Since 1981. The current line up has been together since 2003.
1981-Present
Well, although their first album came out in 1983, they actually started writing it around 1981. So, they have been making music for about 30 years.
James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich established the band. They have been playing since 1981. So they have been playing for 30 years.
i think somewhere around the early 1980's

No. Although they aren't close, they haven't been feuding. Dave Mustaine has had talks with Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, settling their differences and resolving their issues. During the recent Big Four tour, Dave Mustaine played on-stage with Metallica, indicating that there has been a bit of an understanding between the two.

Mostly Lars and James. All of them but James does a lot.everybody writes the songs even kirk
It depends on what you mean. If you mean were James, Robert, and Kirk original characters on the new guitar hero metallica game than yes. Those guys, along with Lars, are original characters in the game. But if you mean If James, Robert, and Kirk are original members in the band metallica than no. Only James and Lars ( drummer ) are the only original members. Kirk has been the most consistant guitarist but had replaced Dave Mustain ( MegadetH ) back in 1982. And Robert Just joined metallica in 2003, replacing Jason Newstead as bassist.
1922 ^^^ WRONG!! He joined during the same year Cliff died (1986) and it's Jason Newsted. But if you are talking about James Hetfield, he has been there since the very beginning with Lars.
I could be wrong but I don't think so. I've seen some pics of him on drums and they definitely weren't there but it was an add for Pearl or something so it may not have been completely accurate.
