Metallica - the 7th biggest selling act in American music history. During the 1980s, Metallica sold millions of albums
through relentless touring and positive word of mouth, despite virtually no radio play or publicity. During the 1990s
their sound became more complex and the group embraced radio and MTV to further expand their enormous fan
base. In late summer 2001, the band's recording sessions (and all other band-related matters) were put on hold as
Hetfield entered an undisclosed rehab facility for alcoholism and other addictions. He completed treatment and
rejoined the band and they headed back into the studio in 2002.
