Metallica - Orion (Remixed and Remastered)

showed this to one my friends he asked „when does the singing start?“ first mistake last mistake

Lead: Cliff Burton Backing rhythm: James Hetfield Backing guitar: Kirk Hammett Backing drummer: Lars Ulrich

Orion was one of my mothers favorites, bless her soul. At the age of 85 and jamming to Metallica.

This bass line particularly the part starting at 4 minutes was the first thing I learned how to play. My Father heard me playing it and was awestruck. Then he asked "Did you write that"? Another Metallica fan was born. That was a long time ago...

"Bass can't be a lead instrument" Cliff Burton: Hold my weed

To me, there has never been a song that has captured the feeling, rather, the presence of space like this one. Particularly in the intro, with the booming, vibrating and astronomical sounding bass. It truly sounds like how space looks like. I’m not sure how they did it, but this song is space in music form. It’s so beautiful

I was ten when this song was released. Played it recently for my ten year old daughter. She loved it. Cliff, your influence continues beyond the grave.

Metal is just classical music played on electric instruments. This masterpiece is a classic example of this.

That bassline though. Cliff was the man.

I go to sleep listening to this... It calms me down 😴

Cliff Burton died at 24. Hard to believe someone could be such an accomplished musician at that age.

There will never be another bass player like Cliff . R.I.P 😢

Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky. It was named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant huntsman whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion.

As my Dad said: Metal isn't a music genre, Metal is a way of life.

Last night (December 30, 2019), around 9:00, I took my dog Nelson out. While waiting for him, I just happened to glance North, and there, in all its beauty, was the Hunter himself! What was amazing was that the constellation was tipped over so that the three stars in the belt were nearly vertical! I swear I found myself thinking about the song, and could almost hear Cliff’s magnificent bass lines resounding in my mind. It was a truly magical moment!! RIP Cliff Burton! I’m hoping to learn the bass sometime, and he is definitely one of my greatest inspirations!! 🤘🏻

What a masterpiece,the greatest song i ever heard in my life,

God was jamming this song while making the universe...

I love astronomy I love metal Thanks metallica

Remember those nights when you can’t sleep so you put on Metallica and you finally went to sleep and then you wake up on the st anger album

I see Orion as a sign of the band's maturity, a stepping stone from Call Of Ktulu, and a symbol of optimism. As though things can only get better. And then Cliff died. Then 1989 brought a more hopeless sounding album and their darkest instrumental. And the progression to hope dwindled.
