During the 1980s the group sold millions of albums through relentless touring and positive word of mouth, despite virtually no radio play or publicity. During the 1990s their sound became more complex and the group embraced radio and MTV to further expand their enormous fan base.
Metallica was formed in Los Angeles in 1981 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, Danish-American tennis pro-turned-drummer Lars Ulrich, guitarist Dave Mustaine, and roommate-turned-bassist Ron McGovney. The quartet recorded four songs for a 1982 compilation titled Metal Massacre 1 and four more for a widely circulated demo tape called "No Life 'Til Leather."

The group returned to the U.S. and recruited Flotsam and Jetsam bassist Jason Newsted, then entered the studio to record a limited-edition all-covers EP, titled Garage Days Re-Revisited, as a warm-up for future work. ...
