🔥My Top 20 Metallica Songs🔥

Welcome to Top 20 Thursdays right here on the channel and tonight I figured I would talk about my top 20 metallica songs.

Metallica was formed by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield in the fall of 1981. Ulrich (who originally went to the US from Denmark to play tennis) had, during that summer, met Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records and secured an appearance on an upcoming compilation called Metal Massacre, but had no band.

He quickly found Hetfield, who was playing in Leather Charm at the time, and one day in December of 1981, they recorded the rhythm tracks to a remake of a Leather Charm song, "Hit the Lights". Hetfield tracked all guitars and bass on this recording, except for one of the solos, which was performed by guitarist Lloyd Grant in January 1982, and the song appeared on Metal Massacre in February.

Permanent guitarist Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) was brought in in February 1982, and a bassist, Ron McGovney, was found. Ron (who also designed the famous Metallica logo) was James's roommate, and James taught him to play bass, so that the band could play live. This line-up re-recorded "Hit the Lights" for the second pressing of Metal Massacre. The first live show was on March 14th at Radio City Music Hall in Anaheim.

James did only vocals, and Dave was the single guitarist. The band at this point had several rehearsal tapes floating about, but then in response to one of those being pressed to vinyl by Bongus Loadus Records, decided to record their first demo, with the Grant version of Hit the Lights and two covers. This demo was first given out at the March 27th, 1982 gig at the Whisky, when they opened for Saxon.

There is a lot more information to Metallica’s biography but we would be here for 30 mins so if you want to know more go and look up the entire biography. I just wanted to give you a brief one.

Yes I know these are all from their first 3 albums. That’s because I feel like anything that came after cliff burton’s death was not nearly as good. And Justice For All is a great album. However it’s so fuckin overproduced that Jason Newstead's bass is nowhere to be found.
So guys there you have it another top 20 Thursday the books I sincerely hope you enjoyed it!
