Metallica with Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies

Formed in Texas, Pantera evolved from an 80s glam outfit into a dominant 90s metal powerhouse defined by vocalist Phil Anselmo and guitarist Dimebag Darrell. Their major-label breakthrough came with 1992s Vulgar Display of Power, followed by the chart-topping Far Beyond Driven in 1994. Known for their singular groove metal style, the band dissolved after internal tensions and tragic deaths.

Formed in 1981 by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, Metallica is a legendary rock band that has sold 120 million albums worldwide. Known for their multi-platinum Black Album, they have won nine Grammy Awards and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

Formed in Venice, California, in the early 1980s by vocalist Mike Muir, Suicidal Tendencies pioneered skatepunk with vicious hardcore before transitioning to thrash metal. Their self-titled 1983 debut featured the hit institutionalized, helping shape the genre.
