TEEN & DAD REACT to METALLICA - ORION!!! (EPIC!!!!) | RIP CLIFF BURTON, the GOAT

[@ChemicalReactions]

What a song! Let's drop your predictions now! Anything you expect will beat this masterpiece for number 1 on the TOP 10?

[@djentyman4002]

AC/DC- “Jailbreak” live at Donington will probably be close. The opening riff by Malcolm Young is so brutal!

[@Krautline]

Could maybe be Call of Ktulu, also by Metallica. Or my request YYZ by Rush

[@89erMerun]

I think Equilibrium - Mana could beat it, but it isn't on your list :( Easily it could beat it I think.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Can't predict which song but I predict that the song will be from the late 70's-late 80's. Sorry, prog metallers and djentheads - you aren't touching this kind of stuff, I don't care how many strings you put on it or how good your drummer is at tempo changes.

[@robpaul7544]

Sorry to disappoint but this does nothing for me. Never liked metallica and the only thing that makes this somewhat better or different is that Hetfield keeps his mouth shut 😓 Seeing you guys enjoying it so much is fun though 😄🤘

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Ironic and iconic when she tells Chuck "turn it up LOUDER!" - yes, young Metal Grasshopper - Cliff Burton must be played at the highest level possible at all times.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

11:20 - both mellow and heavy. That's what was missing in this band after Cliff passed. Not only was a he a monster rock bassist, he was also a great CLASSICAL musician, guitarist and composer. By far the most technically gifted musician this band ever has had (including Mustaine) but Cliff had what most technical players lack - ability to play with emotion and let the rest of the band breathe. So amazing to realize the influence he has had on music - metal and rock in particular - in what ended up being a very short time.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Also, if you see video of him playing live... Raw power. You'll never see James Hetfield or Kirk Hammett smile as much as they did when Cliff was on stage with them. I think he brought something very special to this band and fans of this band that superceded music... Like Darrell Abbott, the world is only learning just now what music is and will be without their influence.

It'll be 2189 and there will be a kid in a basement somewhere discovering Master for the first time and losing himself in the raw power then he'll look into the history of music and come across a man with curly hair, red beard and a black tooth grin. That day, metal will rise from whatever ashes it found itself in a century from now and they'll say "They were the most influential of any era"

It's technically a riff though...

[@xerodelacroix5552]

I called that bass part a riff... honestly sounds more to like a riff than a solo but semantics really. I love the sound of that bass solo/riff harmonizing with the guitars!

[@briank3799]

Good to see a father sharing something close to his heart, like this fresh ass metallica song with his daughter. And nice to see her at least pay attention to the freshness. This is a dope ass song. I know I get choked up and teary eyed listening to it. Hope she appreciates the song and cherishes these moments with her father. A lot of times parents and their children don't get along like that, that's usually the parents fault. this guy seems like he's probably a stand-up father. Good job dad salute!

[@macbearer2514]

It's a stunning work of pure metal flavoured art.melts you're face but gently

[@ChristopherStendeck]

I have a lot of memories wrapped up in this one. When I was 17-18, my friend and I used to lie on the hood of his car (like Wayne and Garth at the end of the runway), with this playing on the stereo, and lose ourselves in the starry night sky. Coincidentally, the car in question was a Ford Orion. From the sublime to the ridiculous; another friend insisted it was called "Onion", and would dismiss any evidence to the contrary as misprint. As long as I knew him, he never backed down. I once asked him why they would call such a masterpiece "Onion". His ready and condescending reply was "Because of the layers, man!... Anyway, there's no such thing as an Orion." Sigh...

[@ChemicalReactions]

Nice story! And glad to see you back in the comments!

[@lovefortruth3414]

"Because of the layers"! Yes! 😂

[@wewin_inonog]

The intro is actually Cliff's bass in fuzz effect slowly fades in. The Riff in 2:34 and solo in 8:27 are Cliff's bass as well, played in harmony. 😊

[@rondavis5315]

I voted for Orion but another great instrumental by Metallica is Suicide and Redemption off of the Death Magnetic album.

[@jonesi24]

When you said “those guitar harmonies” on that solo, that was all Cliff brother. That was the bass!

I think the bass intro to "Orion" is done on bass guitar as well, just lots of effects and cleaned up to create that "cosmic sound"

[@bassplaya3819]

You're right! Very heavy distortion, along with sustain, and other effects. He uses 3 power chords to achieve the sound.

CLIFF BURTON IS THE JIMI HENDRIX OF THE BASS PLAYERS

[@PJBonoVox]

Cliff Burton on bass, Jimi on guitar and Keith Moon on drums. Oh yes.

[@SteveJ0966]

In the words of Joni Mitchell, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone". I remember when I heard about Cliff's death. I'd just gone to college, fallen in with a bunch of older metalheads, and one day one of them was distraught from hearing the news. I didn't appreciate at the time we'd lost one of the all time natural metal bass players. Given more time he'd have been up there with Lemmy. You only have to watch some of their live videos, the "Day on the Green" in particular to see he was a force of nature, played that bass with no regard for the rules whatsoever. I remember one of our College "Rock Soc" evenings when I persuaded the DJ to play Orion. I was the only one on the dance floor to begin with but people soon caught on. Sadly missed. \m/

[@SteveJ0966]

Here y'go Chuck ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5XPgqyEmsRsqqc

[@daveb947]

Steve Jeffery i had basically turned 6 when Cliff died. I would listen to and record any Metallica song i heard with my crappy "stereo" since i was about 5 and I turned SO many people into at least Metallica fans with albums up to "The Black Album" (more recent as well) and older concert vids. Cliff would have been a borderline or an actual Bass God. But, he made an impact and is still remembered. and not just remembered, but remembered fondly by all he knew, met and influenced.

[@seanmurphy637]

What a great piece. Cliff was phenomenal. The version Metallica did at the end of the their movie Through the Never was also really good. You should check it out.

Master of Puppets starts off hard with Battery then keeps going through 5 more songs until it hits Orion with its incredibly mellow bass solo.

If I can give one piece of feedback... You’re clearly a fan of the song (which is amazing). When you paused at the start of the base solo and explain that it’s going into a slow spot you take away the surprise of hearing that for the first time. Most people hearing the song really don’t expect it...so it’s fun to see how they respond to that. So that’s just my little suggestion. Be careful not to spoil surprises you know are coming up. Love the channel and it’s awesome seeing a family bonding this way. Rock on! 🤘

There are three I by them I can think of-Transylvania, Genghis Khan and Losfer Words (there is a forth one-Ides of March, but its short and is basically just a intro to Wrathchild) If you choose Transylvania make sure it's a live version (Live at the Rainbow 1981 is probably the best).

Memorable for many,loved by even more.

[@FzNd]

Just because I've listened to it a lot recently, I'd probably vote for *Toska - Prayermonger* (while not on your list). It's certainly in my top spot of instrumentals at the moment. It remains to be seen if it can stand the test of rime. Toska is an instrumental band that is not nearly well-known enough. There's a superb live version of the song from this year's download festival on youtube.

Always loved the harmonized melodic passage,- being Scandinavian my first thought is of Swedish folk songs ( because of the minor key tonality - Norwegian and Danish folk songs tend to be more major key based ) with bonfires, people dancing in the fields during midsummer´s evening and the violins playing endless tunes just like this. Would so love to hear the entire song in an acoustic version with guitars, flutes, recorders, cellos, violins incl. the Hardangerfeles ( a special Sandinavian folk version of a violin) and of course accordions. I have no doubt the acoustic version would be just as awesome as the original tune.

[@metallicavoices]

I absolutely love Orion. I can probably say it's my favorite instrumental. But it leans heavily on Cliff. I could only imagine how much better he would have gotten when he continued to grow. He was already top 5 bassists in any genre. It is interesting to think about.
