A literall bass god. His work for Metallica gives men and women orgasms. He was taken from us to soon in a bus accident.
Girl:omg I love Metallica!

Girl:ummm the bass guy?
Guy: which one? Robert Trujillo, Jason Newsted, or Cliff Burton, our god!

Metallica's 2nd bassist; one of the greatest bassists to ever walk the earth.
Died in November 1986 on the Master of Puppets tour, and with him, died Metallica's greatness. ...And Justice for All marked the beginning of Tallica's downward spiral into the pussy shit they are today.

Cliff Burton rocks! Couldn't Lars Ulrich have died instead? Maybe Metallica wouldn't suck then. Because....they fucking suck now, and Lars is an asshat !

The most overrated bass player of all time. He was the second bass player for garage band Metallica founded by a Danish midget and a Drunk. Cliff was basically their father and did everything to guide them as the oldest.
Cliff was the only one in the group who could write harmony and was an invaluable melodic assets on their early albums. And is known for bass solos
However, his actual bass technique is about the equivalent to that aforementioned Danish midget on drums. Extremely sloppy, missing notes and a tone that sounds like a wall of flatulence.
Whilst he was a great and legendary musician overall; compared to someone like Billy Sheehan or most other great bassists. He cannot hold a candle in raw technique as most of the time he has a wall of distortion that covers up his mistakes.

A fucking legend of a bass guitarist. Easily one of the best bass players of all time whose talent was wasted sadly in a tour bus accident. Metallicas 1st (2nd if you count McGovney) bassist
