A MOMENT OF RACKET FOR CLIFF BURTON

Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Cliff Burton, who remains one of the most influential and innovative bassists in the history of metal. And while we’re aware that normally you’d have a moment of silence to commemorate a loved one’s passing, well, we don’t think Cliff would want a moment of silence at all. The dude devoted his life to METAL — clearly, he’d want us all to make as much noise in his honor as possible.

So here’s all of Cliff’s bass solos from the Cliff ‘Em All DVD. This might truly be the most glorious racket we can imagine. R.I.P., Cliff.
