Cliff's Tone Sounds a Bit Like Mine...

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just taking a listen to the remastered version of Orion, and something about Cliff's tone from the Aria at around 2.15 struck me...
Metallica - Orion (Remastered & Extended Version) - YouTube

It sounds remarkably like my Thunderbird w/flats at 0.30...

Anyone else unknowingly copped/resembled a famous tone?

Cliff Burton's tone isn't great. At all.
You want to be able to play like him, but not sound like him LOL. His solo tone is good though.

Good deal!

Not a huge Metallica fan, but if it is something you like and are shooting for then good on you.

I think it would be a little more correct to say that your tone sounds like Cliff's , instead of Cliff's tone sounding like yours - Unless you recorded that before Cliff's recording.
Just saying...

I actually recorded that track in 1983, a good ten years before my birth
