Metallica is an American heavy metal band. It was formed in Los Angeles in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career.

The $5.98 E.P. Garage Days Re-Revisited is the first extended play by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on August 21, 1987, by Elektra Records. It consists of covers of late-’70s and early-’80s new wave of British heavy metal bands and punk rock music rehearsed in Lars Ulrich’s soundproofed garage and then recorded in Los Angeles over the course of six days. It is the group’s first release following the death of bassist Cliff Burton and the first to feature his successor, Jason Newsted.
