Best Band Logos: No. 14

Metallica

Drummer Lars Ulrich dubbed the band, but it was guitar god James Hetfield who designed both of the group's logos. The original version made its first appearance in the early '80s on Metallica's first business card. The design got a face lift (after the band members got haircuts) for 1996's 'Load.'

Metallica is one of the greatest band ever. You can say that Megadeath is better, you can say that Metallica sucks, but anyway they still have millions fans all around the world. And all of these fans must have a reason why they love Metallica.

You guys do realize that Hetfield wrote most of Metallica's riffs. And some of the solos. So, in a way, Hetfield can play Hammett's solos if he wanted to.
