6. They Have Over 80 Full-Time Staff Members Working For Them

When you’re a band as big as Metallica, you need more than a few people on the payroll. However, they don’t just have a few, they have almost 100 members in their staff working tirelessly behind the scenes.

Many estimate their full-time staff count to be in the region of 83, which is certainly quite a hefty number for just one act. Famously, they even had a psychologist on the books during the recording of their very patchy St. Anger LP – something which was chronicled in their Some Kind of Monster documentary.

The clever PR department, the slick web design, the well-packaged live footage – the credit goes to the unsung heroes behind Metallica that make all of those things happen.
