    Lars Ulrich formed Metallica in 1981 by placing an ad seeking musicians. The original lineup included James Hetfield, Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, and Ulrich. They established themselves as one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s by expanding the limits of the thrash metal genre. Their song "One" was inspired by the anti-war novel "Johnny Got His Gun" and tells the story of a soldier who loses his limbs and face in war but remains conscious.
