History
Early days (1981–1983)

A fanzine (see also Zine) is a nonprofessional publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre for the pleasure Quintana had proposed the names Metal Mania and Metallica. Convincing him to use Metal Mania, Ulrich used Metallica for the name of his band. A second advertisement was placed in The Recycler for a position as lead guitarist. Lead guitar refers to the use of a Guitar to perform Melody lines instrumental fill passages, and Guitar solos within a song structure Dave Mustaine answered, and, after seeing his expensive guitar equipment, Ulrich and Hetfield recruited him.

Metallica recorded several demos throughout their career The following is a chronology of Metallica demos Ron McGovney's '82 Garage Demo This is a demo tape [5]
Metallica was ready to record its debut album, but when Metal Blade was unable to cover the additional cost, the band began looking for other options. Concert promoter Johnny "Z" Zazula, who had heard the 1982 No Life 'til Leather demo, offered to broker a record deal with Metallica and New York City-based record labels. John Zazula, also known as Johny Z or John "the well is dry" Zazula is the owner of New York's legendary " Rock'n Roll Heaven " record store and founder of The City of New York After receiving no interest from various record labels, Zazula borrowed the money to cover the record's recording budget and signed Metallica to his own label, Megaforce Records.

Mustaine has expressed his dislike for Hammett in interviews. He said Hammett "stole my job, but at least I got to bang his girlfriend before he took my job — how do I taste, Kirk?"[8] Mustaine was "pissed off" because he believes Hammett became popular by playing the guitar leads that Mustaine wrote. [9] In a 1985 interview with Metal Forces, Mustaine slammed Hammett saying, "it's real funny how Kirk Hammett ripped off every lead break I'd played on that No Life 'til Leather tape and got voted No. The British publication Metal Forces emerged during 1983 and aided greatly in the promotion of metal and rock genre music 1 guitarist in your magazine. "[10] On Megadeth's 1985 debut album Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, Mustaine included the song "Mechanix", which Metallica renamed as "The Four Horsemen" on Kill 'Em All.
