As much as we miss Cliff we will miss his father Ray Burton just as dearly.
Yes!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. Ray was a wonderful man
We will? Cliff's dad played on Master of Puppets?
I'm sad he's gone, but thankful he is with cliff, cliffs older brother and his wife
@@Funz2022 no, but he was an important part of the band after Cliff passed,he loved fans, now, Cliff came to this world thanks to Ray's balls, he is important, unlike, you.
Finally someone from Loudwire who did his homework before the interview.
IKR, but still gruhammed is a pretty ok interviewer
@@brianruberg2729 Nah
Brian Ruberg He’s too formatted. Too one dimensional
And he's gotten to where he thinks a big star himself
If they did their homework, they wouldn’t make Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?
Cliff's death was a catastrophy to whole music world
Magda Chlebicka Saw that wonderful human being 4x my friend. He was amazing intense live
@@thomasackerly7732 I saw him only in vids on UA-cam. In age 24 He had already composed so many incredible Songs, including an an anthem of metal instrumentals Orion and Holy Biblie of Bassist Anesthesia. Try to imagine, what songs he could have composed if he had survived!
Magda Chlebicka Metallica first 3albums are amazing. With him. I still have cassettes to them.When he pass i was home listening to Metal show call WRTN they broke the news i fell to floor when i heard it. The whole show was to him and band. But mostly him.
@@thomasackerly7732 You were lucky. I was born too late...
Magda Chlebicka Yes i was But both Parents are gone now. 80s where the best. Enjoy ur Metal friend. Take know shit from no one about our music. Have awesome day rest of the WK Metal till the END my friend
Music is not competition, we as metalheads need to stay united instead of hating and comparing each other. May our fallen metal brothers rest in peace and stay in our hearts and also let the ones that are still alive to keep rocking...metal will never die \m/
Awesome comment
Exactly!! Unfortunately, its looking like Ozzy might not make it too much longer the way he keeps getting hurt and sick at such a advanced age. Lets hope not!
No it don't seem to be looking great for him. I'm praying his not going to go in a hurry. Be awful to lose him. Such an icon in music he is 💖
Tell that to Mustaine.
Music is certainly a competition, but it isn't judged by a few losers based on who they think is best at putting the most notes in a measure.
This summer I'm going to cliff Burton's grave in Sweden with flowers
alex mani Cliff Burton’s grave is actually here in the California Bay Area. You must mean the crash site. RIP Cliff
@@NecesaryEvil yes there is a stone on the crash site where people bring flowers and guitar picks
@@NecesaryEvil Wasn't he cremated?
His ashes were spread in Maxwell Ranch where he had spent alot of time
Been there. It's really small and at the time didn't look very nice. It's memorable for sure, but I wish someone took better care of it
Can't believe that frank bello is 54!, he looks 35
So the Metallica Megadeth feud wasn’t as nasty as we’ve been told if they were going to each other’s shows back then
There really was no real feud it was just Dave trying to get back at those guys in Metallica and they for the most part just ignored him. And it still goes on like that to this day.
There are lots of pictures online of post metallica mustaine with Metallica, or gar and lars together, dave and cliff at a club etc. The thrash circle was very small in the mid 80s, especially for the artists,so they all ran with in the same crowd.
Seems like it was all a brotherhood between the big 4.
Media wants it to be a feud. Dave aside they have nothing against Metallica.
I don't know for sure, but I always got the impression that Cliff really didn't like Dave Mustaine. Also, does anyone remember the Metal Forces interviews wherein Mustaine threatens to kick both Lars's and Kirk's asses?
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I really miss cliff
And so do you
Yes I do
You´ve even borned m8?
@@antoniocenteno1483 You don't have to know sb yourself to miss him
@@magdachlebicka3895 BS! Is something you regreat if something, but you can´t miss someone when you wasn´t even alive, By your logic i could say i miss Frank Sinatra, yet i never experienced what it was to been alive when he was at the top, nevermind even listening to his music until my adult life, I regreat the fact i couldn´t experienced it, but i can´t miss him.
@@antoniocenteno1483 C'mon, I just responded to the comment that says "miss", nevermind the difference
You can hear the pain in Franks voice, man thats heartbreaking.
Rest Easy Cliff
Where is that? Sounds great.
@@fortworths pffff ahahaahahahah
Cliff is a classically trained musician. When you come from that background, you know what chords and notes correspond with what human emotion you want to target. So in Metallica, he targeted that sinister emotion and it made the band very heavy. Which is hard to do considering how fast they played.
I agree, but Cliff's playing also came from a place that was instinctive and emotive, which is ultimately the combination any band wants and needs. Educated but spontaneous, skilful but naive.
Both of these guys are legends. Ellefson is probably the most down to earth musician I’ve ever met.
I wonder if these two ever stop to think just how many lives they’ve influenced..🤔
I would just like to shake their hands and say thank you for everything they've done.
I agree. Met Dave a few years back and it seemed like I was talking to a buddy. No ego at all. Much respect....
I got to talk to him over zoom last summer, it couldn't have gone better. Oh and, small sidetone, Victor Wooten was in the same call.
@@willknox7273 mhm
People usually forgett that Anthrax for a while was the second biggest Thrash band, and they were the Fancy one.
Yes, Megadeth were the last to be induced into the big 4 chronologically ( Metallica then Anthrax then Slayer and then finally Megadeth in that order ), and that was well after they released Peace Sells...but who's buying, made the famous videos for the title track and Wake Up Dead which became singles and then MTV started playing the intro bassline. That was the album which catapulted Megadeth and Mustaine's musical stature.
Sainandan Ramakrishnan Anthrax was formed in July 1981, Metallica in October 1981. Not sure about Slayer.
@@vvar389 I am not talking about their formations. I am talking about at what point in their careers they clearly broke ahead of their peers in terms of recognition, into the big 4.
Sainandan Ramakrishnan Understood.
Radical Pacifist
Slayer was also founded in 1981, for sure. Their first album was in 1983, of course.
Cliff was a punk rock Mozart
More like Bach.
is it punk or thrash or what, I need help.
@@nabilyassin1742 it's thrash lol
@@sampeake4235 I knew that it is thrash, but a lot of people call him punk rock
@@nabilyassin1742 because of his love for Misfits
Gene and Paul laughed at Frank's impressions....then Frank got a bill in the mail from KISS, Inc.
Lmao..U know Gene,he never misses an opportunity to make a buck
Why bass players seemingly always coolest person in a band?
As I'm a pre-millenial, I was lucky enough to see Metallica with Cliff. Amazing.
I love how all them the big 4 were friends and had similar experiences with tours etc. How they made it to the top all together and have this brotherhood feeling. These guys knew from back then, James with Cliff together was the best duo someone could ever had for his band. If Cliff was still here with James they could have turned the music universe upside down fs.
3:39 im impressed with Frank's impressions of Paul and Gene. those are spot on
That's crazy, I didn't know the Metallica guys went to 'Deth shows in the mid 80s
ya got it backwards...dudes of Mega went to check out Metallica...---pay' tention
They did every now and then, but there was always tension. There is a story by Jeff Young where he felt embarrased because Mustaine was too high to play properly and Lars and James were watching.
Frank Bello is a very underrated bassist.
Yet his bass sound is what distinguishes Anthrax right away. I mean, you hear two bars of an Anthrax song and just by the bass, you KNOW it's them.
@@hugolafhugolaf exactly! he has his own bass sound and the way he plays with his fingers is great too.
@@brandocalrissian3294 I used to love how metallic he sounded. Literally, like banging two pipes together. I'm blanking on what his axe was, if I ever knew, but he probably got that sound by making the bridge pickup more trebley than the bass sound as a whole. But yeah, the first thing that grabbed me when I was getting into thrash was that bass sound that Bello had. Another guy with iron fingers, like Cliff -- if I didn't know he played fingerstyle I'd assume he used a pick.
Cliff and Hendrix, my two influences into my love for music and to play bass and guitar
Noice, I play bass and love both Frank Bello’s and David Ellefson. Anthrax and Megadeth are awesome. Altitudes and Attitudes are cool. I really love both Frank and Dave Jr’s bass playings, those two guys are awesome. Other than that, cool:).
I can’t get enough of the personal anekdotes, interviews, biographies and biopics.
Two of the best. I am a huge fan of both.
Same
There's 2 people I have to thank for playing the bass today.....my brother Billy for showing me how to play a single note on the bass while him and his drummer improvised a song.....and cliff burton for inspiring me to continue to play the bass and excel at it from cliffs incredible playing on Metallica records.....thank you cliff burton
So great to hear this guys! One day I want to visit Cliff's grave and pay my respects. Keep Rockin' guys! 🎶🥁🤘🏻🤘🏻DC
Met both of these guys as well as Charlie. Just regular dudes who made it.
Kerry King gets a bad rap but on 3 occasions I met him he was cool as hell.
Lombardo is all class too.
Lastly, having a smoke with Lemmy on several occasions on front of the Rainbow in LA was a trip.
That's cool they mentioned the song Pieces. Such a powerful, emotional tribute to Frank's brother.
5:25 Cliff+Lars+Jason+Dave ... Pffff!!!!
how crazy it would have been
I'm 35 and even as a teenager in school, I LOVED history. I enjoy hearing about instances at given times. I don't know exactly why. It's just... You can't only hear the story. You have to account for the atmosphere at the time, the culture, everything! So when you hear about things that are revolutionary, you might not see it as such. . But when you put it into the context of the era, you'll see. I'm an elder millennial and I LOVE early thrash, punk, grunge, everything. My own mother is who introduced me to 80's pop, grunge, and some fucking awesome music. Just...damn, I'm so glad these bands exist!! I wish I was living in an awesome era of rock music. But sadly, I live in the era of computer music. I am not against using a computer if you live in an apartment or something. But when you are a singer and have 15 writers writing the most basic shit for you to go out and sing, it's FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
Sorry for ranting.
Awesome guys, saw them opening for slash in hamburg. They were great !
I am glad my question was answered
I remember Headbangers Ball back in 90-91. Best of days.
A quality production, well done guys.
Cliff Burton @4:14
Thanks
Frank 'I refuse to age' Bello.
He still looks 30!
I play harmonica and sing in an original band now I'm middle aged, but back in the 80s thrash is what started me playing bass in a cover band and I've never looked back...and thanks to my early years I will love metal and bass forever!
Both those dudes are so fucking down to earth. I've always had a good time whenever I've spoken to them. Junior especially, you can ask him anything and he will spend time talking to you like a friend.
True gentlemen of the metal world. The world was never the same when Cliff died.
Never heard anyone who didn't love that guy.
Ellefson is just the coolest. I got to talk to him over zoom last summer, and he's every bit as nice as people say.
Medusa love that song...
Great!!!😎🤘
ellefsons voice is pretty much similar to daves, only kinda bolder.
They have the same name after all
I love that you guys got Seth Rogen to narrate
I get that all the time 😂
You never see David Ellefson and Owen Wilson in the same room.
where is the unedited version of this interview?
ua-cam.com/video/6teU0WlU0Zw/v-deo.html
That's the most clickbait (but actually no) title I've seen
It's not really clickbait
Sres de Loudwire, sería posible que subtitularan los videos en español (Spanish). Aumentarían enormemente las vistas a su canal y los likes. Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela.
I CANT EVEN FATHOM how much megadeth is my favorite band.. i just think of the bad omen bassline and im like fuck thats so sick
As young teens I remember me and my buddy in his basement finding out about Cliffs death in a metal magazine, like a month after it happened. Hit Parader, Circus, Metal Edge... great mags. Metal mags were the only place to get news on Metallica. I have no idea if our local rock stations brought the news at the time or not, we had no interest in the radio but we had a ton of metal mags, good times.
Excelente video desde Chile abrazo me encanta el rock metal ect genio y maestro cliff burton 🤘🤘🤘
6:27 i wonder if kirk was at the concert where everyone scream "kirk hammett sucka"😂😂😂😂
CLIFF EM ALL...!!!
Nice
These gentlemen need to get Tom Araya and Rob Trujillo both in on this bass-clinic shit. Imagine how many hits these videos would get then!
cliff would be proud to load and reload and also would have added a couple of covers of his famousp bands on the garage inc album.
Yup! I was at Clash of the Titans back in 1991 in San Antonio Texas. Megadeth did an autograph session at a Camelot music store, this guy right here Dave Ellefson was not a nice guy. Dave Mustaine is a super cool humble human being. I still got their autograph s
Megadeth is hiring for their bassist spot
Bizarre how Junior was friends with Lars, James and Cliff during the time in which Dave M. absolutely couldn't stand the former two.
When you guys do your Fact or Fiction interviews, do you go back and edit the Wikipedia pages to reflect the correct information?
The Four String Assassin, Cliff Burton.
Killer boots man!!!
Thank you!
Ellefson is hysterical lol
Anthrax told the story that they bought Metallica a toaster oven because they were so broke when they made their 1st East Coast tour. I think Scott Ian referred to Metallica's mainstay meal as "LOSER'S LUNCH"...baloney and cheese served on your hand because couldn't afford the bread.
Does any like Jason newsted as a bassist or just me
pink bastard2.0 naw man, newstead was great. he got such a raw deal to be a part of metallica when the bands pshyci was a fractured mess. they were emotionaly destroyed by cliffs death. but on the other hand, he got an awesome fucking deal to be a part of the metallica who just broke down the metal mainstream wall, and came charging through it to become household names and multi fucking millionaires. so yeah, i guess old jay dog did quite well for himself with metallica in the end.
You really need to check out his bass playing on Flotsam and Jetsams debut album. He really gives Steve Harris a run for his money. If only Metallica had made full use of his talents
Yes, I do.
@@buckypreseau7349 The band's "pshyci"? Psych?
But I agree. I love Jason; he had such good stage presence. Nobody else had that.
Not just you. I love it when Jason sings, lead or backup.. And it was more or less his bassplaying I got to know first
4:07…you're welcome!
And Lars Ulrich oldest sons favourite band was megadeth
Surprised Paul didn't throw a fit and ban him from the fan club
After Cliff died, David became the best bass player of the big 4
Bullshit. Just because Cliff died at a young age, you assume he was better than David Eleffson!! Fact is, Burton played on Kill em all which in fairness is a heavy guitar sounding album where any decent bass player could play along with. Master of Puppets and Ride the lightening have a few good songs where the bass stands out but he wasn't god. Steve Harris was 17 or 18 when he wrote The first Maiden album bass lines and lyrics and Killers was full of difficult bass lines. Burton gets too much credit for being this bass god. He was a good bass player.
@@1977moonchild1 "you assume he was better..." whole metal industry where guys like Frank Bello and Ellefson think of Cliff Burton as one of the biggest bass players. Cliff Burton played bass like it shouldnt be played and inspired a lot of people that a bass can be played fast and brutal. He showed the world that bassplayers could have a big place in a band if u just played like Cliff.
Stop talking bullshit.
Analkande Svert Stop talking shit mate. If you want to hear a bassist who showed the world and its children how a bass should sound like in a heavy sounding band, look no further than Geezer Butler. You go and listen to their first album Paranoid. Butler was years ahead of anything Cliff could have dreamed to come up with. A different class of player. Then there’s Steve Harris from Iron Maiden who undoubtably is the most influential bass player in Heavy metal. Burton was a great player for Metallica and accompanied Ulrich and Hetfield perfectly in what they did back in 82 to 86. Eleffson when you hear his isolated bass lines from the early megadeth albums like Peace sells.. you hear how talented he is. And as bass players go, and there’s many of them throughout the decades from the fifties onwards that have paved the way for such players.
@@1977moonchild1 Grow up fucking nerd.
Analkande Svert did you just use “nerd” as an insult? Oh hello stereotypical 80s movie bully.
No rock star attitude with these men. Just honest, real deal people. I was 15 years old, reading Circus magazine in my bedroom in Dale City, VA, and I was a weed-smoking , slam dancing guy: no crying. But I had tears in my eyes, reading about the bus flipping on the black ice, etc. RIP
Bass players in Thrash bands are like guys with normal jobs. They have to be civil and not tick off the guys in charge.
REST IN POWERCLIFF!!!!
When is the cliff part
It's funny how East Coast Anthrax were compared to the other Titans. Dave Ellison is talking about a band that gets out, looking all healthy and rich, and I missed who he was talking about, but he got as far as "Pea Coats" and I was like "Anthrax". The lead guitarist went to my high school. You always saw Scott Ian around seeing some band or other. Had it not been for them, I think New York would have been a little alienated from thrash.
omg you went to high schoo lwith Dan Spitz?? Any stories you could tell? or just anything about him?? i need to know!!
@@creamysauce7966 Sorry, he's a good bit older than me. I was like 12 when I first heard of Anthrax, so no social overlap.
@@jessejordache1869 I see.. what’s the name of the school??
@@creamysauce7966 Roosevelt High School
@@jessejordache1869 Thank you
So dave used to go to metallica shows in 86?
What's the song at the outro?
Tobias Forge should be the new bass player for Megadeth. He too should join Altitudes and Attitude with Frank Bello. May 31, 2021
Will Ferrell is to Chad Smith as Owen Wilson is to Dave Ellefson.
why lightening is my fave metallica album, cliffs writing
wheres the full interview?
ua-cam.com/video/6teU0WlU0Zw/v-deo.html
Met Ellefson. Nicest dude.
There was life before Nirvana 😂
Cliff Burton Rules
cliff is fuckin awesome
He sounds like the main character in "Let's go to Prison"
Cliff 'Em All
rip cliff burton
rip warrel dane
The narrator sounds like if Seth Rogen never became a stoner
I get that a lot 😂
Cliff is one of the best and we didnt get to see his potential. I think Les Claypool and Steve Harris are some of the best. I think Cliff keept Metallixa in Check. I doubt there would have been a black album if he was still around. So missed.
Cliff was bad ass no doubt about it, He would have only gotten better ,
"How come we're so poor?" Cause you spent all your money on drugs.
🤘🏻👁👃🏻👁🤘🏻
Jesus h man, Ellefson looks so old. My hero, is so old.
Maybe Cliff would have said fuck no! Keep it thrash.
Metallica today would have been a very different animal if Cliff was still alive. James and Lars do run Metallica and always have but they looked up to Cliff ALOT, especially when making band management decisions and how they looked to there fans.
Hey thats p100! Where is ken stieger!?
Is it me, or does that guy sound just like Seth rogen??
Dude yes lmao I'm surprised more people arent mentioning it lol
I get this a lot. So much so, in fact, I made a video about it. ua-cam.com/video/T3RKNk9Zj3o/v-deo.html
Cliff taught Metallica how to be diverse & mathematical. He would be very proud in the direction they have gone. Metallica is like a history book, any chapter (decade) you look at has a very different objective. And that is because they have a passion to grow.
If Cliff were still alive, Metallica wouldn't have lost their touch.
For sure. I'd also guess he would have done solo works.
For example Cliff was the Mikael Åkerfeldt and Steven Wilson within Metallica. The Brain one.
They never did. If he was alive they would have gone even softer and you would hate them more and be longing for Ron McGovney back.
I wonder what Cliff thinks about what recent thing David just went through with some girl fan we know Dave Mustaine is Pissed about it
Cliff doesn't think anything about it because he's dead.
@@nate-ds9tg I know just a funny afterlife Joke you know😂😂
Cliff doesn't think anything about it because he's dead.
