legend has it dave mustaine wrote the lyrics

[stuffy_halford]

Metal is just classical music played on electric instruments. This masterpiece is a classic example of this.

[larsswig]

"Bass can't be a lead instrument"
Cliff Burton: Hold my weed

[Leadbest]

This bass line particularly the part starting at 4 minutes was the first thing I learned how to play. My Father heard me playing it and was awestruck. Then he asked "Did you write that"? Another Metallica fan was born. That was a long time ago...

Cliff Burton died at 24. Hard to believe someone could be such an accomplished musician at that age.

[RWXX]

Orion was one of my mothers favorites, bless her soul. At the age of 85 and jamming to Metallica.

I was ten when this song was released. Played it recently for my ten year old daughter. She loved it. Cliff, your influence continues beyond the grave.

As my Dad said: Metal isn't a music genre, Metal is a way of life.

[Fishfishfishfishfishfishfishfi]

To me, there has never been a song that has captured the feeling, rather, the presence of space like this one. Particularly in the intro, with the booming, vibrating and astronomical sounding bass. It truly sounds like how space looks like. I’m not sure how they did it, but this song is space in music form. It’s so beautiful

[baggy]

Remember those nights when you can’t sleep so you put on Metallica and you finally went to sleep and then you wake up on the st anger album

[jonprior]

Phones warns me "listening to stuff at a high volume may damage your hearing" 5 more clicks up on the volume, and then bliss.

[jarltrippin]

I see Orion as a sign of the band's maturity, a stepping stone from Call Of Ktulu, and a symbol of optimism. As though things can only get better.


And then Cliff died. Then 1989 brought a more hopeless sounding album and their darkest instrumental. And the progression to hope dwindled.

Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky. It was named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Orion was a giant huntsman whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion.

God was jamming this song while making the universe...

You don't remaster Orion, Orion remasters you.

I THINK THIS BAND SHOWS ALOT OF POTENTIAL👍🎸

My son Orion (Greek: Ωρίων)is named after this song. While my wife was pregnant we used to walk by the lake during covid times to avoid the city, looking at the constellation of Orion. We are both Metallica fans and 2.5 years since then, this is my son“s favourite sleeping song. All of his life so far he has been listening to this masterpiece before going to bed. As a matter of fact he is listening to this right now, as he is slowly falling asleep. I also got astronomy as a hobby. Who would have thought that a young bassist from earth would ever had such an influence to the universe.
