Metallica was first formed on October 15th, 1981 by the first members Jaymz Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. But beforehand, Jason Newstead had already created a band, named Diamond, which consisted of Kevin Kendrick, Todd Smiedendorf, himself and Tom Depoy in Niles, Michgan USA. At the same time of this happening, Jamyz Hetfield started at his high school, which met Roy McGovney, who would in turn in the future become Metallica's first bassist. In the year 1978, Jamyz Hetfield joined his first band, Obsession but had to shortly quit and move to L.A. California after the death of his mother.
In 1980, Jamyz had created his own band, called Phantom Lord which lasted until he had met Lars Ulrich. At the same time, they had then formed Metallica, and began recording at Metal Massacre. March 14th, Metallica plays their first gig at Anaheim in California. After the joining of Cliff Burton and relocating to California again, Metallica plays at the stone, which is now a legendary venue for Metallica to play at.

April 1st, 1983 Kirk Hamment was then asked to join the band and he accepted. Late 1983, Jason Newstead formed the band Dogz until he was asked to join Metallica.
