That solo is perfect. The eastern sounding lick (right before he hits the open string dive bomb and does the pull-off lick again) is so eerie, which really serves a song about an HP Lovecraft story. Anyone know what he's doing there theory-wise? I hear a harmonic minor-like pattern but it sounds like he throws in an outside note and I don't know what scale it is in context with the rhythm underneath.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

I agree a lot with the man with Sandman been more iconic, i think of the Black Album Sandman and Unforgiven are easily the top picks cause both solos are very dinamic and powerful in their different styles, the underdogs been The God that failed and the Struggle whitin wich share does same concepts, while Sad And Roam are amazing but much easier, though Roam is Phrygian wankery at it´s best, NEM is Het´s, Tread and Wolf are more disonant yet very aggresive, Holier, Never and Misery are good both indeed less complicated.

James and kirk both underrated guitarists...Lars an underrated drummer...cliff we know was a genius.

[@samtheman123]

Lars is not a great drummer, Kirk is ok, but yeah James is very underrated he’s really an all time great rhythm player for me. And yes Cliff was a genius.

[@creymon6567]

Never forget Robs Bass. He's legendary. And Lars isn't the best drummer in the world. He isn't even the best drummer from Metallica.

Never played a Hetfield model. Owned an LTD KH602 for a while and gotta say, it was AMAZING! The neck was smooth as silk the locking nut was perfect, the floyd rose was one of the easiest I ever "tinkered" with, and the sound was a dream. That fretboard was beautiful (could see reflections in it). I always wanted a Hetfield though. The ESP EX series was cool imo. I'm an Explorer guy so...

Thanks for giving Hero of the Day some love. One of my favs. (Even the S&M version)

[@ErinBlueBird]

My favourite Kirk moment was when they hand a guitar to Robert so he can show him to play phrigyan instead of pentatonica 😂
