I don't really like this bass solo, but more Metal bands should do bass solos.

Cool song, but definetly Metallica's weakest instrumental. "Orion" is a much better song, "To Live is to Die" had much more meaning, and the S&M version of "Call of Ktulu" sounded amazing. Whether Cliff was the best bassist or not is a moot point. In truth, he probably wasn't, but he was responsible for much of Metallica's early work, and his death had a huge impact on the band.

This song was Metallic'a first instrumental, which began the tradition of several good instrumentals in thier early days. These instramentals also set them apart from most other metal bands. "Fade to Black" being Metallica's first slower, more thoughful song was also a huge part of setting metallica above any other metal band

Way back in the day- mid 80s- I bought Ride the Lightning on vinyl. I didn't have a record player at the time, so I took it round to a friend's house to listen to it and tape it. I remember us both looking at each other- we were 15, I think- and saying "What the fuck is THIS?"

I remember listening to that immense, rumbling sound that Cliff got from his bass. I even bought an Aria bass (still have it) to try to replicate it. "Pulling Teeth" still remains one of my favourite bass solos. I recall hearing that he was gone on the BBC Radio show, The Friday Rock Show. Then buying the issue of Kerrang that confirmed it. He was a great bass player- I loved the way that you felt the sound deep down in your gut, under the crunching guitar. "Leper Messiah" is a great example of this.

We went to see them on the Justice tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse- Cliff was gone by that point. I'm really sad that I didn't get my act together to see them on the "Puppets" tour a couple of years earlier.

I still listen to Metallica; I still miss Cliff's sound.

All the best,

Some have mentioned great bass players in what has become "Debate of Best Bassists" as opposed to the meaning of an instrumental. Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke (I should need to stop with these two). Paul Chambers was also mentioned, and I'm sure others such as Charles Mingus and Tom Kennedy were mentioned in the endless comments I didn't read.

But in the context of metal bassists, you must give love to Roger Patterson (Atheist), Tony Choy (Atheist, Cynic), Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Testament), and Fabio Fecchio (Ephel Duath).

Everytime i read one of these "Who's the best" debates it makes me sick...lets get real people its all about personal preference. Personally Cliff Burton is my idol, my god, the reason i started playing the bass. His presence on the stage is phenominal and his playing and writing capabilities were way past his time. for the era Cliff reigned the bass he was the best...but you cannot take modern bassists (at least metal bassists) in my opinion and say they are better because guaranteed every single one of them has cliff as an influence.

dont get me wrong there are a TON of bassists out there that could probably walk circles around cliff ( geddy lee, geezer, harris, digorgio etc etc) but this whole debate of who's best is bull, everything depends on what you like. I am a metal fan and always will be so my "best bassist" is a metal bassist, but if you like jazz then there's no way of comparing the two because they are completely different genres with two completely different ways of playing.

Cliff Burton was a legend. He is still the greatest bassist in the world. Screw the rest of them. The two greatest Metallica members in the world were Dave Mustaine, and the legendary Cliff Burton.

Rest In Piece, Cliff Burton.

This is just one of many examples how Cliff was the reigning champion of bass players. I don't even think I could reproduce the magnificent tunes of Pulling Teeth with an electric guitar. At least not in the way Cliff did...

Somewhere in the Heaven of Metal, Cliff is presently playing with Dimebag Darrell, Chuck Schuldiner and Randy Castillo in the greatest metal band ever.

since this is a solo i guess its open to discussion. but why are we comparing bassists. this is a song written by someone who loved music. just listen to it and shut up. unless you youre worried about messing up your hair or hitting your head once the drums kick in. cliff is the reason i started listening to other bands like thin lizzy. im just a fan of music with passion not torturing the laws of physics. so if they dont bang their heads, kill em all.

Jason's WAY to much of a goody-two-shoes. The reason he probably left is because he didn't fit in.


I also can't wait for there next album "Death Magnetic"

"There are tons of bassists better than Cliff!"

Once you get to the absurd level of talent of Cliff and the like (you know em if you're looking at this) it doesn't really matter. These guys have vastly different styles and different levels of influence.

If on a post about this song you write anything mocking the Cliff-man you got some problems. Tell it to your music teacher.

PS
I have much respect for Megadeth's bassist, but he ain't better than cliff

None of this shit about Jason Writing "To Live is To Die" isn't true. It says right in the back of the "...And Justice For All" Album

All lyrics by Hetfield, except for "To Live is To Die" by Burton.


Sure, he was dead, but Dave Mustaine wrote part of the song "Ride the Lightning".

About the people discussing wether cliff burton is the best or not.
He was already at this level of bass playing when he was 18 years old, if he had lived he would be the Joey Satriani of bassists and Metallica would still be AWESOME

Flea and Cliff are the two best bassists of all time in my opinion.
