Metallica - To Live Is To Die Demo

This demo was recorded in January 1988 for the album ...And Justice For All.

Other Demos for ...And Justice For All:
Blackened
...And Justice For All
Eye Of The Beholder
One
The Shortest Straw
Harvester Of Sorrow
The Frayed Ends Of Sanity
Dyers Eve

Note: Most of the songs don't have the real lyrics, just James filling it with 'Na-na-nahs', this means that these demos were recorded before most of the writing began.

@TrafficMind10 Cliff wrote the riffs for the song yes, but not the poem. The poem was just one that cliff admired and lived by.

8:10 you can hear james' head explode from the epicness of the song

@mattasbill1991 Nobody knows!

@mozleyman Cliff wrote the riffs to the heavy part. Hetfield wrote the one for the middle part.

@ArticSabbathGwar75 In the documentary, Kirk said he was still alive. Then, they were lifting the bus off of Cliff and it dropped back on him again.

@mozleyman Indeed the first part of the poem is written by Paul Gerhardt, but still the second half of the poem is a Burton creation.

@ArticSabbathGwar75 I've read that, too. They weren't sure if he was dead, they tried to lift it with a crane, but it snapped and the bus fell back on him. Very irritating to hear. Things might have been much different..,.

@demonsbloodx6x

He was still alive when they tried to lift the bus off him? How do you know? I would imagine he was killed as soon the bus crashed.
