To Live is to Die (Updated Edition)

To Live is to Die — The Life And Death Of Metallica’s Cliff Burton

• This is the revised and updated new edition.
• Metallica, 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.
