paul_5 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 RIP Cliff. His playing was the first time I actually heard what a bass guitar could do. Prior to that it was all 'dum - da - dum' I was about 13 or 14 and a friend lent me his tape of 'Master of puppets'. Good times, sad loss.

skychaserhigh Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I remember seeing him live in 1985. When he did his solo it was the first time I had heard a bass like that at a live gig. He played with awesome power and attitude , very inspiring to me at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 25 years ago yesterday! I didn't realise. Thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 One of my "Things to do in life" is go and sit near his memorial stone playing Anesthesia or For Whom The Bell Tolls, as well as actually visit his memorial. Although he died 9 years before i was born, so i never got the chance to see him, he's still one of, if not my biggest influence, and the reason i started playing bass. R.I.P. Clifford Lee Burton.

dc2009 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 25 years, wow! What a bass player. Bought my first stompbox because it sounded like instant-Anesthesia! RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 so sad I didn't realise there were so many metallica fans on BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Gets a doff of my cap, albeit a day late... Cliff was one of the reasons I took up bass and later went off kilter exploring the work of Bach and others. Regardless of what people think about his playing, he was a hugely influential bassist and highly creative at a time when the vast majority of metal bass players were content to just chug along in the background. R.I.P. indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Master of Puppets was a phenomial album - had a listen today as away of saying RIP, still superb after all this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
