Nära nyskick. Metallica formed in 1981 when drummer Lars Ulrich posted an advertisement in a local L.A. newspaper. Their early recordings featured fast thrash tempos, instrumentals, and a raw aggression that made them metal gods almost instantly. Here are the stories behind such songs as “Ride the Lightning,” “The Thing that Should Not Be,” and “The God that Failed”—written about the death of lyricist James Hetfield’s mother.
Celebrate three decades of Metallica's heavy metal hits with "Stories Behind the Songs" as it looks back over the legendary band's remarkable history, focusing on the biggest songs from their studio albums with first-hand accounts from the band about how those songs came to be.
