After all, is Mustaine or not one of the founders of Metallica? According to the band’s website, “Metallica, one of the biggest bands in the United States, was founded on October 28, 1981, when drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield teamed up following an unpublished announcement by Ulrich.
Soon, they recruited Hetfield’s friend and housemouse Ron McGovney to play bass, Dave Mustaine to play guitar and used the name Metallica as a suggestion of their friend Ron Quintana.
