I didn’t realize he was still alive. He always seemed like a cool guy from the interviews. I always remember his interview on I think it was behind the music where he talked about Cliff having neck pain from headbanging. RIP. He really hung in there. 94? What a beast!”

Whereas bruzdnconfuzd said: “I Just found out about this a few minutes ago from another post, and it SUCKS. To see the energy he brought toward celebrating the band, supporting the band, you gotta believe that Cliff’s energy/spirit was still alive in Ray. He was the 5th member long before any of us could carry that fanboy nickname. He was the real deal. Cheers to you, Ray. Give Cliff a hug from us all.” Jason Newsted rejecting a Metallica money demand was just revealed.
