We put together all that you need to know about Metallica, including how to get the best deals on cheap Metallica tickets and upcoming tour dates.
Metallica got its start in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, thanks to co-founders James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. They were later joined by lead guitarist Kirk Hammett Hetfield grew up in Downey, California, in a devout Christian household. He always felt like an outcast due to his inability to relate to the religion the way his parents did. After his father left the family, his mother died from cancer when Hetfield was 16.
Born in Denmark in 1963, Lars Ulrich moved to the United States when he was 15. Initially, the plan was to train in tennis as he had in Denmark, but he soon grew tired of it and found himself falling behind. He decided to pursue music after his family moved to Newport Beach, California.
Interested in starting a band, Ulrich placed an ad in a newspaper that made its way to Hetfield. They soon got together to look for other bandmates. The second guitarist, Dave Mustaine, joined around 1981, and in 1982, Hetfield and Ulrich recruited bass player Cliff Burton. Burton tragically died in Sweden in 1986 when the band’s tour bus crashed.
The band, along with some others of its time like Megadeth, brought thrash onto the heavy metal scene. The band’s visceral sound on albums like Master of Puppets, Kill ‘em All, and Ride the Lightning found a place within many homes across the world, making them one of the most commercially successful bands on par with the selling power of Bruce Springsteen and Jay Z.
Since the ‘90s, every new album has claimed the number-one spot on the Billboard 200. They’ve surpassed other similar groups like Pantera, Ice Nine Kills, and Five Finger Death Punch in terms of commercial and critical success, making them one of the most famous bands in any genre of all time. That’s why they’ve been able to pull off two-night back-to-back performances in major US cities like Seattle or Minneapolis.
If you ask the Metallica fandom, there are too many songs that could be classified as the band’s biggest hit. From “Enter Sandman,” featuring one of the band’s greatest riffs, to “The Unforgiven,” the band solidified their place as a band with ample top hits.
Most of the band’s songs on the Billboard Top 100 maintained their spots on the chart for at least 10 weeks.
Metallica has 20 songs on the Billboard 200, with 11 top 10 hits and six that claimed the number one spot. “Reload,” “St. Anger,” and “Death Magnetic” are a few of the songs that claimed the number-one spot.
The band also has 17 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with one song in the top 10. “Hero Of The Day” and “One” appear on this chart, while “Until It Sleeps” claimed the number 10 spot.
Metallica won many awards, including eight Grammy Awards with 18 nominations. They won their first Grammy in 1990 for Best Metal Performance for “One.” Other Grammy wins include Best Metal Performance for “My Apocalypse” and “St. Anger” and Best Rock Instrumental Performance for “The Call of Ktulu.”
Other awards include the Billboard Music Awards for Top Rock Artist, iHeartRadio Music awards for Rock Artist of the Year and Rock Album of the Year, and MTV Video Music Awards for Best Hard Rock Video for the songs “Until It Sleeps” and “Enter Sandman.”

whether you want to spend several days watching the band and their contemporaries perform or just one.
