Metallica's Bus Crash

Look at this story, when you watch all the Metallica footage and interviews from their early days this is what it looks like.

They are saying that Lars took over the band after the crash when Cliff Burton died, then look at their pictures.

Who is Cliff Burton anyway, in Trauma for one year and then in Metallica for three or four years or something, and this is just speculation.

Just look at their picture, Cliff Burton looks like a homeless drifter next to Kirk Hammet who looks rich.

Why was Cliff Burton so poor looking and Kirk and them not.

Here is the theory, Cliff Burton was traveling around with this stage set with the band Trauma, then they used all that on Metallica...they even look like they replaced the Trauma members on Cliff's set.

So did Cliff Burton live homeless with a traveling stage show in these old clothes with all his money into the band stage and stuff to stay out on the road, then he was touring Metallica on it.

That's because he looks broke with a band set they mean, and the other guys look rich

Then he took the other guys out with this stage show drifting.

Then he shows up right, at the launch of heavy metal in 1985 in these old clothes and bell bottoms from 1968.

So they come out onto the stage with Cliff running the band living on the road homeless with these old clothes running the band stage on tour with all this old equipment drifting or something.

Like he walks out onto the stage from 1968 or something in old bell bottoms in front of James Hetfield and them at the height of heavy metal in the 1980's, plus he could have been older than they say he is.

Then he crashes the bus at the height of heavy metal to kill Metallica at the height of the Master Of Puppets album, from Woodstock or something living in San Francisco in these old clothes and bell bottoms.

Like, never letting go of the 1960's in San Francisco...then homeless and broke with this traveling stage and old equipment is all he has and Metallica had to move to San Francisco to use it.

Then from his days of drifting on the road with the band stage in these old clothes and stuff he may have knew all the roads and highways, then he may have been leaning out of the bus window with mirror and flashlight to crash the bus on the road he knew.

Like he might have been practicing to do that, then when he knew the turn was coming he flashed the flash light into the mirror and reflected into the drivers eyes to blind him in the middle of the night driving, then from studying the back ice and road patterns that when he did that the driver would go into the turn blind, hit the ice and drive the bus off the road.

The point that he was a great bass player only makes the story worse, he could have been some drifter from the Woodstock Festival living in San Francisco and the great bass playing and traveling stage set to lure people in to be his victims.

Then in some last ditch effort he crashed the bus to kill Metallica in 1986 living in his old bell bottoms from 1968 or something.

Anyway, true or not hearing that if you watch Cliff Burton and follow the story the guy has all these crazy mannerisms like he was planning that or something or maybe planning that the whole time mocking them on the stage and in the videos on some ego trip, then he takes up most of the stage in the band and was was running the shows or something with his gear, while Kirk was better off than him and wearing brand new clothes and an expensive leather jacket.

Hearing all that the whole Cliff Burton thing looks bizzare, with him making all those crazy faces and stuff in these old worn out clothes from some traveling stage show.

I don't know though, after that Metallica cleaned up and got better record deals and stuff.

Like the bass playing was great but was he just doing that to lure people in to make a name for himself or something then to crash the tour bus.

That is just a theory, but when you say that and watch the early Metallica footage it definitely throws up tons of red flags for you with those old bell bottoms from the 1960's and that traveling stage thing, so if that's not it there is definitely something else going on there.

Correction - they are saying two different dates for the Metallica bus crash, Feb and Sept 1986...wikipedia says September 27, 1986...so I don't know...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Burton

Then the Toronto concert with Jason Newstead says September 12, 1986 which is before the accident on wkipedia.

I think the actual date of the accident was February.
