Clifford Lee Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was a bass guitarist best known for his work with the thrash/heavy metal band Metallica from 1982-86.
Burton's early influence was essential in creating the unique musical style for which Metallica became famous. Burton joined the band in 1982 and performed on their debut album, Kill 'Em All (the title of which came from him), which was composed of songs that had been written prior to Burton's arrival. Burton's influence was heavier on the follow-up, Ride the Lightning, which showcased the band's evolving compositional technique. Burton's final album with Metallica, Master of Puppets, was a critical and commercial success. Burton was killed in 1986 when their bus crashed in Sweden while the band was on tour promoting Master of Puppets.

I got really scared there for a second Porky.

my window wasn't open very big and all I saw was the picture on the headstone.

I thought that Weird Al died. :(

I've seen that memorial. Me and my dad drove by Ljungby last summer.

William Hung died of terminal obscurity...oh, he's not dead? My bad.
