They had one or two records out before Kill 'em all.

Really? I think you'll find it was their debut in 1983 (I think....still remember sliding that vinyl out of the sleeve! :sigh). I'd have thought you'd have the sense to at least do a quick wiki search before posting such nonsense.

Oh well. Third bag of popcorn...

I watched the band's bio and I read some of it. I also read Slash's bio.

The album that came out before Kill em all was exclusively sold at the record store where they practiced.

Sorry you've lost me. Are you talking about cassette demos? If yes, then of course, tell me a band that doesn't have a back catalogue of them. But a record? Sold where exactly? What was it called? What tracks were on it? Are you sure you arent a) thinking of a different band? b) on crack? c) both?

We bassplayers are like American football offensive linemen: We keep the foundation formed and do the dirty work, but the quarterback (guitarist, in our case) is the golden boy, with the unheard-of paycheck and the sexy girlfriend and the publicity, but at the end of the day, we know who's the real workhorse. We are the unsung heroes!!

I ain't smokin nothin. I believe the record shop was in New Jersey, but I forget. N' why does everyone keep sayin that they started recording in LA? That's not what was in the bands bio, but I would think that they met in LA. That's where Slash is from(I think he was born in England, but lived with his mother in Cali) .

Bizarre. How did Slash end up in this? And what's the name of this record...or have you forgotten that too?

Sorry. Trying to run multiple posts at the same time. I believe the album was self titled.

The self titled album was released in 1991.

They recorded Kill 'Em All in NYC in 1983

Kill 'Em All was originally titled Metal Up Your @$$ but the record company made them change it

Slash has never been in Metallica, and frankly the thought of that makes my skin crawl

And you need to do more research.

And Justice For All was their greatest and last album to my recollection. I choose not to identify them after that. As far as I'm concerned, they broke up after that album.

Ride The Lightening is my favourite. I also loved Kill 'Em All and Master Of Puppets, and can stomach everything else up to and including Load. The rest... nope. Burn it up :D
