Tuesday marked the 25th anniversary of legendary Metallica bassist Cliff Burton's death. In an emotional interview with Revolver Magazine, Lars had the following to say about meeting Cliff:

I had just never really seen anything quite like it. It was just unique and so original. And there was just this incredible stage presence and this uniqueness to the whole vibe. I had just never seen anything like it. It was new, it was different. And obviously you could tell there was an incredible ability, and there was a stage presence, and all this type of stuff wrapped up in this incredible type of personality. And I think we were a little intimidated by him in the beginning because he was just so unique.
