    Cliff hit the nail on the head there, when he said, "This band (Metallica) is curious enough, to twist things around ".
    That statement alone reveals Metallica were never going to stay in the Thrash genre forever!
    I think if Cliff had been alive, the likes of Load and, to an extent Re - Load would have happened sooner, rather than later.

    • @Cake_Doge
      @Cake_Doge 3 года назад +40

      This is a rare opinion but I agree with that. The other guys mention that Cliff had widest musical perspective out of all including classical, rock, pop and so on. People blame Bob Rock for the Metallica which came after black album but the truth is that most of the songs were recording they hired Bob Rock and he actually made it better with more involvement in production. You can also find interviews where the guys say they wanted simpler, shorter songs and because Cliff's perspective was wider he would have approved and helped them with those albums but still this one of those never-ending what-if discussions.

    • @dowens3781
      @dowens3781 3 года назад +11

      Probably so - he loved classic rock and Southern rock. And there's more room for the bassist to do his own thing in those genres - in thrash metal the bass follows the guitar riff 90% of the time. In Sabbath, Geezer follows the guitar riffs quite a bit, but he also plays lots of licks in between and around the riffs, and underneath the guitar solos. Cliff to me was the Geezer Butler of thrash metal.
