Metallica

by Jon Hotten

From unlikely beginnings, when heavy-metal-crazed Danish teenager Lars Ulrich advertized for like-minded longhairs to form a speed metal band, to worldwide sales of 20 million albums, the Metallica story is a remarkable one.Spearheading the thrash explosion, Metallica traveled from a Los Angeles garage to the biggest stadiums in the world, overcoming genuine tragedy along the way. Their last tour was seen by more than 4 million people; and the Metallica album has been in the charts for over two years.
