For me the best songs are One, Master of Puppets, Battery and Fade to Black

Creeping Death and Battery!

the topic says Best Metallica song. only one! so I will choose Fade to Black.

Hit The Lights

This is very hard for me, but i think i'll go with Battery.
A other answer could be all songs in Master of Puppets, all songs in Ride The Lightning except The Call of Ktulu, Trapped under ice and Escape, Sad But True, One, Seek & Destroy and Metal Militia.

For whom the bell tolls and creeping death.

//The Four Horsemen//

For whom the bell tolls.

Jump in the Fire off Kill Em All is my all time favorite metallica song. One and Fade to Black tie for second.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

best metallica songs for me are:die,die die my darling,whiskey in the jar and invisible kid

Ride the lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then Creeping death!

Please people, explain your choices, other way it will be taken as a spam and can cause problems for you, thanks!

Fade to Black

Agreed. That song has everything...

Fade To Black, everything in this song is amazing, lyrics, melodies, riffs, the epic final solo, the song fading slowly at the end like if will continue forever.

"No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye"

I think the Four Horsemen also deserves a place in my top Metallica songs.

Trapped Under Ice is my favorite:banger2:

"Blackened" to me is the most intense, awesome song in their repetoire. The riff is so wicked. The bridge is crushing, and the time change riff immediately after "see your mother dieeee" is unstoppable.
"Master of Puppets" and "Creeping Death" also feature signature Metallica riffs and solos. Also, those songs have awesome middle sections, which is make-or-break in thrash.

On a side note, "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is the best band practice warmup song ever written!

I believe 2 of those are covers actually.
Whisky In A Jar is a Thin Lizzy song from what I remember, and Die, Die My Darling is a Misfits song.

WHIPLASH!

Is the thrash metal anthem

seek and destroy!

My favourite metallica song is battery

One, Fade to Black & Sanitarium for the emotional trip they take you on. Master of Puppets, Blackened, Battery & Creeping Death for the sheer energy and vitality of the songs. They all make me want to shout along when they play. The Call of Ktulu, For Whom The Bell Tolls & Orion for just losing myself in the music.

It's one of those. If I had to choose between them I'd probably pick Fade To Black ... probably.

Some of the newer stuff is good. I generally like the Black album & a song here and there from Load/Re-Load. I don't really like Kill 'Em all too much, and I pretend St. Anger didn't happen.

I am curious as to how the new one will sound though.

The Unforgiven ...Not ONLY best metallica's song, BUT also best song ever!!!!
i admire the lyrics because i feel it, see it, breath it EVERYMOMENT.
i think it describes most people lives (at least of those around me) and they don't even know that...they are born in this F**king Society with it's F**king social values and they obey them all, NEVER think for themselves and grow up to be just like their parents with the same values and restrictions:
"New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules"

BUT among them, there are some ppl who try to be themselves NOT just a copy of the stereotypical character designed by the government and Islam, they don't respect the values pushed on to them:
"Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away"

and therefor, he is left isolated by others, all they want is to bring him back to the HERD and his life it is a PERMANENT fight that he has no chance of winning:
"They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me"

BUT at least he did this:
"Step out of the crowd_DIO:Stand up and shout"
and in a society where "with microwave transmissions they bombard us everyday_Bad Relligion" it's not a small achievement...

Sorry if it's not totally related to the topic,but atleast more than half of it IS!!!!
ppl in this Society really DRIVE ME INSANE...i can't believe (part of) THE PERSIAN EMPIRE has changed to this F**king Islamic country
