[Tyebag1]

I love Cliff but is it just me or does anyone else think its ironic that cliff died when a bus went over cliff with him in it

[Scary2Stroke]

well considering they didnt go over a cliff... the buss just tipped over and the buss diver blamed it on black ice.

[XSanitariuMX3o5]

the bus didn't go off a cliff dickhead it just flipped on it's side.

RIP Cliff Lee Burton

[ginocidian1]

it hit some black guys.... i mean ice, black ice..

[rockstar1060]

Damn that fucking busdriver

[iLikechevelle]

shouldn't it be "fuck that damn bus driver?"

[Jinxerz010792]

I like Fuck the fucking fucker right up the fucking ass. WITH METAL. UP HIS ASS. FUCK.

[tpain2345]

you can really hear a Randy Rhoads-ish style in Kirk's playing on the early albums, I always wondered if Kirk liked Rhoads and now I know he did

[notthebitmyster01]

cool

[guitarXdrumsXbacardi]

"If you dont come to our shows and we see you on the streets we will find you and kill you!...WEAAAAHR!" xD and then "DIIIE!" X)

[mintersmafia]

[krizalidzero]

it could and should have been louder.

[computergasm]

"how you guys doin' tonight?"

"great"

"im not drunk enough"

classic.

REST IN PEACE CLIFF!

[nmillwater33]

clevelands.d..................­..eath station

[fuckclearchannel]

I can't quite tell what Kirk says at :26, what does he say? Funny interview, though.

[vidzrus]

Ulrich Roth tremendously

[Moolz]

@vidzrus If you download this with an .flv downloader and play it in vlc, you can play it @ twice the volume and hear everything. I had a hard time hearing to too. ;)

[BijanMetallica]

Oh man, I roke out laughing because of the way Kirk said "Die!" at the end. These guys were fucking ripped during the interview.

[TwiceRader]

Kirk sounds like he's tripping balls.

[chandler513]

KIRK A LEGEND FOR EVER!

RIP CLIFF!

[f4d32bl4ck]

alot of guitarist these days suck ass

most bands these days suck if you where a band that came out fresh between 2005 and now you prolly suck except BFMV they are still good

but other bands these days suck

we need more bands like metallica used to be

[MetalKnight86]

Amen. Let's do away with those god-awful pop-rock poseurs. The day thrash sees a revival will be a joyous one indeed.

[master6of6omens6]

It will happen... New thrash bands like Warbringer and Fueled by Fire are evidence of a renewed interest in thrash metal. A resurrection will probably come soon enough...

[MattBodossian]

well man im forming a thrash band within 2 years we gotta find a drummer and a vocalist.

[MetalKnight86]

Very good to hear. By just forming, you'll be better than most of the poseurs that call themselves "rockers" these days. Can't wait to see what you'll do.

[MattBodossian]

ya Im realy excited to team up with my guitarist. we always talk on the phone and write sweet riffs and shit i cant wait til the band is together, but he wont move to my city til hes 18 which is 2 years, and ill be 16.

[SidVicious10101]

The vocalist is the hard part.

[morepiepleaseTV]

ya, you know what i think is stupid? HOw some bands have two guitarists, and no solos. What the fuck is that other guy for????

[BUNJEE321]

just extra noise i guess... :P

[AAbLeeDINgFIngErsAA]

Thats my dream riviving old throsh metal

[BijanMetallica]

LOL all of these guys are so stoned. Especially Kirk. Ahhh!

[gibsongold1970]

why is cliff's bass lower in the mix?! now that i know this i am furious!considering he is the better musician out of all those zipperheads!i love you cliff and miss you greatly!!!R.I.P BROTHER CLIFFORD LEE BURTON

[Sylvex102]

Cliff sounds like Kurt Cobain on this interview :)

[rgkooper]

true =)

[Hashwizard]

Cliff was right the bass couldve been louder no question! lol

[compossibles12]

it confirms everything i've ever thought

[KalashnikovsRule]

The bass can always be louder.

[metal1313]

august 4th 1984 i turned 12 years old that day!! great interview! we miss you cliff! metal up your ass!!!

[iLikeCookie88]

I think Kirk sounds a bit stoned in this xD

This is great, though - I love hearing interviews from the Cliff days

[redgibson1]

i love them so much...i wish cliff was still around...listening to this is like goin back in time 25 years. who wouldve thought theyd be the best band in the world?....crazy...

[kitrik23]

thats awsome that kirk compliments a young yngwie malmsteen

[freezethedead23]

Creeping Death solo was truly a Kirk Hammett solo but with a Malmsteen touch!

[fmbighair]

wow, this is great, not many interviews from these guys in the early days that i can find...

Kirk's rant at the end is hilarious, lol./

[detainedbassist]

"If you don't come to our shows, we'll see you on the streets and find you and kill you." hahahahaha

[detainedbassist]

CLIFF IS THE MAN.

[twikirobot]

LONG LIVE CLIFF.

[coolaseva]

i didn't steal 'em....suckers! lol!

[DatFatPat]

A TRUE metal band in Heaven would be:

Dave Williams - Vocalist

DImebag Darrell - Guitar

Randy Rhoads - Guitar

CLiff Burton - Bass

John Bonham - Drums

[Chooz]

or in hell...

[SlashxPerry]

lol

[Metallicamaniak098]

dood dont forget james hetfield, he is also really awsome

[XIxBLaCKeNeDxIX]

But all these guys are dead...

[lordoftheheavymetal]

Kirk's dead?????? =))

[Metallicamaniak098]

yo dude there not all dead. Kirk doin really really good at the solos and hits the notes perfectly, Rob looks like a freakin monkey but he can definatly play bass, idk wtf is up with lars, and James Is getting his voice back.watch the whiplash video from 2007

[XIxBLaCKeNeDxIX]

No no no, i was talking about DatFatPat talking about all the great musicians that would make an AMAZING band in HEAVEN, and You said James Hetfield and hes not dead but all the musicians DatFatPat listed are so yea...METAL UP YOUR ASS, not your ass just everyone in general...XD

[Metallicamaniak098]

haha, ya man. Thrash 4 eva

[lordoftheheavymetal]

James is not dead yet...

[Metallicamaniak098]

neither is kirk, james is gettin his voice back,watch the 2007 version of whiplash

[XIxBLaCKeNeDxIX]

No no no, i was talking about DatFatPat talking about all the great musicians that would make an AMAZING band in HEAVEN, and Metallicamaniak09 said James Hetfield would be good in the band and hes not dead, but all the musicians DatFatPat listed are so yea...METAL UP YOUR ASS, not your ass just everyone in general...XD

[XxK00l4IdM4nxX]

a band in heaven would be this

Metallica in the 80's

but i agree with classofohnine too

[xtakisx]

really heavy metal slaughter death blood. hahaha

[detainedbassist]

Cliff is awesome. Great quote.

[thedissonance]

if cliff was still alive you have no clue what there would be. there are rumors that he was gunna leave for another project you have no clue idiot

[metalanthi]

Cliff was a god and always will be. He will always live in us through his music. Rest in peace CB....

[CrimsonIdol1990]

ohhh and kirk wrote a song with exodus called "die bye his Hand" which has the infamous section in creeping death "die by my hand, icreep across the land,killing first born man" so im sure not alot of you knew that,but whatever

[CrimsonIdol1990]

my opinion is if it had been kirk who died, cliff and tha guys would have prolly tried to get dave back...not that it would have happened cause dave had a big follow up with killing is my buisness and peace sells

[musicianforjesus]

I wonder if this tragic bus crash wouldn't have killed him would he still be in the band today.

[GNARKiLL612]

he'd probably throw up over Black Album

[DarxOmega]

but if he was still alive, there would'nt be a Black Album. Or a Load (of shit), or a RELoad (of more shit). Need I say more?

[masterofmetallica09]

Nor ST. Anger

[Jinxerz010792]

Hey, there was a gleam to those tarnished coins.

[ClassofOHNine]

who knows, he might like one or two songs? he might like Sandman?

[KissMeImPunk]

But Cliff wasn't about the mainstream shit.

[FILTH06]

CLIFF BURTON 1982 - 1986 R.I.P

I'm from sweden and have been at the place he died, ljungby. i have been standing in pit he lied when he had the bus over him. It's a strange feeling.. you thinking it was here Cliff died!! Rest in peace Clifford Lee Burton!

[ClassofOHNine]

he wasn't 4 years old when he died. you wrote 1982-1986, it's 1962-1986. 

RIP CLIFF you died too young

[dapper64]

r.i.p cliif you are the best you did not diserve to die you should still be in the band but know your in bass heaven hope you enjoy it =]

[Reozren]

Amen bro !

[ClassofOHNine]

Band in Heaven would be like this:

Randy Rhoads-lead gtr

Steve Clark(of Def Leppard)- rhythm gtr

CLIFF BURTON!!-bass

John Bonham-drums

Bon Scott-vocals

RIP to all of the above people

RIP CLIFF

[chillfactor2k]

I agree with a lot of your dream band mines a litle different

Dime-Lead

Randy Rhoads-Rhythm

Cliff-Bass

Randy Castillo-Drums

Bon Scott-Vochals

R.I.P

[sicknasty57]

defenitely switch the lead and rhythm spots

[lukepleaseshutup]

I'd probably rather take Moon the Loon (The Who) for the drummer.

[Overseer32]

kirk > yngwie.

[logandecker]

personality wise, yes, but c'mon, yngwie is amazing at guitar, if very arrogant

[Sasuke725]

aren't yngwie strings thinnner than normal guitars?

but he is still good

[SidVicious10101]

they're like 8 gauge. Really thin.

[Jinxerz010792]

Then why hasn't Kirk been to G3?

[simony999]

He isn't that well respected by a lot of people in musical circles

[09Blackened]

cos hes not a shredder

[thrasher123]

wow, i was at this show, me and all my buddies drove from CT to see them (friend's bro drove i remember, it was summer vaca). i don't really remember too much from this show just that it was such a great time and i was only in 9th grade!

[rockandrolltime4367]

Cliff shall R.I.P.

He was a great man that influenced many and he will be remembered by many as the best thrash metal bassist ever. Cliff Burton died because he won a card game and got to sleep in the good bed near the window on the tour bus. The window was open, the bus slipped and he fell out the window and was crushed.

[MoonOvIce]

I think the bass actually came louder on Kill'em All...

[zero2492]

Yngwie just plays fsat scales and knows a little classical, and he thinks he is a god.

[metallicacliff]

fuck you cliff isnt god but he is wiht him now you prick

[OMGItsEvy]

How ironic... lol

[hupla22]

i think everyone misunderstood what metallica cliff was saying! Its were commas come in handy!

[1VanHalen1]

where

[miketheeverlasting]

we make the pedestal for him, he just sits on it, if you got a problem, it's with all his fans, not him

[smartfit]

if he didnt know how to play guuitar he woudnt be famous, would he dipshit?

[zero2492]

he said Yngwie is great... yngwie is a fag

[viddelt]

zero2492: hell no, hes GOD

[xxxAGWUUMxxx]

aww kirk! <33

[HarDcorXtreme]

kirk has a cute voice lol

[topraman517]

"This is Kirk from Metallica, or sometimes."

[MamothRoar]

Interviewer "So hows the bass on this album"

Cliff "I think it needs to be louder, but I've thought that all my life"

RIP CLIFF

[caguameishon]

kirk said yngwie?

[ML1990125]

Kirk is soo right about the whole "its really trendy these days to play as fast as possible without really knowing what your playing, just for speed sake". I think that counts today as well with all these people saying the Dragonforce guitarists are the best in the world and all this shit. Their good, and probably the fastest there is atm but their not the best!!!

[asdfghjykl]

it would be cool if there was a rare video of cliff buton and kirk

[zensmack89]

I was at the Roseland Ballroom show. Actually I didn't think Metallica sounded that great at that show. Kirk was way too low in the mix. I saw them again later (Jan 85?) with WASP and Armored Saint at L'Amour in Brooklyn and I thought it was a much better show. I didn't see them again until years later in an arena with Jason. They were great but it wasn't the same as back in the early days.

[OnePastMidnight]

cliff is probably the best heavy metal bassist ever. steve harris from maiden comes close but DAMN! bass solo with distortion and wah-wah, wow.

[metallicafan557]

H was reffering to Creeping Death

"All the riffs that might seem reminiscent of Exodus, I WROTE THEM!"

Funny XD

[freezethedead23]

and true too!

Gary also admitted it!

I think all these guys are killer guitarists in their own way!

[GoDLiKe211]

lol kirk sounds like a little kid

[TurkMetalci]

guitarkid024 man u r right:D

[guitarkid024]

kirks voice hasnt changed from then to now

[Nuust]

pretty funny.

[Vortex8856]

because...he was through the puberty then?

[omartron]

You're correct :P

[billby122]

Man. Metallica was just amazing. Despite what people say about them today. I think they have always been that way. So young too! That is so cool! makes you feel like you are hanging out with them back in the day. Ah that would have rocked...

[Papatorrejano]

I have the bootleg from the Roseland Ballroom. This interview is great. Lucky you Vidzrus \m/

[dirtylittlemind]

this interview is a treasure.

[orionInc89]

LOL their crazy drunken growls

[ZT888]

"It seems to be a real trend these days to play as fast as you possibly can without really thinking about what your playing." Kirk, you took the words right out of my mouth.

[ridethelightning86]

as I always said,Megadeth was a cool band back in 80 (since KIMB to RIP) but they weren't big like Metallica.

Metallica was THE Heavy Metal band

[thewildboys]

wow metallica were so metal back then..............what happened?

[rottengrundle]

megadeth sucked from youthanasia on.but no where near as much as metallica does now, trying to sound like goddamn corrosion of conformity.

[t1mk3ll3h3r]

A: mad vocal megadeth dosent suck

B: who the fuck is corrosion of conformity?

[frodo2270]

a sludge metal band from north carolina

[oerrocoxes]

MEGADETH always better!

[Hetfield47]

lol they were stoned...lol fuck i wish i was alive to have seen cliff play...FUCK why me? r.i.p cliff!

[evil8675309]

Who the fuck are you guys to pass jugdement on Metallica anyway ?!

Fuck off...These guys were writing fucking epic shit when your moms and dads were still having sex in the backseat of cars...

[reav3rtm]

"- what do you think about the bass on this album

- well ,as always, I think it could be lourder :)" - classic ;)

[bosoxyaz8]

Wow !!!!!!..........good shit and old so old i was still a teenager........Wow !!

[DavKiss]

Metallica Sucks!

The Best Years of Metallica is with the late CLiff BUrton! then only bullshit

[ridethelightning86]

And Justice For All and the Black album sucks?

[Craylis]

Yes. And Master of Puppets is mediocore but severly overrated.

[ridethelightning86]

this is for you,not for the thrash world

[discohunken]

thanks you for posting!! METALLICA FOR LIFE!!

[VictimofAtkins]

thanks for this, way back when metallica was good:)
