Metallica's Cliff Burton

Today, February 10, 2012, would have been Cliff Burton’s 50th birthday.

The revered Metallica bassist played on the band’s first three albums — Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets. His charging, finger-picking basslines added much to the early Metallica and thrash metal music sound.

Burton was tragically killed almost 26 years ago when Metallica was on a European tour to support the Master Of Puppets album. The tour bus skidded off the road and crashed in southern Sweden killing Burton aged just 24 [...]

cGt2099   |  

Star Wars - The Book of Sith

Back in 2010, Lucasfilm put out a wonderful release called The Jedi Path: A Manual For Students Of The Force.

For those of you who have a predilection for the Dark Side though, you’re in luck: the Sith version is now coming.

Entitled Book Of Sith: Secrets Of The Dark Side, which was released today, is similar in nature to the previous Jedi version. [...]
