Cliff Burton-February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986

He was great and a great loss to the world of R&R.

I would have loved to see him and Mike Anthony of Van Halen cut heads.

Gee Blues. I surprised. With all the great musicians shown in your sig I can't imagine you think this guy is all that at least not from that performance. Kinda like they advertise on Ebay, if you can't play guitar learn to shred! I guess it goes for bass too. Shred, Shek. What the heck.

I can understand that it is a very different style of music. That style of Bass would not have anyplace in Blues or Jazz but fits fine in R&R.

I do have an appreciation for high energy Rock as well and have seen some talented bass players like the afore mentioned Mike Anthony pull off some mind blowing solos. I guess what always drew me to Metallica was their craftsmanship to the genre. The same with bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Well Blues I hear you and that's fair but I'd bet if you turned off the Gain and Distortion on that guys amp the whole would sound like "SUCK". In other words I think this guys amp has as much talent as the player but then I like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee.

Does that make me old?

Yes indeed he does. What instrument do you play? Let me guess....drums!

Hell no! Unless you are as old as they are.
A love of the Blues and knowing the roots of popular music allows a further appreciation of the performance.

But TG is probably getting steamed that we are getting off the topic of marking a tribute to one of her faves.

[Wada]

Of course. My apologies TG. Awesome stuff!

[Wada]

Actually, put into a different music field the guys probably a great bassist.

I live but an hour away from where the bus crashed
Such a great loss.

Here is (in Swedish) a bit of info about the engraver, who raised the money for the memorial stone,
