The Death of the Legendary Bassist- Cliff Burton

In 1986, while Metallica was touring in Europe, the tour bus hit a patch of black ice in Sweden causing Cliff to be thrown out of the bus’ window and then crushed by the bus. This tragic event was a gigantic blow to the band that had risen so far so fast. In respect for Cliff, Metallica didn’t play the song Orion, track 7 on the album Master of Puppets arranged by Cliff, until the twentieth anniversary of the album release and Cliff’s death.

1986 - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying

Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying is an excellent album that combined both the new constant drive for speed and energy with the brutality of the band, Megadeth. The album had eight songs and lasted only 33 minutes. The album also featured another cover song, mimicking the first album’s “These Boots”, entitled I Ain’t Superstitious. Even though the album was a success within the underground metal community it was simply left in the enormous shadow that Metallica left them in with Master of Puppets.
