Metallica - Seek and Destroy - Backing Track - Bass and Drums only 

I can totally hear him on records :)

You must be deaf, because cliff is very loud on the record

@@Samford_ @Richard Tomáš I stand by my comments. My comments weren't about the bass mix (of the Cliff records, Kill Em All has the most pronounced bass), but about how we still can't hear Cliff's syncopated finesse work in any case. Cliff is doing so much fancy stuff that gets buried in the mix.

@@Samford_ yeah you can definitely hear it, but you can’t sit back and actually enjoy the peace of music with all the other stuff going on, that’s why stuff like this helps us understand how and why he did things

***** He probably *can't* upload a Four Horsemen version of this. Most of these bass only/drums only etc. versions of songs around RU-vid are created by using the multi tracks from the Guitar Hero/Rock Band videogames. The Four Horsemen doesn't appear in these games.

***** Hi, i can try to create own version of Four Horseman, like here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-obD_Ew-Oj-s.html but also bass will be included.

Yep, you can tell by him being slightly late with the timing and random bullshit he throws into the riffs. Not in a bad way tho, that's what makes his tracks feel so natural.

@@ulasgursoy2838 why is he a little late

@@samvelasco9231 Most of the track is fine, there are minor timing issues here and there and that's probably because they didn't use a metronome when recording.

@@ulasgursoy2838 cool thanks

For using his fingers to play back in the 80s in metal was something u didnt see too many bass players doing at the time in this genre, I guess to keep up with the tempo and usually the open drone strumming on the low E open was prolly easier with pick...but I played bass with my fingers ,mainly learning cliffs bass riffs and playing along to my Metallica albums But I thought he had phenomenal timing, I wanna say that's one thing he was well know for was his timing and rhythm and his bass fills that almost seemed like he was playing lead guitar. I always thought he had amazing timing.

Welp it is.

Your answer is located in 1:46

This is early cliff, I guess

its the frankenbacker era

Cliff is slightly off but he does on purpose

Sam Velasco You think?

Cliff knew when to play behind the beat for a fatter feel... and when to be on top of the beat for a punchy feel.

Never too loud

metallica fan 06 correct

blasphemy

Go home Lars.

McGovney didn't write anything for Metallica

Actually yeah McGovney wrote some stuff for Metallica but almost none of it was kept since Cliff got in the band

Govney wasn't that good. Nothing against his playing, he was just the first and best bassist James knew.

Cliff can’t cover his own bassline like what?

You are Lars
