With all this talk of Metallica...

This is for all you who were in diapers in '85....

You will never know just how ****ing cool Cliff Burton was.

I was lucky enough to have seen him live twice. i wonder what happened to all of those Aria Pro II signature models of his. I bet they're locked away in alot of people's closets.

[sosomething]

I wasn't in diapers in '85. I was four.

[ex-250]

I wasn't in diapers in '85. I was in the womb!!!

[YJM_Rocks]

Add one to the egg list.

Good Ol Cliff...The Major Rager on the Four-String Mo***rf***er.

I still remember where I was when I heard he died.

Depending on the half of 85 we're talking about, I could have been either sucking nipple for a living or inside a womb.

I wasn't quite born yet..... Video is from August 31st 1985.... I was born 6 days later. And my bro turned 5 on the 31st.

Ahh, if so then I was 3 months and 3 days old.

[Empty Pockets]

I was born in 1987, the year "Reign In Blood" came out, so Metallica will always be irrelevant to me.

It's too bad the 'bad-ass metal bassist' schtick died with Cliff tho. Seems like most metal bassists these days are afraid to even look at the crowd, much less play a solo to get them stoked.

Major fail. Reign In Blood was 1986. You were born into the world with Motley Crue's Girls Girls Girls....

Yeah, you ignorant fool, FAIL! n00b!

Cliff was a huge part of 'Tallica. His influence, or rather the lack of it in the latter days has changed the band a lot.
As for me, I was just an egg during this.

RIP is NOT the be all end all of any form of Music.

On their best day, Anthrax couldn't compete with Metallica. Love Anthrax but they just don't compare.

[bigheadood]

I was 10.
I still like metallica.

[grumptruck]

1982 here.

[Diego]

Agree with you H8Red. Both Among the Living and Rust in Peace are **** good albums... but just irrevelant compared to Master of Puppets and Metallica. Reign in Blood is the only truly iconic album that can match MOP in some way, and frankly it doesn't even scratch it IMO.

Master of Puppets is the Metal monument, in my opinion.

[Ayrton]

Anthrax and Slayer never did much for me. I can name a few tunes that I liked, but noting like what MOP did for me.
