Bandmembers

On this page, I am gonna tell you more about the bandmembers of Metallica. Metallica has 4 current bandmembers, and 2 former. And I gonna tell something about some guest artist for Metallica.

Lets start with James hetfield.
He is 49 years old and spent his
childhood in downey in californië.
Before Metallica, James played in
more bands, one of them is called phantom lord.
One fact about James is that he was nearly
death on stage! In 1992 he stand on a pyrotechnic and
so he burned. But he surived it!
On the left, you see a childhood picture of James,
In the Middle you see a picture of James in the
Black Album tour and Right you see a picture
of James took in the Death Magnetic tour.



Then we got the co- founder of Metallica.
Called Lars Ulrich .He is 49 years old and
spent his childhood in denmark. But later he
moved to Californië, where he met Hetfield.
Lars is married 2 times, they are both done.
He has 2 children and he loves them very
much he always say. On the left side, you have a
picture of lars in the And Justice For All tour,
on the Right side a picture from him in the Death Magnetic tour



Then we get a guitar god, better
known as Kirk Hammett. His age is 50.
He can play the guitar like a pro.
He spent his childhood in San fransisco. A cool
fact is that he had his guitarlessons by the
world famous Joe Satriani, Known as the lead guitarist on
songs as ''Surfing with the alien'' and ''Satch boogie''.
Kirk has one son and is married 2 times.
On the left side a picture from Kirk's childhood, in the
middle one from the 90s and on the right a picture from the Death Magnetic tour.



At last, we get the "Bass Monkey" Robert Trujillo.
He is 48 years old and spent his childhood in californië.
In the beginning of his career. he start bass playing
with some solo projects, like ozzy osbourne.
Robert get some welcome money from metallica,
one million dollars, Robert didn’t say no to it ofcourse.
I only have a picture from the Death Magnetic Tour, as you
can see, he is a real monkey.


Then we get the 2 former bandmembers.
We start with cliff burton. He is born in californië.
He was the first bass player for Metallica, and the best.
But he died on 24 year of age by a bus accident.
He is a very fast bass player and he does everything
with his fingers, and for people who don’t know anything
about bass playing. That is realy fast. I only have a picture
when he is in metallica, not from his childhood ore something.


Then we get Jason Newsted, he is 49 years old
and is born in Michigan. He is a very good bass
player and has wrote much Metallica songs.
But he never was realy friends with the other bandmembers.
Its not they hate eachother but they wern’t good friends.
In 2002 he left Metallica for an own solo project
and ozzy osbourne’s band. Jason was also a very good singer,
he did much backing vocals for metallica.
On the left side you see a picture of Jason when he was
in Metallica. In the Middle a picture of Jason these days and
on the right just a cool action- picture.


There are 2 more people i wanna talk about. Joey jordinson and dave lombrado.
Both they are drummers. They are invaders for Lars as lars can’t play a gig.

The masked Joey jordinson is 38 years old
 and is drummer of the band slipknot.
He always wears a mask in slipknot
(everyone in slipknot does), so he does it in
Metallica too. Joey is a very fast
drummer. and maybe better than lars himself.
On the left a picture of Joey with his mask and on the righta picture of him without his mask


The other one is dave lombrado. He is born in 1965 and he is the drummer of the band slayer. he is very fast and an awesome drummer. He is very straigt. Just very good!
