Metallica - Ray Burton's Acceptance Speech HD - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - 2009

[CAMMAN12391]

That was awesome, that just choked me up sooooo bad...

[IndianaJoel93]

That shot of Cliff's mother ripped a hole in my heart. And Ray, you are amazing, so brave, so humble, so charasmatic.

[squeapler]

I think that was probably the most awesome thing I ever saw or ever will see connected to a Rock Hall of Fame induction. Usually I hate those things, but if it brought some happiness to Cliff's parents and family then it was cool.

[FredDude27]

You know whats cool about Ray Burton? He could have rightly, and righteously, spent the whole speech talking about how great his own son was and noone would ever blame him! But instead he chose to talk about Metallica and other people. Ray is a standup and humble guy!

No wonder Cliff turned up to be such a cool dude :)

[tierna1981]

i liked this speech better that the other metallica members Xd

[daveanthonybrown]

There isn't a single living being who loves metal that doesn't love Cliff Burton!

What a talent!

[iamsdeathgod]

cliff was a great guy! he was influenced by all types of music and he had respect for every metal fan out there! he would love megadeth and for all that they achieved, maybe one of the reasons is that his best friend is in there, R.I.P. cliff!

[kabob998]

that man has the best sperm ever !!

[KingCliffBurton14]

i realize this was a happy ceremony and everything but its still depressing to think that possibly the best musician the band ever had couldnt be there

[LGDXJawsdakiller]

Ray Burton FTW

[dwd232321]

I bet Cliff's mom was hot when she was younger.

[icee562]

@dwd232321 u poor bastard

[stevedrums]

He's cute. very nice and moving.

[666uptheironss666]

haha 1:52 jason: isn't the guy talkin' about me?

[YeshuaISMessiah1]

CLIFF BURTON blew us all away when we first saw him wail on bass guitar.

to this day.i am shocked at his skill as well as his satge presence.we will never see another like him.he is an inspiration on my guitar playing! thank you cliff!lol!

[englishmorrison]

0:42 Cliff's mother <3

[HateSquad101]

@englishmorrison

That`s not Cliff`s mother. Jane Burton died in 2003.

[urnamesuxx]

I must have been hard for Cliff's dad to stay happy for all of this. Well, maybe he has gotten over it (the death of Cliff).

RIP Cliff Burton

[stevedrums]

@urnamesuxx You NEVER get over losing a child.

[tacomadc]

Seems like a very nice guy - God bless.

[44Musicfanatic]

was Ron McGovney invited to go ?

[Greasemonkey1982]

You can see why Cliff was such a good dude. His dad is a great man.

[xxxxxxxxxxvxxxxxxxxx]

One of the advantages of being an old fart...

I was able to see Metallica with Cliff Burton perform live many many years ago.

[JoniHdz95]

was Mustaine invited?

[rockersince1995]

@JoniHdz95 yeah,He declined to go

[Aenskyd]

@JoniHdz95 yeah he was invited, but not to be inducted. He actually declined and said that only a fool would think that he would go

[NeilFraudstrong]

Cliff's dad is so metal.

[themistoklas]

at the end of the video , the man with looong beard is Lars father... He is an ambient/noise/avant artist , check him

[lorand133]

[heavymetaleroful]

1:30 oh my God they are the wife and daughter of hetfield, they are beautiful

[odinmp5]

[FredDude27]

[Stangerlove]

[MsMetallicamania]
