As long as I know Metallica has recorded 115 songs.
Metallica got their name thanks to Lars Ulrich. His friend Ron Quintana was making a 'fanezine'. he was either going to name it Metallica or Metal Mania. Lars persuaded that Metal Mania was the better choice for his fanzine so that Metallica would be free to take. So in a way the name was 'stolen'
I thought Ron couldn't go. But there was a metallica concert that he went to and the other band members invited him onstage to play seek and destroy or something. I dont think he accepted to play though.
