A lot of people in the comments complaining that cliff isn't playing 16th notes with the guitar. It's not that he can't play it that way, it's that it sounds better to play it the way he did. What he's doing is locking in with the rhythm of the bass drums while following the chord progression of the guitars at the same time. Its not a simplified version of the guitar riff, its called a bassline. The bassists job is to glue the rhythm guitar and drums together, not double the rhythm guitar. A lot of non musicians don't understand this.

@@jonathanryan2915 I think it's still a problem with a lot of heavier styles honestly. I started hanging out in this club a lot lately where they play a lot of 60s and 70s rock'n'roll. The bass is just monumental on all that stuff. So much of what we learned to identify as hard rock and heavy metal gets its thunderous heaviness from the bass guitar. That kind of totally went away in the 80s. Maybe it's the multi-tracked guitar gain fetishism that happened with the first true "super hotrodded" amps and the advent of the really big recording consoles with their many channels etc. ... but people kind of forgot how important the bass is for hard rock.
