It was 20 years ago yesterday that Metallica bass guitarist Cliff Burton tragically died in a road accident in Sweden. His death was a huge loss and no other metal bassist before or since compares in terms of his charisma, musicianship and great clothes. Do you think anybody would still be into Misfits if it wasn't for Cliff wearing their shirts at every given opportunity? Yes that's right hipsters. The reason you are wearing a Misfits shirt is because of this guy. Ever heard of him? R.I.P Cliff.
this reminds both of how good Cliff was and how fucking awful Kirk Hammett is. he's an embarrassment to metal.

sorry, kids. some of us were into the misfits before we'd ever even heard of metallica.

He was also the first guy to wear flairs after 1984.

I was 14 when that happened—they did get me into the Misfits
