Came for the bass Stayed for the bass

[@Lucerne9]

Yeah fr, I didn't know that those lines in the song was from bass. The bass guitar is what truly completed this song

[@Lucerne9]

Each instrument would be a video on its own

[@globetrekker86]

I’m all about that bass, ‘bout that bass! Go, Burton! Nikolay was sent here by Cliff, himself

[@SonsOfDeForest]

came for the bass came for the bass

[@michaelhanna9454]

im a guitarist but the bass on this song kicks ass

[@inflames9045]

Let's be honest. This song is underrated.

@@malakai.2025 this song is underrated not the album idiot

[@nicholas_scott]

It has always been highly regarded, especially the bass. I saw a list the other day of "every metallica song ranked". Ktulu was #23 out of #115. That seems accurate.

Who is under-rating it ?.......

I love how Kirk is like, “I’ll just play this entire guitar solo in D major, even though everyone else is playing D minor”.

[@Bob-on5fl]

;-;

[@incognito_mode5741]

Marty Friedman on tornado of souls: That is a GREAT idea!

[@sonicxhunters8344]

But does it work musically? Sorry, I don’t know any theory.

[@monsieurmitosis]

@@sonicxhunters8344 Well, that's a question you'll have to answer for yourself, although I should clarify by saying it's not the whole solo at all...that was an exaggeration. But that run from 4:15-4:20 is definitely D major and it was definitely done on purpose. I personally think it works okay, it gives that part of the lead break a wonky flavour that suits the theme of the track in my opinion.

[@sonicxhunters8344]

@@monsieurmitosis Got it, yea to me it sounds great, I know in the end it only matters how it sounds to you. Thanks for your answer.

[@bobalagna9734]

Great cover. The bass part impressed me the most. Cliff would have been proud.

[@stephenelkins6833]

Funny how over 30 years ago all I wanted to do was recreate Metallica. Now I'm watching young musicians do it so awesome. Jealous? Of course! Great job! I hope to hear your own music in the future before I'm out of the future.

[@chaneketaso]

James, Lars, Kirk, & Cliff all in One 🔥🤘👏

[@themonopolyguy4365]

Not only is the bass similar but the drums are in the pocket as well. Very explosive sound but not over done, just like ride the lightning.

[@Peter_1986]

This track has a very interesting atmosphere. I think it is partly because of the roaring bass melodies that constantly lurk in the background - it gives the whole track a cool haunting feel that says "Ktulu is coming...!", especially those "RAAAWR!" parts.

[@leshasav]

Как надо любить музыку, чтобы играть такие каверы?)

[@evasium7716]

leshashest согласен, особо поразила партия баса. Я конечно знал что там Клифф Бёртон сумасшедший, но я не знал что на столько.

[@RaskalTheKing]

Fuck. Imagine if Metallica could mix a song this well, much less an album. Mind. Blown.

[@Devil2k81]

This is how Metallica could do live shows in the midst of this pandemic.

[@monsieurmitosis]

Yes...James should film himself playing everything, especially the drums.

[@hifinphoto]

please No. They no longer have a bassist, a vocalist and a drummer.... so what for.

[@DustinDollinsShinBone]

Too much work for too little pay for them.
