"recently published interview"
What is the
recently published interview that claims to have been conducted with Cliff Burton hours before his death
you are talking about ? May I have a link ?
Since no link or proof was provided for that article, I removed it. - Keith
Added the song "Enter Sandman" to the song list that Cliff Burton contributed to. Many people do not know that he put his ideas in this song since it was put on album in 1991, but it says on the CD,(Metallica AKA The Black Album) that he did infact contribute to the musical process.
Clifford Lee Burton was the greatest bass player, ever. His creativity gave Metallica their leading edge when it comes to Metal. Don't believe me... Listen to Kill 'em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master of Puppets, listen to the detail in the songs, now listen to ...And Justice for All (good album, but not as good as their first three... NOTE: They also used some riffs Cliff wrote), Load/Reload, Garage Inc, St. Anger, the list goes on. The solos from their first three albums are, well the best in Metal, or at least thrash metal. Although Cliff did not play the electric guitar, he did help write up some riffs for his former band member, Kirk Hammett. It is very obvious that he had a major impact on the greatness of Metallica. If it wasn't for Cliff, I don't think Metallica would have been as big as they were back in the 80's. *RIP* Cliff

Bass Influences
I think that a possible influence on Burton is being overlooked, Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler.
In an interview Cliff specifically stated Steve Harris was not an influence, and also states: "Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, uh, Stanley Clark...Uh, Jimi Hendrix and Ulrich Roth, Shankar to a little degree, Maybe Tony Iommi...also had an influence."

So I'm taking off Steve Harris
His effects
