    It's funny they laughed at the "...in the fridge?" comment. Me and friend escaped arrest for that very reason. We kept a Tupperware of weed in the fridge. A cop opened the fridge door, looked inside quick, and closed it. Meanwhile, they were tearing up the apartment, the cupboards, everything, and our weed slept undisturbed. Actually, we did get arrested for paraphernalia; we had a huge bong with enough resin to test. But we dodged a bigger bullet!

    There's another great story about Cliff when the band had to cross into East Germany briefly. (Back then Germany was still communist controlled in the east).
    And the border guards in East Germany weren't quite as lenient as other countries. They boarded the bus with those huge German Shepard to look around and cliff had a massive ball of, I think hash, and he ended up eating the whole thing right then and there to avoid capture lol.
    Luckily they had a couple off days because cliff was to the moon for a while.

My old band Social Unrest used to rehearse next to them. They would take a break and come drink beer in our room. Our drummers mom and Cliffs mom were both moms. Ha. No. They were best friends.

    "Sliding Door Moments". (what if...) It's possible if the cops had found Cliff's weed, they all get arrested, then they don't get back to the studio for a much longer period of time, then the album is released much later, a completely different tour is booked, and then, possibly, they aren't ever on that icy stretch of road that the bus crashed on. And maybe, just maybe, Cliff was never taken from us that night...

    I don't think the new generation realises how much harrassment people had to endure back then having long hair. it was ridiculous police did profile you for having long hair assuming they would find drugs. I remember going in to a Denny's restaurant the morning after a Motorhead concert in 1985 . in San leandro California. It was crazy the people in the restaurant looked at us like freaks. because it was a Sunday and we had long hair and rocker shirts and jeans. The waitress at the cash register stopped us. She said wait a minute and she went in the back and talked to someone probably the manager and then returned and led us to another section of the restaurant for meetings or party's separated by a sliding partition . So basically she placed us in a separate room alone So none of the other customer's had to see us. We both said cool 'Fuck it' we ordered beers to go with our morning breakfast and actually preferred not sitting next to those judgemental assholes. As Dave Mustaine sang in the lyrics "You say i'm not kind"..... "NOT YOUR KIND".
