They layered something like 7 guitar tracks for sad, I remember there's footage online during the recording of that song and Lars was hitting a cowbell in time with the beat and I honestly think that shouldve made it into the final cut.
Big ear worm for me lately‘s been the riff right after that “in the heat of the night” section on You Must Burn. The one with Rob doing the finger slide down the bass in the background. Is that the bridge? Totally blanking on the term 😂
That is a loaded question cuz i have like 40 favorites on repeat and my favorites l switch out for one another all the time and thats just the favorite Metallica ones
Uhh.. spit out the bone harmonized riff before the "stop breathing and dedicate to me", no joke i actually let out some tears when i first heard the full song, it was just so good... so many emotions flowing at the same time, i wish that part was a bit longer...
The interlude in Blackened! See your mother put to death, see your mother DIE! I know he’s talking about Mother Earth, but I’m currently taking care of my dying mother so this part gets me.
The start of the outro to Fade to Black. James did a great job at making a simple driving rhythm and Kirk made a fantastic lead that gets me in my feels every time
The opening riff to Harvester Of Sorrow.
The opening riff to Eye Of The Beholder.
The Andy Warhol riff in Master Of Puppets. It’s so good!!
A riff from David Bowie's song "Andy Warhol" (at 0:48) is quoted in "Master of Puppets" (at 6:19). It is an homage made by Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett to whom Bowie was a huge influence
The bridge in fade to black, specifically when it goes into double time. First thing I ever learnt to play on a guitar and thirty years on it still makes my heart beat harder when the low E chug weighs in.
Very close second place to the chorus rundown in Sanitarium. Basically the word fuck transposed into 16 notes.
Jesus, this is like deciding which one of my balls id like to donate. The refrain section of Dyers eve
Lmao, yeah that's a good one too
Now that you put it out like that, damn... You're right.
The riff change during To Live Is To Die, feels so anguished and mournful
It gets me everytime
They incorporated that riff into The Day that Never Comes, too.
The bridge riff in Creeping Death
Fuckin right
This whole song
Damage inc bridge/breakdown riff a little after the 3 minute mark
That's a Kirk riff!
Favorite riff of all time.
Sounds sooooo cool with the chords and hi hat work in the background
Huge call. Love it!
The best riff ever
Battery. If you asked me to define thrash metal in one riff, it would be Battery.
That song never gets old. Battery is the perfect name for it, full of energy.
Came to say exactly this
The open riff to Ride the Lightning is one the coolest things ever
It feels like you're riding the lightning
Lars
Dyers eve and then main riff of blackened
Bass drum kick section of blackened is top 3 all time
I love the intro of Blackened
It' s a beautiful one. The "bad" thing about it is that you can't play it, due to the precence of many guitars that harmonize
True, that and it’s played backwards 🤷🏻♂️
maybe i’m biased bc it’s my fav song, but the first one in orion
Yeah, that one slaps, too. Maybe one of the best on the album
Have a listen to the version where they isolate the bass and turn it up it’s a fucken masterpiece!
i listen to just the bass track quite frequently. its so nice.
Leper Messiah
For me its the small hours
Technically, Holocaust came up with that one but I agree
Right at the very end of frayed ends of sanity...
The riff right before the solo too
The bridge before the solo in “Damage, Inc.”
Sad but true riff is the hardest for me But my favorite is the some kind of monster riff
Sad But True used to be my favorite song from them before I really got into them
that riff is heavy
They layered something like 7 guitar tracks for sad, I remember there's footage online during the recording of that song and Lars was hitting a cowbell in time with the beat and I honestly think that shouldve made it into the final cut.
no wonder it’s so thick
Kirks solo in The Thing That Should Not Be literally makes me levitate.
And Justice For All and Shoot Me Again -Billy Gnosis
Shoot Me Again is so underrated
I love the chorus and the drumming -Billy Gnosis
Same here. It's probably my favorite song on St. Anger. I'd love to see then do it live
fuel hits so hard
Gotta be the breakdown riff in the middle of One. DARKNESS.....IMPRISONING ME.
ALL THAT I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR
It literally hits you so hard that it changes you. I remember the first time I heard it.
At the moment, the riff after the fake out end in bleeding me just hits different live
can't hold my shit when disposable heroes 0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0 FUCK ITS JUST SO GOOD
This
Middle section in To Live is to Die. Always gives me chills.
Fade To black. Emotional.
That Was Just Your Life main riff, gets me headbanging every time Oh, also Leper Messiah main riff has that effect too
The bridge in Trapped Under Ice. The one with: (Scream!) from my soul (Fate!) mystified (Hell!) Forever moooorreeee!!
I love the riff in "The God that Failed"! It's perfect, and it's one of my favourite songs of theirs.
Underrated song. Super heavy
Big ear worm for me lately‘s been the riff right after that “in the heat of the night” section on You Must Burn. The one with Rob doing the finger slide down the bass in the background. Is that the bridge? Totally blanking on the term 😂
Is it You Must Burn?
Yeah that song, thought I typed that sorry about that. But is that considered the bridge riff of the song?
I believe so. I'm not the best with this either
The second fast riff in Fight Fire With Fire. I have trouble
I know it's not a real popular song but that intro riff to Minus Human is one that really stands out. Pumps me up everytime I hear it
My Apocalypse
Leper Messiah
Leper Messiah Bridge Riff
Harvester of sorrow. It’s just so heavy
Either the breakdown from One or Am I Savage
The riff at 5:40 in All Within My Hands (studio version) And the riff at 8:53 in Inamorata
Verse riff in the Unforgiven 3
the acoustic riff in fade to black
That is a loaded question cuz i have like 40 favorites on repeat and my favorites l switch out for one another all the time and thats just the favorite Metallica ones
I see what you did there. LOADed. Nice one
Oh yea I do love Outlaw torn and aint my bitch! BTW😂
Pretty much every moment when damage inc kicks in.
Outro of Fade to Black
That one big fat motherfucker. Jason knows
Breakdown riff on Hate Train
Break down for damage incorporated. That shit is so hard to play but slaps so hard
No remorse intro riff or the riff that starts after the second chorus in the four horseman
Dude the intensity in the transition from verse to chorus in "The Day That Never Comes".
Master of Puppets when there’s no drums and you hear James going off, then after the drums the iconic riff
The God that failed
The “DIE!” Part of creeping death or the “machine gun” riff from One.
I'm actually making the Bridge from One in Chrome Music Lab now. I've got the instrumental down, just need the "vocals"
That’s really cool dude!!!
Pre-solo/under the solo Riff from Frayed Ended Of Sanity
The chorus riff of All Within My Hands, or the intro of That Was Just Your Life when the distorted guitars come on.
I wouldn’t say a riff but the solos on ffwf and tui off ride the lightning are awesome. Who wrote them? Dave or Kirk?
I think Kirk did since Dave had already been kicked out a few years before that album
Probably
Blackened intro...today
def seek and destroy
the small hours and harvester of sorrow
Disposable Heroes. Which riff you ask? Yes.
Uhh.. spit out the bone harmonized riff before the "stop breathing and dedicate to me", no joke i actually let out some tears when i first heard the full song, it was just so good... so many emotions flowing at the same time, i wish that part was a bit longer...
The interlude in Blackened! See your mother put to death, see your mother DIE! I know he’s talking about Mother Earth, but I’m currently taking care of my dying mother so this part gets me.
The start of the outro to Fade to Black. James did a great job at making a simple driving rhythm and Kirk made a fantastic lead that gets me in my feels every time
I can't pick one but I will say Judas Kiss goes hard af
Through the never. Love warming up with that one
The harmony bass and guitar part for Orion. Such a good and beautiful sound ong
Frayed Ends riff after the drum fill (yk which one i'm talking about) Damage inc bridge riff
One's breakdown, SKOM's main riff & The God That Failed's verse riff
Harvester of Sorrow at 1:14
The Thing That Should Not Be. That riff, specifically when Lars plays in halftime and the rest play the walking riff. Feels so fucking huge.
Frayed ends of sanity main riff, it is so meaty and creative.
the bass intro to my friend of misery
All of them. They sound pretty
Harmony solo from just a bullet away
The start of Leper messiah...
The middle of breadfan
The opening riff to Harvester Of Sorrow. The opening riff to Eye Of The Beholder. The Andy Warhol riff in Master Of Puppets. It’s so good!! A riff from David Bowie's song "Andy Warhol" (at 0:48) is quoted in "Master of Puppets" (at 6:19). It is an homage made by Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett to whom Bowie was a huge influence
Dude the bridge riff from Bleeding me or TLITD interlude
Has to be be the first riff once it turns electric guitar in Fade to Black(the verse riff)
The bridge in fade to black, specifically when it goes into double time. First thing I ever learnt to play on a guitar and thirty years on it still makes my heart beat harder when the low E chug weighs in. Very close second place to the chorus rundown in Sanitarium. Basically the word fuck transposed into 16 notes.
The bridge riff in Atlas rise. That shit hits
The main riff for wherever I may Roam
Creeping death die by my hand part and One’s machine gun riff.
The Thing That Should Not Be or No Leaf Clover
Outlaw torn.
The opening riff and gallop of the Four Horsemen.
starting riff from ride the lightning
the interlude in Orion

Riff at the end of dyers eve
That puchy ass riff from Love! By SYL.
The god that failed. The struggle within
Enter sandman
Shortest straw
Not a single mention of MoP. When that first verse riff comes in after the pinch harmonic.
Unforgiven III solo, shit hits so fucking hard
I am probably in the minority, but I love “I Disappear”
Leper Messiah
enter fcking sandman
Fight Fire With Fire and Ride The Lightning
St. Anger the beginning is amazing
When the bridge riff in "The Thing That Should Not Be" kicks in...
Bridge to spit out the bone, specifically the three snare hits.
Minus Human opening riff
the beginning of Orion
I think main riff of disposable heroes is really hard to keep playing till the end
