Formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, Metallica ended the 1990s as the best-selling rock act of the decade. Their nine albums have sold more than 90 million copies worldwide, and they have proved to be one of the most popular and enduring rock acts of all time. Their latest multi-platinum album 'St. Anger' has just been nominated for a Grammy, and they will be touring more than 80 cities in Europe and North America in the summer of 2004.
