JAMES
JAMES HETFIELD
James Hetfield was born on August 3, 1963 in Los Angeles, California. His main influences were: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, and Motorhead. His jobs before becoming the master of his domain were: janitor and a sticker factory worker. James was the drummer in "Obsession" before he left and made Metallica with Lars Ulrich. James is the quiet person in the band; usually in interviews he doesn't talk as much, he hates interviews. But, when it comes to concerts, he is the master!!!! In his junior years, James and his family all moved to Brea, California. This is where James started out with his guitar playing. In "Obsession" he played mostly Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Around this time, he hooked up with Ron McGovney, who was soon to be Metallica's first bass player. Then after, James met Lars Ulrich through a local newspaper called the "Recycler". This is when Metallica is truely formed. James found himself playing the guitar instead of singing so that he could concentrate on getting better at playing. They looked for a front-man, but it never worked out. So that's how James got stuck with the job and we can ALL be thankful for that. He Rocks!!!!!
