Formed in October 1981 in California, Metallica are the most successful heavy metal band of all time. They have sold over 200 million records worldwide and are one of rock music's longest-running success stories. Despite that, it has often been a rocky road for Metallica.
于1981年10月在加里福尼亚成立的“金属乐队”，一直以来都是最成功的重金属乐队。他们在全球范围内售出了2亿多张唱片，是摇滚乐界最经久不衰的成功传奇之一。尽管如此， “金属乐队”在前进的道路上常常是充满艰辛的。
The Line-up乐队阵容
James Hetfield(Vocals and rhythm guitar)
詹姆斯・赫特菲尔德（主唱兼节奏吉他手）
James Hetfield answered a magazine advert in 1981 that led him to co-found one of the greatest rock acts in history. He is the main songwriter, lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and founding member of Metallica. He is known for his stage presence, muscular riffing style and often-imitated signature growl. During the recording of the St. Anger album, Hetfield went into rehab for alcoholism and "other addictions" - alcohol had long been a problem for Hetfield. He rejoined the band after 11 months and continued with the album. He is now sober and clean and is determined to remain so.
1981年，詹姆斯・赫特菲尔德应征了一则杂志广告，从而使他与别人一道创建了历史上最伟大的摇滚乐队之一。他是“金属乐队”的歌曲主创、主唱、节奏吉他手以及创始成员。并且以其台风、强劲的演奏风格和常被效仿的标志性狂吼而著称。在录制《怒火街头》这张专辑期间，赫特菲尔德因酗酒（长期以来，嗜酒对于赫特菲尔德来说都是一个问题）和“其它嗜瘾”而住进了康复中心。11个月后，他重返乐队，继续制作该专辑。现在，他洁身自好，并决定将这个样子保持下去。
Lars Ulrich (Drums)
拉斯・乌尔里克（鼓手）
Born in Denmark, Ulrich moved to the US when he was 17 to train in tennis. But he soon gave up sport for music. Lars was the real creator of the band. He placed the ad that got them together and even came up with the name - sort of. A friend asked him for advice on what he should call his new heavy metal magazine - "Metal Mania" or "Metallica"? Ulrich advised him to go for "Metal Mania", because secretly he thought "Metallica" was very cool and wanted to use it himself!
出生在丹麦的乌尔里克，17岁时迁居美国接受网球培训。但不久他便放弃体育而转向音乐。拉斯是这支乐队的真正缔造者。他刊登了那个将众人聚到一起的广告，甚至还提出了乐队名称--差不多算是吧。一个朋友向他征求意见：如何来命名其新的重金属乐杂志，是“Metal Mania”，还是“Metallica”？乌尔里克建议他选用“Metal Mania”，因为他私下认为“Metallica”这个名字非常酷，想自己留用！
Kirk Hammett (Lead guitar)
柯克・汉密特（主音吉他手）
Hammett was invited to join Metallica after the 1983 dismissal of the band's original lead guitarist Dave Mustaine for substance abuse. At the time Hammett was taking private guitar lessons from now famous Joe Satriani. In 2002, he became the first inductee into Guitar World magazine's Hall of Fame. He has toured with Metallica for more than twenty years and is a role model for many modern guitarists.
1983年，在乐队的原主音吉他手戴夫・马斯汀因滥用瘾品而被开除之后，汉密特应邀加入“金属乐队”。当时，汉密特正在私下里师从现已成名的乔・赛奇安尼学习吉他课程。2002年，他成为了第一个应选《吉他世界》杂志“名人堂”的人。他跟随“金属乐队”巡回演出了20多年，是很多现代吉他手的学习楷模。
Cliff Burton (Bass guitar)
克里夫・博顿（贝司手）
Cliff Burton joined Metallica in 1982, on the condition that the band relocate to San Francisco. They were so keen to have him that they did so. He was, and still is, considered to be one of the best bassists in heavy metal history. Burton died in 1986 when the band's tour bus hit black ice and flipped over in rural Sweden. As the bus was skidding and rolling, he fell out of a window and was crushed by the bus. He was 24 years old.
1982年，克里夫・博顿在开出了乐队要迁到旧金山的条件后加入了“金属乐队”。乐队成员非常渴望他的加入，于是就此照办。他被认为是重金属史上最棒的贝司手之一，过去如此，现在依然如此。博顿死于1986年，当时乐队的巡演巴士在瑞典的乡下碰上黑冰翻了车。当汽车打滑翻滚之时，他跌出窗口被巴士碾过。那时他24岁。
Jason Newsted (Bass guitar)
杰森・纽伊斯蒂德（贝司手）
Jason joined Metallica in 1986 as a replacement for the late Cliff Burton and made his recording debut with the band on the album nd Justice For All. Jason withstood a series of ongoing practical jokes during the mammoth two-year tour supporting that album He felt that the hazing never stopped, and that even after thirteen years, he was never really accepted as a full member of the band. He left Metallica in 2001, citing ill health as the reason. In fact, he and Hetfield had clashed over whether he should pursue other projects at the same time as being in Metallica.
1986年，杰森作为已故的克里夫・博顿的替代者加入了“金属乐队”，并和乐队一道制作了专辑《为了一切的正义》，完成了他的首次录音。在为该专辑进行的为期两年的巨型巡演宣传活动中，杰森经受了一系列不断发生的恶作剧。他觉得这种侮辱从未间断过，甚至在13年之后，他也从未被真正接纳为乐队的正式成员。2001年，他以健康有问题为由离开了“金属乐队”。事实上，他和赫特菲尔德就他是否在隶属于“金属乐队”的同时应该从事其它（乐队的）活动而产生了冲突。
Robert Trujillo (Bass guitar)
罗伯特・楚吉罗（贝司手）
Rob Trujillo has previously played bass with such diverse musicians as Suicidal Tendencies, Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne. He joined Metallica in 2003, replacing Jason Newsted and receiving an up-front payment of $1,000,000.
罗伯特・楚吉罗此前曾为不同的乐人弹奏过贝司，如“自杀倾向乐队”、“烈酒公社乐队”的乐人和奥兹・奥斯朋。他于2003年加入“金属乐队”，将杰森・纽伊斯蒂德取而代之并预先收到了100万美元的薪金。
Dave Mustaine (Lead guitar)
戴夫・马斯汀（主音吉他手）
A highly talented guitarist, Dave Mustaine was there at the beginning, joining Metallica in 1981. However, he was also very unstable and was fired in 1983 for his alcoholism and drug abuse. He returned to Los Angeles and formed the band Megadeth, which went on to be successful, though not as much as Metallica.
天赋极高的吉他手戴夫・马斯汀是初始成员，1981年就加入了“金属乐队”。然而，他性情也非常不稳，在1983年因其酗酒和滥用而被开除。他回到了洛杉矶，组建了“大屠杀乐队”，这支乐队后来取得了成功，不过还是比不上“金属乐队”。
