IMO, Metallica without Cliff Burton is like Van Halen without David Lee Roth.... It's a different band that has most of the same members.
Did like their version of "Whiskey in the Bottle", though.

There are those who like all metallica eras.... and those who like everything up to the black album.
I'm from the group that only liked up through Puppets..... Justice actually turned me off from them. Everything after that was just![]()
