On This Day In 1986, We Lost METALLICA Bassist Cliff Burton

Today must be a bittersweet day for Metallica. It's the anniversary of the death of their bassist, Cliff Burton, who passed 29 years ago today, dying on tour in Europe, when the band's bus flipped after hitting a patch of black ice. Let's celebrate Cliff by remembering how much of a shredder the dude was. Here are some videos:
