Due to constant arguments/fights, Dave Mustaine left the
band along with Ron McGovney, and Kirk Hammett joined as the
lead guitarist and Cliff Burton joined as bass. James says, "I
heard Cliff making these incredible noises when I was in a night
club one night. I found out that the noises were coming from a
bass. I couldn't beleive what I heard. I told the others that 
we have to get him."
