James Burton

Simply one of the best guitarists ever, "Master of the Telecaster". Born in Louisiana in 1939, Burton got his start by playing in the house band of the Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport at the age of 14. Within his 50+ year career he has worked with everyone in the business including Ricky Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and yes the King himself, Mr. Elvis Presley from '69 to his death in '77.
He is an absolute pioneer of rock, country, and blues guitar, developing chicken pickin' and being the first to use light gauge strings so he could do wild bends.
He is considered the "Guitar Heroe's Guitar Hero" and was Elvis' favorite guitar player.

Cliff Burton

The Jimi Hendrix of bass guitar. Born February 10th, 1962 in Castro Valley, California. He was the bassist of Metallica from 1982 to 1986.

Metallica's first album Kill 'em All contained songs already composed before Cliff had joined, but his influence would become heavy on the band's later albums. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, which were landmarks in the heavy metal genre, both contained songs that were composed and polished to the level of commercial and critical success.

Alas, just like Hendrix, he died young. On September 27th, 1986, during a tour bus ride in rural Sweden, the bus slipped on black ice, causing the bus to overturn, and Cliff was crushed twice, killing him. Since then, the band has had two new bassists, Jason Newsted in 1986, and Robert Trujillo in 2003.

You should hear Cliff Burton's skills on (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth, on the intro of For Whom The Bell Tolls (Yes, it is actually Cliff's bass playing), and on the instrumental Orion.

RIP Cliff Burton
February 10th, 1962 - September 27th, 1986

Burtonesque

adj used to describe people, objects, actions or a kind of atmosphere/tone, which bare a resemblance in nature style to the films of acclaimed director Tim Burton. Burton's films are encapsulated by imaginative and fantastical worlds and characters, reminiscent of the horror films, folk tales and fairytales that bare influence upon the director. These films are characteristically surreal, avant-garde and expressionistic, the tone of which is commonly described as 'dark' and 'gothic' owing to Burton's romanticism and fascination with the macabre. Burton approaches uncomfortable topics with great wit and humour - as if laughing at the world for taking itself too seriously. Burton uses satire, irony and the anti-hero as a tools for social commentary, which is magnified by his juxtaposition of the cliche and the absurd. Johnny Depp says of Burton: "He is an artist, a genius, an oddball, an insane, brilliant, brave, hysterically funny, loyal, non-conformist, honest friend" (Burton on Burton revised edition). This statement is one's best reference for the term Burtonesque, as all of theses qualities are inherent in the films of Tim Burton.

The theater production had a burtonesque quality to it.

Burdon On Society Day

January 18th, when everyone is supposed to walk slowly, talk slowly, vandelize neighborhood signs, benches, fences, ect. If the day is on a school day, do not go to school, do not tell your parents you're not going to school, don't call in and let the school know, just don't go. Instead, go to a busy mall, get an empty cart, never buy anything but go to all the small stores and look at stuff in the thin isles for a long time. If you do buy something, buy it in unrolled nickles and dimes. If you have the pennies, thats a plus. Also, count out each coin at a time, and half way through pretend to mess up and start over. That is one of the thousands of things you can do on this day.

Justin ~"Man, did you see what Alan and Regan did on Burdon On Society Day?"
Cody ~ "Yeah, that bench with the car dealer's face on it had a cock in his mouth!"
