RIP Metallica, on this day

Metallica was lost after the Justice Album... without the inspiration of his death, that album would never have been as good as it was. Cliff was the band.

RIP Cliff.

I totally agree.
Without Cliff, Metallica wouldn't have become what they are now. Without him they wouldn't have moved to San Francisco, and thus start to gain their widespread popularity. And in the same way, without him they've strayed far from their roots. I sincerely doubt that he would have went along with Bob Rock's (who I partially blame for Metallica's downfall IMHO) ideas and concepts for the band.

RIP Cliff

It is actually a pretty good song along with Fixxxer, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me. They still some good songs in the Load/Re-Load era. Some people just can't act untr00 and admit it :)

Agreed. In fact, I would rather listen to Load/Re-Load than Slayer's post-Seasons In The Abyss material. So repetitive, so dull, so boring. The "die-hard" fans are fucking crybabies, if you ask me. Go on and give em' shit for doing whatever they want? Not that I necessarily care for there new stuff nearly as much, (will say some of it sucked as well. "hint hint.) but hey, now they got a bassist who has a style more like Cliff's.

Funny thing is, the hardcore fucktards give Rob Trujilo shit because they think he played on St. Anger. Not the case at all. (It was Bob Rock, morons!)

Basically, we won't get another St. Anger, I can garuntee, but we won't get another Master of Puppets cause they've been there, done that, wanna move on, do something different, like they've done with every album. They broke away from the thrash movement right after Kill em' All, for christ's sake, and they've been getting shit since then. So the baseless criticism is pointless.

If you know anything about Cliff, you'd know that he was inspired by so much other shit other than metal. He fucking loved jazz and classical. Metallica would've strayed even further from their roots if he stayed. Not that it would be a bad thing, or vice versa, but you know what I mean?

i do agree with you there and i know that Cliff was into jazz and parents were hippies and such. but what i mean is that I doubt Cliff would have gone along with a lot of the Bob Rock ideas.
 
Bob Rock would never have been a choice. It brought rock into metallica.
