  • Cliff Burton was one of the best bass players ever. He was a big part of Metallica. He taught James about harmonies. He went to college for music. He practiced 8 hours a day. He could play bass with his fingers faster than most on an electric guitar. His death was a tragic one, which greatly effected James, Kirk, and Lars. His life was too short, like an unfinished song. Rest in peace.

    Cliff was ranked Officially as #4 best Bassists of all time.

    #1 Steve Harris
    Cliff was 23 when he died, I guarantee he'd be ranked #1 today if he was still alive.

    Sounds cool, wish it's really played by Cliff or Jason... But I doubt it. Cliff recorded his demos on a plain tape recorder, and this sounds too digital and clean for me (at least bass). This tune sounds even cleaner than Cliff's bass on Master of Puppets album. Where it came from? 30 years of nothing, and here it is... But now all we can do is imagining that that's really played with Burton's fingers... R.I.P. Cliff Burton! \m/

    34 years ago, we lost this magnificent bass player at such a high point in Metallica's career. Cliff continues to live through his music which brought Metallica to higher levels of fame, eventually bringing them to the mainstream level of the music industry. He did so much and he gave his gift to the world. I don't care if this this demo was by him or not, but all we know is that this song was to be his send off. A tribute to one of the legendary bassists in metal and even music history. He isn't dead, because he lives within the sounds of his man made bass lines from the band's early days. He lives on with Metallica and he will never be forgotten for as long as we keep him close and memorable to us. He is, was, and always will be the best in the world at what he did. Rest well, Clifford.

      "To Live Is To Die"
      When a man lies he murders some part of the world
      These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
      All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
      Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
      When I was younger I loved this song. I still do... But it has taken on so much more meaning in my life. The under tones of the ramifications of lying to yourself and denying the world of who one can truly be if they are true to themselves. I look beyond this world now. I look at where I will be if I'm not honest with the Lord. I knew about salvation but I didn't know about salvation. To live we have to die in the flesh. And be reborn in the spirit. It's amazing how we go through life not realizing the Words were always around us. When the veil is lifted... It's that "wow!" moment. The footprints in the sand moment when you realize the Lord never left you... He carried you through the hard times when you thought you wouldn't make it.
      Thank You Lord for never forsaking me... I am truly ready for the kingdom of salvation to take me home now....

    "When a man lies, he murders a part of the world" Metallica lyrics, written by Cliff, based on the best Arthurian legend movie ever "Excalibur" as spoken in that movie by Merlin the Magician, both stemming from the hymn and poet writer Gerhardt: “When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths men miscall their lives.”
    ―Paul Gerhardt
    Cliff was in tune, on more levels than one, beautiful and respectful of beauty, tragic and respectful of the beauty of tragedy. One of the best, and I don't just mean on the bass. But he sure as shit was a mean motherfucker on a 4-string without a doubt. Thank you Cliff!

It made Megadeth one of the best Metal bands, taking all that away and just having him play lead for Metallica would be far worse imo.
