At the beginning of their career, Metallica was one of the garage bands in Los
Angeles. During that time,the band recorded their first songs. It was Hit the Lights, Jump in the Fire, The Mechanix and so on. Metallica was
playing very fast metal and they created a new type of music - Trash Metal.
Metallica went on tour immediately after the premiere of the album.
On this tour they got the new nickname - Alcoholica, because they loved
(and love) alcohol. Their second and third albums were Ride the Lightning (1984) and Master of Puppets (1986). With a third album Metallica received the greatest fame. During the Master of Puppet's tour there occurred a tragic car accident. Bass player - Cliff Burton - died.
Metallica was thinking about ending the band.
New bass player was Jason Newsted. In 1988 Metallica recorded the next album - ... and Justice for All.
1996 was the premiere of Load.
In 1999 for Christmas S&M (the new album) appeared in the shops.
It was the bigger and longer Metallica's concert than another with the symphony orchestra. During their career they had a lot of problems with the illegal distribution of albums. 19 January 2001 Jason Newsted left Metallica. He said, that he has a lot of problems with his health.
In this year Metallica released the next album - St. Anger.
The last was in 2010 on 16th June. It was at the Sonisphere Festival where in the first time in history the big trash four (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth) played on one stage.
