People don't realize how lucky the world is to have that footage.

The reason they left the “bass solo take one” in on the final mix of kill em all is because they thought that people wouldn’t believe somebody could play this solo in one take.

Cliff didn't die, god needed a new bass teacher.

[@ningen1980]

Cliff was the Eddie Van Halen of the bass. Absolute genius of sound.

[@MichaelD8393]

Fun fact: Cliff wrote Anesthesia when he was only 14.

[@kenmcnutt2]

Probably the most talented member of Metallica in its history. What a tragic loss.

[@moonchaoxs]

He was only 21 years old at that time...that's insane. The amount of talent for a such young guy.

[@rick_myg]

Holy shit, Cliff makes that look easy, I can say he is the best in his genre.

[@raffiwinters7950]

You can tell he was classically trained because the intro of the solo are alternating minor and major arpeggios. Pure genius
