The Early Beginnings

Metallica was assembled in Los Angeles, California, in late 1981 when Danish-born drummer Lars Ulrich placed an ad in a Los Angeles newspaper, The Recycler, which read, “Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden.”

Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement. Although he had not formed a band, Ulrich asked Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel if he could record a song for the label’s upcoming compilation album, Metal Massacre. Slagel accepted, and Ulrich recruited Hetfield to sing and play rhythm guitar. The band was officially formed in October 1981, five months after Ulrich and Hetfield first met.

A Metal Icon

Starting up at the same time as many prominent eighties metal bands, Metallica was and still are one of the best and the brightest. With James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Cliff Lee Burton, and Lars Ulrich, the band began playing large gigs. After releasing Mustaine, the band added guitarist Kirk Hammett, whose unique guitar-playing style became the style known as “heavy metal.” The band attained popularity nationwide in an underground metal scene after the release of their first album Kill ‘Em All in 1983.

One of the Most Influential Bands

Metallica has become one of the most powerful heavy metal bands of all time and is credited as one of the “big four” of thrash metal, together with Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth. The band has sold more than 110 million records worldwide, including an RIAA-certified 66 million and Nielsen SoundScan-reported 53,642,000 in the United Stats, making Metallica one of the most commercially successful bands of all time.

The writers of The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll said Metallica gave heavy metal “a much-needed charge.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine and Greg Prato of Allmusic said Metallica “developed the limits of thrash, using speed and volume, not for their own sake, but to enhance their intricately structured compositions,” and called the band “easily the best, most influential heavy metal band of the ’80s, responsible for bringing the music back to Earth.”
