With the rare-known photo shared by Metallica, which taken by world-renowned photographer Ross Halfin, the band celebrated Cliff Burton‘s birthday.

Also, during an interview with Let There Be Talk in the middle of January 2020, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who joined Metallica in 1983 after the firing of Dave Mustaine, has mentioned Cliff Burton‘s style and revealed unheard facts about him.
“We would call him ‘Pencil legs’ or we would call him ‘U-boat’ because he had big feet; thin legs and big feet, and we were always laughing at his bell-bottoms and at his Peddeleton’s and Denim jackets.
“He didn’t care. Turns out he was ahead of his time, but the funny thing is, I remember on tour he was, like, ‘Oh man, I need to get some more bell-bottoms.’”
