BASS BATTLE!!Cliff Burton vs. Jason Newsted
Cliff Burton versus Jason Newsted
Hey there guys..i made a video comparing the bass solos of the 2 former bassist of Metallica, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. Cliff uses his fingers to play bass. As far as i know he hasn’t used a pick. While Jason Newsted uses a pick to play. Both of them is good. But who’s better?just leave a comment..
Cliff bass solo happened the night before he died. R.I.P
Clifford Lee Burton (February 10, 1962 — September 27, 1986) was a bass guitarist, best known for his work with the heavy metal band Metallica from 1982-86.
Burton’s early influence was essential in creating the unique musical style for which Metallica would later become famous. An angry, working-class sound, characterized by rhythm guitar riffs, energic lead guitar and fast driving drums, the band would be seen as innovators of heavy metal music through much of the late 80s and early 90s.
Jason Curtis Newsted (born March 4, 1963, Battle Creek, Michigan) is an American bass guitarist currently a member of Voivod and Rock Star Supernova, but is best known as a former member of the band Metallica from 1986-2001. He currently resides in Walnut Creek, California.

ummm dude, learn how to spell CLASSICAL. not that im defending a fagg who likes nirvana. im just saying your both retards for not how to spell simple fucking words. and ur fucking comments start off with “ummmm dude” lollololl.
i like both solos but cliffs iz more badass
cliff is and always will be better metallica was the best back then they should return to the trash metal and stop the hard rock
hahaha, you said ignerant.
uuummm dude people can like all kinds off music, nirvana is my favorite, metallica definetly is my second. damn people can be ignerante
Cliff is better hands down, but you gotta love Jason, Jason brought a great twist to metallicas music.
and why would think you know more about metal than i do?
last time i checked we never fucking talked.
Fail. Listen to some early Flotsam and Jetsam. He rules at bass.
or a shaved gorilla
and rob is a monkey
Cliff is better just gonna end it their
and guys please dont diss jason just cuz he uses a pick.
just cuz cliff used his fingers it doesnt matter what you use it matters about how much feeling you put into music and i think jason won that battle a long time ago!!
i think jason has more heart in his music but cliff is really good too but personally i pick jason just cuz his solos make me feel wierd and awsome!!
cliff is a god
jason is a normal guy
u cant compare them
well definetly…cliff was the best bass player metallica ever had and that is a fact..
he helped create some of their best songs.
and i was respoding to a comment that said jason was better for metallica
im not saying jason is better than cliff. im sure he did write stuff for metallica but they didnt use it because they hazed him. hes not around because he tried to catch his cabinet when it fell and he injured himself really bad. thats why he isnt around. jason is a really good player. cliff is even better.
jason has like 2 writing credits in his whole time with metallica, and plus where is jason noww???
he isnt that good of a bass player
there both great bass players.
cliff is the best bassist with his fingers
newstead is the best with a pick
u cant compare them
