Metallica was founded by Lars Ulrich(drummer)in 1981.The name was thought of by  Ron Quintana,a producer associate of Lars. \nJames Hetfield joined next (singer/guitar).\nDave Mustaine (Lead guitar).\nRon McGovney (bass).\nDuring their debut tour (no albums yet), they had to get rid of Dave Mustaine for being a cantancerous asshole, thinking he was the leader or something.\nSo it was recommended that Kirk Hammett should be the new guitarist.\nRon McGovney was not really interested in becoming a pro bassist and was replaced by Cliff Burton(Bass)\n1983-Metallica released "Kill 'em all".\nOzzy Osbourne took them under his wing-\nand the rest is History!

Judas Priest with Dokken.\n\nCan't remember the year. Had to be around 1986 or 1987 though.

Absolutely not.  Davey enjoys the same 80's glam that David Bowie did - I'll give you the fact that David Bowie is/was a bisexual, but Davey Havok - most certainly not.

Chris Isaak- Wicked Game\nYou should hear the "Love Metal" version by HIM.

Frankie Lee was an actor who died in 1970, before Judas Priest became a premier heavy metal band.  \n\nDylan smoked a lot of pot.

It wasn't really one band that started metal, it was a bunch of movements and bands over time that were eventually brought together to form what we now call metal. If you meant who came first, they started the same year, however black sabbath was not originally called black sabbath, and originally played heavy blues rock and moved into metal a few years later. Metallica didn't start until well over a decade later.

Yeah they are also a Finnish love/glam/horror metal band like HIM. I haven't heard many of their material, but from what I've heard they seem to be a little on the lame side. HIM is better, I have to agree. I went to a concert and they were good. But I prefer the old stuff to the pop-rock that they made Dark Light. Rock on!

Never cared for it back then. I like my metal REAL, not w/ hairspray.\n\nYou need a dose of 80s Metallica & Slayer, man...\n\nADDENDUM:\n\nWell since we're doing this via threads, you need a few things asked & pointed out. You said:\n\n"you know what i couldnt help noticing that you came and answered my question for your info i do like heavy metal also but dont go bad mouthing the 80s cus motley crue gave metallica there first break when they let metallica open them"\n\n \nOk, Right- where in my reply did I bad mouth the 80s? \n\n2nd, if we're talking about bad mouthing something, can we also use your bad mouthing of punk thread as a real example?\n\nNow, onto Motley Crue. I never bad mouthed them specifically, did I? I bad mouthed hair metal in general. Truth is, I kinda like the Crue...but you, of all fans, oughta know they TOTALLY ripped off 70s UK bands like Sweet & Slade. Same exact style pumped up 80s style. \n\nIf we're gonna do any comparing, Metallica are *light years* ahead of MC in terms of originality. \n\nAlso, where are MC today? Where are Metallica? See where this is going?

Metal prevails. in the 80's there were a lot of good punk bands. I'm not too sure now. Some of them were Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks check em' out. Punk has always been overshadowed by Metal. Metal in the 80's you had. Judas Priest, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, OZZY...

Bass = Geddy Lee (back vocals)\nPercussion = Neal Peart\nGuitar = Eddie van Halen\nVocals = Steve Perry (Freddie Mercury when he was alive)\nKeys = Steve Winwood (back vocals)\nRhythm Guitar = Neal Schon or Alex Lifeson, either of which could be lead as well if you wanna dump Eddie.

Not at all. He was a talented singer in a helluva band. AND he happened to be gay. Gary Glitter though thats another matter.
