Metallica - Orion (live in Auckland, NZL 2010)

[@clayman9385]

Lars is a phenomenal drummer. The people who say he isn't is the people who usually only like the drummers who double bass a thousand miles an hour through a song. Lars proved he can do that (Dyers Eve, for example), but the thing about Lars is he realiezes he doesn't need to do that in order to have a bad ass metal song. Lars knows the melody of the song, and when the song needs. Sixth highest selling artist of all time, nobody can say he sucks. One of my personal favorites.

[@iluvpepi]

Call me silly, but this brought tears to my eyes, Robert, you are awesome. Cliff, you will never be forgotten.

[@kentfletcher4373]

Silly

[@iluvpepi]

haha

[@danglingbooger3865]

I held back tears until James said God Bless Cliff Burton 😢

[@mztweety1374]

Indeed. He did Cliff proud

[@zerodefects26]

I was there!!! Metallica rules - rock on fuckers!!!

[@LordCornholio31]

the best Orion performance live!!!!

[@alraiss]

Check Seoul 2006

[@CesarSanchez-vy3sy]

The best one!

[@harveyhandbanana]

I must say I really do like Robert he has the knack and works well with the band. Thank god for Robert, and rest in peace to Cliff. Bob did him justice and credit is definitely due.

[@andord123]

4 minutes+ My chest tightens and I can hear every note ripple through me... true signs of masterpiece of music.

[@jaymzhetfield6001]

The tone is SOOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly good. Like this sounds like it was straight off Puppets. Hopefully they kept these guitars for most of the show.

[@ajrloss]

God Bless mr Cliff Burton...

[@gnjilotrulost4887]

god bless Cliff Burton! never forget.

[@406278]

I love how there's a pause and Lars hands over the stage to Rob. Every time this is played, they are paying a homage to Cliff, and I dont think they could have a better bassist leading the tribute. Magnificent guys!

[@JorraneRei]

This epic was played in my hometown?!?! Rob did this masterpiece justice and R.I.P Cliff... you are the man.

[@Worran]

This is the best song ever, that bass solo at the end makes me cry for some reason, and man I havent cried like I dunno how many years... Thanks Cliff, and thanks Rob for perfect performance.

[@johhnyo]

remember when this album came out when I was in highschool..guys were going crazy at how good it was. This tune is still one of the best instrumentals of all time.

[@MrN1koloza]

i was listening to the orion on my uncles funeral. it helped me to live through it.. thanks Cliff, thanks Metallica, Thank God,

[@222Brony]

I love how this song is so simple but yet so powerful and easily one of my favorite songs of all time and also one of my favorite songs to play; even though I play guitar I have to say that Cliff Burton has been a great influence on me and may he rest in peace.

[@chestus12]

Seriously the guys outdid themselves on this performance, it was just so tight...and so epic and legendary and oh god I can't stop listening to it, something magical about it

[@mirandalawson9477]

This is possibly the best version of Orion ever. Yes, even better than the studio version.

[@TitoBongz]

Kirk's take on first solo proves your point. Regardless of his recent (by "recent" I mean last 5-6 years) drop in overall solo performance quality, he gave a solid on-point performance.

[@monitori1111]

I am a 6'7', 300lbs man that lived through a war in Balkans... This song...this song can make me cry... Incredible...

[@tyrivera9924]

i love orion so much. its my get er' done song :D and pretty good for listening for long distance running !

[@JamesKendric]

So nice to see them play this song live again. Can really tell this song means a lot to James, Lars and Kirk. Just warms my heart to see them play with such passion. They will leave this world 1 day, but their legacy and music will live on forever! METALLICA FOR LIFE

[@sukurin451]

i love it..thiz song take me to another dimensions..

[@soberek]

Cliff Burton. Born 50 years ago. Will be remembered for the next 500.

[@coltallic3114]

Come back to NZL!

[@punkdude543]

by far, one of the all time greatest metallica songs ever.

[@barrylynch9608]

I was at this gig - fuck it was epic

[@amandanichols5645]

Yep, me too :)

[@hamdanz1]

My favourite Metallica song. Bar none. I went to the show the night before this :( This would have made dreams come true. Thank god we have KZbin!!

[@DravenErica]

rob done cliff proud

[@Eddiealeex]

I fucking agree

[@Thomaswhorne]

I was at this conerrt i almost started to cry when i heard this song the ensuing head banging prevent that but still cliff is a bass legend and Robert does him justice with how he plays his works as was shown this night

[@dgoncalo]

I want this song at my funeral... It will start out slowly, get a bit more agressive, then calming down again. Starting slowly again it builds progressively until it explodes and ends..... just like life.

[@shamicentertainment1262]

Nice, lars doesn't add to many unnecessary fills in this version

[@solidsnake7325]

My favorite song of all time!!! Thank you Cliff Burton for creating this masterpiece. R.I.P. Cliff Burton.

[@cross147]

That distortion at the beggining!!! by the way... at 2:10 he moves hand but his part is still "go on" ?? o.O

[@scubastevemcfly1933]

i noticed that too. maybe it was a lag? i couldnt be. idk it would break my heart to see them dub over that part for rob

[@cross147]

scubasteve mcfly I hope not.....i hope not..;/

[@johnjingleheimer4416]

They overdub intros like battery, blackened, AJFA where there is like 6 guitar parts but not the main songs themselves. There was no overdub on this song ad if you listen carefully you can hear the imperfections and lars shitty time-keeping.

[@nachocheez9690]

delay

[@GrayFoxKnight]

Whenever Rob first plays the opening riff it's as if the spirit of Cliff Burton is like in him, and playing, it makes me tear up. Fantastic job by Rob for sure!

[@clisk35]

sorry megadeth fans but kirk hammett is far better than mustaine..and i like megadeth but kirk hammet is fuckin wicked.

[@NAYFIZZLER]

Was an awesome night, Thank You Metallica for giving us this opportunity to have such a classic song played in full in front of our little old country . . . You guys are awesome, thanks for not forgetting our little slice of the world \m/ And to the dude who got us this awesome footage, you sir, are a legend . Thanks for sharing . . .

[@housam7zengr]

02:00 cliff burton is better than Robert

[@AidenCrossfade]

was......remember idiot

[@XbraveheartX87]

every time i hear the beginning of this song i get goosebumps. like Ive watched it 50 times, and still EVERY TIME!!!

[@rafaelrp07]

I also saw tihs live. It was recently, in Rock in Rio- 2011. It was a great moment, when guys stoped headbanging and the moshpits and just keep staring at the stage, like they're blessed to be hearing and watching this instrumental masterpiece!

[@twotone85]

One of my favorite metallica songs. Love the bass intro, the heavy and slow pace to the whole song. Just a good song.

[@mojolito]

This song has a holy aura around, its just magical.

[@MetalMark9]

This song takes me on a journey every time I listen to it

[@marouss107]

OMG after an 1000 times it's always so good!!! Great guitars harmony, bass solo and an out of touch drum...one of the greatest metal song of all time.

[@TheGamerFru]

this song is so awesome, and we played it tonight!

[@jblrules316]

So glad I was there to see it live. Also glad a they professionally shot this too.

[@liljuve13]

I feel special because I actually saw this song LIVE. So awesome, I wish I could go back in time to see it again. :'(

[@nerkonator]

Cliff miss you to much we will never forget you .

[@legionofwarriors]

after all these years I still see the bass player as a complete outsider and his playing simple doesnt cut it for me. I miss Jason , that was METALLICA 100%. this is something else

[@coltsfan4lyfe]

Cliff was looking down on the boys, giving the metal sign and playing along!!! LONG LIVE CLIFF BURTON'S MEMORY!!!

[@itsMattydud3]

much respect to rob for nailing this Cliff would sure as hell be proud to see these guys today

[@SuperCAVEMAN1976]

I didnt even know some of that solo was Cliff until I saw this song played live. And Ive been listening to these guys since 1988. He definately was ahead of his time as a Bassist. Cliff plus James equals magic.

[@ImDusky]

love this song!!! listening to it at night with your window open.....

[@takuno1]

best heavy band in the world ever!!!!!love you guys!!!!mettalica rules!!!!

[@Ibanezibor]

God bless Cliff Burton,nobody should die at such a young age

[@PsD14JR]

This is best tribute to cliff, play his song and show the audience how timeless his masterpiece is.

[@Itachifan186]

I respect Jason for re-arranging the parts in Ktulu and Orion in honour of Cliff, accepting that Cliff is the master. But I find more respect in Rob for playing Cliff's lines, and making Cliff more alive then ever.

[@jacoboglopez9744]

I'm not a big fan of Metallica but this song makes me cry, Cliff IS one of the best bass players in the world!!! R.I.P.

[@GPerrozzz]

Why the hell i get that chill in the spine everytime i hear this song?

[@akathasamurai]

I love how they got a bassist that is also a huge Cliff fan.

[@abstarb]

This is my favourite live Metallica vid. I get goosebumps at 0.59 everytime

[@youth2007tube]

Excellent, one of the best songs from Metallica

[@blackk4694]

This is very cool to watch. They sound great. Such a classic song. So ballsy of them to play this nowadays with Cliff gone and all. God bless Metallica.

[@chawk610]

One of the coolest tunes of all time! Robert represented.

[@MetalD1111]

When I play this song on my guitar I can feel cliff playing with me!! God bless him!!

[@sk8poika]

yeah, he does straighten up the curves in every song. still nice to see them play it, cliff was a hell of a man with that bass!

[@michael.p27]

I don't know why there's so much hate on Rob , while I do admit nobody can replace Cliff , Robert is as close as it gets. He is an awesome bass player and his stage presence is absolutely amazing, really brings metallica back to life.

[@roxy30005]

damnn like i love this oldy can i say that....is it possible ....mother of 6 boys .im from 73 still jamn love the bass and guitar cliff where are u loved u

[@wakerds]

T___T SUCH A GREAT COMPOSITION!!!! METALLICA FOREVER!!!! ♥ LONG LIVE METALLICA!

[@DarkJoker95]

This is why i want to see metallica live in my country.

[@boldizzle]

I was there, this concert was easily the best concert I've been to!!

[@SokolAug]

I think that is the best performance of this song ever!

[@joeibonezz]

Holy Shit!!! This is ONE THe BEST songs in the existence of songs and there's NO words!!! \m/!!!!!and the Bass is sick!!!!!!!!!!! No one but Cliff and now Rob could do that!!!thank the fucking magic of GOD for this band!!!!

[@louiswilson7986]

RIP Cliff Burton, we love you, the ending of the video teared me up

[@Drubix3]

Here Hear!!! This is the song that I have requested as a vigil when I die. My fam gets and understands. It's the song.... A soundtrack to many lives 8 minutes at a time.... no matter who is i the band. They needed to heal before playing it....how many years did it take for them to put it back into their show? ... Robert Trojillo captured me with ST. Super human. All about the music, little about the appearance.... Thank you for posting this, we already have something in common! Cheers, Drubix3

[@CanicasNeverSayDie]

" And God Bless Mr Cliff Burton..." those works , just break me R.I.P †Clifford Lee Burton†

[@imandre98]

[@Gereth123]

The first concert i ever saw was Metallica in Detroit rock city in 1986 when they were touring with Ozzy on the puppetts tour. I saw Cliff play this then and watching Robert play it now Cliff would be proud. There both amazing bass players and deserveded of everyones respect.

[@teodorazzz]
