Metallica is a thrash metal band originally from Los Angeles, but based in San Francisco since February 1983. It was founded in 1981 in Los Angeles by the Dane Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, who would join them Lloyd Grant and Ron McGovney. These two musicians were later replaced by guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist Cliff Burton, Mustaine was fired a year after joining the band due to his excessive addiction to alcohol and violent behavior, and founded the band Megadeth and was replaced by Kirk Hammett former guitarist of Exodus. Moreover, in 1986, the death of Cliff Burton in a bus accident in Sweden caused the entry to the group of Jason Newsted, who, fifteen years later, after his defection would be replaced by current bassist Robert Trujillo.
