       When Metallica formed, all James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, and Lars Ulrich wanted to do was rage on finger-breaking thrash metal — until they met Cliff Burton. The bassist had been playing with a rival metal group, and when they saw him play a jaw-dropping bass solo, they wanted him in Metallica so badly that they relocated from Los Angeles to his native Bay Area at his request. Once in the band, Burton introduced the guys to R.E.M., the Misfits, and Bach, opening them up to a new musicality, as he added orchestral flourishes and bass virtuosity to some of their hardest-hitting songs. His bass solo, “(Anesthesia) — Pulling Teeth,” on their 1983 debut,  Kill ‘Em All,  is an aggressive showcase of classical-music improvisation and wah-wah lyricism, while his delicate intro to “Damage Inc.” and the middle of “Orion” showed just how beautiful thrash could be. His concepts continued to resonate with the band after his death in a bus accident in 1986.    METALLICA     Ride The Lightnin

        A troubled man with a brilliant knack for electric guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughan is seen as a crucial figure in the blues revival. Vaughan had many diverse influences such as Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, and Chuck Berry, and he helped found the blues rock group, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, where he, Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton and Reese Wynans recorded a number of well-known and famous songs such as “Pride and Joy,” “Voodoo Child” and “Crossfire,” to name a few. He led an embattled personal life that could have very well derailed his career. Fortunately, during his time on Earth, Stevie built a legacy that continues to inspire musicians today. Vaughan’s life was tragically cut short following a helicopter crash while on tour with Eric Clapton, but in his relatively short years as a musician, he crafted some of the most popular classic rock and blues songs.

        This dynamic rock violinist has played with everyone from UK, Roxy Music, and Frank Zappa to Jethro Tull. Jobson's recordings as a leader showed much promise in their use of keyboards, computer-generated sounds, and wailing electric-violin solos. Too bad he hasn't released more of his own music.
