href="/wiki/Metallica" title="Metallica">Metallica</a></div> <p>In June 1981, McGovney formed his first band, Leather Charm, with his childhood friend Hetfield and guitarist Hugh Tanner of Hetfield's previous band, Phantom Lord. Tanner soon left Leather Charm to pursue a career in music management; the subsequent lineup featured guitarist Troy James and drummer Jim Mulligan. The group rehearsed a set of <a href="/wiki/New_Wave_of_British_Heavy_Metal" class="mw-redirect" title="New Wave of British Heavy Metal">New Wave of British Heavy Metal</a> covers and original material for a period of months, but Mulligan's departure later that year led to the band's demise. </p><p>Hetfield and drummer <a href="/wiki/Lars_Ulrich" title="Lars Ulrich">Lars Ulrich</a> established their new project, Metallica, in October 1981. With the addition of McGovney and guitarist <a href="/wiki/Dave_Mustaine" title="Dave Mustaine">Dave Mustaine</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Interstate_605" title="Interstate 605">605 freeway</a> and building a local following in the Los Angeles and <a href="/wiki/Orange_County,_California" title="Orange County, California">Orange County</a> heavy metal scenes. They recorded several demos during this time, including <a href="/wiki/Metallica_demos#Ron_McGovney's_'82_Garage_demo" class="mw-redirect" title="Metallica demos">one recorded in McGovney's garage</a>, the <i><a href="/wiki/Metallica_demos#Power_Metal_demo" class="mw-redirect" title="Metallica demos">Power Metal</a></i> demo and the <i><a href="/wiki/No_Life_%27Til_Leather" class="mw-redirect" title="No Life 'Til Leather">No Life 'Til Leather</a></i> demo. A recording of the song "<a href="/wiki/Kill_%27Em_All#"Hit_the_Lights"" title="Kill 'Em All">Hit the Lights</a>" with McGovney playing bass was featured on a repressing of the <i><a href="/wiki/Metal_Massacre#Metal_Massacre_–_1982" title="Metal Massacre">Metal Massacre Vol. 1</a></i> album. </p><p>McGovney's time in Metallica was reportedly tumultuous, as he often clashed with Ulrich and Mustaine. He felt that, aside from using his connections made as an amateur photographer, his role was that of monetary and transportation provider, rather than a respected member of the band. He ultimately quit on December 10, 1982, due to growing tensions, and was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Cliff_Burton" title="Cliff Burton">Cliff Burton</a>. After leaving Metallica, McGovney became uninterested in playing music and sold most of his equipment.<sup id="cite_ref-mwuk_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mwuk-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Phantasm">Phantasm</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ron_McGovney&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Phantasm"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Phantasm_(band)" title="Phantasm (band)">Phantasm (band)</a></div> <p>In 1986, <a href="/wiki/Hirax" title="Hirax">Hirax</a> vocalist <a href="/wiki/Katon_W._De_Pena" class="mw-redirect" title="Katon W.
