It would be Master Of Puppets (1986) that allowed the students to become the teachers. Ride The Lightning (1984) was an excellent follow-up, especially with the track For Whom The Bell Tolls, their anti-capital punishment stance it was also their debut with 'Elektra'. The album sleeve toted the slogan "Bang the head that doesn't bang", an anthemic statement summarizing the whole thrash movement. Aggressive and loud, with Metallica's characteristic chugging guitars, it was set apart from its peers. Kill 'Em All (1983) was an excellent debut album release which featured this classic line-up. The relationship with Mustaine proved to be a stressful one as well and before long he was ejected (he would soon after form his own band Megadeth and be replaced by Kirk Hammett (ex- Exodus)). Jeff Warner (guitar) and Ron McGovney (bass) would also join but they, in turn, didn't last very long before Cliff Burton took over on bass. Their No Life 'Till Leather demo release featured Lloyd Grand (guitar) who, in 1982, was replaced by David Mustaine Grand went on to form the ill-fated Defcon operation. They both met via ads in the musician's classifieds paper, The Recycler.

by Lars Ulrich (drums) and James Alan Hetfield (ex- Maxwell Ranchouse Band/ex- Spastik Children guitar/vocals). Metallica made the record industry and general populace outside of the genre respect the music, in fact they almost single handedly forced it into the popular culture in the early 1990s a trick that had never been achieved by any other metal band!

Iron Maiden and the NWOBHM movement managed to standardize metal and turn it into a professional and respected musical art, but outside of its own fans and performers of metal, it received only modest respect and this is where Metallica's legacy will be forever recorded into history. Metallica's sound is best described as Motorhead meets Iron Maiden (two of their influences). During the 1980s and 1990s they experimented and perfected their sound to the point where it became palatable to a large audience, even outside of the heavy metal fandom. Metallica used their great volume and thrash speed not just to make lots of noise, but also to enhance their music.
Their "black album" ( Metallica) in 1991 became a hit not only for heavy metal but also got them into the lexicon of pop culture and gained them their first number one! Indeed, with the exception of a couple of live albums, almost everything they have published have gone multi-platinum, making them one of the most successful acts in heavy metal, not to mention the rock music genre in general. This thrash metal act started with the intention of being faster and louder than anyone else - and they were! Their success happened so fast that by 1991, only ten years after their founding and 8 years after their first publication, Kill 'Em All (originally to be called Metal Up Your Ass), they were outselling everybody in the rock music genre and, by 1994, winning three Grammies. F each star in the night sky represents a distant sun then Metallica was the fastest moving and maybe the brightest.
