lars ulrich'in kendisi hakkındaki yorumu.. gerçekten de haketmekte burton bunları;
''cliff burton was the man who had that wild spirit that makes a band like metallica a quality band. he wasn't only the bass player, or someone else in the band who co-write the songs, he was the man who made metallica reach the sky. after his death, metallica sold their souls for fame and fortune, things that he would never wanted to deal with. he'd never allowed all that "black album" to happen, and neither that damn "load" thing. when metallica lost their bass player, they also lost their soul.'' lars ulrich
