[Manloverated]

[dalebfast]

These dudes are stoned!!! Exactly!!!!

It aint candy!!!

[YepWeMakeVideos]

mehehe 777th like

[ozzzzy939]

is it just me, or does he sound as if he were high...? lol

[Bongwtertaffy]

Man that is awesome shit to know that Cliff was in Cortland man I pick trash there hahaha

[AlphaDog306]

damn he's beyond loaded in that interview

[NuTimeJazz]

When they asked him about infuences, I liked how someone said ''Yngwie'' and Cliff was like ''No, not Yngwie.''

[Theshiggityshwa]

He's so baked. LOL!

Cliff was fucking awesome!

[665AlmostEvil100]

lol, lead drunkard, with that band, that says a lot \m/

[aaronamccoy]

i could of seen cliff playin with skynyrd

[dogyslut07]

man i was born in 84.....metallica is only one of a couple of bands i listen to from that ere

[gamerofmanytrades]

r.i.p we loveya the akubeno

[klm607]

They are very drunk, & very stoned!!! Hahaha!!!

[RunToTheHillls]

lead drunker xD

[PaperComa]

Rest In Peace, Fallen Warrior.

[0ZAZU]

oh my god i love it when hes stoned

[METALLICAa7xOZZY]

this sounds like dave mustaine

[TheAlias789]

good beer in europe :D

[redsuxh8r]

The comment about Tauma going a commercial route and how bored he was with em. only proves that he wouldve not put up with the bullshit the metallica turned into back in 1991. RIP Cliff happy birthday sir you are truly missed

[mseals29]

@redsuxh8r Just because the black album was played on the radio more and in return caught the eye of more fans does in NO way mean commercial. Being a commercial band is putting out music that sounds like everything else that is out there. EVERY single Metallica record sounds NOTHING like what was out at the time of each records release. So I guess if you don't like something it means it is to commercial?

[csigamer90]

LOL lead drunkard...

[skaterobban]

Cliff and Mustaine were def the most talented out of Metallica. Lars was the little rich kid who barely could play drums. Hell even Cliff would be pissed off i think seeing what a shit of a band they turned into after cliffs death

[MRec1124]

"the exteremely heavy metal band metallica" i wish thats still how it is

[metallicagod007]

geddy lee cool

[vidzrus]

I've added almost 20 minutes of interview here:

youtube.com/watch?v=3ilFd10Vpp­c

[MetalMilita616]

Drink good beer. XD awwh.. god.. Cliff i miss you!! You died too young. I know many have said that before me.. and probably after this. BUT I MEAN IT. R.I.P Man.

[METALLICAa7xOZZY]

[Docteur666]

@elfelixg lead drunkard

[BeyondCocytus]

god he was so baked in this interview. lol. such a great person all around. rest in peace. \m/

[melgreynolds]

R.I.P CLIFF BURTON

[BeezleBoy]

The way the talk, their vibe, everything.. Typical teen 80's pot heads haha.

[BeezleBoy]

It made me laugh when the interviewer said, "The guitarist from Lynyrd Skynyrd was bad as shit!

[BeezleBoy]

LMFAO This is mad comedy.

[DisasterBlaster500]

Cliff seemed like such a mellow dude for a headbanger. The way he talks in this clip reminds me a little of Matthew McConoughey (did I spell that right?) in the movie Dazed and Confused.

[migpedroso]

Thank you vidzrus, This is excellent stuff

[ThatGuy1299]

@DDSvlogs O RLY?!

[blackened62]

R.I.P Brother! I Will See You In Heaven!

[DDSvlogs]

cliff died

[megaluisdeth]

Cliff didn't play like a guitar player! he played like a mad bass player get it straight!

[Eron2828]

Cliff is ossified, for sure.

[StigmaNYC]

Rochester, NY !!!

[DarkAngelChaotic]

RIP Cliff Burton without u Metallica would not have made it

[vidzrus]

I'll be re - editing this video including adding over ten minutes of new interview never posted anywhere...coming soon!

[DonCarleones]

@vidzrus

[mermes11]

"What's the future look like " LOL OH SHIT :(! made me frown D:

[33COOLMAN33]

Metallica - Phantom Lord Live with Cliff 1986

/watch?v=oFFGF_YHOzM

[CrunchDrunk]

everyone cliff is dead.. but it isnt the end of metal yet... to make joy we need suffering

[jamesabilly]

3:23-3:30 was painful to hear. Cliff was clearly referring to Trauma but it's ironic & sad to hear for a fan of Metallica from back in the 80's who had to witness in horror what transpired in the 90's & so on. This band once ruled an amazing underground music scene. Ride The Lightning was the 1st album I heard from them & I remember buying Master of Puppets, Garage Days Re-Revisited & Justice... the day they hit the record stores. Coolest time to be a metal head ever! Thank you Cliff Burton!

[MetalDG1]

they are out in the clouds, nice ride ! hahaha

[JMnDC4eva]

Cliff Is SOO DRUNK lol \m/

[giantegoist57]

Kind of sad how he talks about "the future"...

R.I.P one of the best bass players ever and certainly the best one Metallica ever had

[nitro41haga41]

R.I.P Windmill

[megadaveice]

they are so high...lol

[jodiekennon]

This was awesome! But that guy interviewing him was not prepared. He shoulda had way better questions. Cliff cracked me up with his stoner self lol!

[johnzdehetfield]

@jodiekennon the interviewer sound of sounded like james HAHAHA i thin it was james

[apm54]

Man i'd give all the stuff i have (almost all atleast) to see them in 86'

[bullettomy7thheart]

yea i agree, too bad im born in the fucking 90s, FUCK the 90s i wanna see these guys live when they were pure gold.

[bergAgreb]

Hail METAWCA

[jedgabriel]

btw my father saw metallica in 83 in wiskey gogo

[jedgabriel]

i would kill myself to see cliff but i dont want to go to hell :(

[MACHOpr777]

i wish he never died, Metallica wouldove been so much bttr! there still my fav tho

[MACHOpr777]

i wish he never died, Metallica wouldove been so much bttr! there still my fav tho

[ramsecoline]

Ready for Europe?

"Yeah, we've got tickets and everything man" Lol, Cliff burton was Metallica's best and still is...

[MMAshakedown]

CLIFF BURTON WAS METALLICA!!!

[MarshallVamp]

@MMAshakedown Sad but true man ;(

[fallkhild]

RIP Ciff Metallica was never the same after you. oh man they're talking about recording ride the lighting, pretty badass.

[enigmalinsanity]

hes stoned as fuck. hahaha cliff is awesome

[CrunchDrunk]

300.000 dollars in a year god! and they were just touring almost all the time.

[ssarush]

God rest his soul

[mattkotzyk]

fuck hes high

[philliesphan555]

Cliff was a boss. if Cliff and Dave were around in Metallica through the 80's and 90's they would have never gone sour. That's just my opinion, but with bandmates like Lars Ulrich anything can happen.

[carloz55]

DAAAAAAAAMN HE'S HIGH!!!!

[masterchiefownsuall]

lol so awsome

[Elpuas00]

Is there someone whispering to Cliff in the background???

[ley98]

Cliff is drunk or stoned or both. Is this before metallica got there gear stolen. If it was after it happened youd think cliff would of mentioned it

[ley98]

I wonder if this is before they had there equipment stolen. Youd think if this was after that happened cliff would of talked about it. This interview is amazing you can tell cliff was definetly a little drunk or stoned.

[AlcohollifuckincA]

fuckin sick ass interview

[NewageHitler]

He play like two guitarists and a bassist together !!!

R.I.P May you make God a headbanger :)

[CaptainEisenberg]

@NewageHitler hes playing with hendrix and dio and some good dead drummer

[HaRv3sT3RoFsOrRoW]

@CaptainEisenberg dont forget about dimebag. lol

[ratedchapin20]

@CaptainEisenberg Gar Samuelson ?

[albertmurga]

@CaptainEisenberg .........take your pick: John Bonham, Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell...

[NewageHitler]

He plays like 2 guitarists and a bassist together !!! R.I.P May you make God a headbanger :)

[dunce145]

haha yeah he's either amazingly wasted or amazingly high.

[BlooMunky24]

R.I.P Cliff!

[TheLayneMeyer]

Long live Cliff!

[adamb193]

He is so fucking high it's amazing.

[shane013088]

orion is a masterpiece

[glenmatlock94]

cliff is the best bassist and the most greatest guy ever to play with metallica. Cliff burton rocks my top list he's the most powerful bass player and song writter R.I.P. Cliff burton

[xINFORLIFEx]

R.I.P Cliff....sounds like hes drunk lol

[GuitarBipolar]

cliff wrecks, but i have to disagree with him being the "lead drunker" although its funny. Dave Mustaine was the lead drunker. Thats why they kicked him out

[brendanpr21]

Lead DRUNKARD, Cliff wasn't so dumb he couldn't use actual words..

[kodee2]

Ya I don't think this real because Cliff only smoked weed and hardly ever drank.

[jamymcj]

R.I.P CLIFF BURTON

[Nashtak]

Cliff was a great bassist but he was godly at writting music.

[jaiwook63]

They're both so totally high during this thing. Its great.

[liveingthoughtsfade]

this man was brutally good its sad hes dead

[carrotowns]

when are we recording that son of a bitch..

[neil12string]

started playing bass because cliff&others. solo bass is a love of mine some people git it some people do not. good thing about playing bass it can be heard a long long away to bother or please people either way.

[Siamese91Dream]

thats why i picked up bass. i saw cliff on the master of puppets album and i saw how he stood out and i went back to kill em all, which was my first cd and re listened to anesthesia and then watching for whom the bell tolls live with the solo in the beginning was epic

[kirk45hammett]

How are people getting all of these rare interviews? Good stuff.

Cliff was indeed an amazing bass player. Amazing isn't even a good enough word to describe him.

[TheMetalhead01]

there is no word to describe him he is a god i guess is what is the best word to describe him man.

[1xcrosswordx1]

March, you say...? i trust you... lol

[PokeyRailfan]

Ever notice how these metal guys are so laid back (high) but even the interviewer was like all down sounding haha

[HBK1337]

"lead drunker" haha

[pornius17]

Miss you Cliff.

R.I.P

Rock where you are now!!

We will never forget you!!!!!

[puppyald]

Gotta love Burton. Such a shame what happened, but what you did in only 10 years of playing bass was amazing. RIP and I hope you're rocking out and headbanging wherever you are!

[ley98]

I think cliff was a little fucked up there

[brangdel]

Metallica "The Young Metal Attack"

[BlakeTahoe]

black ice = death dude(and no its not frozen mud...most retarded shit ive ever read)...i live in lake tahoe and have to deal with that shit on forest mountain roads every winter and atleast 14 people die every season from loosing it then hitting tree's..its just invisible ice rink quality super slick thin ice from cars that keep driving a normal patch of ice over&over....i just believe james version of the no black ice just from the conviction when he says it....he isnt lyin

[korndogg524]

haha jimi hendrix...makes sense cuz he makes his bass sound like a guitar

[874122]

Cliff Is God!!

[megadeath728]

You would think mettalica would support not drinking and driving but they never really spoke out how bad it is.

[MetallicA4658]

about as bad as megadeth letting dave get outta hand and almost ruining his career :P

[MilanJ4]

James did somewhat by donating to a foundation for people who are struggling with alcoholism. I forget the name of it right off. But, thats about the only time I heard anything about them saying something.

[sorryboss101]

haha we going 2 europe and gonna drink good beer

R.I.P cliff burton

[megapretzel]

aw man that realy sucks when the dude asked whats the future look like, poor Cliff never saw it coming, none of us did.

R.I.P. Clifford Lee Burton.

[rockstar1060]

[GingerHardCore]

Stanley Clarke is FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!

His albums are awesome!

School Days is such a gooooood record.

R.I.P Cliff Burton

[Atoutlem0nde]

"They started to change, you know, like let's be commercial so everyone will like us."

[xXLordSairinXx]

Druuuuuuuunk :D. Love you Cliff!

[DDScameron]

i live in cleveland

[MYnAMeiSDaviDjoN]

metallica

[TheLegitSoulja]

metallica is a great band but lost some of there momentum by the loss of cliff and mustane. They are still good just not as good as they used to be.

[negtype13]

GEDDY LEE!!! \m/ \m/ \m/

[MattBodossian]

Hope the bullshit is over of whether this is Cliff are not. Maybe people are getting smart and now know this is Cliff.

[Pajosucks]

Fuck you black ice... and bus....

[IndianMetalhead]

"black ice" was just an excuse the driver used. they crashed because the driver was drunk.

[rigolith]

what is black ice??

[housti]

After 5 seconds of searching in google I found this:

Black ice, also known as "glare ice" or "clear ice," typically refers to a thin coating of glazed ice on a surface, often a roadway. While not truly black, it is transparent, allowing the usually-black asphalt/macadam roadway to be seen through it, hence the term. It is unusually slick compared to other forms of roadway ice, and is a factor in some car accidents.

[metal4life543]

very slippery ice

[NintendoDevil]

A mixture of mud and Ice, that forms early or late in winter when snow melts and mixes with dirt, then re-freezes, and it's very slippery.

[Shawnster65]

That's ice that can't be seen while driving at night because of the lack of light. You can't tell it from the road.

[nblax41]

its clear ice on the road, you cant see it. but the bus driver was drunk, there wasn't any ice on the road

[shytownmofo]

It wasn't proven that the driver was drunk, he could have just fell asleep at the wheel or something.

[Ueichen]

yeah fuck that motherfucker :(

[junkyard31909]

cliff burton rest in peace

[hitandrundude44]

i wonder what it would be like if cliff were here today... R.I.P CLIFF BURTON

[ledman120]

they would be WAAAAAY Better

[nexspectovos]

Really puts things in perspective, at some point Cliff says so far 'Kill 'Em All' has sold 60,000 copies worldwide. Amazing how much that changed in just a few short years...

[Marrodamaan]

hmm.. u guys think metallica would still be around if Mustaine still was in the band and Cliff didnt die?

[rudolfswow]

small things can change big things! or some thing like that!

[junkyard31909]

i dont know they might not have writtin ride the lightning or master of puppets

and so on

[Swazi4]

I think they would have imploded by that point. They almsot imploded with 2 big egos in James and lars, I can only imagine if they had Mustaine who has just as big, if not bigger ego.

[engineengines]

FUCK YES !!!!!

[Coldacre]

who knows....... it's a "what if".....

[teabag619]

i agree completely. and to all the people saying metallica sold out you are very right they did sell out with the black album and possibly before. cliff burton MADE metallica and he is most likely rolling over in his grave at the shame they have created in his name!

[REAanimations]

R.I.P Cliff, rock on in heaven!

[rockeletterdude]

is he in heaven?

[keltec223]

Fighting about shit that can't be proven one way or the other is just fucking stupid...and it sure as hell isn't going to bring Cliff back or change reality.

If you're a Cliff Burton fan, honor his memory.....not your's.

[cactussalad]

sellouts or no sellouts metallica is metallica and music is music why care if they sold out selling out is just more fans and isnt that the point of a banfd having as manyfans as u can so what relle is selling out if there just trying to make more people happy?

[jameseybhoy1974]

Cliff was awesome, but he was just a guy, he's not god. RIP!

[unknownglory1]

ahhhhh..........furture......i­f only

[cmsasuke17]

i can give 10 less shits about metallica selling out. in fact, it might be the reason why heavy metal is getting bigger today, which is a good thing i believe.

[megas13proto]

umm deathcore and hardcore is not metal retard

[johnnycat2112]

actually Metal by FAR is not as huge as it once was. too many bands, very little talent, no one really stands out above the rest.

[majikskittles]

Metallica woulda never sold out if cliff never died...

[Trogdorwillrise]

Lies and slander; Cliff himself said in another interview that he didn't give a fuck what anyone else said and Metallica did what they wanted to do. He was just an ordinary guy; he wasn't the God and Keeper of Metallica that people make him out to be.

[akathasamurai]

Like any of you would know what they were planning...

Bottom line is they were heavy when they had Cliff and soft when they didn't have Cliff. If the bus crash wouldn't have happened, their future albums MIGHT have been different. But how much?

I don't even think the band members know the answer to that.

[issa9]

Cliff loved blues, plunk and softer rock more than anyone else in the band, that bleusy influence that Metallica has now yould have still happened even if Cliff was alive.

[AlexBenham]

You gotta also remember how Cliffs playing style was very classical.

[Johnlynchvids]

R.I.P

[kegs95]

you know what would have happened if cliff hadnt picked the ace of spades and got the bunk instead of kirk? i guess it was a sacrifice for metallica
