Metallica Memorabilia!
Metallica's many strengths were evident from the very beginning on their debut album Kill 'Em All. The scope, vehement playing, solid songwriting, and ambitious themes blended a stylized, almost Gothic sense of doom 'n' gloominess with an odd literary quirk (though it wasn't directly derrived from John Donne or Ernest Hemmingway, the cataclysmic mood of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was something of a precursor to "One," ...And Justice For All's stunning rock adaptation of Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun) and charged it all with the incensed energy of hardcore punk. Master Of Puppets was the culmination of the early half of their career, a prodigious display of speed metal and a pristine rock album. Their 1991 self-titled album was a watershed for many reasons. With it they refined and intensified their metal premise, but also made a statement about the power of the DIY ethic. Through relentless touring and uncompromising musicianship they had built an immense fan-base without the benefit of MTV, mainstream media coverage or radio support. Metallica was so huge that mainstream media could no longer ignore the phenomenon; it went multi-platinum, tipped their previous albums into platinum status and won them their third Grammy.
