Sign in to disble this ad
Before I hit the road, I thought I should put this up as I was reminded of the date when I first got up. This morning close around this time (or more accurately, around 11:30 Central time last night...) one talented and brilliant musician and man passed away 25 years ago. I know he is the subject of much debate on many threads here on TalkBass, but I think this is a good opportunity to just simply pay respects to a fellow brother on bass long gone.
Clifford Lee Burton, always a great and continuing inspiration for me on bass, Rest in Peace and God Bless...

25 years?! For me, he was THE Metall in ica. My buddy told me: "Hey, you like Deep Purple, Zeppelin and the more, you should listen to this..."
"Kill em All" the first time. And then there was this bass solo. Great artist. Good times. http://youchew.net/wiki/images/2/2b/Cliffburton.JPG |

Truly amazing how much he did at such a yound age. Truly unique and timeless, a true god amongst gods. Us bay area thrashers have been celebrating his life all day and will be into the night.
R.I.P Cliff
This ones for you!!! *raises beer up high*

Happy Birthday Genericusername! You share a Bday with one of my very good friends!

Although he gets a lot of flack here, think about this: he made three albums, over twenty-five years ago....and we STILL talk about him nearly daily here. I can think of only a handful of other bassists who fit that mold. RIP brother - you ARE missed.
