As the bus was skidding and rolling, Cliff fell out of a window and was crushed by the bus. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 759 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 - 9:46 am:    I remember when that happened. I sure didn't seem like 20 years ago. 57basstra Advanced Member Username: 57basstra Post Number: 377 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 - 9:57 am:    Rest in Peace, Cliff. hieronymous Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 52 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 - 12:41 pm:    Definitely a huge influence on me. alembic83 Junior Username: alembic83 Post Number: 19 Registered: 9-2004 Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 5:50 pm:    Cliff Burton has inspired a lot of people for sure. Besides being a great bass player, from all accounts it seems he was a real nice and down to earth person, too. I always feel sad that he never got the chance to realize his full potential. Still, he managed to make quite an impact with the time he had. RIP. Jason
