    I am 13 and I just heard about Cliff in the last month, but I see how he plays and I say: wow, what an incredible bassist. and then I searched bass solos videos from him and I found one that almost made me cry, cause that solo was played september 26 1986, just a few hours before he died... and I also searched for interviews, he died becaus he got tha bed that was assigned to Kirk, and Kirk still thinks that it could have been him, and he wished that it was him and not Cliff :(

    look at his hands. the way they move. fluent;y, mechanically, and fast. you can see the practice in his playing. he was a great bass player.

    Cliff solos have a cool psychedelic element in them. Cliff is to bass as Jimi Hendrix is to guitar. Seriously he's a god, a bloody deity.

    I like his expression at 1:34 its like the first time he has every hit that note and he looks up looks to someone and it looks like he said wtf. I like that he was always innovating, pushing him self and ever since he left metallica have been going down the wrong road.
