The band is credited, along with the other "big four" thrash metal bands--Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax--with bringing the genre to mainstream America.

In 1998 the band compiled a double CD called "Garage Inc." The first CD contained newly recorded covers ranging from The Misfits, Thin Lizzy, 'Mercyful Fate' and Black Sabbath to more unexpected choices like 'Nick Cave' and Bob Seger (the band's cover of Seger's "Turn the Page" garnered extensive radio airplay). The second CD gathered together previously released covers, including the original "The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited", which had become a scarce collector's item. The CD also included B-side covers going as far back as 1984.

On September 27, 1986, during a European leg of shows, bassist 'Cliff Burton' was killed near Ljungby, Sweden, when the band's tour bus skidded off an icy road and flipped over.

On March 7, 1999, the band was inducted into the San Francisco Walk of Fame. The mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, proclaimed the day "Official Metallica Day" in San Francisco.

In July, 2001, James Hetfield entered rehab due to "alcoholism and other addictions".
