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.

Get the Hit the cliffmug. King Cliff is a true urban legend. What started a nick name evolved into a title. Cliff excelled at everything he tried. He is a top snow skier, businessman, achiever, explorer & lover.
Origin:
Cliff became the best skier out of all his buddies. In Australia Thredbo is the premier resort and our stomping ground. One of the crew said "your the king of the mountain Cliffy, the king of Thredbo". Then King Cliff the king of Thredbo.

"Our GenAI tool/model hit the complexity cliff when it couldn’t handle the multi-variable forecast—time to blend in human oversight!"
