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 Shanti cliff mug.A type of person who deserves to be thrown off the cliff. Someone useless, bad, mean, negative, destructive, lazy.
Dean was an mean fat obnoxious man who couldn't care less for anyone. If he's got thrown off the cliff no one would miss him. He was definitely cliff-worthy.

Get the cliff-worthy mug.This is where you’re not in the friend zone, but you’re also not in a relationship. It’s kind of an in between stage where you don’t know where you guys stand. Though, the feelings have to be mutual in order for this stage to be in effect.

Get the The Cliff Zone mug.When you are having sex with a woman and you get her to orgasm and pull out in the middle of it and run away.
I was giving Christy the best orgasm of her life in a park when a car drove up and I had to give that bitch a cliff hanger…

Get the cliff hanger mug.The act of having sex with a woman on the edge of a bed, and just as you come you let go of her and she falls off the bed.
Ron: Yeah!
Dierdre: WTF, you almost broke my neck!
Ron: Maybe so, but it was an awesome Cliff Hanger!!!
and
Realizing he only had a single bed and didn't want her to share it with him once they were done, he suggested they do The cliff Hanger.
