Answer 2

The song called Nothing Else Matters, Enter The Sandman, One, Master of Puppets and many more.

Well that kinda depends on what you mean by famous. Metallica was made "famous" on the west cost and originally looked at by promoters with the demo/single releases of "Power Metal" and "No Life Till Leather" after getting their name out with the song "Hit the Lights" written for the 1982 compilation "Metal Massacre". Afterward they wrote and recorded the original album "Metal Up Your A ss" Later re-named to "Kill Em All". While Kill Em All made 120 on billboard it did not make them the household name they are today. To promote the album they began the "Kill Em All for One" tour with the band "Raven" that ran the US. And were jetted up to a world wide tour with "Venom". That lead to the recording of "...And Justice for All" in Copenhagen, Denmark. ... which started it all! (years and years of work has made them the household name they are today.)
