Metallica emerged in the '80s as one of metal's brightest new stars. The upstart rock band consisted of singer/guitarist James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett, drummer Lars Ulrich and bassist Cliff Burton and these "four horsemen" rode to the top of the metal genre on the strength of the 'Kill 'Em All', 'Ride the Lightning' and 'Master of Puppets' albums.

But on Sept. 27, 1986, in the midst of a European tour, tragedy struck as Burton was killed in a bus crash.

In this mini Metallica documentary we look at some lingering questions about the legendary bassist. What was it that Cliff Burton added to the band? And why is it that to this day, there’s a moniker among Metallica fans toward the four-string shredder …Metallica’s secret weapon.
