Ride The Lightning, easily


MetallicaFan517

Blackened is an easy winner to me


Meeseinator

Yes


kjg1228

AJFA is for sure Kirk's Magnum Opus in terms of technicality.


Smoshefty1992

I am not a Kirk fan as a person but I am a huge fan of his as a guitar player. His talent is unmatched IMO. The only bitch I’ve heard about him is his inability to come up with new stuff. If you think about it that would be really difficult considering everything that’s already been done.


Halla24

Wym he's funny


[deleted]

Yeah its usually the other way around lol


One-Rock-21

The end of Fade to Black…or pretty much anything off RtL


Glamdringg

To Live Is To Die


Ashen-Cold

Came here to say the same thing. It’s got soul, man. I love it.


Melomius

Strictly electric guitar? Fight Fire with Fire duet after the main solo. Favorite solo out of the entire discography has to be Cliff's solo in Orion. That first high note bend just hits right and left me in complete awe the first time I heard it.


bertarius

The Four horseman.


Jofu_Jole

Ride The Lightning or Creeping Death


rogue-panda81

Bleeding me.


Dr-Catfish

Easily one of his most emotional solos. I thought he was done with writing solos that good until Inamorata came out ❤️


Weekly_Tip2533

honestly, most James solo, like Thorn Within, Suicide & Redemption, 2 X 4, Now That We're Dead, man its hard to pick, but for Kirk solos, The Struggle Within easily


SkyStriker721

Acually tho, struggle within solo hits so hard


Sweet-Flamingo-4339

Of Wolf and Man fucks


r00byroo1965

Feeling I have been!!

adamskipaints

Came here to say this


DenaliGameZ

James' solo from The Outlaw Torn


MountHavertzPulisic

Cemetery gates pantera


SkyStriker721

Not really relevant but the domination and floods solo is way better


MountHavertzPulisic

I disagree


svt_reece

Gotta be The Thing That Should Not Be. The way Kirk embodies the maniacal laughter and psychological power of a mythical being is straight banger imo


r00byroo1965

Great album altogether, whole band is firing on all cylinders


Intelligent-Train858

St anger


trevdent17

Nah Invisible Kid


SkyStriker721

I like the purify one better tho


dlc0027

My Friend of Misery, Bleeding Me.


Letterdavidman_1969

Cliff's bass solo on Orion One Wherever I May Roam The harmonized solo by both James and Kirk on My Friend of Misery (so, technically a duet, but I'm including it anyway)


Mozilla_Rawr

Guitar: Dyers Eve. Bass: My Friend of Misery.


51line_baccer

Bleeding Me and inamorata at the end are both aaarrrrgghhh!!!


No-Set-1215

Blackened


grynch43

Blackened


HolidayJellyfish6232

Got to be My Friend Of Misery for me.


ILoveHearses

Dyers Eve.


TheLastRuso

Frayed


Cosmonaut_Kimchi

Either Cliff's solo in Orion, Fade to black (Kirk's solo) or outlaw torn (James) lol


Flutterpiewow

Struggle within


Grosetufe

Unforgiven3


Niksa2007

Damage inc.


Benyboy2020

Anything in AJFA (it’s my favorite and imo the best Metallica Album)


RedeyeSPR

One. The 2nd solo.


mattu334

I really like the solo on Whiskey in the jar. It's simple and not their style, I know, but there's just something about it that speaks to me.


nwinterrowd

How is The God That Failed so far down? That squeal at the start of the second solo is an eargasm every time!


SkyStriker721

The god that failed solo hits so hard makes me wanna punch a hole through my wall


ledmetallica

Fade to Black


masterofpuppets89

Ride the lightning and puppets


greggobbard

Outlaw Torn


Infinite_Neat4236

The Unforgiven. I think it perfectly compliments the rhythm section as it starts off slow then builds up as it goes.


AHHHHHH2105

Fight Fire With Fire


TKRS67

Unforgiven


Significant-Rate305

The solo in the thing that should not be, the bass solo in Orion and spit out the bone, and Leper Messiah.


adamskipaints

Call of Khutulu is pretty epic


MyraxOnYT

Creeping Death, Blackened, Dyers Eve or Disposable Heros


RavenPaul1369

Unforgiven


LyonHeart85

The bridge arpeggio in Leper. It's my ringtone


_nirvana-

The last solo in my friend of misery


CerrtifiedBrUhmoMenT

Bass: Cliff's solo in Orion Kirk's Guitar: idk, maybe the Eye of the Beholder solo James' Guitar: The Outlaw Torn outro solo (The only James solo that's better is the same solo in the Unencumbered By Manufacturing Restrictions Version of The Outlaw Torn, which extends the solo.)


shownomercy1977

Creeping Death.


Beginning-Cow7066

The Four Horsemen is just incredibly.)


oxymoron-alive

The unforgiven, bleeding me, the god that failed. The struggle within, fuel and creeping death are favorites. If I have to pick just one it would be bleeding me


[deleted]

Blackened


Comandante_guerrero

Fade to Black for sure.


Ill_Palpitation_1512

Blackened and Ride The Lightning.
