20. Biography Metallica, one of the biggest and most influential heavy metal/thrash metal bands of all time who has been putting out CD’s since 1983 and are still making more. Their current lineup of the band is James Hetfield on rhythm guitar and vocals, Kirk Hammett on lead guitar, Lars Ulrich on drums, and Robert Trujillo on bass though during the CD …And Justice for All the bassist was Jason Newsted because their old bassist Cliff Burton died in a bus crash two years before. The band was started in 1981 when drummer Lars Ulrich, who put an ad in a newspaper looking for a guitarist, a few days later the ad was answered by one James Hetfield. Later they found lead guitar player Dave Mustaine, who was kicked out of the band shortly after the release of their first album Kill ‘em All. Shortly after, they called one Kirk Hammett and asked if he wanted to join, he thought it was an April fool’s joke and agreed to join. The next day James gave a follow up call and Kirk realized this was now joke, they flew him in from northern California and the full front of Metallica was formed. After that, they released the CD’s Ride The Lightning, Garage Days, and Master of Puppets. Soon after the release of Master of Puppets, while touring in Sweden, there was a bus accident and the bus flipped and crashed, there was only on fatality in the crash. Sadly, it was Metallica’s own Cliff Burton. A few days later, they buried him and played a song that wasn’t released until the recent re- released on the album Master of Puppets, the song was called Orion. After that they recruited bass player Jason Newsted who played with them and made the CD’s …And Justice For All, Metallica (the black album), Garage Days Revisited, Load, ReLoad, and S&M, and then left the band for unknown reasons in early 2001. Two years later, they recruited their most recent member and current bass player Robert Trujillo. Together these four have been constantly touring and are still writing and releasing songs. Back
