Cliff Burton Interview

[13374A1]

People in the '80s were dickheads.

[TheFeeez21]

2:32 ish.. "try to stay in tune and stay on time.." lars im sorry but you've never kept any kind of "time" live ever.. i play the drums and lars was my reason for starting to play.. so needless to say i am a 100% metallica fan.. but the more i know the less i like lars as a drummer.. just very sloppy and very lazy and his ego shows through way too much... i wish he would play the damn song instead of overplaying and trying to do too much.. he's very very lucky to have known james in 1980

[ElGordoBeta]

what Song? 

[mactavishc]

No-one would dare dislike this.

[83ishgirl]

So young. Wow! It's like going back in time.

[Crucial1s]

James Hetfield and Cliff Burton Were Both Wearing Misfits Shirts Long Before The Embarassment of todays posers

[deadrisinglord]

Metallica's badass

[KathrynHammett]

I love the face Cliff makes @1:38 xD ♥

[fairyfellermaster]

"or maybe we're not playing a thousand miles an hour". Advice Coming from the late great cliff burton to everyone who thinks metal is all about playing fast all the time. It gets boring after a while.

[metallica1001fan]

Respect

[sloppiejoe87]

at 2:14 to everyone that says metallica would still be playing crazy fast today if cliff would be still alive

[theguitarczar]

It never fails

[10laughungtears]

Hey, Cliff ain't dead. As long as we remember him and listen to his music, he's there.

[FredDude27]

Do you hear that motherfeckers!? What Cliff said!? "Whatever"!

So feck you!

[seltzer30]

This was...WAS...They're just like us? Yeah, before they got rich, had fame for a long period of time, and forgot who put them where they are today...Their Fans...That was then...now??? Removed.

[scarletboa]

69 likes and 0 dislikes. this is ideal. \m/

[blastofo]

Cliff was definitely the coolest customer in the band.

[MrJoshiey]

What a lovely name...Gail Flug...Ha!

[leahcimrac]

Kirk and Lars look like they're 15 years old.

[leahcimrac]

Kirk and Lars look like they're 15 years old.

[wwerulestna]

Listen to 2:04, and from now on, shut your fucking mouths about Metallica "selling out" after Cliff passed...

[chouzouris]

@wwerulestna

what about 3:03 when Cliff says: "not tryin' to be some big and fancy... it's just us, doing what we do... let's keep it that way..." Well, they did keep it that way after Cliff's death imo, AJFA was a great album but was the end titles as well...

[shreddintheaxe]

@chouzouris this person (chouzouris) knows what their talking about

[chouzouris]

@shreddintheaxe

thanx mate

[shreddintheaxe]

@wwerulestna and he also made a statement before he died saying were true to ourselves and were gonna keep it that way. but it ain't cliff's fault that they died, they chose to write shitty material after the 80's.

[chouzouris]

@shreddintheaxe

Couldn't agree more with you mate. I strongly believe that and justice for all was the band's swan song..

[shreddintheaxe]

@chouzouris yeah it's a shame he died, it's more ashamed that the band died. money changes people.

[Collabers7]

Cliff Burton didn't belong in Metallica

[andrew19vato]

@Collabers7 exactly, it wasn't destined for him although that may sound harsh

[ricardinhomascaro]

Thank You Jimi Hendrix of bass!!!

[ArticSabbathGwar75]

Cliff sums it up best at the end with his final quote. What a legend.

[kermicheo]

now I finally realize that when cliff burton was in the band, metallica weren't complete dicks. they were just musicians doing there thing. just like any other band. I'm going to convince myself of that cause let's face it, they have some pretty kickass tunes.

[mrfurious39]

Now if only the poser Metallica "fans" that wanna hear the same shred out your ass at the speed of light fast thrash over and over could hear Cliff say it best... "We do what we wanna do and if they consider that selling out then whatever... Or maybe you don't play a 1,000 mph the whole time." RIP Burton.

[TheImmortalmetal]

YEAH TAKE THAT FAGGOTY ASS NEW WAVE!!!!!!!

[DippaWins]

@TheImmortalmetal what?

[tm060994]

They drink beers in interviews (1:40)

[fredsassy5]

Metallica were in their best years with Cliff Burton R.I.P. Legend

[George91280]

Whatever happened to Gail Flung? :))))))

[momscarface2]

if i could go back in time....i would murder the bus driver before he headed on road with  metallica..... >:(

[TheImmortalmetal]

@momscarface2 me too!

[100PercentJoseph]

@momscarface2 Lol imagine the wikipedia article about that... "For reasons unknown, a deranged man sprinted up to Metallica's tour bus in September 1986 and murdered the driver. This incident still baffles the band to this day."

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

at 3:20 the guy suggested that everyone got down to the concert, it starts at 7 :30, does anybody have a time machine that I can use to go back to 1986 and see the concert ?

[TheMonkey5555555]

woah look at the lars he has a mullet almost!!!

[vincevargas9]

@SERGIOWIIRIVIEWS Cliff Burton IS god!

[patrick61503]

Wen it first shows cliff helooks high as hell take a look hes like wtf is that

[SERGIOWIIRIVIEWS]

Cliff was a bassgod! RIP

[wazzomaster92]

Hey hey hey...leave lars alone!

[jetsfan3423]

god lars is such a tool

[trex6321]

@LittlPussi yeah ride the lightening was proly the one i liked and he was on there of course but yeah the best shit was with him and not even just that they sold out ! so there are a couple things agreed he was one of them!

[Welshbassist17]

i would have been there a 7.30 is i were born :( RIP CLIFF!!!!!

[herghostintheffog]

cliff looks so fucking criminal ( in a good way) :S hahaha

\m/ \m/

[firebat42]

I wonder what Metallica would be like if Cliff Never died and James' voice didn't break

[mmim4]

@firebat42 well whos knows can they possibly be any more famous or better? they have accomplished so much they still sell out their shows so...

[firebat42]

@mmim4 I'm not thinking so much in terms of fame or "better." I was thinking more along the lines of what their music would sound like,

[youfreaker]

Cliff Burton brings everything so good to words

[davemustarda]

Wow. kirk and lars really sound gay, it reminds me of some boys band guys.

[DylanMan6]

With all due respect they aren`t the best thrash band in America. R.I.P. Clifford Lee Burton the best goddamn bass player ever!

[MesserBie]

We do what we want to do, if they consider that selling out then... Whatever.

[majosensei19]

damm it everybody has the same voice

[emjcohen]

2:04 to 2:35 Contrary to the beliefs of Metallica haters, the band is largely still like that today. Granted they've matured, grown, and they have their families to consider, but they express themselves honest with their music.

[Guitcad1]

@emjcohen Yet somehow, they still manage to suck.

[klokstrkes14]

haha i swear to god that james dubbed his current voice over this one.

[bratyjoshua123]

what song is the first song

[TheDylan831]

@bratyjoshua123 ride the lightning

[w00tf00d]

Us doin what we do an keep it that way. :'( cliff was so true about everything he said.

[GiorgosWarrior]

Lars was sound so cooll when he was talking!

[TPCproductionz]

2:03 Cliff has just PROVEN that metallica didn't sell out!

[363Magi]

@TPCproductionz He never heard any of the The Black Album" yet. I doubt he would want to play on that. Because it's not worthy enough for a THRASH METAL BASS GOD!

[tsadavid4205000]

wish there were more interviews with cliff

[tacostandskater]

wow lars souds the same :)

[2006hondatrx250ex]

so thats wats cliff sounded like :) R.I.P cliff

[aniizephyr02]

I loooooooooooooooooooooove Cliff's voice :)

[TomHPMc]

I'm sorry but every time I hear Lars' voice I burst out laughing.

[nez349]

long live metallica pls!

[what21111]

kirk looks evil

[EvilRedGoose]

1:58 words of truth :D

[LittlPussi]

No disrespect to Jason (good guy) but after Cliff's death, they have never been the same.

[guii70]

@LittlPussi i agree, and i also prefer jason than rob, his backing vocals were just amazing, and nowadays, they would be essential to improve the quality of james' weakened vocals singing live

[LittlPussi]

@guii70 Oh yes, actually, I think they should have stopped when Jason left. As a band they have nothing left to offer. As individuals it's a different story. There's probably some music left in Kirk, though not necessarily Metal, and since "Load" James has been flirting with a rough kinda "outlaw-country" thing. Maybe he should explore that, we know he can write songs, and since they don't need the money anymore... Lemmy went into Blues and cooperations, what's stopping Metallica-members?

[BostonRSox10]

@LittlPussi Death Magnetic was good.

[OpressionOffical]

@LittlPussi

Well, in my opinion ...And Justice For All... is Metallica's best. But after that there's been shit, until Death Magnetic. I like some songs on the Black Album but not as a whole. But if Cliff never died Metallica would have been so much better

[planetburn]

@LittlPussi

AJFA sounded pretty metallica still

[AnotherDaneMetalhead]

@LittlPussi Really isn't that weird. It was a terrible thing that happened, and he probably contributed a lot to sound and other of the musical perspectives. :)

[andresoacuna]

@LittlPussi You mean, after Bob Rock, they have never been the same.

[TalibanpizzamaN911]

@LittlPussi I agree, but you can't live always in the shadow of the first three albums forever.

[rcw1997]

@LittlPussi yeah, they got beetter

[caceteirooooo]

@LittlPussi they came back with Death Magnetic xD Robert Trujillo :P

[ArtjomsSivickis]

@caceteirooooo Came back to sucking. That's what they do for the past 20 years..)))

[caceteirooooo]

@ArtjomsSivickis don't say that. please. METALLICA ARE A GREAT METAL BAND.

[aasgoroth]

@caceteirooooo just like where they're great? the have 4 albums that DON'T SUCK, but they are not great in any way. just go & compare them to fuckin' Slayer. and if you find'em better or even comparable - go suck a dick, you deserve it.

[caceteirooooo]

@aasgoroth I wasn't comparing them to any band! Yes Slayer are very good. so are Megadeth. Anthrax. Manowar. METALLICA. Justin.... (Just Kidding). Judas Priest... and more. and they just have load, reload and st. anger that are bad.

[MetallicaFan109]

@caceteirooooo dude, load, reload, and st. anger arent bad. they're just different.

[caceteirooooo]

@MetallicaFan109 okay. I wrote it wrong. Load, Reload and St. Anger are just less amazing as the others greats ones xP

[MetallicaFan109]

@caceteirooooo fair enough. but they're still bloody good

[ArtjomsSivickis]

@caceteirooooo I'm not saying. I'm writing, because they suck so bad, that it is not worth opening my mouth. They are mainstream shit for 10-15 yearolds, who wanna be cool metalheads, not knowing other bands!

[caceteirooooo]

@ArtjomsSivickis SHUT THE FUCK UP! WHAT DO YOU HEAR? JUSTIN BIEBER WHILE YOU HAVE 20 YEARS OLD? IS THAT IT? YOU HEAR RHIANNA BEYONCE OR WHAT THE FUCK IS HER NAME IN YOUR 20-30 YEARS?

[TheWhitevoices]

RIP old Metallica

[OvErRaTeDKiD]

james sound the EXACT same as he does now - when he talks :P

[imdashit5]

@OvErRaTeDKiD I wish it were the same for his singing

[Guitcad1]

@imdashit5 And songwriting.

[signifer19922]

@OvErRaTeDKiD nah its deeper now

[nicobal666]

@OvErRaTeDKiD so that means he still can do those screams from 1983!?

[hockeydude634]

@OvErRaTeDKiD yea but he sings different to 1983 to 2011

[fishermangonewild]

@OvErRaTeDKiD so does lars XD

[petugalo]

WE NEED THAT RIDE THE LIGHTNING LIVE VIDEO

[OfficialKickStart]

other than metallica, the fans are fucking dickheads

[Alllycia001]

YEEEAAAHHH PARTY PEOPLE!!!
