First Time Hearing "Orion" by METALLICA

[@TheOfficialCartierFamily]

So, What’s Better Studio Version On Metallica Or Live?

[@logancreed5041]

Live is awesome, but the studio was Cliff and Is F****** Flawless

[@darrinsteele9841]

Studio imo, could y’all check out My Friend of misery by Metallica or maybe The outlaw torn by Metallica?

[@luigidabber4573]

Studio, fasho.

[@ctguitarguy8510]

For this song, and songs like it, that are really instrumental, long, intricate, you should generally stick to the studio first.

[@ericeric8373]

Definitely you should check out the studio version!

[@thirty__]

To actually take this song in to its fullest is to listen to the studio version so you could hear how Cliff played it. Rob is good but the reason this song is so great is Cliff on the bass, it is truly a masterpiece.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

My thoughts exactly I was hoping they were gonna jam the album version

[@BBaker916]

Yes, you cannot have the same experience on the first decade of Metallica without Cliff. There's a reason they don't play some older songs live. Some out of respect, others because no other bassist can do what Cliff could.

[@Mike_H76]

Couldn't agree more! Rob is excellent, I just don't see him in Metallica, personal opinion, anyone with a different one... good for you! Dang Lars gained a whole person in weight since the 90's!!!

[@JohnnyDollar720]

You're not wrong about cliff, but I dig how they play it tuned down

[@bigchris757]

We need them to react to Anesthesia(pulling teeth) to understand Cliff's greatness.

[@johnkopmeier3579]

This sounds great for a live version, and Trujillo is a beast, but y'all need to check out the album version, with Cliff Burton on bass. No one compares to him.

[@RojoCube]

Not comparing him but Johnny Christ is amazing live. I got to see A7X with The Rev. (Last tour before he passed away) but Johnny Christ did some solo stuff waiting for the others to get ready.

[@nehuge]

Agreed, album version

[@red-stapler574]

You should check out Trujillo's original band Suicidal Tendencies.

[@emilhindo4784]

Really need to be the studio version for this.. 100% Having that said its a nice live version, but nothing will ever beat the studio version for this particular song. With headphones, even better, but that goes without saying for Metallica :)

[@JawsVader1970]

You should check out s&m 1 and 2 from them no leaf clover and All within my hands

[@sb859]

Cliff Burton enjoyed and studied classical music, and it influenced his writing. Orion is proof. RIP Cliff.

[@TheEdorizo]

I was very grateful when they played this song last month at foxborough stadium

[@robertgerenser366]

Orion is the best instrumental of the 1980s. You guys have to do Dyers Eve next!

[@BJJUSAF]

I have been saying that for the last 3+ Metallica songs they have reacted to. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to see that reaction. Such a poignant and powerful song when you know the story behind it. Really heavy stuff and imagine James as a child screaming in pain in those lyrics. With their instrumental kick, I want so bad for them to do Pulling Teeth. That song you see the true beauty that made Cliff Burton something special. It’s also why I personally feel that if there was no Cliff Burton, we wouldn’t have Metallica.

[@panamajack9T]

To live is to die and Dyers Eve because they kind of go together that's my favorite Metallica instrumental to live is to die

[@PJBonoVox]

@@BJJUSAF Same. It the best thrash era Metallica song in my personal opinion.

[@BensSoZen]

I really do like Call of Ktulu better.. it's more like an orchestral epic

[@justinmccarty3886]

For me, its inseperable from To Live is to Die.

[@nathanpowell5941]

Definitely listen to the original studio version, thru some good headphones, in a room by yourself with your eyes closed. Y'all might not find anything about the meaning of this song online, due to the lack of lyrics, but listen to it as I described above and you'll find meaning in it. Remember, Orion is The Hunter. FWIW, this is my favorite Metallica song.

[@7BlueDodger]

Cliff wrote most of this song. This was his swan song, released roughly 6 months before he passed. He never got to perform it live. I’m glad you guys noticed the “Cliff Burton Day” sign and bothered to look him up. He’s my favorite Metallica member. 🤘🔥🔥🤘

[@ordinarypete]

Sac’d

[@tylerp8218]

Studio version is a must for this song. One of the most beautiful and rugged pieces of music imo 🔥

[@donaldshelton3511]

You should listen to the studio version to really appreciate the song. Cliff Burton on bass makes a huge difference. Plus check out Cliff Burton playing the bass solo Pulling Teeth live. Cliff will blow your mind on the bass

[@Sum_Jigh]

You nailed it!

[@m.ericwatson968]

Always a moving tribute to Cliff when they play Orion live in concert, Robert Trujillo does the bass parts justice but the studio version is a masterpiece and Cliff Burton's swan song; he was killed in a tour bus accident in Sweden in 1986, their tour bus swerved then rolled over, Cliff was thrown out a window and the bus landed on top of him...hell of a way to go

[@travisbeckner6849]

It's 100 times better the studio version, the song that never star and never ends, and orion gives you only 8 minutes of the song but enough to a human. The studio version has the cliff burton's ingenuity, a masterpiece that culminates the máster of puppets álbum. The Best disk of metal ever written

[@branthemuffin5872]

Ya'll should check out some Pantera. This is all preference of course, but I prefer Dimebag Darrell's guitar playing over Kirk and James. The mainstream intro to the band would be "Walk" but there are so many great songs to choose from by them. Personally, I would highly recommend "Domination" but you guys already did it 3 months ago. That breakdown at the end fueled my love for breakdowns early on in my metal journey. Maybe check out something like Cemetery Gates. It has some soul in it and some heaviness R.I.P Dimebag

[@randywatson8347]

Yeah Pantera is dope.

[@AnonYmous-il2qc]

Metallica has so many bangers especially early on

[@mariotuber148]

This is the one of the best if not the best songs on MoP and the best instrumental in the 80s Also it’s called Oh Ri Yin Orion

[@adammoffatt3832]

I've heard this song a million times but Kirk's guitar at 8:43 in that section gave me the most huge goosebumps in this version.

[@davidh7123]

You guys should definitely check out the studio version of this. It's one of Metallica's best ever songs and the live versions, while great sometimes, just don't compare to the original studio version's sound quality imo

[@sshold]

When you get a chance listen to anesthesia pulling teeth on kill em all. Then check out the video on S&M2 where the guy from the symphony gets to play it. You know that dude waited his whole life for that moment.

[@sumonjamal1653]

'Orion' was the instrumental on the 1986 album 'Master of Puppets'... (Metallica was from the 80's) It was largely the work of bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed in a tour bus accident in 1986 at age 24 and he was a schooled musician. If u listen to the studio version, there's the quiet section w/ bass that sounds like a cosmic soundtrack and a very sad, mournful solo from Kirk Hammett... It was almost like Cliff Burton had an inkling that he was not going to make it and this piece of music was him saying 'goodbye'. Cliff's sister Connie Burton said in an interview that her brother was not religious (as far as she knew... he loved smoking pot 😁) but often, she would see Cliff up every morning in their parents' house watching Bill Graham Ministries on TV and repeating a line about "the kingdom of salvation"... The members of Metallica also recalled Cliff would be talking about 'the kingdom of salvation' from Bill Graham ministries and wrote a short poem while he was alive. After he died, Metallica recorded 'To live is to die' in 1988 and added Cliff Burton's poem as a spoken word in the instrumental track.

[@wallaceh.9423]

Lars is a beast. Always gets a lot of hate but he is the conductor to the Metallica train

Lars does take a lot of *&^ . People think they should replace him but there is no Metallica without him. Lars and James put together all the songs and then add in Kirk and Robert.

RIP CLIFF BURTON!! The master bassist and composer of this song and to be honest it’s something Metallica hardly plays, it’s just a beautiful memory of the genius of Cliff Burton. He actually studied musical theory, and he’s a major part of the Metallica growth in how they wrote their music, REST IN POWER CLIFF 🌹❤️ When Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Metallica brought up RAY BURTON who is Cliffs father, and he was so gracious to Metallica and the fans, truly shows how the band takes care of “family”

I’m a music instructor, I teach bass, piano, and guitar. Two of my students actually performed this song on bass and guitar two months ago during a recital. Both teenagers. It’s cool to see u guys expanding your musical horizons, mad props. Also what u said was exactly on point. Everybody in the band has a job to do. The drummers job is to make sure the rhythm is solid, the guitar has to provide melody and harmony, the bass locks in with the rhythm of the drums and the harmony of the guitar to make them fit together, and the singer has to look good on stage lol.

I've been listening to Metallica for over 30 years. There are a lot of great songs to choose from in their catalog. I would say check out the videos for "One" and "The Unforgiven." Both songs have powerful videos that go along with the thought-provoking lyrics. Thank you Cartier Crew💕
