Cliff Burton was the man who made Metallica for what they were. He was responsible for helping, Metallica, get their shot at fame with his unique bass playing. Without Cliff, Metallica would have never gotten to where they are today.

Many Metallica fans only liked the stuff with Cliff Burton, but I can understand that. I loved the Cliff Burton, Metallica, myself. “Master of Puppets” was an amazing album. I think it’s my favorite Metallica album.

If Cliff was still alive, I’m sure there would have been no, “Load”, “Re/Load” and “St. Anger” ’cause Cliff wouldn’t want that. He would want to play the fast speed metal like he’s known for.

Yeah, like everyone else, I kind of miss the old Metallica even though I still respect them. RIP Cliff.
