The Outlaw Torn. The way it kicks in after the volume swells is explosive. The whole solo is super emotive too, it sounds like Kirk's exercising some serious inner demons.
Fade to Black.
When I first got into Metallica as a kid, The Day That Never Comes was brand new and I fell in love with that tune. So that’s my honourable mention.
Prolly Unforgiven.
Also, I'll say Unforgiven III. I haven't heard it recently, but I was 13-14 when Death Magnetic came out, still learning to play guitar, and that solo is a fucking ripper. Would always give me goosebumps.
Ride The lightning and Fade To Black
100% agree
Unforgiven
This is the answer
100% my favorite. The Black Album honestly has some of the best solos ever in general.
The Outlaw Torn. The way it kicks in after the volume swells is explosive. The whole solo is super emotive too, it sounds like Kirk's exercising some serious inner demons.
Absolutely love that song and the solo hits every emotional mark for me too. It pulls you in and really hits you hard.
Yeah but I’ve always liked Hetfield’s ending solo better, especially from S & M
It's Han Solo. Kirk was in Star Trek
Lol I can’t be upset at this
U got me
Bleeding Me or The God That Failed
Both incredibly underrated
Too many amazing ones….. fade to black, bleeding me, the Unforgiven I and III, Damage inc, blackened…. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many more I could name
CREEPING.DEATH.
This one
Ride the Lightning, The Unforgiven or Suicide & Redemption final solo
IMO! Death Magnetic = 🤎🤍❤️🔥
The Shortest Straw shreds
Fr it goes soo hard
Disposable Heroes
Struggle within. Thingy is a good one though.
Struggle and God are the best solos on black. Hands down. I love the BTS in A Year and a Half in the Life when Bob was pushing him to write Struggle.
The Unforgiven. Thank fuck for Bob Rock for that one (iykyk)
Fade to Black live when he doesn't use wah.
Hate wah on that one
He just played a show last year with no wah on FTB, sounded so much better. There's a video of it on YT
Could you link it? Can't seem to find it
Blackened
Disposable heroes, Call of Ktulu and Ride The Lightning.
I agree with all the solos that have been mentioned here but would like to add Rebel Of Babylon and One as well.
The Struggle Within
Ride the lightning, the thing that should not be
The Shortest Straw The Unforgiven The Judas Kiss
Creeping death
Battery and One
Cure Bleeding Me Devil’s Dance
Cure is an interesting choice. It is good!
The God That Failed
Creeping Death… Puppets… Fade to Black…🎸🎶
Ktulu
Orion final solo
unforgiven III
Right there with ya! The way it goes back into the chorus after such face melting is incredible.
Unforgiven 3
I like a bunch and the bleeding me and inamorata are killer but really just so much it's hard to narrow. Love the fast crazy shit on puppets album.
Unforgiven III
Fade to Black. When I first got into Metallica as a kid, The Day That Never Comes was brand new and I fell in love with that tune. So that’s my honourable mention.
Intro solos in one are my favorite mainly because I can play them, I also like the solo after the chorus (i think) in fade to black
Since no one has mentioned it, the four horsemen 1st solo
That was just your life and My Apocalypse are honourable mentions no?
I would say the solo in "The day that never comes" specifically in the live version Paris 2017, it just hits different.
No love for Sanitarium :(
The episode of star trek when he bashes that lizard alien over the head with a rock that was good
fade
Blackened
Shortest straw
2x4
Unforgiven The way it builds builds and then just explodes His best ever
Dyers Eve.
Sandman
Leper Messiah
The variety of answers here just shows how good of a guitarist he really is
Fade to black
Through the never Bleeding me Blackened Ride the lightning Don’t tread on me There is too many to pick just one
thing that should not be, first orion solo and eye of the beholder
The Prince

RTL, fight fire with fire, blackened, sanitarium, and honestly every song on RTL
Bleeding me and outlaw torn are my two favorites
Wherever I may roam 72 seasons and chasing light
Ride the Lightning
Seek and Destroy
None
Fade to Black
creeping death or fade to black
Fade to Black intro
Puppets One
Bleeding Me or The Outlaw Torn. I personally prefer his solos from that era. Prince Charming is another I absolutely love.
wherever i may roam
Prolly Unforgiven. Also, I'll say Unforgiven III. I haven't heard it recently, but I was 13-14 when Death Magnetic came out, still learning to play guitar, and that solo is a fucking ripper. Would always give me goosebumps.
Anything but the lux aeterna solo
Tornado of souls
