Lars is a very good storyteller.
He also has exceptional command of English, his second language.
I remember hearing when Cliff died.
I was in 10th grade and had just gotten into metallica.
RIP.
"Traditional in his world view", yet a unconventional genius in his approach to playing Bass. R.I.P Cliff Burton.
Cliff seems like the type of guy who would invite his parents to every show. Just a genuine guy who wanted to show everyone he loved what he was up to
He feels like a guy we all know. It is such a shame he went way too soon. He seemed like a drink beers by a campfire type dude.
"Ok, fk it. I'm done with my bass parts. I'm going back to Castro Valley to get some Mexican food." is probably the most Bay Area thing I've ever heard anyone say and I've lived there all my life!😂 RIP Clifford Lee Burton
Who wouldn't want that? South Bay represent! 😎
Cliff said "ah fock it"
He’s been dead for thirty eight years
But never forgotten.
I have to hand it to Lars. I have listened to many interviews about what cliff was like but this is one of the few that actually added some things that I never knew about him.
Lars did a amazing job of painting a picture, with his words, telling what Cliff was like.
I like the dynamics of Cliff's personality. Bach and The Misfits. Bell bottoms and guns.
I find that anyone from the country who grows up being into city culture are very interesting and well balanced humans. They know the quiet life and that they can go back to it and be ok.
Best Faith No More era: with Jim Martin
Best Metallica era: with Cliff Burton
Agree friend saw Cliff 4x he was awesome amazing friend
the day i found out metallica is that closely related to one of my fav bands, mr bungle that they were both directly related to faith no more was kinda epic. that and finding out the bassist of another fav band, watchtower, had auditioned for metallica. go listen to watchtower, all the musicians are insane.
Gotta appreciate the way Lars talks about Cliff, still with so much appreciation and respect. I think Lars must be a very keen observer, to be able to recall all these big and small stories from the precious few years Cliff was with the band, giving those who never really met him a little insight into his personality. Cliff strikes me as man of many contradictions, quite set in own ways, yet very much open to explore many musical avenues (including ones that at first glance have very little to do with heavy music)
First time I heard about was Metallica was in September of '86 when a friend wore a shirt that said Metal Up Your Ass. Right before Cliff's passing.
Cliff is the most ideal bass player of all time
That would be Les Claypool.
It depends on the style of music you like.
Yeah exactly for me Tony Levin is a Ideal Bass Player
Definitely the best metal bass player and had he lived longer he may have become the best overall bass player as he was constantly improving. As it is though guys like Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Jaco Pastorius and Victor Wooten are on a different level because they were able to refine their sound over decades.
The moment when you hear all this stuff about what Cliff was like and you see some paralels with yourself...
Cliff was your vintage 80's metalhead ... without limiting himself to just being a fan of metal. Ahead of his time.
It's so weird to hear lars talk about Hayward/Castro valley but yes the great cliff burton was from here.
Having lived in CV and Hayward and being part of the metal scene there, I can say that Lars hit the nail on the head of how people are there. CV is one of the coolest places I've ever lived. Cliff definitely left an imprint there.
I was born and raised in Castro Valley. Moved to Dublin in eighth grade in 1978. I saw Metallica for thier Lighting tour at the Kabuki in SF. He was awesome. Obviously musically trained and a key song writer for Metallica. Their sound was never the same after he passed.
I grew up in Manteca but moved to the "big city" of CV in my late teens and early twenties. I was fortunate enough to be part of the metal scene in the East Bay and there just was no escaping Cliff's influence there. A grand thing.
I was there too
Lars: “Cliff was fiercely independent.”
Lars 1 minute later: “Me and James were more independent.”
He meant he was more independent in character and attitude. Sort of like how he wore bell bottoms even though everyone gave him shit for being out of style. When talking about him and James, he meant they were more independent in terms of location and being away from home.
Yes and I also got the sense Lars and James were more independent in terms of family. Cliff seemed more family oriented in comparison to James and Lars. @@morsteen
I think he meant Lars and James were more comfortable being out away from family and friends while cliff got more homesick
Lars' family had money , ..and he was as often in Europe schmoozing with hard rock n metal royalty lol . .Cliff was young enough to know he was in a great successful lil rock band, but he was a pothead jammer from NorCal first lol . .
Lars is a great guy. Don't get the hate at all.
@@hswizzle4208 Unless you two know Lars personally, Lars earlier on was a major dick - sooo many stories. Won't be surprised if he and Cliff always fought and didn't like each other. Lars was the same guy that didn't want to work with Bob Rock ever again after the Black album, bcs Rock stood up to Lars and his crazy bs. But obviously Lars reconsidered after the album's success
@@More-Cowbell-SlideGuitar-Harp you mean Dave. He was a real asshole back them. Lars was the most popular Metallica member when I got to know the band in 93. We had a lot of good stories about Lars, like when he made the NWOBHM compilation by himself, just to people know those bands or when he praise bands like Mercyful Fate and Venom giving new life for their career, or when he helped Cliffs sister to get clean of drugs, and ao on...
@ChristIsKing weakness. Capitalize Cliff's name OR you have ZERO CREDIBILITY.
@@TOMG12XU cliff is the best bass player ever
@@progfox Well done.
1:54 cliff was such a legend he was able to look like in his 50's being in his 20's LMAO
he looks gorgeous dont be mean
@@madeline7887 they're right tho, this is the worst pic ever taken of him lmao
@@stedmangg i know, i was just joking 😭
You're right and at least we get to see what he would "look" like if he was alive
@@madeline7887 I mean, he was cute ofc but some of his pics make him look waaay older than he really was ahahah
All of those guys were loaded with piss and vinegar (and alcohol) back then... fast-forward to now, Lars, Kirk, and James have mellowed out quite a bit with time. Curious what Cliff would be like now if he was still around, if he would have followed the same path, or if he's happier hanging out with the Abbott brothers in the big metal arena in the sky.
holy shit, imagine the Abbott brothers and Cliff in the same band....
Who knows but one can speculate that Metallica would have never been the same without cliff AND dave mustaine as much as they like to discredit him...his work was used in those early records and in turn helped them get their success.
@@TheFocus05 with Paul Baloff on vocals 🔥🔥
@@MetalJames1282 sure, but i was thinking 2000's era Anselmo, or '86 Hetfield.
GOAT of the metal genre...
Imagine how good he would be now...
RIP brother
@Michaelis Arcanjo Let's get one thing straight... Cliff wasn't in charge of Metallica.
@Michaelis Arcanjo You and many others seem to think that Cliff was some sort of mastermind behind Metallica. He wasn't. He was the bass player. That's it...
@Michaelis Arcanjo It has everything to do with your insinuation that Cliff would be doing whatever he wanted to do if he was still alive. He would have been told no, accepted it or got the boot.
@Michaelis Arcanjo Don't get so butthurt and fanboy out on Cliff. I'm 52, by the way. Enjoy that whole on Cliff's nuts thing you have going on.
You don't understand MetallicA at all. James was ready to sac Lars on the other two's urging, because the competition all had better drummers at speed. Times they were a changing. Lars got lucky. .plus he owned the name which kept him there for Puppets tour duration
Thank You
Clip `Em ALL ‼️🤘🔥
Was this from the podcast with Chris Jericho? I haven't heard it in a long time but you couldn't get a lot of material from it. Robert did Jericho's podcast too, you could probably get some good clips from it too.
Does anyone know where this clip is taken from? Who’s the interviewer and what’s the full interview?
Castro Valley... Rural! A nice way of saying FAFO. Class of '83'!
Cliff ❤
Lars Ulrich being interviewed while talking about Cliff Burton and his former bandmates is so good but sad and at same time
I feel Cliff on the beer and Mexican food for real
I highly doubt that Cliffs "world view" would mesh very well with the entertainment industry as we know it today . Personally I feel that perhaps we all need far more people with a "world view".
It's been 36 years without him, dang....
He'd be 60 years old now. 24 was way too young to die, and he was the oldest in the band at the time. Still just a kid. I was 14 when he died, and I'm 50 now. RIP Cliff.
I think I could relate to Cliff in a way. R.I.P. 😭
So Cliff was in the Zakk Wylde vein. My kind of dude.
I don't blame you cliff, I also like Mexican food and even more the one they prepare in all of California
No Mexocan food? No breakfast at dinner time? What's next, they don't have In N Out over there?
Fucking Cliff man, lol, he wanted his Dennys and Mexican food with some beer always. I don’t blame him. Life isn’t shit with out all that.
I think lars wakes up every day and picks a word like fiercely or "deep cut" and sets a goal to say it 35 times before he goes to bed
First time I've seen a picture of Cliff with that Ambelic Spoiler bass
What interview is this from?
i can never not wonder what if... CB❤
0:00 "He was very UMMMM"
Genius bass man unique sounds sad loss rip cliff.
I listened to Kill 'Em All, Lightning & Master this morning. Thought of Cliff the whole way
just imagine who and what cliff could have been today..
R.i.p. Cliff best metal bass player sorry geezer butler.
East Bay mentality at the time, things were different back then, totally get it
I totally get it, there was a fierce rivalry especially in high school sports between the East Bay and Peninsula. They referred to us on the Peninsula as "rich kids" but back then we were really all middle class.
@@SuckerFreeGear yep I grew up in Pacifica, back then it was Metallica and Y&T in the early 80's
@@billgabert3944 The music scene in the entire Bay Area was amazing back then and I loved the Bammies and Bam magazine. It's all dead now, so sad. By the way I hope Dave Meneketti from Y&T is doing alright last I heard he was sick with cancer.
Rip 🪦 Cliff Burton
RIP CLIFF YOU ARE MISSED🤘🙏🏼
I always got the feeling that Lars was the Member of Metallica who felt the least amount of sadness from the loss of Cliff... James and Kirk still get very emotional to this day when talking about Cliff. This is one the few times I've really heard Lars talk about Cliff since his death and he's never carried the weight of Cliffs death like James and Kirk.
That's because James, Dave & Cliff at one point wanted to Lars be gone, as he was an average drummer
Well i think there are many more clips / videos out there with James and Kirk ( especiallyJames ) talking about Cliff than Lars and of those there are some with raw emotion coming through. And who knows Lars may have felt while it’s terrible to feel anything but tremendous loss he may have felt as though he has the leadership / decision making role all to himself ? With Cliffs musical genius there is no doubt he would have steered that ship for sure !!! JMO
@@matttucker4269 Absolutely false BS you made up... 🤣🤡
Lars has openly said he doesn't like to talk about emotions in public but is an extremely sensitive person alone and one on one.
He's talked about cliff a lot and has praised him and has kept a very close relationship with his family.
He doesn't have to cry on camera just to prove he loved cliff
I lost someone very close to me but I don't usually show complete emotion when talking about it, everyone copes differently. Doesn't mean I don't care or didn't love who I lost.
Cliff was the best of the best. RIP you badass!
Cliff was my kinda dude
what do you mean there's no mexican food here 😧
Cool story
Basically, we would say that Cliff was, 'base af ' today! 🤟
"They were almost always in character." 😂
Hi Mikey, hope you're ok.
@@tonymcnamara9368 Tony! I'm hanging in there. I would complain but who would listen!? 🤣😂 I'm better than some, not as good as most. Did you see Lars playing Black Sabbath songs with Geezer Butler, Sebastian Bach, and the Foo Fighters? It was pretty cool! Hope all is well with you, too! You are one of the coolest people I've ever met on here! You kick ass! 🤘🏼
🔥🏆🔥
Hes the bass version of buckethead
Last of the Americans in Marin County.
How can you not love Mexican food! :)
CLIFF EM' ALL!
I have made a video on his birth chart according to Vedic astrology. He had two extremely malefic combinations called Kaal Sarp Dosh and Pitra Dosh.
Which video was it? I found one video on your channel that was 1min long that listed multiple celebrities who fit that alignment.
@@timtapp5931 On RUclips, search for Cliff Burton Kaal Sarp Dosh.
I wish metallica never lost him. 😔. He should've been their permanent bass player in my opinion.
@@mikeauxbig I was talking about cliff though not Jason. However I did like how Jason always said " mother fucker die" when they did creeping death live, lol
@@mikeauxbig Metallica is a bad fit for Rob. Robert Trujillo is highly skilled as a bass player. Rob has given more justice to Cliff's bass lines than Jason ever did. Metallica is happy cuz they have a solid bass player. They just don't know how to utilize all of Roberts skills.
@@PetePools rob is incredibly skilled i think hes in a similar situation to jason where he has to adapt to the others likings and not do his own thing really
Cliff have groove metal soul before groove were created
God, he was perfect.. I'd marry him if he didn't die before I was born, or marry a dude who's cool like him. Idgaf if he's famous either
I totally get it, life is not the same without Mexican food.
I double-dog-dare you to turn down CLIFF BURTON's bass tracks...
Cliff didn’t look his age
I'm a huge Cliff fan, always have been and always will be but I never understood the always flipping off the camera thing all the time. I see a lot of people do it and it's kinda pretentious to me. I could be wrong though. R.I.P. to a metal legend you'll always be missed.
Personally I have never liked having photos taken of me. Guess he had it the same way.
I agree. Shits whack.
I bet Burton would have been a conservative and would probably have been outspoken about it in todays world. I know James is but he wont talk.
That chick looked just like Sheri Currie.
Lars Umrich
9-27-86 RIP Metallica
Mexican Food!!!!
I Knew I Liked Cliff!!!
The undertaker
The way Metallica writes songs now a days is just so... "who gives a fck, theyll buy it anyways..." Ever since after the black album..
Simon and Garfunkel? Good grief, how could Cliff enjoy that?
What do you mean there is no mexican food?
In hindsight it seems as though cliff was not even a metalhead at all and it's actually kinda baffling why he joined Tallica in the first place.
Obviously Cliff was open to going with the musical terrain that was there with Metallica . He was a muso first and than a metal head . Also saw an old interview with Tom Araya and Kerry King the other day and Tom was not onto metal in the slightest when he joined Slayer . Kerry played Iron Maiden and Tom had no idea who they were .
He wanted to be in the best band he could be.
Cliff loved metal. His record collection is public and there’s plenty of Sabbath, Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Motörhead, Angel Witch, the works. Of course he was a metalhead. He just didn’t confine himself to one genre like an idiot and liked anything that sounded good to him.
i have even more respect for him, knowing he wouldn't be a stupid, gullible, liberal if he were alive today.
So, basically the polar opposite of "look at me, I'm Lars Ulrich".
The last note cliff ever played was B Flat
Your joke fell flat :P
Cliff was 3 of the very best part and soul of this band
next to Munstaine and Hammett
the rest i can care less than almost zero
So you don't like Metallica, big deal.
He was a conservative in a world of liberals!
Well by the true definition of a liberal he was extremely liberal.
Not this new type of fascism that seems to get called liberal as that has absolutely nothing to do with the true definition of it
Okay lunatic. It's funny that you racists think any great artists share your ignorance.
@@redrick8900 You're the racist. Don't project your identity politics on me you fascist pos.
@@barronvonschneider2834 If I was racist you would try to vote for me and when I lost you would attack the capital.
@@redrick8900 RAYCISSSMZ 😫😭 ! 😂
Cliff was the composer, his passing changed the sound of Metallica.
No he wasn't. He wasn't the leader of the band, as many people like to fantasize. They hired him. James and Lars always have and always will be in control of Metallica.
@@vcvortex6356 "They sucked when they ran out of Dave's and cliff riffs"
Dave who wrote about 4 songs and cliff who added about 6 riffs in entirely.
Not to take anything away but James and Lars wrote all the songs with some contributions from other members
Metallica changes their sound every album or two. Who died to make their sound completely change from Kill 'Em All to Lightning?
Cliff sounds way cooler than Lars
Huh?
Cliff was unique, that's probably why
Everyone is cooler than Lars
@@poonoo87 Lars js cool tho, sole reason metallica still exists
@@poonoo87 if you don't like Lars why do you listen to Metallica?
I swear Metallica would have never sucked if he lived, probably would have not gotten mainstream huge but they would have had better albums from the 90s onward.
Cliff wasn't in charge of anything at all. People like to think that, but he was just the 2nd bass player they hired.
Grim Reaper took a swing at Kirk, and missed. And what did we get? Justice with no Bass, and everything after just a parody of themselves. No one was left to keep James and Lars egos in check.
The bass on justice is an injustice but Metallica would have changed their style anyway, cliff wanted them to
@@deletedhero5579 Absolutely. Metallica evolved each album with and without Cliff. Just saying I believe they went off the rails after puppets. Lars is a tool for all but muting the bass on Justice. He wouldn't have dared try that with Cliff.
@@Syvtek Yea some say it's part of the hazing of Jason newsted but I find it hard to believe that they would ruin their own album purposely as a haze of their new bandmate. I believe either it was some sort of over emotion of it not being cliff on bass and a kind of statement or as James said a drummer and a guitarist trying to mix naturally will push the volume of their own instruments but who knows it shouldn't have happened haha eas a great album but the lack of bass sucks!
And you're absolutely right cliff would have never let his bass not be heard!
If you don't think you can hear the bass on Justice you really don't know anything about music.
@@redrick8900 I hear more bass than you recognize hyperbole. That being said, the bass is so low in the mix that Cliff could have laid down a bass track louder from the other side.
So Cliff wasn't progressive. That's nice, neither am I.
who cares ?
Nothing wrong with being old fashioned but I'm not gonna push that shit on other people, even if they do it to me, because it's in poor taste. But in the south things are different, he would have fit in perfect down here.
A average bass player who is glorified because he died young. That is what cliff Burton is like. Metallica sucks.
Actually he was held in high regards when he was alive and his knowledge of music is what made metallica famous but whatever . I guess there might be someone who values the opinion of the great Ryan Warner.
@@tiborosz1825hmmm maybe but I certainly don't value the opinion of Ryan Warner to be honest
@@deletedhero5579 why not? Dude makes a rockin cheeseburger!
Yeah, biggest band in the world sucks somehow. You know what else sucks? Pizza and oral sex. People love those too so they must suck, right?
RIP CLIFF BURTON!!
