Metallica Review
Formed during 1981, in California, USA by Lars Ulrich (b. 26 December 1963,
Copenhagen, Denmark; drums) and James Alan Hetfield (b. 3 August 1963, USA
; guitar/vocals) after each separately advertised for fellow musicians in t
he classified advertisements of the American publication THE RECYCLER. They
recorded their first demo, NO LIFE TILLEATHER, with Lloyd Grand (guitar)
who was replaced in January 1982 by David Mustaine, a guitarist whose
relationship with Ulrich and Hetfield proved unsatisfactory. Jef Warner
(guitar) and Ron McGovney (bass) each had a brief involvement with the grou
p, and at the end of 1982, Clifford Lee Burton (b. 10 February 1962, USA; b
ass), formerly of Trauma, joined the band, playing his first live performan
ce on 5 March 1983. Mustaine departed to form Megadeth and was replaced by
Kirk Hammett (b. 18 November 1962; guitar). Hammett, who came to the attent
ion of Ulrich and Hetfield while playing with the rock band Exodus, played
his first concert with Metallica on 16 April 1983. The Ulrich, Hetfield, Bu
rton and Hammett combination lasted until disaster struck the band in the s
mall hours of 27 September 1987, when Metallica's tour bus overturned in Sw
eden, killing Cliff Burton.
After deciding that to stop playing would be an insult to their bassist's
memory, the remaining three members chose to recruit Jason Newsted (b. 4
March 1963; bass) of Flotsam And Jetsam. Newsted never imitated Burton, but
complemented the band with his own musical style, as he demonstrated at hi
s first concert with the band on 8 November 1986. The original partnership
of Ulrich and Hetfield is responsible for Metallica's lyrics and musical
direction. Having worked with the likes of Johnny Zazula and, most recently
, producer Bob Rock, they have retained much of the aggression and exuberan
ce of their debut, KILL 'EM ALL, the album sleeve of which bore the legend
ang that head that doesn't bang while maturing musically, as subsequent alb
ums demonstrated. Their songs deal with large themesjustice and retribution
, insanity, war, religion and relationships. Their music has grown from
iconoclastic chaos to thoughtful harmony, and is hallmarked by sudden and
unexpected changes of mood and tempo. Classed by some as being a hrash
metalband, Metallica are more than that, and Ulrich's early preoccupations
with British heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath and Mothead, offer a
better clue as to the nature of their music. Indeed, the band gained much
experience by touring with Ozzy Osbourne, Twisted Sister and Mothead.
Metallica thus draw,, on many musical sources, and have created their own
unique style. They shun fashion and dare to put out music which ranges from
fast songs to gentle ballads. To quote from Nothing Else Matters on
METALLICA: "rust I seek and I find in you/Every day for us something
new/Open mind for a different view. This band who have a musically pen
mindplayed their third Donington Monsters of Rock festival in 1991, and the
rapturous acclaim they received there is a fitting tribute to their
experimental originality and daring.
