What do you think about Metallica? Yes
they are legend! Metallica is one of my favorite bands too and they are never
too old to me. Let me make you know more about Metallica.
Metallica is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles, California. The band's fast tempos,
instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship placed them as one of the founding
"big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax.
Metallica was formed in 1981 when James Hetfield responded to an
advertisement posted by drummer Lars Ulrich in a local newspaper. The
band's current line-up includes founders Hetfield (vocals, rhythm guitar) and
Ulrich (drums), longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, and bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined the band in
2003. Lead guitarist Dave Mustaine,
who went on to found Megadeth, bassists Ron McGovney (demos only), Cliff Burton (the first three
records, died in 1986), and Jason Newsted (from 1987 to 2001) are
former members of the band. Metallica collaborated over a long period with
producer Bob Rock, who produced all of the band's
albums from 1990 to 2003 and served as a temporary bassist between the
departure of Newsted and the hiring of Trujillo.
The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won
critical acclaim with its first four albums; the third album Master of Puppets (1986) was
described as one of the most influential and heaviest thrash metal albums.
Metallica achieved substantial commercial success with its eponymous fifth album—also known as The
Black Album—which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this
release the band expanded its musical direction, resulting in an album that
appealed to a more mainstream audience. In 2000, Metallica was among a number
of artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's
copyright-protected material for free without consent from any band member. A
settlement was reached and Napster became a pay-to-use service. Despite
reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. Anger (2003) alienated many
fans with the exclusion of guitar solos and the "steel-sounding" snare drum. A film titled Some Kind of
Monster documented the recording of St. Anger and
the tensions within the band during that time. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame
Metallica has released nine studio albums, four live albums,
five extended plays, 26 music videos, and 37 singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards and five of its albums
have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
The band's eponymous 1991 album has sold over 16 million copies in the United
States, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan Era. Metallica ranks as one
of the most
commercially successful bands of all time, having sold over 120
million records worldwide. Metallica has been listed as one of the greatest
artists of all time by many magazines, including Rolling Stone, which ranked them 61st
on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. As of December 2012, Metallica
is the third best-selling music artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking
sales in 1991, selling a total of 54.26 million albums in the United States
alone. In 2012, Metallica formed the independent record label Blackened
Recordings and took ownership of all of the band's albums and videos. The band
is currently in production of its tenth studio album, slated for a 2015
release.
