Out of hand biographyPar CustomerI liked a lot to be deep into that book. I learnt as much as about Cliff's life than Metallica's members ones. The story spreads by the book is very accurate and seems to be very well acquainted. More than reading about Cliff's life events, we can understand why he became that big great bass player, why Metallica picked him up, what he used to bring to the Metallica's early music, how he has been a big part in the Metallica family foundation and finally how he is directly or indirectly the Master of Puppets' writer, actually the more powerful, harmonic and melodic album among all the Metallica's albums.If you are into the technic of music, you'll be really happy to discover Cliff's influences and what he did with parts of what he listened. The three chapters about the three albums he played on are pure fun for music player because each song is dissected practically second by second and explain contributions of each player of the band to make each song a really big song in is own category.Cliff Burton did deserve a biography of that kind because he was certainly at that time one of the biggest bass player in the world. More than a bassist, he was a musician. To be perfectly aware about that fact, just pick up a bass and try to play melodies he composed, there are pure pieces of genius, you'll be bewitched by what you'll play, sometimes simple but greatly efficient and sometimes technically unreachable if you don't practice hours and hours but they all lead you to heaven where Cliff is actually teaching bass to God !Read it, it's fantastic and brilliant ...0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. la bio de cliff burton: une enveloppe videPar cantiant jeffbio tres decevante car au final on apprend que l'on possede tres peu d'infos sur ce grand artiste qu'etait le regrete cliff burton.les quelques details inedits que l'on apprends sont assez macabres a mon gout.cela dit la bio est tres bien ecrite style tres fluide,mais un peu trop de repetitions0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Excellent!Par H. MarcBouquin très précis (voire trop quand on n'est pas bassiste).Bien écrit, réellement agréable à lire grâce notamment à de nombreux témoignages. Présentation de l'éditeurMetallica, the seventh-biggest recording act in American history, are consummate musicians – but it wasn't always that way. A significant proportion of their playing expertise was acquired from a pivotal three- year period in their history – 1983 to 1986 – during which their music, a potent variant of thrash metal, evolved from garage level to sophisticated, progressive heights thanks to the teachings of their bass player, Cliff Burton. The San Francisco-raised Burton, born in 1962, pushed the band to new musical levels with his musical training, songwriting ability and phenomenal bass guitar skills. Across three albums – Kill 'Em All (1983), Ride The Lightning (1985), and Metallica's undisputed masterpiece, Master Of Puppets (1986) – Burton's awe-inspiring playing, derived from a unique blend of classical and punk approaches, received worldwide recognition from fans and bass players alike. He was the first heavy metal bassist since Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler to regard the bass as a lead instrument, delivering intricate live solos based on classical fugues and even laying down a solo track on Metallica's debut album. Cliff's life was short but influential; his death was sudden and shocking. At the age of just 24, he was killed when Metallica's tour bus overturned on a remote Swedish mountain road in the early hours of September 27, 1986 for reasons which have still not been ascertained: he was crushed to death after being thrown from his bunk through a window. The driver, who has never been identified, told the rest of the band that the bus had hit black ice, leading to the accident: singer James Hetfield refused to believe him and has often spoken publicly about his doubts. With Cliff's death, Metallica's most critically acclaimed period of activity ended. They went on to record huge-selling albums, but by their own admission never pushed the creative envelope as radically as they had done in the first four years of their career. In 2006, a group of dedicated Metallica fans unveiled a memorial to Cliff at the site of his death: the cult of Burton grows year on year, with bassists of many musical styles (even outside heavy metal) acknowledging his influence.Présentation de l'éditeurMetallica, the seventh-biggest recording act in American history, are consummate musicians – but it wasn't always that way.
