I agree, but no solos from KEA? Those on Hit The Lights and The Four Horsemen are top notch (who cares if he does nothing but cycling through pentatonic licks, they do the job).
my personal list would be: 15. the thing that should not be 14. fight fire with fire 13. wherever i may roam 12. welcome home (sanitarium) (second solo, after first chorus) 11. master of puppets (first solo) 10. master of puppets (main solo) 9. creeping death 8. to live is to die (james's solo) 7. one 6. orion (first solo) 5. blackened 4. fade to black (outro solo) 3. disposable heroes 2. the unforgiven 1. ride the lightning honorable mentions would be: nothing else matters ...and justice for all the call of ktulu welcome home (sanitarium) (opening solo) dyers eve the god that failed i don't know which master of puppets solo i prefer, so they can be interchangeable
This is one of the metallica myths some say its the first solo some the 2nd I think Kirk played all the solos, I remember reading he said he played the solos in orion on a rush he never said James played any solo but idk
My list is pretty simple, 5. Welcome Home (1st Solo/Opening Solo 4. The Unforgiven 3. Ride the Lightning 2. Disposable Heroes 1. Fade to Black (Outro Solo)
I don't think one is as difficult to play as a lot of other Metallica solos. I can play it to a recognizable degree and I'm only on the guitar a year and half
Thing that should not be is so underrated! Thanks for giving it the attention it deserves! Wherever I May Roam and Sanitarium aren’t exactly underrated but they’re both awesome! Great job!
To live is to die might be Kirk. The "solo" could refer to Hetfield's clean part, although since the solo is over that riff I suspect it is James. However the one time they played it it was Hammet so idrk. Great list. Might include Eye of the Beholder instead of Dyer's Eve and put the intro solo instead of the outro solo to Fade to Black. Great work as always!!!
It amazes me how no one here (or at least the comments I’ve read) mentioned The Four Horsemen. In my opinion one of the best Metallica solos, and probably my favorite one. Pretty much on par for Ride The Lightning. Of course it was written by Dave Mustaine, therefore they can’t play it live, but still, the solo exists…
Being written or not by Mustaine doesnt matter live, they play the other songs normally anyway. The Four Horsemen one they cut it off because the slow part messes up with the concert pacing according to them
For me it would be: 15. The Thing That Should Not Be 14. Nothing Else Matters 13. The Unforgiven 12. The Four Horsemen (1st solo) 11. Dyers Eve 10. Master Of Puppets (James’ solo) 9. One 8. Disposable Heroes 7. Creeping Death 6. Welcome Home (last solo) 5. To Live Is To Die (James’ solo) 4. Blackened 3. Ride The Lightning 2. And Justice for All 1. Fade to Black (ending solo)
Every time when that part of master of puppets, i always kicks harder making me feel about me rocking on playing guitar while I get exposed about my true darkest past in live at Tokyo, japan
so does load, reload, death magentic, hardwired, or 72 seasons not exist? i'd understand 72 and hardwired not being included but cmonnnn load reload and DM have AMAZING Solos
La cantidad de solos fantásticos que creo Hammett es casi absurdo, no se ha visto a tantos guitarristas hacer eso en el rock, así como absurdos son los comentarios de los haters que no saben apreciar el trabajo que ha hecho Kirk.
