Re: Timely Death? ..or dead before their time?
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ] Note re: "quick", Enter Sandman was released 5 years after Burton died. It's basically impossible to say what route the band would have taken because 5 years is a long time (longer than Cliff was even in the band). Lars and James are VERY strong personalities and I don't know if Cliff could have challenged them had James and Lars wanted the band to go in one direction. Oh, I almost forgot, Fade to Black could be considered a ballad.

OK, Metallica still would've probably gotten softer as time went on, but I think Cliff's presence might have kept them harder than they are today. I got to admit bias. Once Lars went against Napster, I couldn't stomach Metallica anymore. They had begun as such a blue collar for the people by the people band, that when multi-millionaire Lars starting harping on Napster it really turned me against the band...or him at least. I really figured James would get fed up, and Metallica's break-up was just around the corner, but apparently I was wrong. Wasn't the 1st time, and won't be the last.
