Metallica honor late bassist


Bass player Cliff Burton was member of Metallica since 1983, when their debut Kill 'Em All came out. He died in a tour bus accident in Europe on September 27, 1986. It was a huge loss for the band. However, they were able to get up and make great music even after Cliff's death. He was replaced with Jason Newsted who was kicked out of the band in 2001. Since then, Metallica's bass player post was held by ex-Suicidal Tendencies Robert Trujillo.

To remember late bassist, Metallica gave away 1984 show as a free download. It is an hour long concert that band played in Toulouse, France in November 1984.

Metallica posted on their Facebook on September 27, 2012 photo of Cliff Burton with a caption "We miss you". Then they added "While you're remembering Cliff on the 26th anniversary of his passing, give a listen to this free download from the 'Ride The Lightning' tour."

You can download the show here.
