Hey all! RJ here
seeing as last week I did the genre of rock I thought this week would be he geared towards one of the pioneering bands of the 20th and 21st century,and while they maybe controversial, they are an incredible incredible band, they surpass genres and are easily one of the most recognizable bands around METALLICA!
Metallica were formed in 1981 with the combination of Drummer Lars Ulrich, Guitarist/ Vocalist James Hetfield, guitarist Dave Mustaine and Bassist Ron Mcgovney.Mcgovney would leave the band in december 1982 to be replased by Cliff Burton.
Over the last two decades Metallica have released numerous albums, and have gone through several line-up changes, starting in 1982 when Ron Mcgoverny left opening the way for Cliff Burton, who died in a tragic tour bus accident in September 1986 in Sweden, he was replased by Jason Newstead who left in 2001, making him the longest serving bassist in Metallica, currently the postion of bassist it held by Robert Trujillo. Apart from this, Metallica has had two Guitarists, they formed with current Megadeath Vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine, he was quickly replaced by Kirk Hammnett in 1983 causing a huge rift between Mustaine and Metallica.
Thats all for today guys! tune in during the week to catch the album list that Metallica has released over the last 20 years!
See Ya Soon Guys RJ
