    @@DonLee-pv2kq when they were writing MOP, Kirk's solo thats ends with Cliffs solo was originally written by Kirk or Cliff (i cant remember the full story currently), Cliff tried to convince them that he should play it all on bass and they settled on splitting it, Kirk playing the first half and Cliff ending it. Ill try to find that story again quick, but i think he was going over the top with layers of different bass lines that would have been impossible to play live so they had to reel him back in

This was one of the most interesting, amazingly beautiful, creative and brilliant things I have ever heard. You my friend have just earned the first comment I have made on a KZread video in years. Well done. You are a genius, without question one of the most fascinating musicians I have ever seen play. Thank you for that!! Wow.. Holy shit! I am going to watch that a few more times.

    Cliff's songwriting and musical theory knowledge were such an underrated part of what made that era of Metallica truly legendary. His songwriting worked in so much classical influence that James and Lars just don't have. I love the consciously progressive spng structures and pute aggression of Justice, but when Cliff died an extremely significant piece of wbat made Metallica special went with him. His skill on his instrument speaks for itself, but Jason and Rob are exceptional players in their own right. His songwriting was what truly elevated the band.

    I was 15 when Master was released, Metallica was already my favorite band, and Orion quickly became my favorite song. I played it for my dad one day, telling him it was my favorite song, and he was shocked that it had no lyrics/vocals. I'm not going to say he liked it, but he stayed in the room until the end of the song. I'll always remember that, weird how those little things stick with you over the years. Amazing performance, I think you honor the memory of Cliff with this piece. Thanks for sharing your talent.

That solo is already regarded as practically impossible on guitar, so the fact that they’re playing it on bass guitar, which has much higher string tension and requires a higher action than a guitar and thus is harder to shred and tap on, is just astonishing.

    The way it builds up to the playful melody, followed by notes of bittersweet sorrow, he truly was a master of his craft. We've been robbed of his skills and passion for decades. Come to think of it, the simplicity of the first melody and the subsequent parts getting more complicated and nuanced feels like a lyrical metaphor for growing up and life.

I absolutely loved "Orion" prior to that moment, but ever since then it changed me and how I perceived it. Cliff was incredible, and his musicianship was legendary. Thank you, Charles, for this terrific arrangement. Well done.

    You know. When I first heard Orion, it didn't take me much to decide that, if there's a song to be played, this is the song that's gonna be played at my funeral. That was 4 years ago, back in summer 2016. I haven't changed my choice ever since. It also marked the start of my interest in bass. I looked up Cliff's clean bass track (without the other instruments), and have listened to it more times than I can rememeber. I also learned that Cliff originally played the piano and that this also influenced his playing style. As someone who also plays the piano, I found this wonderful. And I started loving bass, realising that a whole world was opening up before me. I started actively looking for basslines in music and realised just how much of an impact a good bass line can have on the piece of music. I started getting better audio equipment and now I just couldn't imagine to enjoy music without solid bass (at least where it's expected). While I may not start playing bass myself, I certainly have started to feel a desire to pick it up. It's just, that I have just enough time for one instrument, and I do love playing piano with all my heart, but thanks to Cliff, seeing how playing piano can affect how you play bass, I want to believe that I at least have bass in my heart. All of these emotions welled up within me after hearing your solo bass cover. It's a wonderful arrangement for possibly one of my favourite pieces of music of all time and wonderfully captured the spirit that I love so much about this piece. Thank you so much for this.

Please keep exploring Metallica music and when you get to And Justice For All (my favourite album) listen to the original recordings before the "and justice for Jason" /enhanced bass versions. Keep putting your emotions into your playing, piano is a fantastic instrument when you throw an emotional human at one.
