Cliff Burton (Metallica)
“Kicks Newsted's Ass”
“should be number one...”
“You people are stupid, Cliff Burton should be in the top ten, there are a lot of bassist better than Jaco whats his name, all he ever wrote was freaking elevator music”
“Cliff Burton should be on here in the top 10 atleast”
“These are the pale deaths which mean miscall their lives...”
“first bassist to have the balls to play complex bass lines instead of just pluking one sting for the whole song...”
“dude he should be number one. the best bassist ever...”
“now heres a real bass god. nobody can touch cliffs style of playing. fast as hell and technical as hell and original as hell. winning combo.”
“CRAZY N'AWESOME DUDE”
“Dude Cliff Burton Should be the best I think he kicks fleas ass. I mean fleas good but hes not that great. Cliff U are a god and you will always be our hearts forever we love you man!”
“You cant beat Cliff, just listen to Orion and you will be blown away. He was a genius deserves to be #1, I have to say Flea is very good but Cliff is a lot better.”
“Is clearly much better than Flea.”
“Cliff wins”
“Cliff is a freaking metal god
”
“Bow to the bass god no one is nearly as good as cliff”
“Song "Orion" says it all. No one else plays such great bass solos.”
“hes easily one of the greatest. one of the only to play the bass like a guitar”
“you guys ar freakin crazy man cliff burton isa hell of a lot better than flea”
“Listen to Anestthesia(pulling teeth). The song is just one long bass solo by cliff burton. Makes the basss sound like a guitar! Come on, he should be number one.”
“Cliff was an inspiration to many people.”
“CLIFF IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“hei dude!cliff number one bassist in the world.......
>"ORION" only answer to your doubt!!!!!!”
“Not Better than flea but had he not died he could have been R.I.P but metallica picked up newstead so its ok i guess”
“Cliff Burton is the best bass player in the world, simple as that. I mean, for a start you could actually hear what he was playing, plus it some times sounded like guitar playing and on top of all that, he music sounds good. Don't forget he was an amazing composer. Also to all those people that say he wasn't that good, remember, he died young, only leaving behind 3 albums. He didn't have the chance to release more music and prove how good he was.”
“Easily the Greatest Bassist of all time. He played with extreme speed and displayed serious technical prowess on a Bass, Not only was he amazingly fast, a great composer and a master of techniques like Harmonics but his riffs sounded incredible. Michael Balzary(aka Flea) can't really even compare to him, especially since their styles of playing are on opposite ends of the spectrum, its like comparing a Quarter back to a Running Back, They're playing the same game but have totally different skills and roles. Flea combines some mean Funk/Punk combonations like the song "Get Up and Jump" but Cliff Burton was a metal god. If you disagree listen to "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" from the album Kill 'em All. Cliff Burton-Fast, Technical, Original RIP”
“Cliff Burton is the Greatest Bassist in Rock Industry, Flea is only talented in Slaps, but can't compare to Cliff's technical and fast scales in bass. Check Out For Whom The Bell Tolls where Cliff is doing some Bass Solos and you will know who's the better.”
“CLIFF BURTON NUMBER ONE IF YOU DISAGREE SEARCH CLIFF BURTON BASS SOLO ON YOU TUBE”
“Cliff is an immense bass player. Listen to Anestesia (Pulling Teeth) or watch For whom the bell tolls with CB on Youtube. He is awesome”
“Deffinitly Cliff Burton was immense, For whom the bells toll brilliant And orion !”
“Cliff Burton had more creativity in one pinky than any of these other guys have in their collective bodies. He wrote most of Orion. And he didn't use a pick, by the way.”
“He lifted up Metallica, made them rock with his knowledge of theory, and let em slip when he died, Cliff was the best, no doubt, and we miss him so much”
“this guy is not only the heaviest sounding bass ever, he brought a classical kind of tone into 1st generation metal. if you cant respect him for that, then take into consideration his speedy style, his nice tone, and his downright heavyness.”
“Cliff DOES NOT play with a pick, only his fingers, and that's very impressive considering he was in a thrash metal band like Metallica. Fingerstyle is the way to do it. Cliff is the best ever. Flea is good, but Cliff knew way more about music and the different techniques in it. Cliff deserves to be number one on this list.”
“Cliff Burton was amazing for his age, finger playing in a thrash metak band is very rare to see. If he was still alive today he would extremly amazing on the bass”
“Cliff is the king of bass, no doubt about it...R.I.P...we love and miss you man...thank you for your wonderful music...”
“Cliff Burton is awesome.
I DARE that noob from Iron Maiden to ATTEMPT doing a full metallica set at Cliff Burton's level...
Cliff Burton pwns, get over it.”
“There so many people who should be in the top ten who are not, but lets face it, no one can touch the influence Cliff has had on bassists. He is the reason so many people play bass.”
“I wanna see another bassist take an instrument change it into a guitar and still kick ass. Cliff Burton is the bass god no doubt about it... finally some recognition.”
“he is da best bassist ever born
R.I.P Bro.... we all miss you n ur music.
”
“I Very Love Cliff Burton”
“Simply the Best”
“The King of Bass-without a doubt”
“the master of the bass guitar! gotta be crazy not to think so”
“Absolutely the worlds greatest bassist ever!! :D”
“Absolutely spine-chilling, pulling teeth makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. im just sad because he had to die. metallica were never the same without him . RIP Cliff Burton”

“Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth, orion and For whom the bell tolls got him to be the Number 1 bassits of all time”
“RIP Cliff...
He was just the best bassist of the world..”
“Listen to Orion people, his Bass solo in that is a lot better than most Guitar solos, nuff said.”
“Umm.. How is he number 1, I mean he's good but how is les claypool not even in the top ten, he's easily the greatest in the world”
“Cliff Burton was the most ingenious, creative and talented human being to ever pick up a bass guitar. The legacy he has left behind has blessed anyone who has cared to listen to it. The man was pure legend and his ability unsurpassed. Anyone who thinks there is a bassist out there, past or present who is/was as talented as Cliff, I pity you, for you are ignorant of what is plainly obvious.... Cliff Burton was a God. He lives in every true metallers heart and soul! Rest in Peace amigo, you are sorely missed”
“you guys ar freakin crazy man cliff burton isa hell of a lot better than flea ””
“Cliff Burton... every time I hear "Orion" or "For Whom The Bell Tolls", I think to what Metallica could have been with him the entire way. RIP, man. m/>_
“If you've ever played '(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth', you'd understand...”
“The Best Ever He Kicks Every Other Bassist In The Teeth.”
“Cliff Burton had the natural talent on the bass just as Jimi Hendrix had on guitar. He didn't even have to think, the bass was part of him. Thats what makes him the best of all time with no able to beat him ever... just like Jimi”
“Dude! Cliff is the best, I like Flea Really he is great Bassist but Cliff is the god of Bass!
God bless Cliff Burton!
Orion, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Anesthesia, Man these songs say everything!”
“just listen to his bass solos!”
“I'm not saying Flea sucks but Cliff owns him, he should be at least #1...”
“Cliff's brother died when he was young, and he swore that he would be the world's greatest bass player because of it.
he did.”
“the 1st time I herd Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) I literally had my jaw wide open I thought it was a guitar with all that distortion!”
“the best rock band ever! he is awesome!”
“Flea is good, but not better than Cliff.”
“instant legend the first time anybody heard anesthesia”
“what can I say? HE IS THE BEST.”
“CLIFF BURTON IS SIMPLY JUST AMAZING
”
“who's better?! cliff, or flea. well, they are both definitely geniuses. I never heard flea's true talent, but I know cliff was amazing. flea also plays the trumpet, like me. it's too hard to discover. well, for now, I'll go with cliff”
“His life was taken too soon. he was honestly among the best of bass players”
“I hate god for taking him away from Metallica Fans!!!”
“Cliff rocks, Metallica rocks.”
“Cliff Burton is the greatest bassist of all time and I'm counting Gene Simmons and Geezer Butler here so this is not a light comment he is my influence as an up and coming bass player and will continue to be even if I don't make it he will always be the best to me and any fool who thinks he's not can look him up on youtube any videos showing him will be more than enough proof”
“mann no one beats him
'best':p”
“I love the way he plays the bass guitar.”
“CLIFF the BEST... 4EVER”
“CLiff was unstoppable. if he was still alive nobody would be able to touch him. I can't believe flea is second. harris kicks his ass”
“Clifford Lee Burton has to be the best bassist in Thrash, in my opinion in any genre. He developed his own style, he makes a base sound like a guitar; he even impressed Lars and James. Hes the cause for the sound of Metallica...
R. I. P”
“the one who others will be judged by”
“Great bassist! cliff, flea, an johnny christ are all great but, CLIFF BURTON IS THE BEST! R. I. P. Cliff Burton. Metallica Rules!”

”
“if someone can make a bass sound like cliff does, imagine how good they'd be at shedding on a guitar... cliffs my hero RIP”
“Man, he was the best. I miss him in the band. Why isn't John Paul Jones on the list?”
