Flight Path Museum at LAX
2022-07-17 12:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Flight Path Museum
OPEN SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS- LAX
The Flight Path Museum & Learning Center is an aviation and aerospace museum with unique artifacts and views of the LAX runway. Flight Path Learning Center of Southern California was founded in 1995 as a nonprofit, community-based organization to honor aviation pioneers, recognize the economic importance of aviation and aerospace to Southern California, and encourage youth to pursue education and careers in aviation-related fields. The kickoff project was a series of sidewalk plaques in the LAX business district saluting aviation pioneers, organizations and locations. This “Flight Path” is the aviation equivalent of the famed Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Unique among the fine aviation museums in Southern California is the Flight Path Museum’s location, the only aviation museum and research center situated at a major airport and the only facility with a primary emphasis on contributions of civil aviation to the history and development of Southern California.

The Flight Path Museum gallery of exhibits, filled with memories of aviation’s golden years, is located adjacent to the LAX airfield, where today’s aircraft and travelers arrive and depart the world’s busiest origin and destination airport. No other museum offers such a perspective on contemporary aircraft and aviation.

Exhibits

COMMERCIAL AVIATION HISTORY EXHIBIT

The Flight Path museum houses an extensive collection of airline artifacts from the beginning of the commercial aviation era to present day. Experience the glamour of flight at the dawn of long-haul travel.

FLIGHT CREW UNIFORM EXHIBIT

Flight Path has over 600 uniforms from 68 airlines from around the world covering most of commercial flight history. Several pieces were special editions to mark specific events. Several of the uniforms are on display, while others can be viewed by request in the archive.

DC-3 PLANE EXHIBIT

The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with a tailwheel landing gear, with a cruise speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), commercial capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and could operate from short runways.

The Aircraft was displayed for many years at the California Science Center in Exposition Park in Los Angeles. It has been on loan to the Flight Path Museum LAX since September 2006.

SPACE EXPLORATION EXHIBIT

Astronaut Flight Suit
Space Debris
Model Rockets
Tribute to 50 years since the Apollo Program

Flight Path hosts the Space Exploration Gallery that spotlights the history and development of space flight. The gallery showcases a colorful and informative timeline of space exploration history together with a number of important space artifacts. Included is the flight suit of astronaut Gen. Kevin P. Chilton, commander of the Endeavour and Atlantis space shuttles.
There is an extension to the exhibit in the entrance courtyard where a piece from a spacecraft that has re-entered the atmosphere can be observed.

FLYING TIGERS EXHIBIT

Flying Tiger Line, also known as Flying Tigers, was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War era for both cargo and personnel. The airline was bought by Federal Express in 1988.

The airline was named after the Flying Tigers fighter unit of World War II, officially the 1st American Volunteer Group. Ten former AVG pilots formed the Flying Tiger Line (established as National Skyway Freight) after returning to the United States in 1945, using a small fleet of Budd Company C-93 Conestoga freighters purchased as war surplus from the United States Navy. The pilots and two ground crew provided half of the initial investment, with the balance coming from California oil tycoon Samuel B. Mosher. For the next four years, Flying Tiger Line carried air freight on contract throughout the U.S. and, as the airline expanded, carrying supplies to U.S. troops under Gen. Douglas MacArthur during the occupation of Japan.

FIRE FIGHTING VEHICLE EXHIBIT

On permanent display on the airside of the museum is a retied ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting) truck used at LAX. The Oshkosh M3000 model was manufactured by Oshkosh Corporation in Appleton, Wisconsin and entered service at LAX in 1995, it stayed in operation for about a decade and a half. Maximum operating load is 148,000lbs, 3,000 gallons of water and 500 gallons of foam. Made to reach potential accidents sites at top speed, it reached speeds of 50mph in a sprint.

Today, ARFF operations at LAX are conducted out of one station near the center of the airport, Station 80 is a part of the Los Angeles Fire Department. They currently operate six Panther trucks manufactured by Rosenbauer America. In addition to ARFF operations, there is a city fire-station that responds to EMS and non-ARFF emergencies on the airfield located within the airport operations area adjacent to Sepulveda Blvd.

Silverlake is known for its thrift stores and hipster coffee shops so it’s a no-brainer that it would also be home to the “Cutest Indie Flea Market.” Filled with local indie vendors selling everything from vintage clothing to rare vinyl and hosting free performances, this one-stop shop is essentially the flea market equivalent of (500) Days of Summer.

Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
2022-07-17 12:00 - 17:00 | Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, 3720 Stephen M. White Dr., San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
OPEN WEDNESDAY – SUNDAY- San Pedro
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium welcomes you to come discover the underwater world of Southern California.

Since 1935, we have been exhibiting Southern California’s rich diversity and adaptations of our local sea life through a combination of aquaria, interpretive displays and museum collections. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium’s Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall, Exploration Center, Aquatic Nursery and Virginia Reid Moore Marine Research Library comprise a unique science education facility where visitors of all ages can pursue informal marine biology education, ecological awareness, and scientific research training. These complex topics are made fun and accessible by the creative and informative exhibits.

Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall
The Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall showcases three major environments: Rocky Shores, Sand and Mud, and Open Ocean Ecosystems. Explore interpretative and live exhibits to learn about the many animals and plants that live in each habitat. From worms to whales – all are adapted to protect themselves, find food and reproduce.

Kelp Forests
The richest habitat along our Californian rocky shores is the kelp forest. Giant kelp is the largest and fastest growing of all seaweeds and forms the framework for the kelp forest community. It attracts and influences many other species of animals and plants within the forest. Later, when it tears loose as drift kelp, it provides large quantities of food for animals living on the seashore and ocean bottom.
Kelp bass, giant kelpfish, garibaldi, norris’ top snail, and kelp crabs are all common inhabitants of the kelp forest. Kelp anchors to the rocky bottom with a structure called the holdfast. The holdfast has many crevices and is home to many other animals such as spiny brittlestars and amphipods. The leaf-like kelp blades (also called fronds) provide a large surface area for photosynthesis. On the blades themselves, a bryozoan can grow rapidly and completely cover a kelp blade within 3-4 weeks.
Kelp forests are found along the west coasts of North and South America, the southern tip of Africa and Australia, and islands near Antarctica. Giant kelp grows best in well mixed, cool, clear ocean water. In southern California, giant kelp beds were common until the 1950s. Changes in water conditions and the near extinction of the southern sea otter, which resulted in a population explosion of the purple sea urchin, severely reduced the size and number of local kelp beds for several years. Due to restoration efforts, kelp forests have recovered along Palos Verdes in the last several years.

Mudflats
The mudflat habitat is an enclosed coastal area with fresh and saltwater saturated sediments. Mudflats appear barren but conceal a rich variety of life. Many animals depend on this fragile and threatened habitat. Commercially important fish, such as the California halibut, use this habitat as a nursery ground which provides protection and a rich source of food.
The area surrounding the upper part of the mud is called the saltmarsh and teems with plants. Marsh plants provide shelter and living space for other organisms. The breakdown and decay of these plants produce organic debris which is a rich food source for a variety of invertebrates, like fiddler crabs and amphipods. These animals are an attractive food source for the mudflat’s large bird population, including the willet and snowy egret. Over 100 species of birds reside in or visit southern California mudflats.
The highest zone is dominated by salt grass which can tolerate only the occasional tidal flooding that occurs at this level. The middle zone is characterized by pickleweed which is more tolerant of tidal flooding. The lowest zone teems with eel grass which is one of the few marsh plants that can grow completely underwater.
Visit the mudflat room at the aquarium to learn more about marsh plants and the many animals that depend on this important habitat.

Rocky Shores
The rocky shore is a difficult place to live, yet some of the largest and most diverse populations of marine plants and animals can be found here. Explore how these animals have many different adaptations to protect themselves and find food.
Seaweeds and microscopic plants produce the basic food of the ocean using the sun’s energy. Seaweeds then provide food for such grazers as snails, sea hares and urchins. In the rocky shore, sponges, sea squirts, mussels, fanworms and barnacles filter tiny food particles from the water. Sea anemones and their relatives are hungry predators. These animals, in turn, are eaten by the flamboyant nudibranch slugs and other snails.
The richest habitat along our Californian rocky shores is the kelp forest. Kelp grows up to two feet a day and provides food and shelter for many other plants and animals.
Hunters of the seashore capture their prey in different ways. Sea stars use hundreds of tube feet. Worms and snails may drill or harpoon their prey, while some crabs use powerful crushing claws.
While visiting the touch tank you can experience a variety of rocky shore marine life such as a sea star or a prickly urchin. The touch tank expert will teach you the names and special traits of the marine life as well as answer any of your questions.

Open Ocean
The vast open ocean and deep sea are home to delicate jellyfish, light-producing animals, and other organisms ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre.

Be sure to stop by the Sea Jelly Lab and see what’s growing in this open husbandry lab. Students, volunteers and staff are often seen working on a variety of projects here. You might even be shown baby jellies on the microscope monitor.
Shapes, colors, and behavior of the fish in the Fish Diversity Tank reflect where and how these fish live. See how sharks come in an amazing variety of sizes, shapes, and habitats and how some of the biggest sharks are gentle filter-feeders instead of ferocious predators.
The Channel Islands are major breeding grounds for many thousands of seabirds, seals and sea lions. Feeding and nesting habitats are displayed.
Whales and dolphins, descended from land mammals, are the largest and most intelligent animals of the ocean. The lives of these big mammals are examined in special exhibits on feeding, a video of various cetaceans, displays of whale and dolphin skeletons, and recordings of whale sounds

Our marine life is all from Southern California. Want to see some of them and learn more?

Take a look around our exhibits to experience the marine life of Southern California.

PENINSULA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association is a neighborhood organization open to all Peninsula residents, whether property owners or renters, for a per person annual fee of $25.00. It has a volunteer Board of Directors who are nominated and elected by the members of the Peninsula Neighborhood Association each November.
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association was incorporated in 1960 to oppose a plan by the City to replace the bayside beach with a sea wall, as exists in Naples, for private boat docks (thus the name Peninsula Neighborhood Association). Since winning that battle, the Peninsula Neighborhood Association has been actively involved in preserving the Peninsula’s quality of life through sponsoring local events and activities, as well as representing Peninsula residents before the City on matters that could affect our neighborhood.
MISSION STATEMENT:
To protect and preserve the beaches along the Long Beach Peninsula for public usage and to ensure these beaches
and community be maintained at the highest residential and recreational standards.
HISTORY
One of the first structures on the Peninsula was an isolated duck hunting club located at the bayside end of what is now 61st Place. The club was established at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The first summer beach homes, primarily owned by residents of Los Angeles and Pasadena, were built in 1902-04. Owners of these summer homes were able to reach the Peninsula by means of an interurban electric train that ran from Los Angeles to Newport Beach. The train ran down the center of Ocean Boulevard the length of the Peninsula and then across a trestle connecting the east end of the Peninsula to Seal Beach.
“The Pavilion,” which at various times during its history served as an expensive restaurant and roller skating rink, was established around 1910-12 at the oceanside end of 62nd Place, which was then called Pier Avenue. Pier Avenue undoubtedly got its name from the pier that extended out into the ocean from The Pavilion. The Pavilion and its pier burned down a few years before a massive hurricane swept across the Peninsula in 1939, destroying or causing significant damage to most structures throughout the Peninsula.
The Seaside Walk Boardwalk, which was built in the ’20s, is considered by residents to be a historical treasure. Attempts to replace it with concrete have been strongly opposed by Peninsula residents over the years and, in the 1980s, money was raised by residents to provide new surface boards (the City replaced the boards again in 2003).
The Peninsula has grown to encompass its current mix of single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums, and apartments. Residents are a diverse group of families, singles, and senior citizens who have been residents for decades. The Peninsula continues to evolve, while at the same time retaining its unique environment and lifestyle.

VENICE ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE
2022-07-17 17:30 - 21:00 | Venice Sign at Venice Beach, 1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA, 90291, United States
EVERY SUNDAY AT SUNSET @ The Venice Sign
Marcus Gladney created the Venice Electric Light Parade to bring together bike enthusiasts who love to light up their bikes and set out into the night along the beautiful Venice Beach boardwalk. Got a fancy two wheeler? Perhaps a chromed out, spoked up low rider with a banana seat and some Ape hangers? Maybe even a three wheeler trike with a sick ass sound system? A custom beach cruiser with enough LED’s to light up LAX? Whatever your jam, you will be in good company at the VELP!

“We are a group of Bicycle fanatics who ride every Sunday at Sunset in Venice Beach promoting Bicycle Safety. Come join us for the Electric Light Parade must have safety lights and wheel lights will be available for purchase. We meet every Sunday at Sunset, at Windward Plaza on the Boardwalk, down from the World famous Venice Sign.” The group travels up the Venice Bike Path to the Venice Pier, in Marina del Rey at Hinano’s Bar.

Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.
The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home.

This event promotes Bicycle Safety at Night. As much as 100 people show up each Sunday night for a chance to join the community for few hours of fun. Meet new people! Have some fun! Everyone welcome! All ages, all bikes.

Get Your Glow On at the Venice Electric Light Parade
Wheel Lights are NOT required to ride. But they are fun.

Hammer Museum Free Screening
2022-07-17 19:30 - 22:00 | Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90024, United States
TONIGHT- The Hammer Museum
The Hammer Museum presents a free screening of
Man Push Cart / Chop Shop
Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive’s American Neorealism, Part Two: 1984-2020 screening series. Register at cinema.ucla.edu to attend this in-theater screening.

In the wee hours of the Manhattan morning, Ahmad (Ahmad Rzavi) grinds out a living from a pushcart, serving coffee and croissants to the midtown business crowd. Writer-director Ramin Bahrani quickly establishes Ahmad’s Sisyphean existence, rolling the cart through the streets in darkness, rolling it back through rush hour traffic, repeat, before gradually pulling back from Ahmad’s labor to reveal the person struggling to get his life back on track. Bahrani’s post-9/11 immigrant story was critically acclaimed on its release and became a watershed film in the re-emergence of neorealism in American independent cinema.
(2005, dir. Ramin Bahrani, digital video, color, 87 min.)

CHOP SHOP

The Willets Point area of Queens, New York, where auto body shops and scrapyards crowded together in an open-air industrial marketplace—later bulldozed in 2016 for new development—forms the whole of the world for Ale (Alejandro Polanco), a 12-year-old street kid already well-versed in the hustle. Luring customers into a repair shop—where the owner also lets him crash—Ale works to save money, along with his older sister, Isamar (Isamar Gonzales), for a food truck and, hopefully, a way out. Writer-director Rahmin Bahrani surveys this almost post-apocalyptic milieu through Ale’s eyes, a child surviving at the cut throat fringe of late capitalism.
(2011, dir. Rahmin Bahrani, digital, color, 84 min.)

Carbon Lounge- 9300 Venice Blvd Culver City, CA 90232

Carbon Lounge is a fun, local, and energetic bar in Downtown Culver City spinning different music 7-days a week. The vibe was real chill and the music was always poppin’! You could tell the DJ was giving us his best because he was dj’n like it was a Saturday night!

The venue is small but kind of open since it has two entrances. It is really dark too so don’t expect to be able to see much while you’re in there.

What are people saying about Carbon on Yelp?
This place was a nice vibe with music you could really dance to you. The demographic was diverse and I could always love a diverse crowd- Alexis G. Perth Amboy, NJ
I come here when I want a ghetto ass place to get a stiff drink and shake my ass in a dive bar. Drinks have gotten a little pricey but they’re spicy. Appreciate the dicey atmosphere within steps of boujee downtown Culver City. Music late nights and they’re not open until late (9 is late for my old ass). Directly across from in n out on Venice or walk through the alley behind the east side of Main st in Culver City toward Venice Blvd.- Jen A. Culver City, CA
So I came here not knowing what to expect. I usually go to parties and clubs in OC or dance festivals. I’m 47 years old and single guy btw.
To make it short, the minute I got there I was approached by 2 extremely attractive white blonde girls. Unfortunately I found out one of them wasn’t even of legal age. But the other girl was. We danced and drank and all. We exchanged numbers and she actually called me.
This never happened to me in 33 years of going to clubs (yes I did go clubbing and drinking at the age of 14 when I lived in Germany…don’t know how I’m still alive and work for one of the most exciting and innovative companies on the planet lol.)
So yeah… go there. You won’t get disappointed. A LOT OF WHITE GIRLS WHO LIKE MINORITIES GO THERE. So much so that this place has more white chicks than guys lol- Alireza S. Los Angeles, CA

OPEN EVERY DAY- DTLA Wells Fargo Center

Graham Garden integrates Fountain Figures I-IV, a collection of graceful sculptures created by late Los Angeles artist Robert Graham, in a newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo. For over fifty years, Robert Graham’s observation of the female form and use of scale allowed him to explore and create a range of intimate sized works and large public monuments, widely celebrated for their precise iconic detail.
The sculptures were originally part of CRA/LA’s mission in 1985 to incorporate public art in redevelopment projects and revitalize Downtown Los Angeles. The four sculptures are currently situated in an exterior landscaped setting that Graham’s son, Steven Graham, consulted on as part of the renovation at Wells Fargo Center.

Robert Graham, was a Mexican born sculptor, and although you may not be familiar with his name, you probably ARE familiar with some of his work. Graham’s monumental bronzes commemorate the human figure, and are featured in 11 public places in and around the city of Angels. Including; The Olympic Gateway at the Memorial Coliseum, The Torso at Rodeo Drive, The Great Bronze Doors and Statue of Mary at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and The Dance Door – Los Angeles Music Center

And now, you can see his latest collection. The Robert Graham Sculpture Garden gracefully nestled in the newly designed outdoor plaza at Halo, at Wells Fargo Center.
This collection is a unique addition, to the Olympic Celebration, coming to LA in 2028, The collection of four bronze fountain figures, was inspired by gymnastic athleticism, strength, and beauty. Fountain waters flow over bronze and granite pedestals into a shallow reflecting pools, which are integrated into the Halo’s landscape.
You will find the Robert Graham Sculpture Garden at the very top of Bunker Hill, in DTLA at 330 S Hope St between Hope and Grand.

SEE A REAL ROCKET UP CLOSE
2022-07-18 | SpaceX, 1 Rocket Rd, Hawthorne, CA, 90250, United States
ON DISPLAY DAILY @ SpaceX Headquarters, Hawthorne
Would you like to see a real SpaceX Falcon 9 here in LA? You Can! Outside the SpaceX’s headquarters in Southern California. The company which created the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch mounted the 156-foot-tall (47-meter) gigantic space machine on vertical display for its significant milestone and as a testament to the perseverance of its founder, and chief engineer Elon Musk, who wants to reduce the cost of colonizing Mars by developing a fleet of fully reusable spaceships.

The rocket on display is the first SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to land successfully after years of research and experiment, during which the company switched from its initial plan to retrieve rockets with parachutes to a very thoughtful idea of involving multiple engine restarts, landing legs, and precision landing algorithms.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully stage landed at Cape Canaveral after a Dec. 21 launch with 11 Orbcomm communications satellites on vertical display. The rocket is a jaw-dropping out-of-space scientific attraction visible to passersby on nearby streets and freeways. The rocket is located near the southeast corner of SpaceX headquarters at the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd. and Jack Northrop Ave. in Hawthorne, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.

The historic masterpiece had to undergo thorough scrubbing and treatment to wash away soot residue it gathered from flying through its own exhaust, before it was brought to Hawthorne for permanent exhibition in front of SpaceX’s main building with the help of two heavy-lifting cranes.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket boosters that were recovered since its first mission are being put to use again and again as SpaceX has now flown a previously flown first stage on a satellite launch. This is the result of a successful five-year technology development program to develop reusable rocket launch systems.

Want to see a real rocket launch?

Don’t miss any of the exciting Rocket Launches Now Scheduled from the Vandenberg AFB in Southern California.
Parents, time to round up the whole family and take everyone out of to see real rocket fly through the sky. Anywhere that has a good west facing view of the Southern California sky, is great. Beaches are especially good locations, because of the lack of light over the ocean. Take a look at the video below, of a recent SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Launch from Vandenberg AFB.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

UCLA Meteorite Collection
2022-07-18 13:00 - 16:00 | UCLA Meteorite Gallery, Geology Building, Room 3697, 595 Charles Young Drive East, Westwood Village, CA, 90024, United States
FREE WEEKDAYS- UCLA Westwood Village
The UCLA Collection of Meteorites is the largest on the West Coast and contains over 2500 samples from about 1500 different meteorites. It is the fifth largest collection of meteorites in the United States and the second largest housed at a university.

Our collection includes the main masses of about 40 meteorites and the type specimens of more than 300 meteorites collected from hot deserts; 60 of these are iron meteorites. Eighty of these meteorite type specimens are from the state of California. These were collected by local citizens during the past few decades, mainly from the playas (dry lakes) scattered around the Mojave Desert.

Some of our meteorites are large and well suited for exhibits (in fact, some of them are exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History). However, most of the samples are small and mainly of value for research.

The study of meteorites and the processes that formed them is called cosmochemistry. The cosmochemists at UCLA are among the most productive university researchers in the world. It is thus appropriate that we have one of the best university meteorite collections.

We are in the second year of operating a Meteorite Gallery, located in room 3697 of the Geology Building. Opened in January 2014, the Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm. CLOSED WEEKENDS. Admission is always free. The current exhibits will gradually expand as funds and additional samples are obtained. For highlights of the Meteorite Gallery please click here.

We are eager to add meteorites to the UCLA collection. If you have a meteorite collection and are interested in considering a donation, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us here.

LOCATION
The Meteorite Gallery is located in room 3697 of the Geology Building on the UCLA campus.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band’s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding “big four” bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica’s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band’s third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums. Its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band’s first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era.
Metallica, like most of the music industry right now, is off the road. To help fans pass the time, they are introducing #MetallicaMondays. Each week the Free Metallica Monday Concert features a different live performance, on their YouTube and Facebook page every Monday night at 5 PM pacific.
