A lot of people maybe having travelling difficulties over seas because of the European, Icelandic volcanoe eruption…but even the legendary Metallica is having difficulties. The volcanic ash cloud forces Metallica to travel to concerts by bus instead of by plane. Metallica haven’t travelled by bus on tour in such a long time. The last time they did that was way back in the Cliff Burton days, which the legendary bass player got killed in a bus wreck.
Kirk Hammett admits it feels weird and different, because the buses are so much better today then they were in the past. He also admits, travelling by bus is bringing back memories of Cliff Burton’s death. They go back to remembering that horrific bus crash that day.
Billboard reports:
It’s amazing to me that these guys still love Cliff and how they’re still grieving for him to this day. Sad.
