Burton is one of those guys that always leaves me wondering what could've have been. I always get the feeling that he would've made an incredible "elder statesman" of rock.
Thomas W no kidding. I’d imagine he’d be as close of a brother to James as you could get. A John Entwistle to younger bassists to be. Fair bet he’d had beef up like James did 1987-1991 and would be a crazy ass beast. If that member from Anthrax was right about Cliff James and Kirk planning on kicking Lars from the band after the Damage tour I wouldn’t be surprised that they would have made Groove Metal style stuff before it occurred.
I met cliff after a gig during the damage tour everybody ran towards James and Lara and I went over to Cliff and spoke to him for half hour about a mutual admiration for the Misfits a lovely human being, my friend took a pic of us talking I was only 16 I’m 47 now and Metallica are still my favourite band
Every time I think of people talking about or my own thoughts on what Cliff would’ve looked alive after 1986, I keep thinking of the Monsters of Rock concert on the airfield in Moscow 1991. I mean the menacing look of James and seeing that reflected on Cliff’s more frail shape when they were still kids in 1984-6. Just seeing James who already is a tall and intimidating figure next to a guy who’s taller than him with the bass blasting 1.5 million people with the power of freedom like Lemmy did. To say the least if they hired somebody like Dave Lombardo their material would’ve been nuts in terms of metal insanity... And Justice for an bygone Thrash Metal 90s for Metallica.
Survivors guilt man. James, Kirk, and Lars survived the crash that killed Cliff and were relatively unhurt. Think about losing your best friend like that and you probably wouldn't want to talk about it either.
Me too,saw him several times with S.T..first time,clash of the titans in London 1990...thirty years already.A mate of mine even saw infectious grooves around that time,I believe.
My friends got all the pics still I’m gonna get prints done of them, we just didnt know as a sixteen year old fan that they were gonna be so famous as a group, an amazing exciting time and an awesome concert
@runehater666 They may not have alloted Dave the time...hell, as all of us long-term fans have known, Dave was in total awe of Cliff Burton, took it very hard when he died. You know it hits ya when you pen a song in your friend's memory.
According to Cliff's Dad Ray, he spoke about her at Cliff Burton Day when someone asked, he said she was close with the family for awhile after his death, then moved to Chicago without even saying goodbye to them. He said Jan, Cliff's Mom was really shocked & heartbroken. Apparently she was married for awhile. No further information than that. Also Connie is Cliff's sister. Corinne was his girlfriend. Cliff is also one of my Spirit Guides, we're really plugged in to one another, so I know over the years he's checked in on Corinne. He still keeps an eye out for many of those he left behind. ❤
Why must it buffer every 5 seconds!!! Damn I just wanna hear the story!! This what I hear "Cliff is a great guy he has *buffering......* inspired all of us, and I think we all can say that *buffering...* when he passed we all have a *buffering......* hole in us.
@LamboLighting think about it. You may not hav met him in real physical form. but you did met him musically and spiritually. As gay as that sounds. Think about it.
Huh this must have been an important event. Fatso apparently really dosent like puff and that’s the main reason he left the band. That and he got to write record his parts last.

Yeah, kinda like the successor to Lemmy.

Lee jamieson do you still have the picture?
Dude what a special moment. That’s amazing
Can we see the pic?
never got to see him or meet him (cliff) but it just breaks my heart that he is gone.
This was awesome. Mike Bordin is great. Rob too. Great stories.

Cliff he's my idol :)
He´s gonna live in our hearts FOREVER.
RIP Cliff
man, I was born 20 years after his death, and i wish i could be alive to see Cliff.
Survivors guilt man. James, Kirk, and Lars survived the crash that killed Cliff and were relatively unhurt. Think about losing your best friend like that and you probably wouldn't want to talk about it either.
I feel bad for Kirk... he swapped bunks with cliff on the night of the crash. Would have been Kirk that died
Love you Cliff !!! A total inspiration to all
That literally made me cry. Miss ya buddy!!
Awesome the respect they been givin' Cliff in the later years. For a long, long time they didn't really like to talk about it.
Beautiful story about Cliff, Rob :]
Mike's story might be the cutest story i've ever heard! Awesome
YOU HAVE to love the Love and RESPECT that Cliff commanded! Goddamnit Cliff we miss you!
It made me cry!
Damn Rob that was a pretty personal moment you shared. that was cool
I remember Rob playing live with SUICIDAL !!! Shit, I'm getting old...
Me too,saw him several times with S.T..first time,clash of the titans in London 1990...thirty years already.A mate of mine even saw infectious grooves around that time,I believe.

Take it from our drummer Puff, being good it gets you... stuff!
i agree dave should be able to talk about cliff i'm glad dave lars and james sort there shit out these 3 guys did so much for metal music
A fan of Rob since ST and Infectious Grooves!! and Bordin too since F no M!!
Kinda makes sense even more why Mike's such a great drummer.
I didn't realize that Mike and Cliff were tight like that. That's really great.
R.I.P. CLIFF! Love Rob's voice btw!

It's understandable. Apparently those two were very committed in their relationship (according to To Live is to Die).
Can you imagine the band, had Cliff survived, that could have happened in like 1991 with Bordin, Martin, Burton and Hetfield?
Cliff's girlfriend, Connie, should have made an appearance and said something. Would have been interesting to hear how their relationship went.
According to Cliff's Dad Ray, he spoke about her at Cliff Burton Day when someone asked, he said she was close with the family for awhile after his death, then moved to Chicago without even saying goodbye to them.

PUFFY
THANKS A LOT FOR THE VIDEO!! :D

Get better Internet
@@conradsz Well yeah, Captain Obvious. I love how you replied just now to an almost decade old comment hahaha.
@@ThisIsJared then don't complain about it like it's the video's fault, just get better internet
@@stedmangg 8 years later stegmangg replies to the comment.
Rob is amazing.
🤘💜 Great stuff
@otpenagos he talks about Cliff through "In my darkest hour".
I got more out of this video then I bargained for.
we love you trujjilo fuck all the people that hate on him ;) rip cliff
Great stuff.
There's another vídeo with Lars talking about Cliff ?
I don't think Lars and Cliff got along
@@123612100 that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
@@tacosesh how is it dumb?
he looks weird without a bass
Rip Cliff Burton
special friends
It's weird how Puff was best friends with two of Metallica's bass players.
@ThrashTilGrave actually he talks about an ex-girlfriend in IMDH,but he plays the music for cliff \m/
*Corinne, not Connie*
Rob has massive arms
TRUJILLO IS GOD.
@StormTheEternalGates
Burton as well was an amazing bassist, but the best finger picker? No way man. That title belongs to Billy Sheehan.
@bowslap What song was that?
Alguien puede traducirlo al español?
CLIFF!!!!!
@LamboLighting think about it. You may not hav met him in real physical form. but you did met him musically and spiritually. As gay as that sounds. Think about it.
cliffs older brother died to?
That's why Cliff played bass.
+MelodicMizeryPs3Vids he had a brain aneurysm when he was 16. everyone in cliff's family is dead except me, his dad, and his sister.
+Nicole Brereton there are cousins though.
@runehater666 yeah, dave went back to doing drugs because of cliff's death.
@tipyahlahnah you are very lucky )
Huh this must have been an important event. Fatso apparently really dosent like puff and that’s the main reason he left the band. That and he got to write record his parts last.
Well, his sister was called Connie,and maybe she was there, but found it too hard to talk?
Are people ever going to move on!
Or Lars
Lol some1 shouted "seggfej" XD
@otpenagos Really!
LARS
