Metallica has to be one of the most influential heavy metal rock bands of the 80’s. They were not popular “Hair Bands” with catchy monster ballads. Metallica challenged the limits of thrash, by using music speed and volume for the sole purpose of pure musicality. Their music resembled intricately structured works of art with heart pounding beets that would engulf your ears.

 This genius band is compiled of four very talented musicians that demand pushing the envelope of how mainstream music is played; James Hatfield (lead vocals), Kirk Hammett (lead guitar), Lars Ulrich (drummer) and Robert Trujillo (bass guitar).

I still remember the first time I heard James Hatfield’s signature rhythm playing and voice growl, and Lars Ulrich’s thunderous and complex drumming, I was mesmerized. There was nothing out there that even came close to their style of playing.

 By the 1990’s Metallica had changed the rules for all heavy metal bands. They were respected as pioneers of true metal with substance to their music and message. Metallica has expanded its compositional technique and a more aggressive range of expression with lyrics dealing in more personal and social conscious issues.  They have been credited as one of the four biggest metal thrash bands in the company of Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.  Metallica has set forth a steady stream of pure metal-head fans.  

Metallica’s discography includes; Kill’ Em All (1983),  Ride The Lightning (1984), Master Of Puppets (1986),  …And Justice For All (1988),  Metallica (1991),  Load (1996), Reload (1997), St Anger (2003), and Death Magnetic (2008).
