It's not perfect, but I sat there in front of the camera maybe an hour to perfect it...
And sorry for the bad pull-offs:S
Here's some facts about this song:
"To Live Is to Die" is a song on Metallica's fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All.
It is a tribute to their former bassist Cliff Burton who was killed in a bus crash in 1986. Burton actually wrote the riffs for the song a few months before he died. The song contains a few lyrics near the end of the song, coming in at 7:35, that were written by Burton and are spoken by James Hetfield. Part of these lyrics are inspired by the 1981 film Excalibur and Stephen R. Donaldson's Lord Foul's Bane of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever fantasy series:
Referenced excerpt from Excalibur:
Arthur: Which is the greatest quality of knighthood?
Merlin: Truth. That's it. Yes. It must be truth, above all. When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
Referenced excerpt from Lord Foul's Bane:
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
for all the scents of green things growing,
each breath is but an exhalation of the grave.
Bodies jerk like puppet corpses,
and hell walks laughing.
This is the only track on the album in which Jason Newsted's bass guitar is actually audible during the middle part of the song, during the melodic rhythm riffs and guitar solos. The bass was thought to have been turned all the way down in the album.
This song is also notable for its second guitar solo, which is played by Hetfield instead of Kirk Hammett.
This is also the second-longest original studio song released on a Metallica album, at 9 minutes and 48 seconds. It is second only to The Outlaw Torn, from Load, which is only a second longer.
