The Mighty Z at CapitalChaosTV.com caught up with TRAUMA - bassist Cliff Burton's pre-METALLICA band - at the Brick and Mortar Music Hall in San Francisco, CA on February 10th on what would have been Burton's 51st birthday. Check out the video interview below.
Previously released live footage from the night is also available.
Cliff Burton was killed in an accident on September 27th, 1986 at the age of 24 when the band's tour bus over-turned in rural southern Sweden. He was known for his "lead bass" approach, in which he allowed the bass to play a melodic and soloist role, in addition to holding down the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of Metallica.
