METALLICA

     That’s an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. The musical genres include Trash Metal, hard rock and speed metal, too. The band was formed in 1981, and the history is so fun. What happened was that the drummer, Lars Ulrich, posted an advertisement in a local newspaper, and so James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner answered it. Lars was looking for a band to play; so they needed other players to play with them, too. That’s sure that they could find these important guys; and they found them. This is a little confuse, really, but all great rock bands, probably already got a kind of this problem in the beginning.
