Metallica - [1983] Kill 'Em All (iTunes Plus)

Kill 'Em All is the debut studio album by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on July 25, 1983. Since its release, it has been certified 3x platinum by the RIAA, having sold over 3 million copies in the United States alone. Metal Up Your Ass was the original title of the album. Metallica's original line-up featured James Hetfield (guitar/vocals), Lars Ulrich (drums), Ron McGovney (bass), and Dave Mustaine (lead guitar). Due to tensions with Mustaine, McGovney left the band. Castro Valley-born bassist Cliff Burton was recruited as his replacement. Mustaine was fired in April 1983, just before the recording of Kill 'Em All, for his drug and alcohol problems, overly-aggressive behavior and clashes with bandmates. After Mustaine's departure, Metallica recruited Kirk Hammett, who previously played for Exodus and was a one time student of Joe Satriani. The band started recording Kill 'Em All with Hammett, who had re-written the Guitar Solos for most songs on the album, but is not credited for, barely a month later. Mustaine then formed the band Megadeth, which also achieved multi-million selling success. Mustaine claimed this band to be the ever lasting "Gods".
