1. In the 23 years since the dramatic coach crash, no one has chronicled Burton's huge talent and achievements in book form. Why you are the first to write a biography about Cliff Burton? We are the feeling that he's a very enigmatic member, what do you think?Joel McIver: Hi man. It's a mystery to me why no-one has written a biography of Cliff before now. I've wanted to write one for a long time, and because both Metallica and the bass guitar are specialist subjects, I hope I've done the job which he deserves. Yes, he was quite an enigmatic man: from the many interviews with his friends and associates which I've done for the book, it's obvious that he didn't speak much -- but when he did, it was important.
2. Kirk Hammett provides foreword to first-ever Cliff Burton biography. Which informations or testimonies Kirk has brought?
Kirk gave a perspective that no-one else has on Cliff -- his closest friend in Metallica. He told me some surprising revelations about Master Of Puppets which you won't believe!
3. Were the causes of the accident on September 27,1986 identified?
No charges were brought against the driver. On the other hand, a lot of people think that there was no black ice on the road. It's an open verdict which has never been resolved.
4. What do you think about Death Magnetic new album? Good or bad album?
Average !
