Cliff Burton's Pinky?

In every single concert footage and pictures of him, his pinky is sticking straight out, almost like it's broken. At first, I thought he had just broken it, but like I said, every picture and every concert footage I could find has his pinky sticking out.

I tried playing some Metallica with the finger sticking out, and if anything it made it harder to keep up with two fingers, and forget about playing with three.

So does anyone know what happened/why he did this?
