I agree, posts like this run their course on themselves quite quickly.

I wasn't trying to seem defensive, just doing my best Obama impression to try and stimulate this thread.

As I see the situation from a bass player POV. Newstead is a far superior technical bassist, although he was also a much larger d-bag. Cliff Burton was cool, metal, and raw. He also had chops, but was sort of sloppy. So take your pick really.

You are right, Metallica has never been a bass players band.
