He has written for Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, and he is the occasional guest on BBC. He is currently the editor of Bass Guitar magazine. About the AuthorJoel McIver is the bestselling author of Justice for All: The Truth About Metallica which has been translated into 9 languages. Classic Rock magazine has called him "by some distance Britain's most prolific hard rock/metal author." He wrote the official biography of the world's biggest death metal band, Cannibal Corpse and co-wrote Megadeath's bio from bass player David Ellefson.
He was the first heavy metal bassist since Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler to regard the bass as a lead instrument, delivering intricate live solos based on classical fugues and even laying down a solo track on Metallica's debut album.Cliff's life was short but influential; his death was sudden and shocking. The driver, who has never been identified, told the rest of the band that the bus had hit black ice, leading to the accident; singer James Hetfield refused to believe him and has often spoken publicly about his doubts.With Cliff's death, Metallica's most critically acclaimed period of activity ended. They went on to record huge-selling albums, but by their own admission never pushed the creative envelope as radically as they had done in the first four years of their career. Their early career is marked by a gradual evolution from garage-level thrash to sophisticated, progressive heights - an evolution driven by their bass player, Cliff Burton.Burton pushed the band to new heights with his musical training, songwriting ability, and phenomenal bass skills across three albums: Kill 'Em All (1983), Ride The Lightning (1985) and Metallica's undisputed masterpiece, Master Of Puppets (1986). Metallica - the seventh-biggest recording act in

Being the only book about my hero MusicFreak I had to buy it. And you know what? I don't regret it one bit.As previous reviewers have said, there are some inaccuracies, but it's nothing major, in my opinion.The book's strength (as has also been previously mentioned) is the sheer amount of insights and anecdotes from people we haven't heard speaking about Cliff before. The insights provided by his longtime girlfriend, Corynne Lynn, and his close friends from Metallica's early days in San Francisco are fabulously revealing. They give us a glimpse behind the man . has me reconsidering Cliff William Irwin I'm a huge Metallica fan from way back in the day, and I saw Cliff on the Puppets tour. Cliff was definitely charismatic and stood for the "doing it on our terms" attitude that characterized Metallica in the early days. That said, I've always thought people attributed too much to Cliff in response to his untimely death. McIver's book has me seriously reconsidering that. I'm not a musician, and I find bass particularly hard to pick out and appreciate. McIver, though, is an accomplished bass player himself and brings
