Experience the Commemoration of Late Metallica Bassist Cliff Burton on “Cliff Burton Day 2024”
On the weekend just past, the seventh annual Cliff Burton Day was observed, paying homage to the iconic Metallica legend and esteemed member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fаme. This commemorative event is officially recognized by Castro Valley, Cliff’s hometown, and the broader Alameda County. February 10th, 2024, would have marked Cliff’s 62nd birthday, and in keeping with tradition, host Nicholas Gomez engaged in conversations with Cliff’s family and close associates, reminiscing about their cherished moments with Cliff. Witness the heartfelt tribute below.
The interviews conducted in 2023 featured an array of individuals including Connie Burton, Lou Martin, Flemming Rasmussen from Sweet Silence Studios, Mike Overton of Trauma, John Gallagher of Raven, Deen Dell of Vio-Lence, Brian Lew and Harald Oimoen from the documentary and book “MurԀer in the Front Row,” photographer Gene Ambo, as well as local friends from Castro Valley such as Joe Cabral, Judd from Judd’s Barn, and Tony Martin. Their anecdotes and recollections of Cliff are both captivating and profound, deserving more attention than can be adequately captured in a single broadcast.
