Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich established their new project, Metallica, in October 1981. With the addition of McGovney and guitarist Dave Mustaine early the next year, the first gigging lineup of the band was completed. After their debut performance on March 14, the band spent 1982 rehearsing in McGovney's parents' long-since-demolished rental property near the 605 freeway and building a local following in the Los Angeles and Orange County heavy metal scenes. They recorded several demos during this time, including one recorded in McGovney's garage, the "Power Metal" demo, and the live "No Life 'Til Leather". A recording of the song "Hit the Lights" with McGovney playing bass was featured on a repressing of the "Metal Massacre Vol. 1" album.
