Metallica basically defined modern metal. The band is considered one of the four founding fathers of the thrash metal genre along with Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. Basically, if you were a teen in the late ’90s, you probably couldn’t escape their hit single “Enter Sandman.” Seriously, it seemed like it was played on the radio every five minutes.

Metallica are still kicking in 2018, though in their old age some original fans claim they’ve lost their edge. The guys are dads now – so just let it go. They’re still the best band to jam along to in Guitar Herowhich is probably why Harmonix gave them their own­ game.
