@dsegui85 : ROFLROFLROFL R O F L !!!!!!!11111 surely you're question is a joke?
MÁSTER OF INSTRAMENTAL S :-)!!!!!!!!D 3 3 & M E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Why does it say instrumental is there a different version of this song?
Godsmack?? Really?
great jam. Love it. Hammett rules.
Orion f-----g rocks!!!
I'm flying to Orion's belt!
Good nite music... Zzzzzzz
This song is EVERY reason I got into Metallica... s t r a i g h t story telling music...beau t i f u l
Not quite as good as the S&M version of Ktulu, but Orion is amazing, especially for some of their earlier work.
Love this song:) rock on men
Along with fade to black my two favorite metallica songs Orion and ftb !!
F**k yeah! The best Metallica instrumental ever!
This song is flat out amazing.
Look Metallica is and always be the best thrash band
Agreed!
the best instrumental ever
Cheesy? Once you pulled your fingers out of your butt, i know you made some devil horns!
Love godsmack but they cant hold hold a candle to metallica..l o l
No band in the last 20 years has even come close to changing the musical landscape like metallica achievef in 80s and90s date i call them a reimcarnatio n of zeppelin
Orion is miles better than anything Godsmack has ever made. This song is timeless.
samples suck
Great instrumental . . . almost as good as Godsmack's The Oracle.
The existential aloneness

Holy crap this riff is mind blowing. It makes me want to break something but also dance naked while headbanging all simultaneous l y
,,this track is so good; it's speachless!
This has got to be one of the most excellent written tune ever! doesn't get over played on any radio stations, great for long distance highway driving...an y t h i n g . . . C R A N K IT UP!
Superb.
Utterly amazing.
Simply awesome.
This, call of Ktulu, To live is to die, or Pulling teeth? Hmm, all so awesome!
I know this has been said, but Cliff ain't dead... God needed bass lessons
RIP CLIFF
BASS SOLO COMIN' UP!! GOTTA GO...
terrific
This is one of those songs that proves that Metallica is a legendary band, even with the s**t of St. Anger and Death Magnetic. Also the Rodirigo y Gabbriella version of this song is pretty badass too. Check that s**t out.
f**king awesome...lo v e the bass in this song
kylebb7
hmm Orion or The Call of Ktulu from Ride the Lightning? both are awesome
this is one bad a** song.. i would love to learn to play it on guitar man!! :)
Metallica's best song for sure. One of my favorite songs as well. The bass solo is epic and the middle is absolutely memorable.

And how come they NEVER mention bass as a feature for songs that are centeralized around them on this site? You know like this one?

R.I.P. Cliff Burton.

I love the transfer
it's maybe difficult to follow first few times out?? with that said it is one of Metallica's more complex songs ever. Cliff Burton's Lead Bass dominates the song with many multiple bass over lays that have created what "Liquid" below calles "cheesy"..it ' s far from cheesy...wha t you think is 6 string guitar is actually 4 string bass. We had never heard anything like this in 1986 and still havn't today... This is a master peice! keep listening!
brent-tay
killer song!

It's awfully repetitive to be one of the best instrumental songs ever, don't you think? It basically riffs on 2 chords for the first 3 minutes, and then turns into a slow blues/rock ballad in the middle. It's a nice, melodic song with a cool solo at the end, sure - but the best Metallica song? Pssh. It doesn't even end... it does the cheesy volume fade thing to finish out.
Unbelievable .

ssswwwwwwwee e e e e e e e e e e e t t t t t t t t t ........
:)
this is one of my favorite metallica songs, its brilliantly written and I wish they had continued to make more songs like this.
Freakin' Amazing!
this is my FAVORITE Metallica song. Just incredible. Cliff was and will ever be the god.

Have they done anything like this since "Justice" ? I bought a copy of "The Black Album" when it came out, and promptly threw it out the window of my bug. Have they done any quality instrumental s since then ?
