Metallica

[Text]:

So it’s Wednesday night. I’m lying in bed, trying to decide what to write
my research paper on, but mostly focusing on the television. VH1’s Behind the
Music is on. Tonight, the show spotlights my favorite band: Metallica. Suddenly
it hits me. I should do my paper on the most fascinating band in the world. And
so the story begins.

We’ll start over in Copenhagen Denmark. A young boy named Lars Ulrich is
growing up in a rich neighborhood. He plays tennis, and has hopes of one day
being one of the worlds best (Tolinski, 46). But that dream comes to an abrupt
halt when Lars gets his first drum set for his twelfth birthday (Tolinski, 46).
This was also around the same time when heavy metal was beginning to catch on in
Europe. The rise of this type of music is referred to as the new wave of British

music a chance.

After a few jam sessions, Lars and Jamyz decided that they were ready to form
a band. Lars knew a man named Brian Slagel that was putting together a metal
compilation album called Metal Massacre (Tolinski, 46). Brian assured Lars a
spot on the record if he could throw together a band. With this in mind Lars and
Jamyz hit the Los Angeles club scene to try to discover possible band mates.
They found a lead guitarist named Lloyd Grant, and a bassist named Ron McGovney.
The foursome hit the studios and recorded one track: “Hit The Lights” (Tolinski,
47).

So now it’s 1981. The foundation for the greatest heavy metal band of all
