Metallica - Orion (Cliff Burton Bass Really Loud)

This is my version of "Orion". I mixed it using Reaper and mastered it using T-Racks CS. This is part of my "Burton of Puppets" project, I'm actually uploading all Burton songs I can find in mogg format, that way I can mix the bass as loud as I want to.
This sounds as if Metallica were a power trio, so whenever Kirk plays a guitar solo, Cliff is the only one providing foundation, rhythm and harmony to the song. This actually turns James into a lead singer only type of role, and I love James but I think that with this type of line-up, Cliff's work can really shine and stand out in the mix.
If you add a rhythm guitar, things get cluttered and the bass disappears. And my goal here is for us to hear every single note Cliff is playing. So the volumes are all switched. When we hear guitars on a record, they're always much louder than the bass, and this is our revenge! Here the bass is the star!! And Cliff deserves that, his arrangements are simply beautiful and shouldn't be buried in the mixdown, so please listen to it as many times as you want and promote it away.
How as able to do that? I had access to the original isolated tracks, so that way I felt free to mix them and highlight the sections I thought were richer to the whole project. That meant cutting off some of James' guitar parts during Kirk's solos, and leaving Lars out of the spotlight cause he mixes his drums super duper loud since he's the leader of the band. That way, Cliff's bass line came to life and the song sounds amazing!

If you can imagine it, then play it. That's what being a musician is. Then it's yours and you can share it. What you're saying is be inspired by him. I can agree with that. I won't give credit for things that never happened though. Lars and James are still alive and look how that turned out..... (they did have a few decent ones but went downhill)

Both those concerts were under $20. What a time to be alive.

That part and the bass solo later on are overdubs. If you listen closely Cliff is still playing the root notes underneath from his main take, otherwise the low-end of the track would suddenly thin out when he goes high up on the neck. No doubt he could’ve pulled the whole song off in one take, but it’s a good production choice to keep the low-end consistent

[@alextamulis]

But if they want it louder, then they're probably looking for an isolated track. You can't have an instrument way too loud, otherwise it would never gel with the rest of the band. My mix brings the bass to the lead spectrum, which is usually filled with guitars, or drums or vocals, depending on which band we're talking about. Very rarely with basses, though. The only bands I can think of that feature basses in metal/rock that are also leading are Iron Maiden, Rush, Royal Blood (for obvious reasons), RHCP, Primus, The Who, etc... maybe I'm forgetting some bands, but it's very hard to find bass-laden ones.

Jason Stoutenger No son, just a fact that bass is not a lead instrument. I'm 48, had all metallica demos and all material. even still have the hit parader issue with cliff interview. I was skating in the park when my buddy rode up on his dirt bike a.d told me that cliff was dead.. I will never forget.. fuckin tragedy.

I don't see why bass is never really done as much justice as this. In most of Metallica's songs, it's barely conceivable or noticeable.

i feel like this wouldnt be how cliff woukd have liked it. He seemed like someone who just wanted the song to sound epic, not just with heaps of bass. But i certainly love this!

[@alextamulis]

mmmm, it's hard to say what Cliff would've liked or not, but I think he would definitely have said something like "holy fuck, this is awesome! Can I have it on tape or something? I want to give it a spin when I'm back on the bus."

[@pumahit3714]

haha from all accounts, that is spot on

[@samnwo1525]

Love it…One of the best pieces of music ever written. Cliffs going off in this just listen to that BASS

[@kimasailo6629]

Robert Trujillo literally left the chat, crab walking

[@timurshaipov682]

Kima Sailo c’mon, he plays it really god. Maybe he’s not the most gifted musician, but has skills to play things like this properly

[@janipt]

Give some respect to the monkey man, he can do his job properly and gave metallica a much needed energy boost

[@raulchavarria7446]

Newsted could have never played this.

[@blacksygma9470]

R.I.P. Cliff Burtón 😰😰

[@Laveritenestpasdecemonde]

There will never be another bassist like him

[@jason.h.zager88]

Less Claypool

[@ValterBiH]

This is so good and also make me so sad every time I listen this. Cliff was so amazing :( RIP my dear brother

[@xalexander1996]

OMG it's so beautiful!

[@FourHorsemen-k2y]

Absolutely brilliant Bassist with a unique style... R.I.P. Brother

[@gos2slo]

Daamn this is great, you can really hear the strings slap on Cliff's bass intro. It adds another layer of percussion like you're right in his monitor.

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

Cliff was classically trained and it shows throughout this piece.

[@guitarguy2053]

This is what bass playing should be like, Cliff was an innovator to playing the bass for sure. They shouldn't be just providing the rhythm to the song, they should be thinking it as a 4 stringed guitar

[@shanewaters7634]

GuitarGuy no.

[@MrJerm200]

The point of bass is to keep the main rhythm going. You can mess around to show of solo skill at times but Bass guitar is really a rhythm instrument

[@aavila1206]

Wrong

[@MrJerm200]

Mr.Pastorius and you’re gonna say that to a musician for real?

[@Kiirxas]

Jeremy Ladue well, in thrash the guitars pretty much cover the rhythm aspect, so you can use a more melodic bass, also, in most bands is underapreciater (Coming from a guitarist)

[@igorprijatelj8124]

Rest in peace cliff we love you 🤘🤘

[@mikewayne9110]

I've been playing this for 30 years and just learned more from this video about Cliff's nuance. Thank you!

Wtf took you so long!

I love this - and we lost a groundbreaking player, no one sounds quite like him, he had a new vision. More Cliff stuff would be grand so!

[@mikeday9548]

It takes me right back to the fourth of July watching the fireworks at Liberty Park. My great grandma was there 😢

Thanks to Mister Cliff Burton for the creation of this MASTERPIECE !

I was was raised by a professional bass player this amount of audio is completely awesome thank you

[@logan77777771]

Once when I was 16, I fell asleep with this on while in the car. While passed out I dreamt of a tank rolling along and firing its gun to this song. I remember it having quite the impression on me. Fast forward ten years. Right now I'm in training to become an armoured officer in the CAF. Thanks cliff for helping me find my dream career!

[@DonBozzi]

This is a real bass player. Love this song, love his style. All hail to king Cliff, may you rest in peace. \m/

[@diegofiorillo6412]

How the hell they were able to write justice after losing this man I will never know.

[@jeremymoss346]

Man I think cliff had a lot of and justice for all written before he died and Jason came in and they finished it.Is it a coincidence that and justice for all was the best album right after master of puppets the black album was the second with Jason and that's when they started going down hill but that's just my opinion.

[@b1ac4yt69]

@@jeremymoss346 i agree, I know there's a version of To Live Is To Die that has cliffs demo on it
