Metallica Lives On
"I know Cliff, more than anyone else in the band, would have been the first guy to give us a
kick in the ass, and wouldn’t want us to sit around. It’s what he would have wanted us to do."
-Lars
"Knowing Cliff's attitude, he'd kick our butts if we quit."
-James
"If we had hung it up, Cliff would've been so pissed off."
-Kirk
"There was a huge shadow there. I’d always looked up to [Cliff] so much."
-Jason
"People probably thought, ‘Oh, they're not going to do the heavy lyrics now because of what happened.’ Man, those lyrics mean a lot more to me now."
-James
