Cliff Burton - For Whom the Bell Tolls with bass solo

Cliff Burton was known best for his bass solos where he did what is usually reserved only for guitarists. He was also the backbone of Metallica's composing and musical theory which took a hit when he died in a tour bus accident.

Metallica was a great band

You might not have much idea about it from their performances over the last decade, but 20 years ago Metallica was a tight and impressive musical unit. With Cliff Burton on bass they had character and solid metal composition. Though some said the vocals were harsh, they are now considered quite gentle and mainstream. Truly Metallica was a band ahead of their times who suffered for being unrecognized innovators and have sinced lapsed into comfortable public performances not much varied than elevator music.
