Bio
Metallica is...
LARS ULRICH - drums
JAMES HETFIELD - guitars, vocal
KIRK HAMMETT - guitars
JASON NEWSTED - bass
Since they formed in 1981, San Francisco Bay Area band Metallica has gone from underground heavy metal band to one of the most successful acts in the world, with an intensely loyal fan base.
Sales of Metallica albums (including 8 full-length albums, and one EP) total over 60 million copies worldwide (with over 40 million coming in North America alone), and have earned gold and/or platinum certifications in over 40 countries. In addition, a live box-set release (containing over 8 hours of live music and video, retailing at over $80), has sold over 600,000 units worldwide, making it the biggest selling box set of its kind in history.
Metallica has garnered numerous awards accolades throughout the world their career, 4 Grammy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 2 MTV Music Video Awards and 26 California Music Awards.
When it comes to touring, there are few, if any, bands who deliver live the way Metallica does. Their shows, which began in clubs and garages in the early 80’s, are now selling out in arenas and stadiums throughout the world, and continue to be the most intense, powerful and visually stimulating concert experience ever delivered. The most impressive achievement that bears mentioning is the fact that Metallica continues to be a strong attraction in the touring world; a truly rare feat in today’s mercurial entertainment business, where fans often change allegiance to bands as often as they do hairstyles.
Metallica is a band whose success can be directly attributed to a passion and no-compromise attitude in every project they undertake.
