Obligatory Cliff Burton Post

[rickenbastard]

30 year anniversary of his death today, shocked there wasn't already a post about it. I'll be cranked up extra loud tonight at practice.

[D.o.S.]

Maybe it would be more important if he was in a good band?

It was a good band when he was in it.

If anyone needs a good laugh i want you to go czech out the some kind of monster documentary. Its so hilarious. Its so pathetic its almost like they planned it out.

same as sabbath. 4 first albums are good. the rest don't need to be mentioned.

How dare you.

(in the case of sabbath maybe extend that to fucking everything they've done)

For reference
Heaven and Hell has one of the best A-sides by any band ever.

Tony has said the Gillan didn't work, but he's probably had too much Laney in his ears because Zero the Hero rules.

Speaking of rules, Tony Martin rules.

Then despite Tony Martin and Tyr kicking ass they got back Dio. Which while bad for the band resulted in more Dio Sabbath which is more good.

Then there was the whole Ozzy Dio bust up thing (good on ya Dio) and they got Tony Martin back. Which is rad. Except the album was originally an Iommi solo release. But still rad.

And somehow they got Ice-T on Forbidden. But it still resulted in this

And the cover art is great.

All sabbath is good sabbath. (seventh star is solo Iommi and not on the list above).

Same cannot be said for Metallica. It's got nothing to do with Lars - he could still play pretty ok after Cliff's death - there are some great beats on AJFA. Hetfield just got weird and started to write drivel.

Um. RIP Cliff.
