i dont know too much...but i know one of the band members died in a bus crash a long time ago so they found someone new...and Jason Newsted, a former member is now in the band Supernova. Lars is the drummer. James Hatfield is the main guy. My favorite songs are Stone Cold Crazy and Hero of the Day...Metallica is a great classic band..i reccommend you buy all of their CDs :)

James Hetfield vocals-guitar 81-pres

Jason Newstead bass, 86-00 (see also Flotsam and Jetsam, Voivod)
Robert Trujillo bass, 02-pres (see also Suicidal Tendencies)
band founded in Los Angeles, but moved to San Francisco to recruit Cliff Burton and out of disgust of LA music scene.
Recommended listening, anything before and up to 1988. Kill 'em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, And Justice For All, ok some post '88 stuff's not that bad but still.
