...had another name. You can think it was all the music in and of itself, but surely band names and album covers and image in general adds a shitload of mystique and aura to the band in how it leaves a mark on the collective imagination.
"Metallica" was possibly the single best name they could've picked at that time with the metal genre gaining so much momentum and its rising popularity. "Metallica" made it sound like they were the band you had to get behind. Had they been called anything else, how much do you believe that would've impacted their success ? How about more ordinary album titles and covers ?
