Cliff Burton was a genius, and the first 4 albums were the Bible of Metal, then not only they made albums that suck, such as ReLoad or St. Anger, they also soldout in a unbelivable way, now with Metallica By Request you'll have to pay money to see not one but 3 DVD's of their concerts, because they bundled it and sold it to you, this is just ridicolous
