September 27, 1986
Doing anything special, Metallica wise?
I am playing a few concerts and "Cliff 'em All".
Edit:
Thanks Alan, it was unclear. Sorry guys and gals.

Load was released in June though. If Cliff lived, Load would have come earlier tbh  |

Probably instead of Metallica in 1991. He was huge into Thin Lizzy.

Now that the day is here, no more jokes This was posted on metfor. I love it. What a guy Ray is. I said on the other forum, he managed to make my tear up a little and smile at the same time. I can see why the band holds him close to their heart and lives Also could I be bold enough to suggest modifying the thread title to something a little more, um I dont even know what, sombre? serious? No offense to thread starter  |

Nice Kimbo, thanks.
I hope you don't mind jetpacksam
Agreed. Ray understands Cliffs place in fans memories and it is super awesome of him to share like this.
I have other reasons I'm not comfortable sharing right now, about why I have such respect for him.
He was the one who lost the most and yet he is the one that consoles / listens to others.

Yeah no disrespect to jetsampack at all.
Wow, I was having a hard time watching that clip, I didn't expect that at all. It really got to me

I have one of those HD music players, something silly like 3 times the but rate of CD, you can hear everything! I was listening to Kill Em All last night, and some of the bass licks that go unnoticed on an iPod or something... some really great shit.

I know its not Cliff but I just heard the bass on Moth properly for the first time today. Seems like Rob might be allowed the freedom and respect Cliff got from James and Lars when recording. I think it was Cana from old forum that showed me this pic of Cliff. Its been a favourite ever since.  (cant find the non-text version she had) Also heres a pic of him wearing the same shirt on stage. Awesome.  |

Yes now go listen to the remastered version, the bass is much more clear on that one |

Cliff would have been 54 this year... mad.
For me he was the Randy Rhoads of bass. I can't say enough good things about this guy. Legend. Sucks I was born a few years too late to see him live.

I won't go into how good the Black Album sounds.... I vividly remember listening to Am I Evil? in my car while parked up on top of the local shopping mall, in the very early 90s Admittedly I was there getting bent  but it was the first time I heard a section of Cliffs bass that I had not "heard" before. Very familiar with the song then hearing that little high bit was such a highlight, I love when that shit happens. And it was probably all due to that stereo as opposed to the one in my lounge. |

No.. the last time i had "quality weed" my head caught on fire and when i turned the bathroom taps on to douse myself, lava came out of the taps... I guess that was "quality weed" alright... |

30 years! What the hell, time flies. I remember being a 14 year old little head banger, getting really high and watching Cliff em All and "Hearing" bass for the first time. Before that, I never heard it. But ah, when I did, OMG, my brain just locked on to Cliff and that was it, in an instant, I understood the greatness.
Cliff was just so awesome, and only 24. Even today, he seems like a guy in his mid 30s. Wise beyond his years was he.
