thier is just no equal to him no matter what band! Cliff Burton was the greatest bassist in the entre freakin world.

Matt from Bakersfield, CaFor Whom the Bell Tolls, god it's a great song the opening has no comparisen.

Shaun from Reykjavík, IcelandLove the bass CLIFF 'EM' ALL.

'Frayed Ends' has never been played enitrely probably because it's too complex. They're going to play the Black Album and 'Ride the Lighting' in their entirety (on two seperate nights) later this year. As for the other songs, I don't know if they ever played them live before. They used to play the beginning of 'The Frayed Ends of Sanity' (y'now the Wizard of OZ 'flying monkeys' part) before going into other songs, and 'Escape' has only been played live as a jam. When I saw them in 2004, they played 'The God That Failed'.

Zero from Nowhere, Njto Serkan Anarka, Turkey: They HAVE played 'Trapped Under Ice' live, but only 3 times in it's entirety.I actually think 'Enter Sandman' has some of the most lame pre-Anger lyrics (besides maybe 'Kill 'Em All'). In fact I actually think with Load and ReLoad James just get better with his lyrics. Zero from Nowhere, NjTo Joe, Fort Meade, I think up until ReLoad they had great messages in their songs (Not taking into account the music, which I think was still good, just not technically demanding as their older stuff).Zero from Nowhere, NjTo Stew, Buffalo, UK: Cliff Exclusively finger plucked.Īlso Jason most of the time used a pick and Rob most of the time finger plucked.Alessandro from Brindisi, ItalyYou can dig out from Youtube some very old footage with a young Cliff Burton performing 'For Whom' intro during a session in his high school.Luke from London, UkSo that's a bass in the intro? Damn.Anonymouswhat is the tolling sound? is it an anvil or is it an ACTUAL bell?.Culebra666 from GalizaAccording to Mick Wall's Metallica biography 'Enter night', the bell was actually an anvil.Dan Gillespy from Courtenay BcThis song is a true Metallica classic.

Edgar allan poe for whom the bell tolls
