Joel Mciver - TO LIVE IS TO DIE – Cliff Burton his life halála and a Metallica hőskora

"I read the very first edition of this book when we were on tour with Metallica in 2008-2009, and I have to say, if you haven't had the chance to read it yet, don't miss it, it's one of the best biographies I've ever seen." Robb Flynn, Machine Head Metallica as it stands today is a perfect group of mature musicians, but it wasn't always that way. They also started as a garage band to get higher and higher step by step, and the engine of their musical development was Cliff Burton, who with his exceptional bass guitar and songwriting talent pulled the group higher and higher, from the Kill 'Em All album to Ride The Lightning to the band's peak performance, to Master Of Puppets. Cliff's life was dazzlingly prolific and tragically short, he died aged just 24 when the band's tour bus overturned on a Swedish mountain road. After his death, Metallica became world stars, but according to their own admission, they never again experienced such a creative period as in the first four years of their career. Cliff Burton's cult grows every year, and countless (not only metal) bass players bow their heads before his work. His biographical book has also sold many hundreds of thousands of copies, and is now being published for the first time in Hungarian - based on the latest, revised and expanded edition.
