Ron McGovney (born November 2, 1963 [1]) was Metallica's first bass player when they formed in the early 1980s. He was replaced by Cliff Burton. After leaving/being dismissed from Metallica, McGovney was disillusioned with music and sold most of his equipment. However, several years later, he was enticed into another band called Phantasm with ex-Hirax (at that time) singer Katon W. De Pena. McGovney found the label of "Metallica's first bassist" too difficult to handle, and he left Phantasm after a handful of shows. is the 306th day of the year (307th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

McGovney met James Hetfield in high school. They became friends through a mutual love of heavy rock, and alienation from their peers. Hetfield convinced McGovney to learn bass guitar, bought an instrument and an amplifier, and proceeded to teach McGovney. Soon, the pair moved into one of McGovney's parents' rental houses, which was due to be demolished.

Departure McGovney noted that his time in Metallica was not enjoyable. McGovney found himself being not only the bassist, but also the manager of the band, having to do promotion work (he was responsible for the "Power Metal" slogan that Metallica used in its early days) as well as drive the band to gigs. He believed that his efforts in the band were not appreciated, and felt insulted when the band began searching for a new bassist, Cliff Burton, behind his back. McGovney eventually left Metallica after their first lead guitarist, Dave Mustaine, poured beer down the neck of his bass guitar. When McGovney turned on the amp his bass was plugged into, he received a major electric shock. Clifford Lee Burton (February 10, 1962 â September 27, 1986) was a bass guitarist, best known for his work with the thrash/heavy metal band Metallica from 1982-86. ...
