Metallica’s first lead guitarist was Dave Mustaine. On April 11, 1983, he was fired from Metallica due to his uncontrollable addictions and violence and his feuds with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the band’s founding members. Despite this, he went on to have a long and prosperous career thanks to the band he founded, “Megadeth.”
