The band embarked on the Kill 'Em All For One tour with Raven to support the release. Released on Megaforce Records in the United States and Music for Nations in Europe, the album peaked on the Billboard 200 at number 120, and although the album was not initially a financial success, it earned Metallica a growing fan base in the underground metal scene. Due to conflicts with the band's record label and the distributors' refusal to release an album with that name, it was renamed Kill 'Em All. In 1983, Metallica traveled to Rochester, New York to record its first album, Metal up Your Ass, with production duties handled by Paul Curcio. Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning (1983–1984) Mustaine said he did this to "straighten Metallica up", as Metallica referred to Mustaine as a drunk and said he could not play guitar. and Business Is Good!, Mustaine included the song "Mechanix", which Metallica renamed as "The Four Horsemen" on Kill 'Em All. 1 guitarist in your magazine." On Megadeth's 1985 debut album Killing Is My Business. In a 1985 interview with Metal Forces, Mustaine slammed Hammett saying, "it's real funny how Kirk Hammett ripped off every lead break I'd played on that No Life 'til Leather tape and got voted No. He said Hammett "stole my job." Mustaine was "pissed off" because he believes Hammett became popular by playing the guitar leads that Mustaine wrote. Mustaine, who went on to found Megadeth, has expressed his dislike for Hammett in interviews. Metallica's first show with Hammett was on April 16, 1983, at the nightclub The Showplace in Dover, New Jersey. Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett flew in to replace Mustaine the same afternoon. Band members decided to kick Mustaine out of the band due to drug and alcohol abuse, and violent behavior. After receiving no interest from various record labels, Zazula borrowed the money to cover the record's recording budget and signed Metallica to his own label, Megaforce Records. Concert promoter Johnny "Z" Zazula, who had heard the 1982 No Life 'til Leather demo, offered to broker a record deal with Metallica and New York City-based record labels. Metallica was ready to record its debut album, but when Metal Blade was unable to cover the additional cost, the band began looking for other options. Metallica's first live performance with Burton was at the nightclub The Stone in March 1983, and the first recording to feature Burton was the 1983 Megaforce demo. Hetfield and Mustaine wanted McGovney out as they thought that he "didn't contribute anything, he just followed." Although Burton initially declined the offer, by the end of the year he accepted on the condition the band move to San Francisco. The two were "blown away" by Burton's use of a wah-wah pedal and asked him to join Metallica. In the fall of 1982, Ulrich and Hetfield attended a show at the nightclub Whisky a Go Go which featured bassist Cliff Burton in a band called Trauma. Metallica recorded its first demo, Power Metal, a name inspired by Quintana's early business cards in early 1982. Although angered by the error, Metallica managed to create enough "buzz" with the song and the band played its first live show on March 14, 1982, at Radio City in Anaheim, California with newly recruited bassist Ron McGovney.
Released on June 14, 1982, early pressings of Metal Massacre I listed the band incorrectly as "Mettallica". Hetfield played bass on the song and Lloyd Grant was credited with a guitar solo. In early 1982, Metallica recorded its first original song "Hit the Lights" for the Metal Massacre I compilation. Dave Mustaine answered, and, after seeing his expensive guitar equipment, Ulrich and Hetfield recruited him. A second advertisement was placed in The Recycler for a position as lead guitarist. Ulrich used Metallica for the name of his band. Quintana had proposed the names Metal Mania and Metallica. Ulrich talked to his friend Ron Quintana, who was brainstorming names for a fanzine. Slagel accepted, and Ulrich recruited Hetfield to sing and play rhythm guitar.
Although he had not formed a band, Ulrich asked Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel if he could record a song for the label's upcoming compilation Metal Massacre. Metallica was formed in Los Angeles, California, in early 1981 when drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper-The Recycler-which read "Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden." Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement.
