Metallica

Band had a frontman they "really, really" wanted, but got turned down.

He came around, though.

Bassist toured with his future bandmates in 1993.

James Hetfield also reflects on why they didn't fight to keep bassist who left in 2001.

Not for the faint of heart.

Even legends feel it sometimes.

Expansive collection -- which includes a remastered version of the original album, plus more than 24 hours of live material, demos, rough mixes and interviews -- retails for $240.

The band rocked the album back to front!

On Sept. 27, 1986, Metallica's Cliff Burton was killed in a bus crash.

How many more of these are planned?!

Thanks to a massive reissue of the classic record.

This is the first time the band has performed for a live crowd in some two years.
