Dude's played that song so many times he could do it blindfolded.

[@dazling5890]

I can't imagine the pressure Rob must be under every time he plays that solo but he pulls it off every time.

[@mattalan6618]

yeah its like that solo was written for him and only he could pull it off they way he does

[@GarySandStorm]

Rokas Lape exactly, and they know it, because ive been to 2 concerts one in 2006 and in 2013, both of which 95% were older stuff(the better stuff). they dont force anything the crowd doesnt want, just enough for promotional purposes :D

[@slenderbc0751]

+GarySandStorm Yes, but they should play new songs more often, some songs in Death Magnetic are also masterpieces, but with bad mixing in the album, so, alive would be better.

[@7777REBEL]

hetfield is a genius and orion is truly a masterpiece..metallica for life

[@agaJCh]

YES

[@Spells1]

I think cliff wrote most of it

[@joshuaschalesky]

What Robert did at 8:16 was purely epic in my opinion. Both sounded good and looked badass. Good job getting that, cameraman.

amazing performance. Robert on bass..... god bless Cliff Burton

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

+slenderbc07 Rob is the mst talented PLAYER they have ever had, dave is good and all but he is best as a rythm guitarist and his lead is subpar ron i havent heard him enough to make a decision but CLiff he was a great writer but his playing was rather sloppy Jason was a decent player but he was nothing special Rob he is one of the best bassists i know of currently and Lars is self explanatory JAmes is really good and kirk does the job

James Hetfield is one of the greatest guitar players to ever grace this planet. So effortless, never any mistakes, no need to look, it’s all coming from the heart. We as a human race are incredibly lucky.

[@nonstoprocker5377]

It really cracks me up how everyone rags on Lars drumming...yeah, technically hes not the best...but he has incredible drive and energy and I could not imagine Metallica without him...Quadruple paradiddles are nice and all that...but give me a guy who puts every ounce of his being into the music 100% and youve got a killer drummer...I think he kicks ass...!!

[@ImaHeatseekr]

NonStopRocker he sucks here thou

[@bbbuttahcakes]

It's not about paradiddles or technical shit. It's about GROOVE for a beat/song like Orion. Just listen to the original track and then listen to Lars' drums here. I don't normally bag on Lars, but it's almost unlistenable. There is no groove whatsoever. It sounds like every measure is a different tempo, and then on top of it he's adding all sorts of unnecessary fills. This is the worst I've ever heard him sound.

[@BLAZEREN101]

The only thing that would’ve improved Metallica as a band would have been having another drummer. Lars is fucked in so many ways.

[@deangelobayley7079]

[@SuperVerst]

In his defense, a lot of musicians dress up songs when playing them live from the studio versions. Granted it's not as prevalent for drummers to do it as guitarists but if it makes the song sound better than why not.

[@mohka136]

+SuperVerst Nah man Lars Ulrich's fills are unecessary and butchers the song.

[@SuperVerst]

Maybe, maybe not. In truth I'm not a drummer, I'm a bass player. Overall I personally didn't think Lars drum fills were all that bad, but to each their own. I was just trying to give a reason for his dressing up the song.
