Metallica’s has added new content to its fifth collection ever, “Orion A Tribute to Cliff Burton!” They just added over 150 Rare & Unseen Photos of Cliff! The band also shared a new video of a live performance of “(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth!” Watch it now! 

 

The band commented: We recently acquired hundreds of photos shot by late photographer Russ Marino in Detroit and Chicago in 1985 and 1986. While a few of the photos got the print treatment in magazines back in the ’80s, the vast majority – many of which are alternate images from the same shoot – are seeing daylight for the first time.

Also included are a handful of photos taken by our old friend Harald O, a heroic illustration by Juan Machado, and a digital copy of So What! Volume 20 – Issue 1 in its entirety for you to enjoy.

 

In case you missed it… the previous two releases featured interviews from close friends and big fans of Cliff. New to this exhibit are extensive conversations with Kirk Hammett, Flemming Rasmussen, Ron Quintana, Harald Oimoen, Death Angel’s Damien Sisson, and Mindforce’s Nick Haines.

This latest exhibition has all kinds of videos, photos, and interviews with Lars Ulrich, Robert Trujillo, Jason Newsted, Mike Bordin (Faith No More), David Ellefson (Kings of Thrash/Dieth/ex-Megadeth), Frank Bello of Anthrax, Becky Baldwin (Merciful Fate), Steve DiGiorgio (Testament/Death/Death To All), John Marshall, Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records, Brian Lew (Murder In the Front Row, Super7 Toys), Steffan Chirazi (So What magazine, The Metallica podcast), and so many more.
