Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Among non-metal fans and hard rockers alike, Metallica is undeniably a household name. But few know that their style developed much of its sophistication under the guidance of their original bassist, Cliff Burton. Born and raised in San Francisco, Burton pushed the band to new musical levels with his training, songwriting, and exceptional skills on the bass. When Cliff was killed in 1986 — the band’s tour bus overturned on a Swedish mountain road — Metallica plummeted into despair and, by their own admission, never pushed the creative envelope as radically as they had done with Burton. This biography explores Cliff’s background, talent, and influence — one acknowledged by musicians of all kinds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five star book, Jul 23 2009
By Sylvain Bergeron (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
the first and only book about one the most influential metal bass guitar player of the century.

A very fine research done by McIver, insight from Burton's family, friends and bandmates.

Could have take a little more pictures but the text is rich with anecdotes and really reflects Cliff nature and gives you (yet) another point of view of the brilliant debut of the greatest metal band of the last decades.

A must have for any Metallica (and Cliff Burton) fan.
