Re: Timely Death? ..or dead before their time?
Cliff Burton - Untimely
I think if Cliff Burton had lived Metallica might have remained the amazing band they were for their 1st 3 albums. After he died, they really went down hill quick. It's apparent to me that he was the real guts of the band because after he was gome they quickly began doing all the things they said they would never do, like ballads and videos. They probably wouldn't be as popular as they became with their made-for-radio releases, but perphaps Cliff's existence would've saved the world from crap like "Enter Sandman" from being released.
