Metallica

METALLICA is one of the best american bands apart from ANTHRAX, MEGADETH and SLAYER who are the "big four" in thrash metal. When it comes to mind games and social chaos, METALLICA is the band who basically represents it. Now MEGADETH and METALLICA don't see eye to eye because they are huge rivals ever since METALLICA kicked Dave Mustaine and replaced him with Kirk Hammett due to Dave's alcohol addiction. METALLICA was created by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield when they first met. the band officially started in October of 1981. They had Ulrich's friend Ron Quintana to find a name for the band, his ideas were METALLICA and METAL MANIA. Obviously Ulrich chose METALLICA because the name was much more original than METAL MANIA and would probably intrigue more people to listen to their music. I find this pretty interesting and i actually went to look when METALLICA actually started since i don't know the date by heart. To explain the rivalry between METALLICA and MEGADETH. When Dave Mustaine got kicked, he decided to hold a grudge against METALLICA and formed his own band which is MEGADETH, they both competed in music to see who can put the most chaos in their music. My opinion, I think MEGADETH won but METALLICA wasn't far behind. Now here is a picture of the band and a song that i am trying to learn how to play.
