I guess this isn't the first Metallica story you have read, but I
dohope it is the best! I've tried to include all the stories and all
thefacts in a day-by-day diary, but I know the history is far from
complete,so if you find anything missing, please mail me.
1980
A young Lars Ulrich was addicted to the NWOBHM(New Wave Of British
Heavy Metal), and he tried to put his own band together.At this point,
his attempt failed, but he placed an ad in a magazine calledRecycler,
to which one James Hetfield answered. James and Lars metup to jam, but
nothing became of this first meeting.
Summer 81
Lars went to the UK to follow Diamond Head aroundfor 3 months on
tour.On his return he secured a deal to record a trackfor the Metal Blade
compilation Metal Massacre. Due to the factthat he didn't yet have a band,
he quickly began contacting people. Thethree members he managed to put
together were:

Brian Slagel told the band about a great bassplayer (Cliff Burton) in a
band called Trauma that played the Whiskey aGo-Go. James and Lars were not
happy with Ron McGovney, and where so amazedby Cliff's playing, that they
realized that this was the new bass playerfor Metallica. Cliff was not
interested, but said that he would join theband if they moved to San
Francisco, for he thought L.A. was a fucked-upfreak show.

To promote the Metal Massacre album, BrianSlagel organized a gig with
the bands the San Francisco. This was the firsttime Metallica played in fro
nt of the Bay Area crowd, and it was a crucialjob for them. All of the kids
joined the headbangers on stage and wentnuts. Metallica had to follow up t
his show with numerous gigs in the BayArea.
29.11.82.
The guys played at "The Old Waldorf"in San Francisco, with support from
a band named Exodus, with one KirkHammett on guitar; this was the first ti
me they met him. The show was recorded,and today is known as the Live Metal
Up Your Ass demo. They intendedto record it through the mixing board, but
something went wrong, so insteadthey set up a boombox in front of the
speaker stacks; technically, thisrecording is an audience recording. Both
Metal Up Your Ass and NoLife 'Til Leather came with a cassette liner that
was written by Larsand contained the track listings and the band logo. This
was Dave Mustaine'sfirst show with the band.

'm not sure which version is correct,if either... Story one: the band used
this recording (containing Whiplashand No Remorse) to get a contract with

Cliff, so they did, andthen took the tape to KUSF FM in San Francisco, wher
e it was played overthe air.
