And Justice, and I will contest that "Dyers Eve" is possibly the greatest Metallica song ever recorded and it was the last song that I would really consider Metallica a thrash band. The fell to Hard Rock w/ Black and then to Alt Rock w/ Load/Reload/St. Anger. This is a fantastic album though, no doubt, but I'd give the bass a 10 and the guitars an 8, and the 8 is only because James is such a fantastic rhythm man, Kirk will always be a very watered down Dave Mustaine and is one of the only guitarists I can think of that got worse later in his career. The riffs are brutal on these albums, but the leads leave a little to be desired. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Disposable Heroes is my favourite track followed by Damage Inc and Orion. I'd give the album 8.5/10 and Ride The Lightning 9/10. I don't give anything 10/10 however. Great album by a once great band.

This album is what made me want to play guitar, the solos in "Master of Puppets" blew my young mind away when I first heard them. I was also very inspired by "To Live is to Die", "Call of Cthulu" and "One" from their other releases in that golden era. I remember how Hammett and Hetfield used to always be the idols that I aspired to be as a young guitarist. And I thought that I'd never come close to their skill level. However, as I improved (and as Metallica did effectively the opposite) I also started to listen to more advanced and heavier guitar players (first with bands such as Carcass, and then the Swedish invasion of Opeth and Arch Enemy among others) and set my sights progressively higher until I became the frustrated intermediate-ish player that I am today Great album though... I never much cared for Disposable Heroes of Damage Inc tho for some reason. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It's got it's parts, but the verse riff just doesn't make sense, it's almost as if it doesn't belong (IMHO). But the intro, chorus, and clean riffs are totally kick ass. The rest of the songs are much better, but still I agree that 'Kill 'Em All' was the best album to date for them. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
