So, what are your favorite metallica solos? Mine would be, in no particular order: Creeping Death No Remorse Blackened One Four Horsemen Whiplash All Nightmare Long Ride the Lightning Suicide and Redemption Sanitarium Orion ------------- " Men are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own minds." - FDR |

I enjoy a lot of Metallica's solos, but the fact that I can't remember any of them specifically (except for Creeping Death and Ride the Lightning) says something as well....

"Ride the Lightning" is my all-time favorite, but "The Call of Ktulu," One," and "Sanitarium" are up there too.
Also, the melodic solo in the middle of "Master of Puppets" is really good. ------------- "I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...." |

| the obvious thing that needs to be said, and no offence, metallica sucks, megadeth clearly has most talent. |

No one has made the "they all sound the same!" joke yet? Honestly, a lot are cool but the only one that is jumping out at all is Fade to Black. My favorite metallica song btw. |

I actually enjoy James Hetfield's guitar playing much more than Kirk Hammet's. So for me, it's the middle solo in Master Of Puppets.

Yeah, I used to not think of much of Hetfield....but as time went on I now think that he is a better guitarist/musician than Kirk. In fact, I like Kirk but I now think he's quite over rated. |

Hammett is one of the most overrated guitarists in rock/metal. Hetfield is an excellent rhythm guitarist and his contribution to songwriting too is far more substantial than Hammett's.

None, the band sucks and only thing worthwhile about it is the intro of Master Of Puppets  -------------

Yes, I've quite warmed to Hetfield. I think he is not only a good guitarist but musician, much better than Hammett. I think his rhythm guitar work is a major part of the bands success. Oh, and if anyone has the guitar hero version of DM (far superior quality) you can hear Suicide & Redemption with a Kirk/James solos. James' is better!  |

| I really like the solo in Master of Puppets (the song), as well as Orion (one of my all-time favourite songs). Bet you can't guess my favourite Metallica album too! |

Which one? There are a few.

The slow one straight after when the chorus fades "Master....master...master..." then it starts up. Love it.

Yeah, that's the one I said, too. It's James' solo.

Kurt Hammett has never seemed to me, a very good soloist. It all seems lifeless to me.
The cleaner soloing is good, and the melodic lead playing during the softer section in Master of Puppets is phenomenal.
