What band was Cliff Burton in before Metallica, and how did Metallica meet him?
Lars feeling unhappy with Ron McGovney’s role with the band, heard about a bassist in San Francisco from Brian Slagel. They went up to the Whisky a GoGo in Los Angeles and saw Cliff playing in the band, Trauma. They were so impressed that Lars took it upon himself to woo Cliff into joining the band.
