Cliff Burton - Bass Solo - Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)

Another Cliff Burton bass solo from Cliff 'em All.
Check out www.sharkchild.com, I'm sure there's many Lovecraft fans among you Burton fans and this guy's stories are in a similar vein.

[@soadx08]

Happy 52nd birthday, Cliff. We love and miss you.

Lead guitarists: “No bass solo will ever top a guitar solo” Cliff Burton: “Hold my beer. ...no, I mean literally, hold it while I enlighten these gentlemen”.

[@3amir126]

Underrated comment..... 😂

[@jatheshadow]

hell yeah fuckin right !😉👊 Cliff rocks ! this solo is simply epic ! 🔥🔥

[@MajinDeathSatan]

funny thing when Cliff made this solo he somewhat told Kirk to hold his beer xD

[@jamesb1988]

He was so young and yet so incredibly talented. It's mind boggling to think how good he would be today. We love you Cliff, and miss you so much!

[@misfit71]

The first time I heard this on Kill Em All I was like, why is the guy saying " bass solo, take one"? Blew my mind when I actually found out it was a bass and not a six string. I was 12, cut me some slack.

[@tiggadawigga987]

For those who don't know, he's just putting some distortion on it. That's why it sounds like a guitar.

[@811brian]

and playing at higher notes than a bassist normally plays.

[@nonnodacciaio704]

Tigga Da Wigga wow thank you captain obvious

[@jimihell9527]

you obviously know nothing about guitar if you just found that out

[@neemolog]

For those who likes that fucking cat’s mewing them better not play bass. At all.

[@mindfreak078589]

I think he has some kind of "blues" pickup on that Aria Pro II. He had them on his Rickenbacker 4001, heavenly influenced him.

[@ferchobilbao97]

I am 13 and I just heard about Cliff in the last month, but I see how he plays and I say: wow, what an incredible bassist. and then I searched bass solos videos from him and I found one that almost made me cry, cause that solo was played september 26 1986, just a few hours before he died... and I also searched for interviews, he died becaus he got tha bed that was assigned to Kirk, and Kirk still thinks that it could have been him, and he wished that it was him and not Cliff :(

This makes you look stupid. 1. Cliff is a bassist 2. He's Not ht e best guitarist cus he plays bass but the best guitarist is Dime Bag Darrel or Van Halen 3. R.I.P Cliff

[@Cian._.]

AC/Maiden He said bass guitar....

[@acmaiden9600]

Cian Reeves O'shea after i corrected him before it was guitar

[@Brokenatoms]

You say Dimebag. I say Les Claypool is way more technical and skilled than dimebag. Cliff was way ahead of his time, dimebag doesn't even make my top 3.

[@Brokenatoms]

And Van Halen??? Really ? Smfh

[@MetalMonaco]

cliff will live forever because his song can't be deleted from the history of rock and metal

[@jay_hawk9762]

The way he uses 4 fingers to pluck is amazing. Rip cliff. My all time favorite bassist and all time favorite musician.

[@HabAnagarek]

Jesus Christ he had huge hands. No wonder he could play that bass like a guitar and slung so low. I love seeing jam the shit out of that with fingers. A great finger plucker.

it's cliff Burton XD no he probably has different eq settings, he's also playing the higher notes, also he's playing distorted, which isn't too popular among bassists

People underestimate metal bass so much and Cliff was like Jesus to metal bass. He's so far ahead of his time and could kick any current bassists ass. People talk about how good slap is and until people can pluck as fast as Cliff with two fingers keep your mouth shut.

[@Dr_Darklord]

even if there is a better bassist than cliff, he has the musical genius that alot of musicians lack. he wrote alot of great stuff. and he did write a full length bass solo, another thing that alot of other great bassists refrained from doing.
