What Is Metallica's Greatest Song? | Rockers React

[@TranceSFX]

Disposable Heroes. Monster rhythm, incredible solo. Everything about it is flawless.

[@tylerarnettay4144]

Disposable heroes is their most underrated song. It is an absolute masterpiece

[@Morbutt]

It was OK. Felt like a song that was way too long; long for the sake of being long. They could have trimmed a minute or two from it.

[@chrisrodsa210]

Yup

[@aaronbanga3212]

@@Morbutt yeah I think a lot of Metallica songs in that era were about "we can play better than anyone and so we're going to play 10 min songs just to rub that in your faces", but the songs were still masterpieces.

[@JimVincent]

Back in '87, Disposable Heroes was the first song I'd heard of theirs and it made me say, "who the fuck are these guys and how much more is there?!?" It's still my favorite song.

[@gregoryvigneault1824]

Here's an underrated masterpiece: Trapped Under Ice is my favourite Metallica shredder. I love the intro solo where Kirk sort of spools up the tempo and then absolutely let's it rip into some of the saddest and fastest riffing in their arsenal. Also some of James' fastest and most aggressive singing. The whole song is full of explosive energy that sticks true to the first album, it's not mid tempo chuggy pounding like most of the stuff thereafter.

[@christophercollins9333]

My thought exactly! (Ever hear of...DH)

[@max051472]

Because Metallica are such a commercial success, they pretty much blew the doors wide open to the world of metal and introduced it too so many.

[@orlock20]

Too bad the metal acts didn't follow like the '80s metal followed the '70s metal. Now I feel like an outsider when it comes to new metal. Guitarists either noodle or chug, singers do that growl mumble unless it's symphonic metal and then they just shreek, drummers often have triggers and bass players are irrelevant unless the band has no guitarists.

[@orlock20]

@Phil Kirk I don't believe only the absolute underground is following the Iron Maiden style of metal. Even Metallica seems beyond the ability of many of these metal bands.

I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Ride The Lightning because that record was my first exposure to Metallica. The weird part is that happened in ‘93; I was 10. The Black Album had already been out for two years, but I hadn’t discovered heavy music yet. At the time, I was listening to Aerosmith, Green Day, and the Offspring. I thought that was heavy. Then a kid in my fourth grade class brought Ride The Lightning into our weekly music class, and he played For Whom the Bell Tolls. It blew me away. I had no idea music could sound like that. It was over from there. I immediately went and bought Ride the Lightning, The Black Album, and …And Justice For All. I discovered Master of Puppets AFTER The Black Album though, so that’s awkward lol.

Orion.

Sad But True is in my top five. My seventy-year-old mother loves that song. "It brings tears to my eyes..." she says.

[@alm5966]

It's the track I used to put on the 6th Form Common room stereo. Everybody looking at me, like, what's this classical guitar shit and then bang. I just sat back and smiled.

[@glens911]

My first Metallica song. Sitting on the school bus with my cassette Walkman with a tape my friend said you gotta listen. Music changed at that point.

[@owl509]

My favorite is 'One', but then there's Fade to Black, Ride the Lightning, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Fight Fire With Fire, Disposable Heroes, Phantom Lord, Seek and Destroy, Orion, Call of Kthulu, Harvester of Sorrow, Master of Puppets, Battery, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, The Things That Should Not Be, King Nothing, Until it Sleeps, Sad But True, Hit the Lights, For Whom The Bell Tolls and so many other great songs not too far behind

[@victorachim3951]

Yeah, the RTL solo is absolutely awesome . . .

[@UchihaZoSo]

Personally, I have to say Orion. The reason I think so highly of Orion in particular is because it's so different from the rest of Metallica's catalog. It's still heavy but the melodies are technical and beautiful, it's easily the best bass performance we get from a Metallica song, and Lars's drumming is just the cherry on top. No lyrics even required, just a breathtaking instrumental and a testament to the musical prowess of Cliff Burton. I truly think it was their masterpiece song from their masterpiece album.

[@LuisInkjet]

Disposable Heroes, Blackened, The Thing That Should Not Be, Orion, And Justice For All, Fight Fire

[@Dwendele]

Dude, add Damage Inc and Harvester of Sorrow to that, and you got my list!

Escape is a banger though. When they played it by request you could see Jaymz instinctually nodding his head like 'O shit, maybe I was wrong about this one.'

@@MsCristyful Ktutlu takes Hangar 18 .. and if you are thinking about those riffs that sound similar. that line is pretty basic really. Can be found in many songs prior those two. For example Kashmir.

@@Atlas65 listen here that exact note structure was taken and recreated by Dave in both bands but you obviously know which solo is better right the amount of virtuosity in Marty Friedman's notes are way more advanced and orgasmic compared to the bluesy little ktulu licks yes both are good but lets get real which song is better musically obviously theres more music in 18

[@isaacmorrow7077]

I mean as a new fan, I really like a lot of music they made from the black album, ride the lightning and even hardwired to self destruct. But any song off of master of puppets could destroy any other song in existence, especially the title track. It's so raw and fierce and unique, it's not just an album, it's an experience.

[@matthewseebach7291]

The Thing That Should Not Be is killer, especially the live in Seattle in ‘89 version! James almost seems like he is possessed during that performance!

[@alexg4751]

Especially in the last refrain when he sings "Face the thing that should not be". Seattle '89 was probably their best ever concert ngl
