Forget Axl Rose - the great Cliff Burton would have turned fifty today. We have no idea what he would have accomplished had he lived past the age of twenty-four... if he would have been able to stop the debacle that Metallica became or if he would have been a willing participant in the shenanigans... [...]
Cliff Burton is a legend, there is no doubt about that, and fifty years ago today, on February 10th, 1962 he was brought into this world. He was infamously taken away from us on September 27, 1986, when Metallica's tour bus overturned while in Sweden. Cliff will forever be remembered as one of the most ...
Vi avevamo già raccontato del mega-concerto che i Metallica hanno tenuto al "Fillmore" lo scorso 10 dicembre per celebrare i trenta anni di attività. Ospiti incredibili (da Ozzy Osbourne e Geezer Butler dei Black Sabbath fino a Dave Mustaine ). Il lunghissimo live, che ha visto anche un commovente ricordo dello scomparso bassista Cliff Burton , è ora disponibile in streaming. Un recap (una sorta di riassunto) di ben 45 minuti che potete guardarvi nel video a inizio post, contenente i momenti migliori della serata. Ben poco da aggiungere alla [...]
In occasione della prima delle quattro serate del "30th Anniversary Shows", Jason Newsted è tornato nuovamente a suonare con i Metallica . Dopo una militanza di 15 anni, l'ex bassista aveva abbandonato la band nel 2001 per divergenze artistiche e personali con James Hetfield e Lars Ulrich, ma poi nel tempo ha ricucito i rapporti. Alla serata hanno partecipato tanti altri artisti e amici della band, tra cui il padre del compianto bassista Cliff Burton , morto a soli 24 anni. Dopo la pausa troverete molti altri video dell'evento. [...]
Hate is a train That thunders aimless through my head And hate is the fame Chained to the wheel until I'm dead And with these words, so begins "Hate Train," a previously unreleased song from the Death Magnetic sessions that the band performed last night as part of their four-night thirtieth anniversary celebration at the Fillmore [...]
While Metallica fans were either super pumped or totally confused and über-pissed off about the new single released, "The View," from the upcoming Lou Reed collaboration, Lulu, there was anothe
A few days ago we took a moment to remember Metallica's legendary late bassist Cliff Burton. A few days ago, his sweet 86 year old father, Ray Burton posted the above video thanking everybody and paying tribute to his lost son. It's a bittersweet video, with a great ending, definitely worth taking a few minutes ...
Rocks Off just acquired a four-string electric bass guitar, in the hopes that we can find some time to learn to actually use it. Our younger brother had let it collect dust in his room at home w... Continue reading "RIP Cliff Burton: Remembering Heaven's Favorite Bassist 25 Years Later" >
Wow, I can't believe it's been 25 years since original Metallica bassist, and seemingly cool-as-fuck dude Cliff Burton died in that tragic bus accident when their bus skidded off the road in the south of Sweden. Cliff was only 24 years old. Often since then, many have wondered what would have happened to Metallica, and ...
Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Cliff Burton, who remains one of the most influential and innovative bassists in the history of metal. And while we're aware that normally you'd have a moment of silence to commemorate a loved one's passing, well, we don't think Cliff would want a moment of silence [...]
One of the quirkiest and most unapologetically uncompromising films to be released this year was writer/director Spencer Susser's Sundance hit Hesher. The anarchic dark comedy stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Hey, we were just talking about that dude!) as the title character, a sort of heavy metal Mary Poppins who helps a grieving father (The Office's Rainn Wilson) and [...]
Il sito TMD ha scovato non si sa dove una registrazione inedita di Cliff Burton , compianto bassista dei Metallica scomparso prematuramente in un incidente stradale. L'assolo di basso che si può ascoltare nella clip risale al concerto tenutosi a Lund, Svezia, il 24 settembre 1986, tre soli giorni prima che l'artista perdesse la vita a pochi chilometri di distanza. Una vera perla per tutti i fan di vecchia data dei Metallica . Metallica: scoperta una clip audio inedita con un assolo di [...]
Remember how that slowed-down Justin Bieber track inspired our very good friend D.X. Ferris to slow down C.O.C. and D.R.I.? Well, now Cosmic Hearse have, rather brilliantly, slowed Metallica's Ride the Lightning down to 33rpm. And guess what? It actually sounds AWESOME. Like, I'm listening to "For Whom the Bell Tolls" right now, and it's blowing [...]
Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue.

Il sito italiano ZonaMetallica ha realizzato un interessante video documentario su Cliff Burton , leggendario bassista dei Metallica scomparso in un incidente stradale il 27 settembre 1986, a soli 24 anni. Un'ottima occasione per conoscere un grande musicista e ricordare quella grandissima band che erano i Metallica degli anni '80. A voi i video, subito dopo la pausa.

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. There weren't any real hot button topics this week, so we decided to just play a fun game that used to keep Vince and Axl occupied for many a lunch period when they [...]
top of the morning! for some reason, i have a feeling i am going to have a problem with this post. not cause its every been officially released, but because its metallica and we all know about their hatred of all things awesome on the internets. anyway, this is cliff burton's last show and took place in sweden on 9.26.86, he died the next day. there are a couple of recordings of this show, and this one goes by the name of today's hero, tomorrow's lost . its not an awesome recording, but its definitely listenable. 1.

So we had a lot of fun hanging out Nevermore's Jeff Loomis last night - definitely a very laid back and humble dude, considering that he could probably kill us all with his guitar playing. Attendees included MetalSucks' own Anton OyVey and Antonin Skullia, Esq., as well as Empyreon drummer Frank Godla (who, despite one [...]

È una vera e propria odissea quella che stanno passando in questi giorni i Metallica : impegnati nelle tappe europee del loro Death Magnetic Tour , per evitare la cancellazione dei concerti (per via della nube di cenere eruttata dall'impronunciabile vulcano islandese di Eyjafjallajökull) i 'tallica si sono visti costretti a riutilizzare l'autobus come mezzo di trasporto principale nonostante la shockante esperienza accorsagli nel 1986, quando il bus su cui si trovavano si capovolse prendendosi la vita del bassista ed amico Cliff Burton . Intervistato dall'agenzia di stampa internazionale Associated Press [...]
