The slow dual solo in the middle is my favorite part of all of Metallica’s work

[@ThaiThom]

@@ZacCostilla That's Cliff Burton playing that on bass guitar.

[@ZacCostilla]

@@ThaiThom yeah, I know that. And he’s playing an awesome countermelody to the guitar parts!. I was referring to Hetfield taking the melody on the first slow solo and Hammet on the harmony part. Almost reminds me of the approach the Eagles took to the Hotel California solo, but they fir it to this song.

[@Mikearice1]

For a lot of us, the instruments, the melody, harmony, and dynamics, etc, is where most the emotion is in music. The lyrics are what usually don't matter to us. You can usually replace the words and not make any difference in the listening experience. I think it's often that way for metal, prog, jazz, and classical. Other genres like folk and rap prioritize different elements, and vocals are more important in them. Another factor is whether a genre's audience includes a lot of musicians, themselves. I think metal has a lot of fans who play instruments themselves and mostly want to hear instruments.

[@beatmet2355]

I’m the same way. People say this song or that song because of the lyrics, but they’re secondary for me. I guess that’s why I’m into instrumental music like classical and jazz. I enjoy good MUSIC, the lyrics aren’t what I focus on.

[@dionshare7103]

I'm sure that's where the connections between rock and jazz come into play. Instruments.

[@RoadHammer1972]

I totally disagree, the lyrics and the music was all one package to me and I couldn’t wait to get the line notes to read the lyrics. Having said that instrumentals like this one were awesome too but lyrics do matter otherwise every song would just be an instrumental

Not saying James isn’t amazing or a guitar god, Kirk is just under appreciated for what he’s done for Metallica. I mean listen to any master of puppets recent live performance, Kirk is the one keeping the rhythm going when James is more focused on singing and interacting with the crowd. Not to mention Kirk wrote the riff for the verse of master of puppets.

As a follow-up to Orion, I recommend you give "To Live Is To Die" from Metallica. It was one of the last pieces of music that the late Cliff Burton worked on before his untimely passing. While the majority of Metallica's discography is something one experiences with "To Live Is To Die" one goes beyond experiencing it to a point where they feel it. From a music perspective "To Live Is To Die" is perhaps one of the best things Metallica has ever recorded.

[@foogly84]

@My Dixie Wrecked I agree. Kirk fits perfectly with thrash and Metallica. Kirk has always been one of my favorites, and when I started listening to music I couldn't imagine a more talented guitarist. As I listened to more music and learned more about music I found other guitarists that I thought were slightly better in different ways. Tone, difficult chord shapes, innovation in song building, rhythm (there is a great part in Some Kind of Monster where James is trying to get Kirk to play a specific rhythm section and he can't get it, so they had to simplify it). Make no mistake that even after that Kirk is still one of my favorites, and always will be.

[@foogly84]

@My Dixie Wrecked ya there are a lot of lesser known guitarists that brought something innovative to the world, and they don't always get their due. I always thought Alex Lifeson and Peter Green should be better known. In the guitarists world they are, but not big names to broader audiences.

There are several guitar leads that are actually played on bass. An emotional masterpiece and possibly my favorite Metallica song. I always wished there were another 5 minutes.

The solos are by Kirk (lead guitar) and Cliff (bass guitar). The bridge and the third "gtr solo" is Cliff's bass guitar. Cliff Burton (2/10/62 - 9/27/86 R.I.P.) was a genius and Metallica would not have made it without him. Burton-era Metallica (read: 1980s Metallica) is the real Metallica. "Orion" is a great choice.

[@thescourgeofathousan]

Most songs are the kind that it’s like surfing, your putting all your energy into staying right with the song like on the edge of the wave. And some instrumentals are like that too when they have a single instrument voice that cuts through the other instruments to delivery a melody and there are times in Orion where the guitar or bass does that too but for the most part it is intended to be an experience of immersion. You just lay back in the ocean of music and let it flow around you. And the little interludes where one instrument cuts through are just currents in the water and you let them take you where they will. With pretty much any Metallica song, because the song is rooted in the repeating riff I find I can mentally decide to follow the lyric and stay on the edge of the song or let myself slip back into the music and let it flow over me. Such a talented band.

What? 😆 His solos are his feelings. And he's a great story teller within the song.

[@mpmlopes]

@@tallycahamuhlhetru26 no one is talking about his feelings, we're talking about playing with feeling.

I used to listen to this song with headphones on when i would get back from running the streets with my gang to unwind and relax to sleep. Love watching Lex close her eyes and drift off to another place.

[@AliceInPantera]

Watching Lex hear/feel that sweet melody sent chills down my spine the entire time. These reaction videos are brilliant; they make me feel like I’m listening for the first time too; only difference is I know when the good parts are coming up!

[@robbob5302]

I loved that glance Brad gave Lex like 15 seconds before the end. Was like "Do you understand any of this?" Then he sees her with her eyes closed, jamming out, and is like "Yeah, I guess she does. What else is new?"

[@jhamilton1007]

Finally! Took you guys long enough. 😆 I only wish I had caught this reaction live. Now you have to react to Metallica's other instrumentals.

[@mike-pm6xn]

Cool to see Lex truly zone out when she was feeling it. In the world of Orion, no doubt. I could listen to this for a long time too. Takes me to another place for sure.

Love your guys view and Lex's love of Metallica. To live is to die is a major underrated instrumental. It was Cliff Burtons final opus and was finished and dedicated to him in his honor. The band almost never plays it live.

[@tk72231968]

My all time favorite of Metallica's...I can really relax to this one. It was also fun to do on Playstation 2.

[@bonesnekropolis6231]

Lex started closing her eyes at the perfect time for enjoying this part of the song, thanks for your videos !

[@YureK___]

man i fucking love that song so much, it blows my mind how beautiful structured it is. it literally feels like a trip with a rocketship to the Orions belt, first the fade in and beginning riff as you check all the instruments from the ship an prepare for take off. then the heavy ass chorus riff plus first solo, as you start and rip trough earth's atmosphere everything is loud and vibrates and then all of a sudden a moment of silence... followed by Cliff burtons baseline and the synchronised harmony solos as you now entered space with no gravity.. then the 3 solo and burtons bass solo kicks in, all of a sudden the instruments are going crazy, astroids and space trash everywhere! then back to the heavy riff again with a fade out letting us in complete darkness not knowing if they ever gonna make it to Orion safely... just wow.. and all that story without telling me a single word this is the real power of music.

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Wow good one, saw them live on this tour in Detroit. They were so incredible..Sadly Cliff died 5-6 months later. Such a talented guy, this was his baby..

[@Grayfox82]

“It’s over?!” “Almost like freestyle.” She gets the song and my love. The bassist is a an actual legend, Cliff Burton. This song is about your own journey. Cosmic even. Have a drink and just chill. Great reaction.

[@davidabt2789]

Lex did it right on spot just close the eyes and go with the flow great song live also

[@SFR-d1l]

Did you guys know that the bassist Cliff was shredding his bass on that solo 2 minutes into the song.

[@mytholictim]

"You fall asleep?" Haha great!

[@briandehart6014]

It’s as if your on the trip to Orion, music fast and all over, you arrive, everything slows down with Cliff’s awesome intro. Now relax! Then Kirks solo, 😋

[@jesikats712]

such an epic instrumental

[@The_Kiosk]

Cliff Burton's time on Earth was like a butterfly kiss in a dream. Fleeting, perfect, and we can always close our eyes and remember.

[@vierdo]

LOL love this reaction. Lex is totally in trance listening and waking up and asking " Is it over?" lol And Brad is waiting for the lyrics. WElcome to Orion by Metallica Brad and Lex 😂😂😂

[@MrSaschademitri]

This is one of these Songs, i wish i can travel back in Time and hear it for the first Time again! Love it!!
