When the Four Horsemen galloped to the top of dozens of countries\u2019 charts with their self-titled album in 1991, they became the new measuring stick for their genre, and their standard is one that no hard rockers since have matched, let alone outdone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>No Life \u2019Til Leather \u2013 A Tribute to Metallica\u2019s Kill \u2019Em All<\/em>&nbsp;unites&nbsp;<strong>Metallica<\/strong>\u2019s favourites, their peers, and the generations that came next.&nbsp;<strong>Metallica<\/strong>\u2019s first proper tour was with&nbsp;<strong>Raven<\/strong>&nbsp;in 1983, on the famous&nbsp;<em>Kill \u2018Em All For One<\/em>&nbsp;venture.
