Who is Metallica?

Metallica was formed on October 15, 1981, by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Starting at the very beginning on February 10, 1962, Cliff Burton was born. On November 18 of the same year, Kirk Hammett was born. On March 4, 1963, Jason Newstead was born. On August 3 James Hetfield was born and on December 26 Lars Ulrich was born. These are the main members of the band Metallica. In early 1982, Metallica recorded “Hit the Lights” for the first Metal Massacre compilation. Guitarist Lloyd Grant was brought in to do the lead guitar solos on the track but was never a full member of the band. Desperate for a full-time lead guitarist, Ulrich posted an ad in the local newspapers. Dave Mustaine, a guitarist from the band Panic responded, and upon arrival started a sound check. Ulrich and Hetfield were so impressed with Mustaine’s soundcheck that they immediately asked him to join. A few months later the band recorded a full demo, No Life Till Leather, which quickly drew attention on the underground tape trading circuit. By this point bassist, Cliff Burton had also joined Metallica, lured from his band Trauma in exchange for the other members of Metallica relocating to the San Francisco area. Metallica won a Grammy in 2004 for St. Anger, the band’s seventh such award.The movie Some Kind Of Monster followed the album and offered an inside view into the daily affairs of Metallica like never before.It focused on the growing tensions within the band.Also, it fulfilled its actual purpose-the making of St.Anger. Many fans who had previously blasted St.Anger felt themselves going back to give the record a second chance.
