Cliff Burton's bass overdubs in Call of Ktulu[views:3181][posts:30]________________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 1:44pm - brad weymouth ""] they are so perfectly bizarre. that guy was a fucking genius. i have a bootleg from May 1986 in Missouri that i think is from the soundboard. the bass is a little too loud which rules cuz he does some killer yet tasteful fills and greases things up nicely.

| _______________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 4:41pm - watchmaker666 ""] as far as I am concerned the whole band died with Cliff |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 4:57pm - starmummy ""] Think of how mythic this band would have been if they all died in that van wreck? 3 of the greatest metal albums of all time and that's it. Damn, kinda wish it happened. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 25,2008 5:01pm - aril ""] Didn't Cliff also teach thoery and melodic composition to the rest of the band? |
| __________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 5:06pm - powerkok ""] If Cliff were alive today, he'd be a homo, just like the rest of metallica is now. The only reason any of you hold him near and dear, is BECAUSE hes dead. We will never witness what faggorty even Cliff Burton, would have succumb to, in the multimedia corporation that is Metallica. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 25,2008 5:57pm - Seth ""] His talent was what kept metallica an thrash band and with his talent and influence gone, they veered away from what they were... To much sobriety!!! |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 8:32pm - RichHorror ""] He was a huge hippie. He definitely would've pussed out like the rest. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 25,2008 8:35pm - mortalis ""] mustaine's influence was way more important. |

| _______________________________ [Sep 28,2008 1:04am - Seth ""] exactly, until I got to hear is solo fully on the cliff'm All *VHS* I did not know how talented he was. Then after hearing all of that I was just amazed at how much the rest of the band was not that talented without his writing. Kirk, good butnot great, james rythm and lars... could play the drumes with his big mouth... I think Cliff would of changed but not to the point to let B. Rock controll and change the whole matter of what metalica was and to tame and radioize the thrash music. Thrash was not introduced to the mass, but nicely packaged and padded for all hard or rock and roll fans... Thus becoming the not so important metal band of the 90's :nuke: |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 28,2008 1:47am - neverpurified ""] mortalis said:mustaine's influence was way more important. Mustaine co-wrote a handful of songs on Kill 'em All, and wrote a few riffs that made it onto Ride The Lightning. Cliff was responsible for the evolution between Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning; as well as the evolution between Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Mustaine was great, but most of the songs he did with Metallica were when they were still a "basic thrash band." Cliff's impact was way more significant, without him, they would have had just another bass player that doubled the guitars exactly like every other thrash bassist of the time |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 28,2008 5:47am - Conservationist ""] Early Metallica was all Motorhead, Venom, Discharge and shitloads of NWOBHM sped up. They didn't come into being until halfway through RTL. Cliff was instrumental in getting them to think melodically and use more than basic power chords. I still cannot call Metallica a thrash band. Thrash is DRI. Metallica is archetypal speed metal. I still like RTL and KEA but can't listen to MOP. It's too self-satisfied. |

It's too self-satisfied. even though i love the album, i agree. i listen to that one a hell of a lot less than the others. i think Justice is an all around better album. |
