Metallica
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Cliff Burton
Cliff 'Em All version

he plays the majority of the song the same after doing a bass solo to start the segment off (and there is no way i can tab that). his little lead bass intro is changed a couple times and sounds wicked cool if u can match his speed.
