Metallica Chronology
 

1980
                A young Lars Ulrich was addicted to the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal),
                and he tried to put his own band together. At this point, his attempt failed, but he placed an
                ad in a magazine called Recycler, to which one James Hetfield answered. James and Lars
                met up to jam, but nothing became of this first meeting.

           Summer 81
                Lars went to the UK to follow Diamond Head around for 3 months on tour. On his return he
                secured a deal to record a track for the Metal Blade compilation Metal Massacre. Due to
                the fact that he didn't yet have a band, he quickly began contacting people. The three
                members he managed to put together were:
                          Lars Ulrich (Drums)
                          James Hetfield (Vocals; Rhythm and Bass Guitars)
                          Lloyd grant (Lead guitar)

           14.03.82.
                Metallica's first show ever! At Radio City, in Anaheim, CA.

           XX.04.82.
                In order to get a certain live gig, Metallica needed to present some of their material, so they
                recorded a demo, later known as Power Metal. This was recorded with James, Lars, Ron
                McGovney, and Dave Mustaine. There isn't an actual title for this demo, but when it surfaced
                as a bootleg, the name stuck. The name comes from some early business cards of the band
                that Ron printed up.

           xx.04.82
                They re-recorded four tracks: Hit The Lights, Mechanix, Jump In The Fire, and
                Motorbreath. This new version of Hit The Lights appeared on the second pressing of Metal
                Massacre 1 (also the recent re-release).

           25.05.82
                Metallica played a gig at Lars’ high school, Backbay High School, managing to almost empty
                the hall.

           28.05.82
                They played as a five piece band for the first time with Jef Warner on vocals (luckily he didn't
                last).

           14.06.82
                The first print of the Metal Massacre compilation album was released, and included
                Metallica's first take of Hit The Lights. The second print had another version of this track.
                The album was released by Brian Slagel; this was the first release on his new label, Metal
                Blade.

           06.07.82.
                The demo No Life 'Til Leather was recorded. This demo was never officially released, but
                copies were made and spread like wildfire. Tracks included were:
                          Hit The Lights
                          Mechanix
                          Motorbreath
                          Seek And Destroy
                          Metal Militia
                          Jump In The Fire
                          Phantom Lord

                     Line-up was as follows:

                          Lars Ulrich (Drums)
                          James Hetfield (Vocals and Rhythm Guitar)
                          Ron McGovney (Bass Guitar)
                          Lloyd Grant (Lead Guitar, just for the solos)

           xx.08.82
                Brian Slagel told the band about a great bass player (Cliff Burton) in a band called Trauma
                that played the Whiskey a Go-Go. James and Lars were not happy with Ron McGovney,
                and where so amazed by Cliff's playing, that they realized that this was the new bass player
                for Metallica. Cliff was not interested, but said that he would join the band if they moved to
                San Francisco, for he thought L.A. was a fucked-up freak show.

           18.09.82
                To promote the Metal Massacre album, Brian Slagel organized a gig with the bands the San
                Francisco. This was the first time Metallica played in front of the Bay Area crowd, and it was
                a crucial job for them. All of the kids joined the headbangers on stage and went nuts.
                Metallica had to follow up this show with numerous gigs in the Bay Area.

           29.11.82.
                The guys played at "The Old Waldorf" in San Francisco, with support from a band named
                Exodus, with one Kirk Hammett on guitar; this was the first time they met him. The show was
                recorded, and today is known as the Live Metal Up Your Ass demo. They intended to
                record it through the mixing board, but something went wrong, so instead they set up a
                boombox in front of the speaker stacks; technically, this recording is an audience recording.
                Both Metal Up Your Ass and No Life 'Til Leather came with a cassette liner that was written
                by Lars and contained the track listings and the band logo. This was Dave Mustaine's first
                show with the band.

           30.11.82
                Mabuhay Gardens. The last gig with Ron on bass. They soon afterwards asked Cliff Burton
                to join; upon hearing this, Ron left.

           28.12.82
                First jam session with Cliff Burton.

           xx.01.83
                The band is invited by record shop owner Jon Zazula to do some gigs on the East Coast. He
                also tries to get them a record contract, but when this fails, he founds his own record label,
                Megaforce Records, and signs Metallica as his first band.

           March 83
                March of '83 saw them on a journey from SF to New York to play a number of dates
                organized by Jonny Z of Megaforce Records. During this trip Dave’s drinking problems were
                getting a bit out of hand. The morning after they played a show in Vandenburg, supporting
                VENOM, they asked Dave to leave. Meanwhile, Kirk was already on his way over by plane
                to replace him.

           05.03.83
                Cliff Burton's first gig with the band, in San Francisco, at The Stone.

           16.03.83
                The "Megaforce demo" was recorded. This is Cliff Burton's first recording with the band.
                There are two different stories about this recording, and I'm not sure which version is correct,
                if either... Story one: the band used this recording (containing Whiplash and No Remorse) to
                get a contract with Megaforce Records. Story two: the band wanted to capture a recording
                with Cliff, so they did, and then took the tape to KUSF FM in San Francisco, where it was
                played over the air.

           19.03.83
                Live at The Stone in San Francisco. This was the second gig with Cliff, and this show was
                videotaped. Parts of this show are on the "Cliff 'Em All" video issued by Metallica.

           April 83
                Lars, James and Dave all re-located to San Francisco, where Cliff lived; he now became a
                full member of Metallica.

           01.04.83
                Metallica called Kirk Hammett and asked him if he would like to join Metallica in New York
                for an audition. Kirk thought someone played an April Fool's trick on him, and answered
                "Yes, sure". The next day they called again to supply further details, and he realized that they
                were serious.

           09.04.83
                Live at L'Amours in Brooklyn, New York. The last gig with Dave Mustaine.

           16.04.83
                Having done his audition for Metallica, Kirk was accepted into the band; on this day he did
                his first gig with them in New Jersey. Exodus, Kirk’s previous band, went on to release some
                good thrash albums in the 80's and early 90's.

           May 1983
                They went into the studio to record their first album, Kill 'Em All, produced by Paul Curcio.
                Originally, this album was to be called "Metal Up Your Ass", but the record distributors
                refused to release an album with such a name. The name was immediately changed to Kill
                'Em All, in reference to the record industry's distributors.

           xx.07.83.
                Kill 'Em All was released.

           27.06.83
                Metallica went on the road for a two month tour with Raven for the "Kill 'Em All For One"
                tour (the Raven album at the time was entitled All for One). The tour ended on September 3,
                1983.

           October-December 83.
                Metallica spent their time writing new material for the next album, Ride The Lightning.

           February 84
                The quartet visited Europe for the first time. They went on a tour supporting VENOM,
                starting in Zurich, Switzerland and covering Germany, France and Belgium, then finishing with
                the Aardshock Festival in Zwolle, Holland. During this tour, the British label, Music for
                Nations, released the 'Jump in the Fire' EP to promote the tour.

           27.06.84
                Ride The Lightning is released by Megaforce records.

           xx.11.84
                The "Creeping Death" EP is released, featuring the original garage days on the B-side.
                Included is one cover tune, originally recorded by Blitzkrieg, and one track by Diamond
                Head. These tracks are now available on the re-release of Kill 'Em All, and Garage Days
                Re-Revisited is the follow up to this recording.

           17.08.85
                Performed for the first time at the famous Monsters of Rock festival at Donnington, England.
                Metallica was squeezed in-between two poser bands, Ratt and Bon Jovi, on the bill. James
                decided to tell the 70,000 kids what to expect: "If you came here to see spandex, eye
                makeup, and the words 'Oh baby' in every fuckin' song, this ain't the fuckin' band."

           xx.09.85 - 27.12.85.
                The band was in Copenhagen again, recording the third album, this time with producer
                Flemming Rasmussen.

           xx.03.86
                Master Of Puppets was released.

           27.03.86
                The tour with Ozzy Osbourne starts. This was a very important tour for Metallica, supporting
                Ozzy, as their popularity was steadily rising and they were ready to hit the bigtime. This was
                also their last tour as a supporting act.

           26.06.86.
                Shortly before a gig in Adamsville, James broke his wrist in the infamous "skateboarding
                incident." The show was cancelled, and during the rest of the tour James sang with his arm in
                a sling while John Marshall stood in on guitar. At that time, John Marshall was Kirk’s guitar
                roadie, as well as a member of the band Metal Church.

           27.09.86
                It was approaching dawn on Saturday, the 27th of September, 1986. Metallica's two tour
                buses were making their way along a god-forsaken road that lies somewhere between the
                Scandinavian cities of Stockholm and Copenhagen. Apart from these vehicles, the route was
                deserted - there was no one else travelling at that unearthly hour of the morning. Suddenly,
                for no apparent reason, just before 6:15 a.m., one of the coaches swerved violently to its
                right and started careening wildly down the wrong side of the road. It was out of control, and
                a crash was inevitable.

                The bus' brief, but horrific, excursion came to a halt some 60 feet further up the tarmac. By
                this time, the vehicle was on its side and lying in a ditch by the side of the road, near the small
                Swedish town of Ljungby.

                During the unavoidable confusion that followed, the vast majority of the overturned bus'
                passengers managed to scramble free of the wreckage. Those that emerged included three of
                the four members of the band. In all honesty, the survivors had been extremely lucky, as they
                had all somehow managed to escape with little more than minor injuries and shock.

                Swedish police arriving on the scene of the crash immediately arrested the driver as a matter
                of routine, but later released him without charges after further investigation revealed that the
                cause of the crash was black ice on a nasty bend in the road.

                Unfortunately, however, there had been one fatality in the accident...... what is more, the
                deceased individual turned out to be one of the group. So, tragically, in the short space of
                those few dreadful seconds on that lonely Swedish road, Metallica's dreamlike existence was
                suddenly transformed into a hellish nightmare. Their 24 year old bass player, Cliff Burton,
                was dead.

                "I saw the bus lying right on him. I saw his legs sticking out. I freaked. The bus driver,
                I recall, was trying to yank the blanket out from under him to use for other people. I
                just went, 'Don't fucking do that!' I already wanted to kill the guy. I don't know if he
                was drunk or if he hit some ice. All I knew was, he was driving and Cliff wasn't alive
                anymore." James Hetfield -1993

           29.09.86
                The dazed group dealt with their anxiety in the manner with which they were most familiar:
                drinking. James broke two hotel windows and screamed, venting his rage. Kirk and his guitar
                tech, John Marshall, were so shaken that they left the light on in their room that night. On this
                day James, Lars and Kirk returned to the United States.

           28.10.86
                Jason Newstead goes to an audition, in the hopes to become the new bass player. He
                learned all the songs in a couple of days, so when the three of them asked Jason what song
                he would like to play, he said "anyone you like." At the end of the audition, Metallica had five
                candidates, but invited Jason to have a drink with them at Tommy's Joint. Before leaving the
                place, the three members went to the loo, and when they came back, they told Jason,
                "Welcome to Metallica."

08.11.86
                Jason's first gig with Metallica, opening for Metal Church at The Country Club in Reseda. His
                second gig was the very next night at Jezabelle's in Anaheim.

           10.08.87
                The EP Garage Days Re-Revisited was released only including cover tunes to introduce
                Jason on vinyl to the fans. One of the tracks was left off the British version so it could qualify
                for the singles chart. This masterpiece is no longer available, and is now a rare collector's
                item.

           20.08.87
                The band started their European festival tour with a small secret gig at Club 100 in London.
                Thousands of people showed up, even though the gig wasn't advertised; however, many
                were denied at the door, as the club only had capacity for a few hundred!

           04.12.87
                Metallica's first home video, Cliff 'Em All, is released. This is Metallica's homage to their
                previous bass player. They didn't have any footage from the old shows, so bootleg videos
                taped by fans were added to the home video.

           24.05.88
                First show of the American "Monsters of Rock" Festival tour, with Van Halen at the Country
                Club in Los Angeles.

           06.12.88
                Metallica filmed their first music video, One. They always said that they wouldn’t do a music
                video, but they now felt that the time was right, and were given maximum artistic freedom
                from their label.

           22.02.89
                This year Metallica received a nomination in the heavy metal category for the Grammy
                Awards. They performed One live at the show, but the award went to Jethro Tull. Metallica
                didn't seem to care, though; they added a sticker to their album reading "Grammy Award
                LOOSERS".

           20.06.89
                The home video "Two Of One" is released.

           xx.02.90
                Metallica wins a Grammy for Best Metal Performance, for One. While on stage receiving the
                award, the band gives Jethro Tull a big thank you for not releasing anything this year, as they
                won last year.

           06.10.90
                Metallica enters the studio "One On One" in North Hollywood to record their next album.
                Time passes, and the band is not finished until June 16th of the next year. The album is
                recorded by Randy Staub and assistant Mike Tacci, and produced by Bob Rock together
                with Hetfield and Ulrich.

                proceeds from this gig and the sales of the single were donated to Freddy Mercury's AIDS
                fund. The show was also TV broadcasted to the whole world.

           09.08.92
                James got burned by the pyrotechnics in Montreal, Canada. The next gigs had to be
                cancelled because James couldn't play the guitar with his burnt hand.

           25.10.92
                The first time Metallica played So What? live. What obviously made it so cool was that
                Animal, the vocalist from the Anti-Nowhere League who wrote this song, was dragged up to
                sing this masterpiece at Wembley Area, London, England.

           05.11.92
                All four members of Diamond Head were on the guest list this day in Birmingham, England.
                This started Metallica thinking of the possibility of jamming with them. With two drum sets on
                the stage, all eight band members played Am I Evil? and Helpless together. The members of
                Diamond Head are close friends of Lars, for he traveled with them on tour before Metallica
                was formed. Both of these tracks, and the jam with Animal ten days earlier, are available on
                the "Metallican vid" that comes in the Metallican-box for ...And Justice For All.

           Nov. 92
                The two home videos, "A Year And A Half In Ihe Life Of Metallica," parts 1 & 2, were

           21.01.93
                Some people at Elektra suggested that Metallica should come to Manhattan, and transform a
                record store into their own Metalli-store. The guys liked the idea and opened the store to a
                flood of fans on this day, selling only Metallica albums and merchandise. A tape was released
                for this day, and was exclusively sold at this shop on the Grand Opening. The tape consists of
                a medley recorded in Moscow. It was James who designed the tape cover with a drawing of
                Scary Guy.

           22.01.93

           23.08.95
                The tracks 2 x 4 and Devil's Dance are played for the first time in front of an audience at the
                London Astoria in England. This was a private show, and only members of the fan club were
                invited. According to Metallica this was the best gig they had ever played. This was also the
                first date on their short tour "Escape From The Studio" 95.

           03.09.95
                The Arctic Circle show, sponsored by Molson Breweries in Canada. 500 or so contest
                winners were invited to the "Coldest Show On Earth," in arctic northern Canada, a place so
                desolate and frigid that the only way in or out was by charter flights. The show was played in
                a huge, clover-shaped tent. Using four massive, fuel-burning, heating units they managed to
                keep the temperature warm enough for the instruments to function!

           13.11.95
                Metallica performed 7 Motorhead songs (dubbing their performance the "Lemmys") during
                Lemmy's birthday party at the famous club "Whiskey A Go-Go". This is also the club where

           06-07.05.96
                The video for Until It Sleeps was shot at locations around and in Los Angeles.

           MAY.96
                Our four guys spent time travelling around the world to promote the new album. They
                conducted numerous interviews, and organized huge listening parties where they would set up
                a truck full of speakers and play the new album, then sign some autographs for the fans. This
                occurred all over the world; in the States, Europe, Australia and Japan.

           20.05.96
                The single Until It Sleeps is released world-wide, excluding Northern America, where the
                fans would have to wait one more day.

           26.05.96.
                A huge Metallica listening party was held on the second day of the DYNAMO Festival in
                Eindhoven, Holland. Metallica's new album, Load, was played through the PA at the festival
                site for the 60,000+ audience, making this the largest listening party held, ever!! Two band
                members (probably Lars & Kirk) were at the festival site to present this event, to give
                interviews, and to promote the new album. Load was released a whole week earlier in
                Holland than the rest of the world, to make it possible to be sold at the festival. Therefore,
                Eindhoven was blessed not only with hosting the world premiere, but also with the release of
                the album for the first time anywhere in the world!

           01.06.96
                Load is released in Japan only.

           03.06.96.
                The album is released world-wide.

           04.06.96.
                The album is released in North America.

           11.06.96
                Metallica played live for the entire world, via the Internet. The broadcast site was Slim's, a
                small club in San Francisco, where the Webcast crew beamed the show across the globe,
                live as it happened, in spycams, music, video, pictures and descriptions.

           17.06.96
                MTV presented a Metallica contest that was so huge it took four tractor trailers to deliver the
                prizes to the homes of the four contest winners. The four band members of Metallica hung
                out with the grand prize winner, met the neighbors, and played some tunes. The contest final
                was aired July 1.

           27.06.96
                The American Loolapalooza festival tour starts in Kansas City with Metallica headlining the
                bill.

           12.09.96
                Another European tour begins. This time the tour starts in Ostenhalle, Germany.

           23.09.96
                Recorded the live video of Hero Of The Day in Barcelona, Spain. They weren't using a
                recording, and 5 seconds before each of the 3 times they played the song, a metronom was
                introducing the band to the required rythym, and the beeps of it sounded throughout the
                whole audio system at the stadium. Also, Kirk got 3 or 4 notes wrong on the intro during the
                first attempt. Moreover, Lars asked the crowd to be more energetic in each one of the new
                versions they played. So, by the third try, it sounded louder than hell!
