CLIFF BURTON
Clifford Lee Burton
His music will live forever

"Every once in awhile we may fall on our face, but we insist on doing what we wanna do."
(Cliff Burton in an interview)

Born: 10th of February 1962
Died: 27th of September 1986
Clifford Lee Burton nació a las 21:38 en el Eden Hospital situado en San Francisco, California.

There are several tributes to Cliff Burton on the web. We have
tried to make our tribute as complete as possible. We have put together
a collection of quotes from Cliff himself and others, his biography,
many little known facts and the equipment Cliff used. You will also
find over 100 pictures of Cliff and Metallica with Cliff.
We hope we truly convey who Cliff Burton was as a
person, a musician and someone that was loved and respected by all. We
didn't write the factual information, so we take no credit for that.
However our thoughts and feelings about Cliff Burton are our own.
To us, Cliff Burton was one of the most talented
musicians that ever lived. He could play the bass like you couldn't
believe. Cliff was a major part in making Metallica the band it is
today. A lot of the newer fans may not have a lot of knowledge about
Cliff Burton, but if they did, they would realize what a force in the
band he was. In our opinion there may never be another bassist to match
or beat Cliff Burton. He was definitely a ONE-OF-A-KIND! He will never be forgotten by people like us, the true fans of Metallica.








Clifford Lee Burton was born on February
10, 1962 at 9:38pm at the Eden Hospital in San Francisco, CA. His
parents were two San Francisco hippies, Jan and Ray Burton. It was from
them that Cliff got his image, his hippie ideals, but most of all, his
attitude. Ray was a native of Tennesse, and worked as an
Assistant Highway Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jan was a
native of California. She worked for the Castro Valley school district.
She taught students with disabilities. Cliff had a brother Scott David
and sister Connie. On May 19, 1975 Scott died at 11:50am on the way to
the hospital from a brain aneurysm.
Cliff began playing the piano when he was 6 years old.
He started playing the bass while a teenager. He took bass lessons from
September 1978 to January 1980. Cliff had his own style. He was really laid back,
relaxed and happy. Cliff liked his beer, his pot, etc. He drove a 1972
VW station wagon named "The Grasshopper". Cliff wore bell-bottoms, read
H. P. Lovecraft, liked Mexican food, pier fishing, hunting, jamming and
hanging out with his two best friends Dave and Jim. He grew up near San
Francisco with Faith No More guitarist, Jim Martin. Burton was a cross
between Clint Eastwood and E. F. Hutton. He didn't say much, but when
he did, people listened.



"We do what we want...... We don't care what anyone else thinks" ---Cliff Burton--- "From Cliff 'em All"





Back in late 1982, it was decided that former bassist Ron
McGovney wasn't really pulling his weight in Metallica. He wasn't
taking the band seriously, which James and Lars had a real problem
with. By that time, Metallica was beginning to go down. Lars and James
were having problems with their Lead Guitarist, Dave Mustaine, because
of his growing addictions and abuse of alcohol and drugs, and the
terrible conflicts that he and James had on stage were becoming more
frequent. Also James didn't want to sing anymore because he felt he
wasn't doing a good enough job, so he proposed that he play Rhythm
Guitar only.
Cliff was discovered in August of 1982. One of
Metallica's peer bands up north making the rounds about this time was
Trauma. In addition to being a favorite Bay-area club circuit draw, the
band was gaining recognition through their one-song demo, featuring
"Such a Shame" that eventually was transferred to vinyl on Metal
Massacre II. More noteworthy, however, Trauma possessed within its
ranks "the most head banging bassist" Lars and James had ever seen -
Cliff Burton.
They initially spotted him during a live Trauma show at
LA's Troubadour. Lars and James were very impressed by the way he
played the bass.

"We heard this wild solo going on and thought, 'I don't see any guitar
player up there.' It turned out it was the bass player, Cliff, with a
wah wah pedal and this mop of hair. He didn't care whether people were
there. He was looking down at his bass playing." --- James Hetfield ---

Metallica set out on a grand pursuit to get Cliff to join the
band. Burton presented the Los Angeles station band with an ultimatum,
'If Metallica relocated to San Francisco, he would join them.'
Metallica, with all their problems, relocated to San
Francisco, where they were better received than in Los Angeles. Their
first jam with Cliff occurred in the house of sound-man Mark Witaker,
where their was a studio type setup in his garage. At the time James
and Lars were living there, having relocated Metallica to the Bay Area
in 1983 to be closer to Cliff. They recorded a 4 track demo and on
March 5, 1983, Cliff played for the first time with Metallica at the
Stone, in San Francisco. This was the beginning of 3 1/2 incredible
years.





"When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this i cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home." --- Cliff Burton: "To Live Is To Die" ---



Cliff lived with his family in San Francisco, and for three and a
half years he worked hard to take Metallica to the top. After replacing
Ron McGovney in late 1982, Cliff instantly made a name for himself with
his classic "wind-mill" style of thrashing on stage, with his hair
flying out in all directions, and with his outdated, completely
"unfashionable" image. With his hair hanging straight down from him
head, he seemed seemed to be always dressed in a pair of bell-bottom
jeans and a faded denim jacket. If it was cold, he wore a flannel shirt
underneath.
Offstage, he was the ultimate laid-back Californian, a total
opposite from his wild, aggressive on-stage attack. His sense of humor
was great, as were his bass solos and everything about his stage
presence. He was the most visual of all the band on-stage, he would
just go wild. Cliff was also responsible for expanding the scope of
Metallica's lyrical themes. Along with Kirk, he admired the works of H.
P. Lovecraft.
The best example of how cool and unflappable Cliff was
happened in the summer of 1985 at their Castle Donnington Festival
appearance (August 17, 1985). Having ducked beneath a flying pear which
ended up embedding itself in his bass bin, Burton coolly sauntered over
to his stack, picked up the pear, took two bites out of it and hurled
it back into the crowd.
Cliff was also a fine and inventive soloist, and his
clever use of distortion and wah-wah in his "(Anesthesia) -- Pulling
Teeth" showpiece made it one of the highlights of the band's live set.
More importantly, Cliff was one hell of a nice guy and a much-loved
figure in the Metallica camp. He always went out of his way to talk to
the band's fans, no matter how tired he was. He was certainly the most
unanimously appreciated by the band members as well as by the public.
For a while there it really looked as if 1986 was gonna
be Metallica's year. After all, their third LP, Master of Puppets, had
literally taken the music world by storm and, in doing so, had made the
band virtual mega-stars in the eyes of the metal-doting public.
Metallica had finally "made it", and it seemed that nothing could halt
their inexorable rise to even greater glory. Then, during the European
leg of the group's phenomenally successful Master of Puppets world
tour, something went wrong - catastrophically wrong.





Aquí los miembros de Metallica narran lo ocurrido el 27 de septiembre de 1986:

¿Se acuerdan que en el foro anterior todos nos estabamos quejando del desempeño actual de Lars?
Yo sugerí que posiblemente la razón era que tenía que estar cuidadno a mocosos como este:



Encontré una información, (que ojalá recordara en que parte de "mis favoritos" lo guardé) donde decía que Lars se estaba acostumbrando a la vida como padre soltero. En pocas palabras: Anda con esos isoportables mocosos todo el día . Obvio por qué bajó su calidad como baterista, no tiene tiempo para consentrarse...

cabro chico qlo pesao, me cargan esos pendejos de mierda regalones y mimados.....porq chucha no lo dejan en la casa wn jugando play 3, xbox, wii y todas esas weas q seguramente debe tener?
