I still remeber exactly what I was doing when it was announced on the Radio that he was dead. I was lucky enough to see Cliff Burton with Metallica when they opened for Ozzy. Master of Puppets is still the best album they ever recorded IMHO

I was listening to WVVX 103.1 in Chicago, they used to have an overnight program called R.P.M (real precious metal), The D.J, Scott Loftus was crying on the air (he was friends with the guys in Metalilca) and he made the announcement. Myself, and 3 of my friends all sat in my room in silence, crying with him.

And on a sidenote, and this is ABSOLUTELY true, I was dating a woman in northern California about 2 years ago, and Cliffs sister goes to her church(wont say her first name for privacy). I met her a few times and she is a great person, she loves to talk about Cliff and loves him very much. one time she was telling me how much he loved life, and music, and even though he died young ,he died happy doing what he loved to do. (I was struggling to hold back the tears)

22 yrs man has it been that long, I guess it has. Maybe I'll crack open a Half Gallon of Jim Beam to comemorate what I was doing at the time the announcement came over the radio.
