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.

Cliff R.I.P.
no he didnt he was a puppet being told what to do and they just wanted some one that they thought had intesity and could play the set jason couldnt even compare to cliff musically
look at cliffs fingers thats a bassist and he was a piano player, he wasnt a guitarist, he distorted his bass to make everything heavier he always used effects
cliff has 10x more stage presence just watch an earlier concert
wtf!?! quit being so arrogant. Jason didnt know what he was doing on And Justice for All? He didnt what he was doing on the Black album? Dumb shit…

CLIFF IS THE GREATEST
that happen if you are already famous and you died tragic than all think you were the best and you get 200% more fans in a single day becouse it is reported all over the world. The same happend with Kurt Cobain.
I prefer Jason becouse he was so tough and creative even if he was always in the shadow of Cliff. Jason really lives 4 music.
finish your sentence man…jason was just like…..
if you cant justify your own opinion then why have one
lol he was better bassist but Jason was just like nvm your just a fucken stupid kid
Cliff Burton will always be the best!!
dont be a freaking genius man how are you going to compare the master of the bass Cliff Burton to a douche rookie like fucking newsted thats likes no fucking competition there man!! seriously next time think before you put crap like this up alright!and also what kinda of a bassist uses a pick?picks are for guitars!basically what im trying to say is newsted sucks cliff all the fucking way
Cliff was a lot better than jason. i dont know whose better in solos because i cant feel the bass solos as the guitar ones. but compearing with the comsotion cliff cant be compared with jason. i cuoldnt heard the bass with cliff, but i think thats also a problem of james to dont allow him to compose. cliffs solos in orion are incredible.
cliff for me.
