Metallica Ultimate Deluxe Edition 13CD CD Box Set

Description: METALLICA Metallica Ultimate Deluxe Edition 13CD Thrash metal wouldve remained a roiling underground phenomenon had it not been for Metallica. As it is, the Bay Area quartetwhich favored headbanging riffs, seething vocals and jackhammer drumsbent the mainstream to their will. In the 80s, the band amassed a rabid fanbase and landed a major label record deal without radio or MTV support. Metallica werent just haphazardly unleashing whiplash-inducing guitar hurricanes, however. Their intrinsic sense of dynamics lent gravitas to songs such as Fade To Black and Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and they were deliberate about arrangements. Even when the band were young, snotty and combative, they never shied away from traditional structures or melodies if it made sense for a song. For Metallica, it all started with a May 1981 classified ad posted by Lars Ulrich in the Los Angeles newspaperThe Recycler: Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with. Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden. Luckily for Ulrich, a vocalist/guitarist named James Hetfield answered the inquiry. Although the pairs initial meeting was (at best) lukewarm, they shared an affinity for new wave of British heavy metal bands and decided to join forces a few months later. With guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist Ron McGovney also on board, the quartet took the name Metallica and played their first show on March 14, 1982. A plum opening gig for British heavy metallers Saxon followed two weeks later. After that, Metallica continued to write and demo songs, culminating in that summersNo Life Til Leatherdemo tape. This release raised the bands profile in the underground heavy metal scene considerably: Early versions of Motorbreath, Seek & Destroy and Hit The Lights glinted with menace and aggression, and were far faster and punk-influenced than the average tunes cranked out by American-bred metal bands. Before Metallica recorded what was to be their debut, 1983sKill Em All, they made two lineup changes: Bassist Cliff Burton replaced McGovney, and Mustaine was kicked out in favor of Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett. The quartet also relocated to the Bay Area. The changes were reinvigorating:Kill Em Alllived up to the expectations set forth byNo Life Til Leather, and Metallica stoked a growing fanbase by also touring with underground faves Raven and Venom. Another LP,Ride The Lightning, quickly followed in 1984. This record showed marked creative growth: Opening song Fight Fire With Fire began with almost medieval acoustic guitar picking before exploding into a maelstrom of breakneck-speed riffs, while the desolate, seven-minute Fade To Black was a churning meditation on suicide. Ride The Lightningcharted slightly better thanKill Em Allit peaked at No. 100 on the album chartsand was enough to land Metallica a new record deal with Elektra Records. The bands major label debut, 1986sMaster Of Puppets, was hardly a compromise, however: From the multi-movement title track and Orion to the bristling, taut, heavy metal opener Battery, the LP sounded punishing and challenging. Tragically, six months afterMaster of Puppets release, Burton died while Metallica was touring Europe, after the bands tour bus hit a patch of ice and flipped over. Although devastated, Metallica pledged to soldier forward, and recruited Jason Newsted as his replacement. 1988sAnd Justice For Allreflected the emotional bleakness of this time, although it also found Metallica exploring a slightly more streamlined strain of teeth-baring aggression. The band also made a music video for the single One, the first time they had made such a concession. Incongruously enough, the band became MTV darlings with the release of their 1991 self-titled record. Known colloquially asThe Black Albumdue to its stark cover, the Bob Rock-produced album featured sinewy, well-produced and introspective hard rock that was a nearly clean break from their 80s output. The Unforgiven was even a dirge-like, acoustic-based song with clean harmonies. For some fans, this new direction was polarizing. Although Enter Sandman and Sad But True were no less ferocious than previous songs, they lacked the bands familiar ragged, thrash-metal edge. Metallica were no longer anybodys best-kept secretthey were now one of the biggest bands in the world, on tour with hard rock titans Guns n Roses and playing stadiums. To date,The Black Albumhas sold 16 million albums. Post-The Black Albumcommitments, Metallica were incredibly prolific. Studio sessions resulted in enough material for two albums, 1996sLoadand 1997sReload, both of which debuted at No. 1 on theBillboardcharts. These albums also produced a slew of radio hits: Until It Sleeps, King Nothing, Hero Of The Day and Fuel. In 1999, the band also recorded two appearances with the San Francisco Symphony, which they released asS&M. Newsted left the band in 2001, which left Metallica without a bassist as they prepared to record 2003sSt. Anger. The laborious genesis of that albumand Metallicas dysfunctional band relationship and further internal cracksemerged in the brutally honest 2004 documentarySome Kind of Monster. Still, bassist Robert Trujillo replaced Newsted in early 2003, and the Metallica juggernaut kept rolling forward. 2008s Rick Rubin-producedDeath Magneticharkened back to their riff-centric days, while a 2011 collaboration with Lou Reed,Lulu, became one of the most polarizing (and obtuse) projects on their c.v. The latter also exemplified the creative spark that still smolders within the band: 30-plus years after forming, Metallica have no plans to retreat quietly from the spotlight. 1983-Kill Em AlL 1986-Master of Puppets 1988-And Justice For All 1991-Metallica 1996-Load 1997-Reload 1998-Garage Inc 2CD 1999-S&M 2CD 2003-St.Anger 2008-All Nightmare Long 2CD 2008-Death Magnetic 1983-Kill Em AlL 01.
