The Evolution of Metallica's BASS Solos Through the Years

[@ethanbarc]

Jason Newsted was absolutely brilliant In Metallica from 1986 until he departed from Metallica in January 2001

[@rkaya1651]

unlucky talent in the sea of arrogance

[@rebekahbehr517]

Cliff has the most distorted tone out of all of them

[@joelbelec9032]

And the best bends. How tf on a bass?

[@whyjermeysocute]

@@joelbelec9032extremely light gauge strings the thickest string is only like 90 or something

[@UltimaJC]

@@whyjermeysocute Yup. I put the same gauge of Rotosound 35-90 strings he used on my 4 string just to try it out and it unlocked basically a whole new world. As an aside those strings are fantastic lol

[@whyjermeysocute]

@@UltimaJC I also use them and you’re right it does unlock a whole new world it can definitely spice up your playing style but I do like the strings Jason newsted used too the hard rocking steels

[@josueismad6778]

Everyone shit on James, Kirk, and specially Lars. But never have I ever seen someone ever complain or make fun of any of Metallica's bassists. All 3 of Metallica's bassists are loved and respected by both Metallica fans and the rest of the metal community.

[@Ryu_Ake]

@@josueismad6778 i dont think trujillo gets the respect he deserves

[@josueismad6778]

@@Ryu_Ake I agree and disagree. I think Trujillo doesn't get the "recognition" he deserves. He's an amazing bassist, extremely talented. But he's not known for his work in Metallica, more or less his work in Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves. He is fairly respected, just not recognized among Metallica's bassists.

[@thesunofnothing5923]

What I love is how absolutely beautiful Jason’s Solos can be. They make you feel something. In the beginning of his time with Metallica, his aggressive solos are hit and miss, almost like he’s trying to be Cliff. But every time he sits and plays it’s just soulful playing and really feels like him. Just a compliment to my favorite bassist. 🖤

[@andrewpappas9311]

All of them have such distinctive styles that set them apart from the others, Cliff was more technical, Jason was melodic and Rob was the funkiest but they’re all fucking awesome

[@PrimarySweeper13]

Cliff will always be remembered

[@birdbrain_guitarcovers1835]

What I loved was that people started clapping during Cliff’s solo during the Roskilde Festival, it shows how much a bass/bassist can be loved

[@nuupez6648]

didn't know that jason can slap like that

[@Ryu_Ake]

He slapped in Cure from Load as well. Song is pretty bad but it does has this fact

[@nuupez6648]

@@Ryu_Akeoh cool

[@derekgagnon1250]

Its not that bad​@@Ryu_Ake

6:55 "so guys, this is a tribute for an bassist that i saw at the audition for Metallica, which i passed, but he din't unfortunatly, so i'm gonna make an homenaje to him"

[@MrFlamingoMan400]

R.I.P Cliff

[@exotictrap_]

If i’m being honest I prefer Jason’s bass solos over cliff’s… cliff’s are awesome and shreddy, but Jason’s are very melodic and soulful… the same goes to Rob

[@twighthehe]

Agreed

[@ethanbarc]

Cliffs last Performance With Metallica was in Stockholm Sweden on September 26 1986 he tragically died on September 27th 1986 in a Tragic Bus Accident while on tour in Sweden 🇸🇪

[@Possibly_A_Drummer]

Jason's 1987 solo kind of reminds me of the Chop Suey intro

[@Wind_of_motobreath]

Клиффорд Ли Бёртон оставил этому миру часть своего таланта, своего звука и своего музыкального голоса. Джейсон Ньюстед показал миру свою чувственную игру и свой музыкальный голос, попытался продолжать как Клифф. Боб Рок хоть и не участвовал на концертах, но с написанием бас-партий помог. Роб Трухильо....ну, он показал, что можно выглядеть смешно, играя на бассу.

[@yuker_om_pochidor]

Роб тоже старается.

[@fimklum7325]

@@yuker_om_pochidorпочему «если приглядеться»? Он мощно играет, если посмотреть его выступления до металлики он вообще монстр, у него быстрая техника рука мощная игра. В новом альбоме вроде исполняет вроде пальцами быстрые Басс партии

[@yuker_om_pochidor]

@@fimklum7325 кто ж спорит. Я в его защиту и написал комментарий.

[@lucky_the_hedgehog]

Боб Рок участвовал в 2-ух концертах в 2002 году, если правильно помню (но не на большой сцене, разумеется). Плюс он дал нам мощные бас-партии на St. Anger.

[@neVernope]

Роб - отличный басист, очень техничный. Но, увы, кроме пары риффов он ничего особенного не дал металлике. Говорю, как фанат, но не фанатик

[@ethanbarc]

Cliff Burton rest in peace 🪦 February 10 1962-September 27 1986 he tragically died in Sweden 🇸🇪 while on With Metallica he was their second Bassist from December of 1982 until his death in September of 1986 he was twenty four years old when he died.

[@Theamazingjay171]

Rip cliff🪦

[@xmancamp]

Arguably the best bassist of the 80,s

[@GoozeEggz]

​@Rottenjuice-nz8px very bold opinion, who do you thinks better?

[@liamgauthier3022]

The best metal bassist

[@gonadmigraines1984]

​@@GoozeEggzEllefson, Bello, DD Verni, Steve Harris, and that's only metal bass players

[@dand4139]

Cliff is THE bassist of all time

[@DrewskiTheBassist]

Cunning Stunts is the best Newsted performance

[@rkaya1651]

check seattle 89

[@ethanbarc]

Jason Newsted was a good replacement for Cliff Burton

[@aliniliescu7871]

They are all good bass players. Jason is still my favorite. I know, Cliff was the best one, but I always liked the melodic style of Jason.

[@thesnedd7219]

You know its gonna be a good time when BWAAUUGGHHH!

[@ethanbarc]

Robert Trujillo became the bands new bassist In 2003 and recorded st anger after replacing Bob rock and Robert Trujillo went on to record and Release three albums with Metallica Death Magnetic in 2008 and Hardwired To Self Destruct in 2016 and more Recently 72 seasons in 2023 which was last year

[@lalolanda3996]

Trujillo never recorded on st anger

[@ZzubYah]

Im pretty sure Bob rock played bass on st anger

[@ethanbarc]

Rob Rock than Robert

[@nuupez6648]

11:25 i love that tone!! bro is beating the shit out of those strings

[@reyza9878]

The truth is that as a bassist I really like Cliff's, solos but I like Jason's more since they fulfill their function and sound like a bass solo, while Cliff's sound more like a guitar solo.

[@stefania_zzZ]

Видит бог, я люблю их всех. Роб отличный басист и классный парень. Джейсон... тут сказать нечего. Каждое его чёртово выступление говорит само за себя. Сущий дьявол. А вот Клифф... Он был настоящим гением, новатором, и просто потрясающим музыкантом. Мир музыки потерял очень много с его уходом. И мне бесконечно жаль, что мы так и не узнаем, что ещё он мог дать миру.

[@ethanbarc]

Ron Mcgoney was the original bassist in Metallica his first gig in the band was on March 14th of 1982 and his second performance in the band was on March 27 of 1982 and the first performance on the band on October 18 of 1982.Cliff Burtons first rehearsed in Metallica was on December 28 1982 and his first performance was on March 5th 1983.Jasons was on November 7 1986 and Bob rock played only three gigs as well and Robert’s first performance in the band was on March 27th 2003 21 years ago

[@tolgaercengiz301]

[@Ryu_Ake]

@@CooperLudke some hypnotize stuff

[@hypersf]

I didn't know that Jason can slap like that

[@Necro-s]

A couple of missing cliff solols that ought to be here London 1984 2nd Gig Anesthesia 1983

[@Stickman.1]

How many times can I put Robert’s 2004 solo on repeat 👌so juicy

[@josipsaric5803]

Cliff and jason had more distrostion than robert

[@_Only_Zuul]

Jason = best Metallica bass and tone..

[@ethanbarc]

I meant the Fifth Show

[@flame074]

Would cliff had made a good guitarist? I feel like he shreds really good in bass and would be good at guitar idk

[@Ryu_Ake]

He could write guitar riffs. He played guitar to write stuff

[@thisiskevin92795]

Poor Ron and Bob .

[@ali965]

Ngl, Robert had better solos than both Cliff & Jason. He’s a more versatile player imo
