And a rare radio interview with an extremely stoned and/or drunk Cliff in 1984, after the jump:

    That was fucking awesome! I am lucky that I saw the ’86 Puppets tour (Ozzy support), before they hit it big. It was absolutely amazing how many people were there early to see them open for Ozzy and how many people left during Ozzy’s show. The San Diego Sports Arena sounded like a 12,000 person sing-along for every fucking song.

    btw, the second one is already down from YouTube.

    It fuckin sucks that I never got to fully enjoy this guy. He really raised the bar for metal bassists.

    Great audio, Im 95% sure its taken from the Album that they released around when he died, Ive seen it on ebay numerous times over the past 8 years that Ive been into Burton. I started playing bass after hearing orion for the first time, since then hes been one of my biggest influences. The guy was a fucking genius. I wish i could have experienced anesthesia live, but ah the wonders of being born in ’89. But yeah man, Cliff motherfuckin Burton \m/
