Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls [Cliff 'Em All] HIP HOP HEAD REACTS TO METAL!! 

Alex Hefner you said you couldn't rock the Jew fro but I think you need to grow the Jew fro

Alex Hefner next you should listen to The Call of Ktulu or The Day that Never Comes, both amazing songs

too bad I voted for enter sandman but make sure to react to it as well :)

In next The four horseman Metallica Versus Mechanix Megadeth Same song lirics in twoo diferents powers

Please react to "Fade to Black", "Welcome Home(Sanitarium), "Fight Fire with Fire", "Seek & Destroy" and "Battery(live in seattle 89)".

NFGS0UL if you spoke to Cliff, when he opened his mouth you would only hear the best distorted bass.

The guy with the red hat this comment can have so many meanings.

NFGS0UL You stole this comment

Lars Schothorst It’s kind of an ongoing joke...

Can’t like this, has 666 likes

* Like it was 4 strings lead guitar

James and Lars' first words upon hearing Cliff play for the first time "Holy fuck dude, that's a BASS"

@@maxhowlett9661 I love how they mentioned that they thought it was a guitar at first and were curious about the effect he was using only to realize it's a bass once they counted the strings :D

Bass is supposed to be rhythm. Not lead. It’s why I like Steve Harris and David Ellfeson better. Cliff is more talented, but the other two mentioned played the instruments the way they are supposed to be played.

@@TheTriggeredDuckguitarist there is no supposed way to play an instrument.

so true

Sad part, he never even hit his prime.

What Metallica could have been Cliff .... who knows😔😕☹🙁😞

Pre cliffs death Metallica is just too good but I feel like they lost more than cliff when he died they lost a good chunk of what defined there music

I agree. I say the same thing about Bon Scott of AC DC.

Jonathan Gish yea that’s awesome how he didn’t pause as bands do nowadays and just kept the rhythm going

Good eye. I've watched this video about 15 times and I never noticed that

5.07 it is :)

@@AlpInceiplik Wait until you notice the first time he grabs a new pick in the middle of a riff without a hitch...

NOT MANY PEOPLE NOTICE THAT.

From what I understand, he actually would use strings from more than one set of strings, so he'd get a thicker set for the top two strings and a thinner set for the bottom two to make it easier to bend them. I'm not sure if that's 100% true but I think I remember hearing it somewhere. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

@@Raptus_Gaming he had rotosound strings that were extra thin all the way through, 35, 55, 75 and 90 which is extremely thin for bass

@@Watto22 I've tried out that same set, I actually really loved it unless I had to downtune for whatever reason

Cool pfp, the IT crowd am I right?

wasnt the last concert in sweden?

@@sumsaras you`re right. In Stockholm. Ref. Wikipedia.

Liam Jorgensen Cliff Burton is good dude but he's no Les Claypool or for that matter God himself Lemmy kilmister

... you forgot lemmy killmaster

Liam Jorgensen where does flea from RHCP fit in?

Alex Hefner aw mate... definitely top ten. Dude goes mental

Liam Jorgensen so much truth!

David Webb, agreed. The first song I ever heard from metallica was battery, I was hooked from the first note, once it turned heavy and fast I was in awe and have been a metal head ever since. I would love to have that feeling again.

I still remember that first bell toll...everything suddenly got heavier and much, much more violent

David Webb idk why but all those songs didnt hit me the way they should have the first time

My first metallica song was enter sandman, my dad had it on the hard drive our family computer and I found it when I was about 9 and fell in love

Magic Steve actually, although at that stage in their career he played an Explorer it was not a signature model. His more famous guitar is in fact his ESP ‘Snakebite’ which is similar to an explorer but made in South Korea.

This is actually a Gibson. His signature is and ESP “snakebite”

That’s not gibson explorer. Esp mx250

Muhammad Irsyazman sorry bud, that is an explorer - he used two, one he called ‘So What’ and one he called ‘More Beer’, the head stock is a dead giveaway. He switched to ESP because they offered him an endorsement deal and he felt Gibson was taking him for granted. If you don’t believe that I’ll offer up that I own both a snakebite and an explorer and know them both well but That said, here’s an excerpt from ‘Gear Guide’: “1984 Gibson Explorer “So What” “Hetfield So What Gibson Explorer After the neck snapped on his Electra Flying V in 1984, James started using couple of different guitars. What soon came to be his main one was a white 1984 Gibson Explorer decorated with a sticker on it reading “So What”. This guitar was originally equipped with Gibson Dirty Fingers pickups (496R/500T ), but sometime in the late 80s - presumably around 1987 when Kirk Hammett switched to EMGs as well - James took the pickups out and replaced them with the EMG 81/60 set. Knowing that, and the fact that this was James’ favorite guitar at the time, the album Ride the Lightning (1984) was largely recorded using this particular guitar equipped with the stock Gibson pickups. EMGs didn’t come into play until the EP: Garage Days Re-revisited (1987) and …And Justice for All (1988). Just like his Electra Flying V, James restored his white Explorer and played it on “Death Magnetic” in 2008.”

I have one of his but it’s left handed

Roadstar1602 great song, of course

zombiemanjosh James, Kirk and deryk whibly are the reasons I started picking up guitar

*1985

Maybe instrumentally, but Hetfield became a better singer years later. He definitely sung it better, when I saw them at the Rose bowl in Pasadena, in 1990 or 1991.the reason they weren’t better instrumentally, was mainly no Cliff on bass, but also Hetfield was recovering from burns, so he had a backup guitarist for him.

I like the raw voice of Hetfield

anything from seattle 1989 is pure energy

The 89 gig is one of the BEST shows ever! It's just so EFFING badass!

we want it

Waldoz, I said the same thing a few videos ago.

Yes!!!!!!!

And the lyrics are amazing

Sean Hansberry ikr

Sean Hansberry the absolute best

That song. I play it and I melt. There's so much in melodies, harmonies, even the solos. It's amazing to play and hear.

The intro feels so badass

BASS

SLAP LIKE NOW

Cliff was the first SLAPER so slap like now in this video.

I challenge Davie504 to play this

EPICC

FUCK YEAH!!🤘🤘🤘

Jon Noland To me it is the best song on the new album, and could easly stand beside any song on thier first four albums.

Yes fucking please

🤘 Spit out the Bone 🤘 Do it bro!!!!

If he listens to spit out the bone I subscribe. This guy is the best reactor to Metallica (+ Lost in Vegas)

KINTO yes

KINTO Yes!!!

KINTO yes yes yes

Preach that shit!! 😂 I thought I was the only one commenting it haha

Yes yes yes yes yes! Please react to this.

Fritos Bandito Aw man.. reminds me my first time getting into Metallica. That and Nothing else matters.

Sarkario remember the first Time I heard pulling teeth. I was like there is a bass Qatar?

For real though man, that's be sick, alex get on that

IFragAll gimme a hell yeah for SOAD

Or Hypnotize. So hypnotizing

Deathpenguin Zed seriously! They earned it. Unbelievable!!

They sold out unfortunately. So now they're the most un-metal band out there.

Deathpenguin Zed Im agree with u man!!

Kevin Ball anytime! I am having a BLAST jamming these songs

Alex Hefner your doing a great job bro! Your reactions are awesome, and I love how u explain the lyrics for all the people new to Metallica. Keep it up!!! Spit out the Bone next man, u need some new Metallica in the mix and the video is sick!

Trick question : Four Horseman or Mechanix ? :D (Just kidding, there's no wrong answer ^^)

EastBay MauiBoy what was it like to hear that intro live?

The guy with the red hat It was awesome. There was a ton of energy in that place. I was used to seeing the Raiders play there so it was a trip seeing a huge concert there. I remember the sound wasn't super great. The place is hella big so it was pretty echo-y.

Jonathan Young just from this video alone, I love the guy

There two mentions are all that you need

The songs mentioned before (Anesthesia and Orion) are his best work before his death. Definitely would recommend!

Orion...best instrumental ever!

Shit, not only anesthesia and orion, but check out a live version (with cliff) of call of ktulu. Incredible bass playing on that song.

Sean Dan . yeah. The four horsemen.

sean simpkin You got it brother. From possibly my favorite Metallica album, Kill 'Em All.

They have come to take your life

Evan Contreras LMFAO I KNOW RIGHT!!

he is going to be a lawyer....lol clean cute

THE masterpiece!!!!!

For real. If you like instrumentals, and you dig Metallica, you'll love this one.

That song is perfection, by far their best song.

I have told mi friends that when I die they better play Orion

This is my all time favorite fucking song ever ever. It's also one of my sons favorites, he actually learned to play it for me.

Dani __ yes I love that song easily one of my favourite songs from Metallica

Cliff 'em all for a real tribute video :D

lol

The song is based on a novel by Ernest Hemingway (For Whom The Bell Tolls, 1940). I read it few years ago when I found a copy in my parent's summer cabin. Really good book and even better when in the back of your mind you are hearing this song.

Di que sí, paisano. Mi abuelo estuvo en esa maldita guerra, y peleó en la ofensiva de Segovia, que es un poco el trasfondo de la novela. Siempre he presumido de que Metallica le dedicó una canción, encima mi favorita. 🤘

100% agree. And if he doesn't react to them, he needs to listen to them.

Fade, Nothing Else and Unforgiven are like perfection

Fade to black seems to be the perfect song for this guy. A mixture of important lyrics and awesome instrumentals seems to be what he likes. That should be next hands down.

Harvester of sorrow 👌

Majo Manson 💥 Third favorite Sabbath song of all time. Its fire for sure. The first two I like best are War Pigs and Iron Man respectively. The Wizzard after this one. Its awesome

THIS!!!

One of their absolute finest, with arguably their best solos

He watched the Pantera - Domination video from that show. Check it out.

Ive heard it has over a million

Thanks. Watched only metallica reactions yet

Wikipedia says from 600 000 to 1 600 000

Metallica creeping death moscow 91

Orion is awsome

Hefner's eyes going wide with solos. His eyes will be hella wide throughout the entire Orion!!

THIS ^

Hey Alex!!! Orion is going to blow your mind. Warning...it is an instrumental. If you are good at visualizing things...go for this. Close your eyes. Picture a nice muscle car driving in the night on a lonely road when the first notes start. I usually picture something like a classic Barracuda, Road Runner or Charger on the road at night, some rain coming down and it's dark...little moon light. You might want to wear goggles...your eyeballs are going to pop out.

Orion is completely a very insanely awesome experience, when I first listened to it, it immediately became my favorite song in the whole album.

connor stanker yeah it’s a little embarrassing but I thought filming my reactions would be a great idea

Alex Hefner stepping outside ur comfort zone is respectable bro. You got a new sub today

AIC is the shit! love them

I second this

i third this

People who don't listen to rock can miss how much it is influenced by classical composers. Many of the great artists were classically trianed and bring that training into their works. One of the reasons albums like S and M and the Use Your Illussion albums from GnR, to name a couple, could use orchestrated music successfully. Also why many rock fans can also enjoy classical. There is also the who sub genre of symphonic metal with bands like Nightwish and Therion blending them.

Cliff was for sure. Lars could hardly even play when he started the band or so James says.

Liam Jorgensen that is very interesting! I’ll give it some thought. Hit me in the DMs if you have concrete ideas 👍🏼

Alex Hefner too easy man, I'll hit you up and bounce some ideas around

YESSS

Facundo Gotmand Agreed! This sounds like camel doo doo and the tempo is WAAAAY off!!

or Seattle 89 version. Seattle > Studio

Facundo Gotmand nah studio is boring Live version better especially this one with that insane intro

But the recording is bad. I think the Seattle performance is the only good live version.

Facundo Gotmand I think this liveversion is best because Cliffs way of playing this intro is just amazing.

lalalalalalaal 😂😂

Dystopia - all ac dc songs live at riverplate

bozz lp Yes, theyre all good :)

Are you making a fantasy Monsters of Rock Lineup and their setlist? And when it comes to Fear of the Dark I think that the best version is Rock In Rio when it sounds like all of Brazil is singing w/ them.

What about wherever i may roam and atlas rise i love those two

Inferno Games They are good too, just cant fit everything into 1 comment :)

thesynergy2 and harvester of sorrow

Maybe i can add To live is to die to your suggestion

Disposable heros

Sanitarium

Thanks for letting us know which band wrote each song. I don’t think it would have been clear without that

Oops, i glanced right over this

Happens to me, often

Such a dope ass guitar

Indeed, it is!

Flying V is also a sick model :)

FreedumFries ehhh...no.

nope almighty Tom is

Sligfantry your opinion

if you're talking about Tom from Slayer I'll agree w/ you on that.

yes i mean him

Nikolay Jovanovic It is, time for the symphony of destruc-tiooon!

Slayer- Rein in blood!!

Nikolay Jovanovic hell yea i love Megadeth

And pantera

Holy Wars...

Thank you, cause I do🤘🤘

Rising Storm me too bro i’m happy for u

I've picked up Bass four weeks ago, wish me luck🤘

Kalven Bonin is*

Exactly im telling him in almost every comment that To Live Is To Die is a must !!!

Joshdabomb 777 what Hetfield is using isn’t a Gibson, it’s a ESP.

Het started using ESP during ...And Justice For All. These early days he was indeed using Gibsons.

Alex Noftz actually he still uses ESP it's a custom ESP Iron Cross which is shaped like a Gibson

You can even see the Gibson logo close up at 3:30

Wrath Child it's an ESP Snakebyte, look it up

The day before they dyed their hairs?

BEST SONG EVERRTTR

Yeah, that's the turbo-song indeed!

I was listening to Dyers Eve today. My 8 year old daughter freaking out in the back seat of the car at the speed of the solos!! Get on it!!
