Beginnings
First contacts
Metallica is an American thrash metal band originally from Los Angeles, but based in San Francisco since February 1983. It was founded in 1981 in Los Angeles by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, who would be joined by Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney. . These two musicians were later replaced by guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Cliff Burton respectively, Dave Mustaine was fired a year after joining the band due to his excessive addiction to alcohol and his violent attitude, being replaced by Kirk Hammett (ex-guitarist of Exodus). Ron quits the band due to Dave Mustaine's bad behavior, which was violent and troublesome when under the influence of alcohol. The final straw was when Mustaine doused Ron's bass with beer, he unknowingly turned it on, receiving an electric shock. It is then, after contacting Cliff Burton that the band moved to San Francisco. (It should be noted that Ron knew that he was going to be fired and replaced by Cliff Burton). On the other hand, on September 27, 1986, was the death of Cliff Burton in a bus accident in Sweden, during one of his tours, this caused the entry to the group of Jason Newsted, who, after leaving fifteen years later, he would be replaced by the current bassist, Robert Trujillo.
To date, the band has released 10 studio albums, the last of these being Hardwired to Self Destruct, which was released worldwide on November 18, 2016. Metallica's total sales exceed 120 million,3 and they are considered part of the big four of thrash metal, along with Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.4 The name of the group was the idea of a friend of Lars named Ron Quintana,10 who had "Metalmania" and "Metallica" as possible names for a new musical fanzine, although he was more inclined towards the latter. Ulrich liked "Metallica" so much that it quickly came to him (Quintana) to name the fanzine "Metalmania." Thus, Ulrich and Hetfield's band took the name Metallica.11e la revista
