It still sounds fresh after 2 decades and it was mostly Cliff's baby. Who knows what else Cliff would've done if he had had the chance. Don't know much about him as a person, but a great loss to the metal community and to bassists. |

RIP bro...

A huge influence for me. And my all time fav bassist. Wish he was still alive. |

Check out Call of Ktulu and strain your ears. It's buried, but I remember getting ahold of the Ride the Lightning transcription book back in the day...it's a sleeper, but probably some of his best work.
RIP brother. |
