So metallica...I think most of you have heard this name even if you are not a metal fan.And if you are i'm sure you have.One of the top thrash metal bands in history having an excellent guitarist in Kirk Hammett,vocalist and one of the best rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, and drummer Lars Ulrich..Their bassist has changed several times during the past ..well they've been around since the 80's..
The band has won a fair share of grammy awards (grammy awards are a joke in my opinion) and have had controversies sorround them in the early years when dave mustaine (who went on to found megadeth) was kicked from the band...In 2000,they filed a case against napster (a peer to peer file sharing network) when they found out that their music was freely distributed on the network.It led to napster being a paid service and the fans showed their discontent towards it..
But there's no doubting that metallica were one of the best in their time.They have influenced many a band and introduced people to metal.They,alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax were the big four of the thrash metal genre in the 80's..Kirk Hammett is one of my favorite guitarists..His solos in "Fade to Black" and "One"
are some of the best..Lead vocalist James Hetfield is also the rhythm guitarist of the band and he's awesome.
Their earlier albums(Kill Em All,Ride the lightening,..and justice for all,master of puppets and metallica) are their best albums..However since then,they never could reach up to that level again..
