It´s too sad knowing that Cliff didn´t live enough to see how gigantic Metallica became through the following years until today, and always remembering him as part of band´s sucess and history.

[@subg8858]

Yeah but Metallica was at the top of the heap of the “underground”music scene by this point. Anyone into any kind of subversive music styles had mad respect for metallica around ‘85 even if they weren’t as big in mainstream as they later become

I saw Metallica as a teen during the Master of Puppets tour in Toronto on December 9 of 1986. Still have the tour shirt from that show. Cliff had passed in September of that year. Never did get to see him perform live with the band unfortunately. I remember being in shock when I heard the news. Although the rescheduled show with Jason was amazing, I really wish I got to see them with Cliff playing bass. RIP Mr. Burton. You are dearly missed.

Jason is often credited as the bassist with the most stage presence, but damn Cliff had an energy about him on stage that no one else had or has. Looked like he was having the time of his life on stage.

Cliff definitely had better stage presence and passion than Jason, and I like his style of playing and how his fingers danced across those strings..the original four horsemen.

One fun thing about it nobody now actually knows what the heck Cliff actually played Because He was so skilled really he would vary it all the time. People today even f they try to play whats on the records they more often than not mess it up or miss half of it. all i have to say about him is when ever you can watch something like this, Just sit back chill and enjoy it for what it really is.

Unfortunately a lot of it is marred by James’ guitar being out of tune. He definitely is on this song, and it’s horribly obvious on “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. That one is truly depressing because it ruins an otherwise legendary performance by Cliff Burton.
