Metallica

The band "metallica" was started in the year 1981 from California.They are most popular as the heavy metal band who  did 'Enter Sandman'. Metallica, dominated heavy metal music in the 1980s and 1990s, rising as one of the top musical acts in history by the  end of the century.

Drummer Lars Ulrich ( born in 26 December 1963) and guitarist James Hetfield ( born in 3 August 1963) started the  band in 1981. After a few schedule changes which  included guitarist Dave Mustaine, who left in 1982 to form  the band Megadeath, and released ‘Kill 'Em All’ in 1983 and toured the U.S. with Ulrich, Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett (18 November  1962) and bass player Cliff Burton (10 February 1962).

In 1986 the band released the album “ Master of Puppets”, signalling  their  evolution from speed metal thrashers to serious songsmiths who could strike out the heavy riffs. That same year a bus accident claimed the life of Burton, and Jason Newsted (4 March 1963) joined the band. “And Justice For All”  was a critical and popular success. They had a top 40 hit with "One", and the band toured  persistently.Their so-called "black" album in 1991 incorporated the hit song "Enter Sandman," and  their publicity on MTV  helped make them superstars. In 1996 they released Load, followed the next year by Reload, both top selling albums that solidified Metallica's presence in majority rock.

In 2000 they were in the news regularly for their legal battle with  the online  file sharing service, Napster, and drummer Ulrich appeared before the United States Senate, explaining to a  sympathetic Orrin Hatch that file sharing was, in fact, stealing. Eventually Metallica and Napster reached an agreement, but in 2001 Jason Newsted left the band and James Hetfield entered a substance misuse rehabilitation program, leaving  the band's latest recording on hold.
