The lead vocals of Metallica are done by none other than the infamous James Hetfield.
No, The only people in Metallica ever were, James Hetfield,Lars Ulrich,Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo,Dave Mustaine. There was 2 other bass players but I forgot their names. \m/
There have been four other members in Metallica prior to the present day (2013). Ron McGovney who was replaced by Cliff Burton. After Cliff's death, he was replaced by Jason Newstead. They are no longer members of Metallica. In addition Dave Mustaine was with Metallica until 1983 - he was replaced by Kirk Hammet who remains with Metallica.
James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich do the majority of the writing. Over the last few albums they have had allowed more input from other members such as Kirk Hammet, Jason Newsted, and Rob Trujillo.
Lars Ulrich (drummer of Metallica) put in an ad in the newspaper for auditions for a band (metallica) with people influenced by motorhead, iron maiden, deep purple etc. James Hetfield (singer and rhythm guitarist) saw the ad and joined the band. -1981

The song was a collaboration between James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Dave Mustaine. Both Dave and James worked on the rhythm and lead sections, while Lars created the drumline. After being kicked out of Metallica, Mustaine recorded the song using the original lyrics and song title, Mechanix. It was released on Megadeath's first album, Killing Is My Business. . . And Business Is Good! Metallica on the other hand renamed it Four Horseman, added a melodic guitar solo in the middle, and changed the lyrics to best suit the new title.
Dave Mustaine NEVER sung a single word in Metallica, and only recorded their first demo "No Life 'Til Leather" The actual guitarist for Kill 'Em All was Kirk Hammet, but the riffs were written by Mustaine before he was kicked out of the band for being an alcoholic. James Hetfield definitely sung Ride The Lightning, as well as every other Metallica song.
James and Lars knew each other since they were in their late teens but that's about it
Metallica got their name as a result of Lars Ulrich having a conversation with a fellow heavy metal fan way back in 1979 or so.His friend was setting up a fanzine(a magazine run by fans) and had two names in mind.One was Metallica ,the other was something else.Lars realising how good Metallica as a name for a band would be talked his friend into calling the fanzine the other name.Lars then went down to the copyright office and registered the name Metallica as his.And the rest as they say is history.
For numerous years. 25+ years ago, he was prescribed pain killers and became dependent. At that point, he was already struggling with alcohol. Then picked up other addictions along the way. He talks openly about his addictions on interviews..
