[@CHlEFFIN]

Agree mate...

[@NandR]

This is the essence of bassist Cliff Burton in one song. This is heavy and classical rock. Melodic. The notes you think are guitar notes are often bass notes. This was his last record before dying. It’s a masterpiece of songwriting.

[@insufferablethrashelitist9305]

Yeah Cliff's influence on the band can't be overstated and you can really hear his amazing sense of music on Orion. We always tend to view Metallica as James (and Lars to a lesser extent) band, but if you read all their old interviews cliff was the wiser big brother who came in, shaped, honed and injected classic melody into it while keeping it heavy as shit. He really created the Metallica sound up to this point.

That solo of his coming out of the slower part... Man, I listened to that song for 20+ years before I realized that wasn't Kirk Hammett playing.

I had one of those big ass stereo systems in my room as a kid. I had all the Metallica albums (at that time they had just come out with the black album) on cassette tape. I'd listen to them all day everyday, and then all night as I slept. They started my love of metal.

Orion is badass. I introduced my son to Metallica when he was five. I heard him in his bedroom playing Orion when he was~ 17. Something sounded slightly off so I opened his bedroom door and he was jamming it on his bass. I was shocked, excited and deep down a little envious because he surpassed me.

One of the best metal instrumentals ever put to tape, period. As a bassist myself, Cliff was a big influence, and I LOVE his playing throughout the entire song - definitely one of the highlights of his career. 80's synth pop music IS actually my favorite overall type of music - I don't hear that at all in the intro to this song. I hear a growly (not typical of 80's pop) organ coming in very slowly and deliberately. Next Thrash song should definitely be Metallica - Damage Inc. - you'll never forget the first time you hear this one 😁

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1380">23:00</a> the metal version of a "loosey" is called a single, and they release them all time. But the reason metal bands release full albums is because they're an experience front to back and they intend for the listener to enjoy it.

These guys react to such a diverse bunch of music, and I love every single reaction. Since Orion is an instrumental I could understand why their commentary was a bit less than other videos, but still great overall. Some other reactors just go “hm,” or “wow,” and capitalize off music, but they actually put in the effort to pause the music and blindly commentate on what they’re hearing. 10/10

[@RunsLikeMays]

In 26 songs, Cliff Burton carved out a legacy that the Hard Rock and Metal Community has yet to catch up to, and "Orion" is his crowning achievement. That swing, blues section still gives me goosebumps after all of these years. Taking the big three of "Master of Puppets", "One", and "Fade to Black" off the table, this could be considered their greatest song. Scott Ian of Anthrax compared this song to the works of Bach, and he's not wrong. Metallica DID indulge into some blues work on their Load/Re-Load albums, and produced two of their most underrated songs: "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn". Both of those songs are more than worthy of being reacted to by Lost in Vegas.

[@kyleharvey9810]

S&M version of both bleeding me and outlaw of torn, outlaw possibly being better then the original was just amplified by the orchestra and an instant classic in my opinion
