25 years….R.I.P. Cliff Burton

 

It’s been twenty five years since we lost Cliff Burton. Granted I wasn’t alive back then and I didn’t know who Metallica was till many years later, I know who Cliff Burton was. Before Cliff I thought that the bass was just a buffer for the drums to make them sound better(granted I knew NOTHING about music back then at age 12) but after seeing Cliff my mind was blown. The bass lead in “For Whom the Bell Tolls” absolutely blew my mind. His work in “Orion”, hell the entire “Master of Puppets” album. God took Cliff Burton away from us at the age of twenty-four, twenty-five years ago today. I’m not going to talk about Metallica here, this is all Cliff, all day.

 

Please, post your thoughts and opinions on Cliff and let’s remember him today.

About Matthew Kuritz

Born in 1989 in a small town in South Carolina, Matthew was raised on metal. His father, a huge KISS and other classic rock/metal fan and his brother wh owas raised during he hay-day of Hair Metal and Grunge, Matthew was made to do this. I digest any and all music that comes my way; not just metal. Metal for me strikes the rebellious, angry, and energizing nerve that no other music can. Metal has the most talent, most feeling, and most power than any kind of music. I am always up for discussing anything and everything involving metal and other music.
