inkman Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 For whom the bell tolls...his time was then
inkman Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Saw Metallica live twice, the "...And Justice for All" tour.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Effing A. Next to probably opnly Les Claypool, the greatest bass player of the past 3 decades.

While I'm no Metallica fan, I do know that Cliff Burton was an outstanding bassist. But, to say he was better than Jaco Pastorious is just wrong. KRC said: BTW, how was your trip? 788286[/snapback] We missed ya, that's for sure. The trip was fine, other than the long ride home after a tough loss.

There are also plenty of other bassists who are better then Burton. He was good. I just think that people are making him out to be better than he is, just because he died.

I've been listening to his debut "Power Forward" lately. I just had the urge to hear it again. Good stuff.

R. Rich Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 One and the same. He's a very good jazz bassist and has released a few nice albums.

Dr. Fong Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Just a bit of me trivia. I was at Cliff Burton's last U.S. performance. Can't believe it's been 20 years. RIP Cliff.
The Poojer Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 yeah he is an awesome jazz bassist X. Benedict said: The basketball player? 788327[/snapback]
