Hey i love the band metallica, have you heard about them much?
I've heard of them but haven't listened to their music.
Theyre great, they are an American heavy metal band and really pushed metal into the light of the general public and help make it a huge genre.
When did they start performing?
Lars, the drummer, and the lead singer James Hetfield started the band in 1981 and started playing some small gigs.
Are they still performing after all this time?
Yes they are but theyve talked about retiring as they say it could fall apart at any moment and are getting to old to play metal.
Wow.  I can't imagine getting to old to do something you love.
