Metallica: Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2009 part 1

1981-1990

Lars Ulrich formed Metallica in 1981. James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner answered Lars' ad and Metallica formed. Dave Mustaine joined shortly thereafter. They released a song on the now legendary Metal Massacre I album. The song created buzz, they did a demo, and they were on the way. Tanner would be gone long before Metallica hit the big time. Cliff Burton joined the band in 1982.The following year, they released their first album. However, they kicked Mustaine out of the band for drug abuse and hired Kirk Hammett. Mustaine later formed Megadeth.

Megadeth: Trust (1997)

"Trust" is about a relationship that failed over trust issues. The song was nominated for a Grammy and a Spanish version was released for Latin America. The video received extension MTV airplay before Music Television stopped playing music.

907. Angry Again by Megadeth (1995)

Megadeth released "Angry Again" as a single in 1995. However, the song first appeared on the Last Action Hero soundtrack two years earlier. The film starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and spoofed action films. Audiences did not get the film and it flopped. However, it did have a solid soundtrack which represented the period and included AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Cypress Hill, Fishbone, and Def Leppard.

990. Peace Sells by Megadeth (1986)

Old MTV viewers may recognize the bass line at the beginning of the song...MTV News used it for years. The song itself is Dave Mustaine's attempt to refute negative stereotypes about metal fans.

Best Line: What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
