A man so great he deserves his own thread, any discussion on him welcome.
For those people unfamiliar with the works of Burton (those people exist?) he was Metallica's early bassist and pioneered the use of the bass guitar for leads (the instrumentals "The Call of the Ktulu" and "Orion" are great examples of this).
Personally I love the chromatic introduction on For Whom The Bell Tolls... much like the lead in disposable heroes it is easy to mistake it for a guitar but it is just an example of the incredible possibilities of a even a simple four string bass.
