Metallica was the favorite to win; ... the award was given to Jethro Tull for the album Crest of a Knave.[26] The result generated controversy among fans and the press, as Metallica was standing off-stage waiting to receive the award after performing the song "One". Jethro Tull had been advised by their manager not to attend the ceremony as he was expecting Metallica to win.[26] The award was named in Entertainment Weekly's "Grammy's 10 Biggest Upsets".[27] Three years later, Ulrich referred to the award when accepting a Grammy for "Enter Sandman" stating "We gotta thank Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year."[28]

Hetfield and Lars Ulrich came from different worlds to form Metallica in the L.A. suburbs in 1981. Hetfield, whose father was owner of a trucking company and mother a light-opera singer, was raised in a strict Christian Science home; Ulrich, a recently transplanted Dane, had intended to become a professional tennis player like his father, Torben Ulrich. What the two teenagers shared was an interest in the gritty music of U.K. hard rockers Motörhead. Adding guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist Ron McGovney, the band started writing songs and recording demo tapes. Metallica’s lineup solidified after Clifford Lee Burton replaced McGovney in 1982, and the Bay Area guitarist Kirk Hammett replaced Mustaine the following year.

According to the report, Napster's monthly growth pattern has been consistently strong with the exception of July, when Metallica's drummer, Lars Ulrich, came up with a list of 300,000 Napster users, and the RIAA filed a lawsuit against the fledgling company. Aside from this hiccup, Napster is on pace to compete with other freely downloaded applications such as WinAmp, WinZip, RealPlayer and Adobe Acrobat.
