Rating: Summary: One Rule: BURTON IS GOD!!!! Review: Oh how I miss Master Burton. Its so unfortunate that he died when his tour bus flipped over and it was all the more sad that I found this out when I just became a huge fan of his. He is God of bass and can really be matched by no bass player, not even John Deacon (Queen) or John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), hell they dont even come within a hundred lightyears of Cliffs godliness. Cliff deserved so much more than what he got and its videos like these that remind me of the good old days of Metallica, not when they and they're music went to hell with 'Load'.
When Cliff died it only led me to believe "What if?" and that question has been plaguing my thoughts ever since. If Cliff hadn't been killed than it seems to me that Metallica WOULD release the follow up to Master of Puppets called ...And Justice for All but wouldn't release crap like the Loads or St. Anger. Maybe they would have made thrash popular and destroy hairmetal before horrible grunge (besides Nirvana) and nu-metal surfaced. Cliff you were the heart of Metallica and without you the band will never relive what they started, may God rest your soul and lead you to...ETERNAL THRASH!!!! YEAH WE KNOW YOU WANT THAT!
Right, about this DVD. This really brings out the Godliness of Burton with 'Sanitarium' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' being the best live songs. James, Kirk and Lars arent half bad themselves in fact they really are quite amazing here as well but its Master Burton that really shines on this DVD. I couldn't really say anything that hasn't already been said about this masterpiece. So this is for ANY Metallica fan that is willing to spend $20, which shouldn't be too difficult. Just buy it dammit and see the Jimi Hendrix of bass!
Rating: Summary: This happened with Sabbath Live in 78 Review: Why must people complain about the quality of a legal bootleg recording. This aggravates me. This DVD is so beautiful and is the perfect look back on Cliff. And you people complain about quality. Just listen to what you're hearing. You'll be stunned. They guys playing LEAD BASS. No one ever did that before. And now you can see him performing and hear him soloing on excellent bootlegs that the band got hold of after his death and released as a tribute to them. How dare anyone insult anything with Cliff on it. That's blasphemy. I would pay anything for this. And you people complain because you couldn't get it at the same time as your britney spears cd. Well who cares about you. You are merely being a d**che and getting in the way of more people experiencing this. You are therefore slowing down civilization by tricking people into not buying this you filthy d**chbags.
Rating: Summary: After I watched this I cried for 10 minutes. Review: Why the heck is this 17 year old bootleg-quality DVD so freaking expensive? Gee, could it be that the latter-day Hetfield is cashing in on the late, great Cliff, so he can buy that nifty Aston-Martin to add to his collection? Nooo, there's no way that they could be that brazenly sold out. Wait a second - what's that you're telling me about Lars Ulrich and Napster? And that his drumming su_cks too? Oh my goodness.
Rating: Summary: Best DVD by Metallica Review: I bought this and Cunning stunts not too long ago. I was disappointed with Cunning stunts, but this one was awesome. The songs here are much better played, and this was when Metallica was in it for the music not money!(Like they seem to be today, although I like some of their new stuff too). All the songs are great played especially "Seek and Destroy" "Sanatarium" "Fade to Black" "Creeping Death" and "From whom the bell tolls".The quality was much better then I expected due to how horrible people said it was. Of course the quality isnt the best audio and video vise but the songs are AWESOME and thats whats matters!(James said a similar thing too). Also there is a funny interview with Cliff and James where they talk about people thinking they were sell out. Cliff said "We are doing what we want to and if they consider that selling out then whatever" Cliff seemed like a pretty cool guy and he was very talented , much better then the bassist that Metallica have today! I think this DVD shows how talented Metallica were in the 80s. In my opinion they were at their best then.
Rating: Summary: A talent like no other... Review: I became interested in Metallica during their "black album" years and had never given much thought to their pre-Jason Newsted years. The more I got into Metallica the more I learned that Cliff was the foundation of the band. So I decided to purchase this DVD to see what was so special with this man. I get choked up while typing this review thinking of the sheer talent of this individual. If you watch and really listen to tracks 8 and 18 you understand the depth of his passing and how TRULY talented this man was. Metallica is a great band-no doubt. But the Metallica that ruled the world with Cliff Burton as their bassist will always be an 'effing' great band.
