20 year cliff burton memorial

as noted on the fan site sanitarium, today marks the 20th anniversary of metallica bassist cliff burton's death. in honor of his life and work, various observances and celebrations will be held, including a listening party followed by band performances at the restaurant across the road from where metallica's tour bus tragically flipped over in sweden.

if you can't make it to sweden or to the event being held in kansas by the creator of knac's legendary metal show 'the vault' then put on your headphones and listen to cliff whip up a furious mess of strings and fingers on his most classic track: (anesthesia) pulling teeth (mp3)
