On This Day in Metal: April 16th 1983 Kirk Hammett Played His First Show With Metallica

After recently firing Dave Mustaine from the band, Metallica was in need of a new guitarist and called Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett for whom they flew up to New Jersey from San Francisco to audition for them. He instantly bonded with the band and played his first concert with them at at The Showplace, Dover, New Jersey on April 16th 1983.

A few weeks before that he received a call from them to come and try out for them. At first he thought it was a April Fool's Day joke but it really wasn't.

In a post on X, Kirk told "This Day in Metal" about it.

Setlist:

1- Hit the Lights

2- The Mechanix

3- Phantom Lord

4- Jump in the Fire

5- Motorbreath

6- No Remorse

7- (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth

8- Whiplash

9- Seek and Destroy

Though some of us miss Dave Mustaine in Metallica it actually worked out for the better as we got two great bands in the form of Megadeth and Metallica

This week marks the 6th Anniversary of when Ozzy had a Tram named after him in his hometown of #Birmingham The first to be chosen for a Star in Birmingham's 'Walk Of Stars' ... And The first to have a tram named after him in his hometown as well! It seems only fitting to award him a Knighthood after over 50 years of services to music and charity, including performances for the Royal family! It's something you cannot ignore, wouldn't you agree? What more do I need to say to convince the UK Cabinet? #KNIGHTOZZYOSBOURNE #TheKnighthoodOfOzz #OzzyOsbourne #KnightOzzy #OzzyOsbourneTram #SirOzzy @ozzyosbourne @blacksabbath @birminghammail_ @zakkwyldebls @barbarannewylde @sharonosbourne @clarencehouse @thisdayinmetal @tv_unleashed @thetalkuk SIGN THE PETITION NOW!

Nov 7th 1981 #OzzyOsbourne released the GREAT album "Diary Of A Madman" #OverTheMountain #FlyingHighAgain #YouCantKillRockAndRoll #Tonight #HeavyMetal

The album's cover art features Osbourne's son Louis to his side, with Osbourne himself posing in theatrical make-up

Diary of a Madman is the second studio album by English heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. It was released in October 1981, and re-issued on CD on 22 August 1995. This is the last Osbourne studio album to feature guitarist Randy Rhoads and drummer Lee Kerslake. An altered version appeared in 2002 with the original bass and drum parts removed and re-recorded. In 2011, a Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition was released with all original parts restored. To date, the album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide

Diary of a Madman was supported by the Diary of a Madman Tour, which began on November 5, 1981, and ended August 8, 1982, spanning Europe, North America, and Asia. On March 19, 1982, during the North American leg of the tour, Rhoads died in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida; after a two-week break, the tour continued with guitarist Bernie Tormé performing several shows in place of Rhoads before in turn being replaced by Brad Gillis.
