:12:00
while the band was on tour in Sweden.
He was 24.

Metallica bassist Cliff Burton
was buried on Tuesday,
:12:08
in the San Francisco area.
The remaining members of the band...
:12:11
Jason Newsted.
He replaced Cliff Burton,
:12:14
who was killed in an auto accident
in September. Jason told MTV...
:12:19
It pisses me off that Cliff left us,
:12:23
because we'd never have that
initial four guys just going on and on.
:12:32
You know, when I talk about it,
it's like that happened for a reason.
:12:37
And we're... we're dealing with that.
:12:41
l got to capitalize
on what's being said right here.
:12:44
The Cliff message that I get
from him to you guys is,
:12:49
that treasure the three of you.
:12:53
Treasure every moment
that the three of you have.
:12:57
And the four of you have.
You know, treasure...
:13:00
treasure it, because you never know.
:13:05
And one of the sad things
that happens when somebody dies
:13:09
is that people have never
taken the time along the way
:13:13
to really embrace each other
every day. You know?
:13:18
It's a sin if, you know,
if you let that go.
:13:36
Phil has been like an angel for me.
:13:40
He's been sent to help me.
:13:45
And, you know, l've got my own thoughts
about all that, you know?
:13:49
A father figure, the dad
that never was, and all of that.
:13:52
That... it makes me comforted.
It comforts me.
:13:56
But also, we don't want to have
our hand held through life.
