Cliff is a classically trained musician. When you come from that background, you know what chords and notes correspond with what human emotion you want to target. So in Metallica, he targeted that sinister emotion and it made the band very heavy. Which is hard to do considering how fast they played.

I agree, but Cliff's playing also came from a place that was instinctive and emotive, which is ultimately the combination any band wants and needs. Educated but spontaneous, skilful but naive.

It's funny how East Coast Anthrax were compared to the other Titans. Dave Ellison is talking about a band that gets out, looking all healthy and rich, and I missed who he was talking about, but he got as far as "Pea Coats" and I was like "Anthrax". The lead guitarist went to my high school. You always saw Scott Ian around seeing some band or other. Had it not been for them, I think New York would have been a little alienated from thrash.

You go and listen to their first album Paranoid. Butler was years ahead of anything Cliff could have dreamed to come up with. A different class of player. Then there’s Steve Harris from Iron Maiden who undoubtably is the most influential bass player in Heavy metal. Burton was a great player for Metallica and accompanied Ulrich and Hetfield perfectly in what they did back in 82 to 86. Eleffson when you hear his isolated bass lines from the early megadeth albums like Peace sells.. you hear how talented he is. And as bass players go, and there’s many of them throughout the decades from the fifties onwards that have paved the way for such players.
