METALLICA
I think Metallica is one of the better bands, I say that because I was brought up around older rock bands like The Who, rush, and VanHalen. Even though I like newer bands like KORN or Limp Bizkit I still like and give credit to older Harder bands like Iron Maden, Slayer, and Over Kill.
I even like and give credit to realy old bands like the beatles because I think the realy old rock
bands started it all and kind of made a path for bands of today.
Metallica consists of four guys James Hetfield, Kirk Hammet, Lars Ulrich, and Jason Newsted.
James Hetfield on vocols and rythem guitar was born August 3, 1963 in Los Angeles,
California. His jobs beforeMetallica were a janitor and a sticker factory worker. James also
had a band before Metallica it was called "Obsession" . Metallica was truly formed when James
met Lars Ulrich.
Lars Ulrich was born on December 26, 1963 in Copenhagen, Denmark. His former jobs before he
played drums for Metallica were a paper route and he was a cashier at a gas station.
After he got tired of tennis he wanted to start drumming. He got the idea because he was good at air drumming and he was hitting cardboard boxes. So he convinced his grandmother to by
him a drum set in 1977.
Kirk Hammet was born on November 8, 1962 in San Fransisco. His jobs before becoming a
guitar player for Metallica were working at Burger King and a ware house . He also had a band
before it was called "Exodus".
Kirk started to take guitar lessonns in 1981. Kirk went on to become a wicked guitar player for Metallica .
Jason Newsted was born March 4, 1963 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Jason replced Cliff Burton who was the old bass player for Metallica . Cliff was killed in a bus accident .Jason put an add in the news paper and got to audision for Metallica . Jason thought it
was pretty cool that he got to play a few songs with the band. After the audision they went to a
resteraunt where James and the band decided he was going to be in the band and
Metallica WAS
RE-BORN!!!
