Metallica – the seventh-biggest recording act in American history – are consummate musicians, but it wasn’t always that way. 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).

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.
