YouTube Preview ImageEarlier this week marked the 25th anniversary of the sad and untimely death of Metallica’s Cliff Burton. While many took time to remember the loss of the talented bassist, none was more poignant than this one. Ray Burton, Cliff’s 86 year-old father, took to the Internet to pay tribute to his son. He seems moved by the outpouring of support, but we particularly like around the 3:20 mark where he imitates his son. Ray Burton, you’re OK by us.
