About Metallica

Metallica is an American heavy metal band, formed on October 28, 1981.

With more than 85 million albums sold worldwide, including 57 million albums sold in the United States alone, they have become the most commercially successful heavy metal act in history. Metallica is also credited, along with the other of the "big four" thrash metal bands, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, with bringing the genre to the mainstream.

Metallica was formed in Los Angeles, California, in October 1981 by guitarist and singer James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich after they both placed classified advertisements in the publication The Recycler about forming a band. The duo recruited bassist Ron McGovney, and the early incarnation of the band went through a number of lead guitarists, such as Lloyd Grant, Brad Parker, and Jeff Warner.

Metallica got its name when San Francisco-area metal promoter Ron Quintana asked Ulrich to help pick out a name for his new magazine to promote U.S. and British metal bands. Quintana came up with a list that included "Metallica," but Lars suggested "Metal Mania" and used "Metallica" for the band.

The band's music was primarily inspired by bands such as Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Diamond Head, Saxon, Judas Priest, and other British metal bands. They also took inspiration from punk bands like the Misfits, Zeroption, Discharge, and The Ramones.
