Metallica - Seek and Destroy (Loud Cliff Burton Bass)

This song sounds so cool like that! You can hear every note Cliff plays... I used the multitrack file and since I had access to all isolated tracks, I obviously mixed them the way I wanted to: I got rid of James' rhythm guitar during Kirk's solos (nothing personal, James!). I turned James' vocals up and it sounds more contemporary like that. I turned Lars' drums down a bit cause he really likes them loud, lol. That way Cliff's bass comes to life and when Kirk soloes it's the coolest thing cause Cliff can provide rhythm and harmony to the band without electric guitars getting in the way. Metallica sounds like a 70s rock band that way, with just one lead guitarist and a lead singer, with the bass player providing rhythm and foundation. This is just a new perspective on an amazing band, they're absolutely great the way they are, but with a fresh mix like this one you can tell that things could sound very different if the leaders of the band were Cliff and Kirk, for example. I hope you guys like it! (especially all the bass players out there, this is our revenge agains producers who mix our instrument really low in the mix).
By the way, my role here wasn't just simply of adjusting volumes: I mastered this track, you can tell it sounds much louder than the original, I used compressors, brickwall limiters, equalizers, etc. So it's an original production as well. I felt like I could be Metallica's engineer for a day, lol.

We really need a bass enhanced version of the call of ktulu

[@J_Ritz]

Oh good the little hammer ons in the main riff don’t sound like farts anymore

[@BigFatDoobie]

that's how it should be done from the beginning

[@joshmark5297]

had no idea there was wah fills in this song

[@tmp1k]

Man, I love how people are able to do this sort of thing these days.

[@nicktashman4023]

[@jeromem2292]

Thats Not loud...That Should be normal...😒

[@m_b_lmackenzie4510]

I don't understand why the original could not have a louder bass, sounds much better like this...

[@dominblabla]

This should be the original version.

[@FlyingVMartin]

Love this clear tone of bass.

[@mattmoves5920]

Why all Metallica songs sound all so juicy with enhanced bass?

[@MrCliffyk]

You deserve a Metal of honor sir for doing these. See what I did there?

[@sofakinglipid]

Thank you sir! Keep them coming. Do all the best songs of the first three albums please.

[@Berenice901]

Cliff is awesome as always. The bass sounds like an hammer in the head… the wah wah effect at 2.51 and 5.28 drive me crazy. Cliff has never missed the opportunity to prove to be a true genius. Love you Cliff

This is the way the official remaster should have sounded. Cliff still too quiet in the mix on the official remaster for my liking

[@philipibaugh2925]

Nasty ass bass coming through, crystal clear too. Was trying to get through the play list before commenting but why wasn't this done originally? Thanks brother! Very much enjoyed!

[@danielwiklander8614]

Surprised Lars hasn't sic'd his lawyers on this yet.:) Amazing mix! They way it should have been done.

[@Megaseawolf]

This should be the standard 🤔

[@gabrielzanoni3474]

sounds soooo much better like this, no comparison!

[@italocastro479]
