  • Written by James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich/Cliff Burton Transcribed by Stuart Clayton Performance Notes
    orion Written by James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich/Cliff Burton Transcribed by Stuart Clayton performance notes ‘Orion’, the classic Metallica track that features bassist Cliff Burton in a lead role, was an obvious choice for this month’s transcription. To this day - nearly thirty years after it was recorded - it’s a track that is studied and dissected by metal-loving bass players all over the world. The recent release of the isolated bass part from this and other Metallica songs has given us all the chance to hear Cliff Burton’s original parts without the distractions of the other instruments, and in many cases this has proved to be a revelation: what were previously thought to be synth parts or guitar solos in fact turned out to be Cliff, using effects and guitar-like techniques such as upper-register soloing and tapping to take the bass player’s role to new heights. ‘Orion’ opens with a series of sustained bass chords from Cliff. These are heavily effected with distortion, and each needs to be allowed to ring fully throughout the bar - try to avoid large gaps as you switch between the chords - the transitions need to be fluid. At letter A Cliff begins playing a simple eighth note groove based on octaves and chord tones. This four bar line is played three times, then begins to develop, with extra sixteenth notes added to the rhythm. This section leads into letter B, a distorted lead bass section in which Cliff plays an upper egisterr line that sets up the heavy riff that arrives at letter C.

  • Jaco Three Views of His Secrets
    26 bassplayer.com /january2016 Jaco Three Views of his secreTs By e.e. Bradman About hAlf An hour into the new documentary Jaco, there’s a scene that reflects a cru- cial aspect of the Jaco Pastorius legend. It’s the fall of 1975, and Blood, Sweat & Tears drummer Bobby Colomby has flown a virtually unknown Jaco from Ft. Lauderdale to New York to record his debut with jazz luminaries Hubert Laws, Herbie Hancock, Don Alias, Wayne Shorter, and Lenny White. The product of those sessions, the soulful, eclectic stunner simply titled Jaco Pastorius, would shake the bass world to its foundations, of course, but the album cover—with its bold lettering across a no-nonsense black & white portrait by Don Hunstein—might suggest that the unsmiling young maestro was overly serious about making a good first impression. That wasn’t true at all. “It was wild,” says Return To Forever drummer Lenny White of the sessions in October 1975. “Basically, we would play, do a take, and go outside and play basketball.” “We could have done it on bicycles with microphones, and he would have played it perfectly,” remembers producer Colomby, still impressed four decades later. Far from nervous, in fact, 23-year-old Jaco was natural, relaxed, and in his element. “I walked into the studio, and Jaco’s eyes were lit up because he had found home—this was the level he belonged on,” recalls trombonist/musical direc- tor Peter Graves. These quintessential Pastorius hallmarks—soul- ful virtuosity, athletic showmanship, and superhu- man technique, with confidence to burn—are central bassplayer.com / january2016 27 CS JACO JEFF YEAGER Robert Trujillo themes of Jaco.

The concerts were historic on multiple levels, serving as the grand opening of San Francisco’s Chase Center, reuniting the band and Symphony for the first time since the 1999 performances captured on the Grammy-winning S&M album, and featuring the first-ever symphonic renditions of songs written and released since those original S&M shows. “S&M2 offers an inspired and eye-opening view into not just the shared heritage of classical music and heavy metal, but into the spirit of innovation and to endless vistas awaiting exploration.” - Louder “And it’s also of little surprise, especially for anyone who attended those increasingly legendary shows at Chase last year, that this new album is another major winner. What a great memento of such a monumental night in Bay Area live music history.” - The Mercury News “This collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony brings to life the fusion of heavy metal and classical music. As it was in 1999, S&M2 is a grand celebration of the energy and magic that these forms of music convey.” – Metal Wani S&M2 is a landmark release in the Metallica catalogue, both sonically and visually.

  • Master of Puppets”—Metallica (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Daniel Bukszpan (Guest Post)*
    “Master of Puppets”—Metallica (1986) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Daniel Bukszpan (guest post)* Album cover Album label Metallica “Master of Puppets” is the third full-length album from San Francisco’s Metallica. It was released in 1986, and it’s hard to overstate the significance that it had upon its release, as well as its continued relevance today. Formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, Metallica is one of the most popular bands in the world. Its self-titled 1991 album was certified platinum 16 times over by the Recording Industry Association of America, and the band has sold overall 125 million albums. However, before any of that happened, Metallica was about as underground as it got, and the idea of them achieving their current commercial status was once inconceivable. “Master of Puppets” changed all that and, at the same time, broke the thrash metal movement wide open for mainstream acceptance. Metallica stood at the forefront of the 1980s thrash metal scene, a commercially unpalatable genre that alienated most mainstream listeners, many of whom didn’t even recognize it as music. The songs were too complex, the tempos were too fast and the guitars were too bludgeoning. From the first listen, you were either on board or you weren’t. The band’s two previous albums were influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), personified by bands like Motorhead, which stressed fast tempos and unpolished production. Metallica took that sound on the road and built their following through relentless touring, finally gaining enough notice to be signed to a major label, Elektra Records.
