In September 27, 1986 Metallicas tour bus crashed into a ditch in sweden killing Metallicas bassist Cliff Burton. After the tragedy Metallica started to look for a new member to fill Burtons place. The only broblem was that Burton had a really special and different style to his music. They didnt find any one who even came close so they looked for some one
totally different.

Cliff Burtons dream was to
invent a gun that shot knives instead of bullets.
