If you could bring back to life ONE musician that died before their 35th birthday, who would you choose?

Cliff Burton.
Without a doubt my fav band would still be kicking out massive music instead of the drivel they do now.
Quoting: bloodcircle They still were kicking a lot of ass for the years after Burton's death... (arguably less from the Black album - S&M, depending on how you view the music.) Metallica's ultimate death came when Jason Newstead left... Burton was fantastic... Jason was an awesome replacement.... and this new dude, while a good bassist, just doesn't seem to fit... and the music since this new guy joined has been garbage. So true.. Trujillo is not 'tallica stuff imo. (I changed the video in my post too, to the real song). I just could never get into 'much' after justice.. it seemed to go downhill, fast. Sad really, I grew up on old metallica. and I was one of the people who raged loudly on usenet at the time lol I met Jason in melbourne in 1986, he was actually the only one who stopped to talk to me, Lars just joked I was wet (from the water being spreayed on us) and James shook my hand and meandered on. Kirk signed my jacket, but didn't say much... Jason was the only only one to seem genuinely happy so meet a fan. So I give him credit for being a top bloke, and trying... but I think after Cliff died, they all lost their direction. He was the maniac. The hippy pot smoking bass player with a flair for hair. ;) not a big Metallica fan, but he was certainly skilled. How'd he die? Touring in Sweden, the Metallica bus hit a patch of ice and ended up on its side on the road. James, Kirk, and Lars got out unscathed but Cliff was crushed under the bus.
