AS BLACK AS BLACK METAL

BEST METALLICA INSTRUMENTALS

1. Orion (Master Of Puppets) : Rated 9 out of 10 . It was played at Cliff Burton's funeral after he passed away on September 27, 1986. Cliff Burton had played a large role in writing this song. Cliff Burton used his bass in such a way that there are 2 bass solos in this song that are commonly confused as guitar solos. The first begins at 1:42 and continues on until 2:13. The second is found much later in the song after the bass Interlude. It begins at 6:36 and continues until 6:55. The opening sounds were achieved by Cliff using a wah wah pedal on his bass. Kirk, James and Cliff all show the hight of their soloing skills. 2. To Live is to Die ( And Justice For All ) : Rated 9 out of 10 . This song is a tribute to Metallica's bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a tour bus crash. It is an instrumental except the spoken word piece near the end - a poem that Cliff wrote before he died.These are the pale deathswhich men miscall their lives:for all the scents of green things growing,
