I'm 42 years old ... When I was 14 years old I heard Anestesia and literally couldn't believe that one person could make so much noise with one instrument and an amplifier/pedals. A friend of mine showed me the 'Cliff 'Em All' tape and I was hooked. I bought a guitar/amp and I've been playing guitar ever since! One of my favorite things to do is to listen to all of the Metallica songs with Cliff on 'em but bass only on KZbin and just hear how amazing Cliff was with a bass. We didn't deserve him for sure.

Omg the bass fills at 1:15,1:28,1:54, and 2:07 ect. is why cliff will always be Metallica's best bassist. He's the only one who did them on this song live. Not only is he the best metal bass soloist, he's also an incredible bassist when grounded laying down a real bassline.

I remember a younger friend of mine was a young punk some years ago. He played bass in a small local band. We were smokin talking one day and metallica came up. He wasn't a fan but he had only heard the newer stuff. I went on a rant about the incredible cliff burton. He had no idea who i was talking about and didnt even know the first 3 lps existed. I put all three on and then showed him cliff em all. I could see in his eyes his was completely floored. Afterwards he was seriously in daze at what he just heard and saw. he asked if he could borrow my vhs cliff em all tape. I let him. Never got it back lmfao. Maybe a year later my frend grew his hair long not unlike cliff(but not as long)and had been nerding out on all old metal. It made a profound change in him, his playing style, and how he approached writing bass lines.

I never got to see him, but I was listening during his time with them. My brother and his friends gave him a pipe-hit f some Oregon Greenery during his solo at The Starry Night (Now...Roseland Theatre) in Portland OR on one of their tours. Wish I had been there.

[@goldenwolf8081]

I only got into Metallica Jan’ 2022 when I was 18. tho I absolutely adore listening to cliffs bass solo’s and seeing him headbang and play like someone who has 35+years experience playing a bass under there belt despite cliff sadly not even making it to 25!. I miss him. and I wish badly he was still alive shredding bass in his 60s with James Lars and Kirk. He was a musical genius taken far far too soon.

He has been so great during his short life that many people still missing him after 37 years as an old friend. I’m one of these… and I’m not the only one. Cliff represents a great source of inspiration for me he did his work, indulging his passions with courage and determination, doing things his way staying humble but without being bullied. I admire him and miss him so much. Love you Cliff

RIP CLIFF

[@baroqueguitarist5673]

No offense to Kirk but Cliffs solos were filled with so much pure emotion and energy they blow Kirks guitar solos from that era out of the water. Cliff similar to SRV had a unique energy to his playing that is a rare. You can really feel Cliffs energy and emotion exploading out of his bass. Such a tradegy the world lost Cliff so early. Imagine all the amazing bass playing we never got to hear from Cliff during Metallica’s peak years. It makes me sad just thinking about the music we lost out on. I love Newsted a lot. But Cliff was truely unique and one of a kind

Never heard this before . The little nuances cliff added to this song over the years was insane. He really had his shit together right about then his tone his playing was just on point

[@smarkmalark]

This is probably Lars’ best performance of this song as well! Like no joke I’m obsessed with Lars as a drummer and have studied his live playing for ages. While he’s still a great writer and composer he’s definitely never been the absolute best live even in their peak eras but for once a recording with 0% fails or noticeable time flops what so ever, great even sped up, and all the fills even if not from the record were still great. I’m sure the boys were proud of him with this show! Also this is the best I think I’ve heard lars play a basic triplet fill! Usually he falls off time whenever playing those bonham type fills but damn we got a regular dave grohl over here

[@smarkmalark]

Also just to be clear I’m not trying to bash Lars even if it’s always fun. Legit would not play drums without him

[@travbony8768]

They are rushing so much in this clip but it still sounds so fucking good. They all stuck together and sound super tight despite doing the song at what must be 1.5+ speed.
