and never coming back..

      Is it true that Cliff wrote this specific part, and only him? I used to think Hetfield played this part on classical guitar as a tribute to him.

      You come here to this video making an insignificant critique about an amazing song covered by a phenomenal artist . To say that the bass notes were too intense at certain points in this song just shows your naivete.
      The song is written a lot like the plot design is written for a movie . It builds up, and when its adequetly built up, it unleashes hell.
      Exactly like it is supposed to .
      This is how its done.
      Now GTFO!

    VK, when I hear your ability to capture & release the dynamics expressed in the originals, the instrument disappears and pure communication flows through your talent. I was so skeptical when I saw a piano cover of a song that dwells in my mind every day. From the beginning, I was speechless. By the time we hit the interlude, I was reduced to uncontrollable tears, just like the first time I listened to this song on my walkman in 1988. God has blessed you wit a gift. Thanks so much for sharing...

    Fantastic cover! Your dexterity, feel, and keen interpretative instincts never fail to entertain. One day, I'm just gonna get smashed off really good beer and watch your vids for a few hours. Thanks for posting!
