Member Timeline

Heavy Metal Business Intelligence: A Visual Data Exploration of Metallica's 30 Years on the Road

Simple timeline (in gantt chart form) of the different Metallica members and their time with the band (leaving voluntary or involuntary). Clicking on a face or a name will highlight one or the other, just for clarity / interactivity sake. Also, aggregates down to the "show" level for now, so total aggregate times in the band aren't calculated yet. Soon.

Let me know if you think I should include Bob Rock in the "vacant period".

Show and song data from Metallica.com, location and distances calculated by Google Maps API, song length data from MusicBrainz database, visualization software by Tableau Public, and putting it all together courtesy of Me.

Be the first to know when I add new analytic pages and breakdowns. Its going to be a great couple of years for Metallica fans.

Adding new stuff all the time and will be refreshed after every 2012+ Metallica show and festival. Think of anything that should be here but isn't, see anything that is wrong? Leave a comment, mate!
