GoogleBooks: Metallica, the seventh-largest band sold in American history, played by unsurpassed musicians, but that was not always the case. Much of the experience of the game was acquired by them during the most important three-year period of the band's history from 1983 to 1986, during which their music, which is a powerful form of thrash metal, developed from a garage level to complex, progressive heights - thanks to the lessons of their bass guitarist, Cliff Burton . Growing up in San Francisco, Burton was born in 1962, and raised the band to new musical heights through his musical education, ability to write songs and phenomenal bass guitar skills. Throughout the three albums, Kill 'Em All "(1983)," Ride The Lightning "(1984) and the undisputed masterpiece of" Metallica "-" Master Of Puppets "(1986), an impressive game of Burton, obtained with a unique combination of classical and punk approach , Received international recognition both from fans of the band and from bass players. He was the first heavy metal bass player, following Gisler Butler of Black Sabbath, who regarded the bass guitar as the leading instrument, performing complex solo parts based on classical fugues and even having recorded a solo number on the debut album Metallica. The life of Cliff was short, but influential; His death became sudden and shocking. He was overtaken by death at the age of 24, when Metallica's tour bus rolled over on a remote Swedish mountain road in the early morning of September 27, 1986 for reasons that are not yet established: he was crushed to death after being thrown out of his sleeping cot through window. The driver, whose name was never disclosed, told the remaining members of the group that the bus had hit the ice, which led to a car crash: vocalist James Hatfield refused to believe him, and everything openly expresses his doubts about this. After Cliff's death, the critically acclaimed period of activity of the group ended. They continued to record albums that appeared in huge editions, but by their own admission, they never went beyond creative as radically as it was with Burton. In 2006, a group of dedicated fans of "Metallica" opened the memorial to Cliff on the site of his death: the cult of Burton grows year after year, and bass players of many musical styles (even outside heavy metal) recognize his influence on his work.
