Metallica's 2nd bassist, and one of the greatest metal bassists of all time. Along with Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, he was one of the first metal bass players to play complex bass lines. He also liked to play loud and often soloed (with distortion, and sometimes wah). Because of this, some people have reffered to him as a "lead bassist".
He co-wrote several great metallica songs, including Master of Puppets and Orion (which was played at this funeral), and composed most of To Live is To Die, which was recorded as a tribute to Burton in metallicas ..And Justice for All album.
Cliff died September 27, 1986 after metallica's tour bus overturned in rural Swedan.
RIP Cliff Burton.
When a Man Lies He Murders
Some Part of the World These Are the Pale Deaths Which
Men Miscall Their Lives
All this I Cannot Bear
to Witness Any Longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take Me Home
A former NASCAR driver from South Boston, VA. Among his accomplishments, Ward won both the Daytona 500 and the Southern 500. A little-known fact is that, when poised to do a shot of Jaegermeister, one is well-informed to toast Ward Burton. The avid hunter or fisherman would benefit from checking out www.twbwf.org

A Hurtin Burton is an alcoholic beverage that was first introduced in 2011, in Halifax, Canada. The drink must be consumed at a strip club. It is a straight shot of vodka, and a stripper would lean over the shot glass and fart directly on the vodka. Once this is completed, the shot is ready to drink.
I went to the strip club last night and drank 4 Hurtin Burtons!
