Lars Ulrich talking about his last evening with Cliff Burton in 'Back to the Front' by Matt Taylor:

"Stockholm was such a great gig. We were relieved, obviously, that James was back on guitar and excited about going on to Denmark and rolling into the big time—Germany and Holland and Belgium and France and so on. It was just a really good show, and there was a joyous kind of mood on the bus. It wasn't particularly celebratory; nobody was up late partying or anything. We had a long drive to Denmark, and everybody was wiped. There'd been lots of interviews; lots of stuff happening.

Cliff and I were the last two guys up. We'd been playing cards at this little table near the center of the bus, just the two of us having this kind of moment with each other. It was nice. We'd definitely drifted apart a bit throughout 1986, so it was a personal sort of connection that we really hadn't experienced for a while, y'know? It was a sense of completion, a sense of loyalty. I don't think it was anything particularly deep; it was just a reaffirmation of our accomplishments. You know, a couple of guys buttoning up the day and getting reacquainted after some distance. We talked about the gig; we talked about the day; we talked about changes to the set list—stuff that was close and relevant to that day.

I think I was always more comfortable hanging out with the guys one-on-one. Things were much more sincere, then. The most honest dialogue, or the purest dialogue, or the most straightforward dialogue would usually happen between two guys. The more people there were talking, or the more people involved in the conversation, the sillier things got, or the more animated it got, or the more controlled it got. If there were six or seven of us sitting around, the conversation had one particular flavor, or one particular dynamic, but when it was just like, say, Cliff and I, then we wouldn't necessarily sit and talk a bunch of horseshit. It was more sincere, and on that night there was just sort of a relaxed, straightforward conversation between the two of us.
