METALLICA'S TOP 40 SOLOS PART 1

Hey guys! I bring you my ultimate tribute to the legends of metal: METALLICA.
This list was the hardest one to make thus far and it's BY FAR the most controversial, which is why I'm sure that it won't please everybody...although all of the Metallica solos here represented and some more are pretty freakin' awesome, and I love them all !! I really like this list, and all of my lists for that matter, because they have a "knack" for being really different from all other lists, maybe because of my "strange" musical taste, I don't know :D Oh well, you all know that this is MY opinion , but that doesn't mean I don't want to know yours, because I do, so post your favourite solos of the greatest band ever right here, and this way we can share our opinions.
One more thing: no more Kirk vs Dave comments! They are over it and so should you. I don't care if Dave wrote the solos, because these solos that everyone loves are played by Kirk (and James).
So, I hope you enjoy these videos, filled with mindblowing solos of the greatest band of all time!

Some Notes:
Honorable Mentions:
- No Leaf Clover
- The Thing That Should Not Be
- Metal Militia
- Blitzkrieg

- Some solos from Garage Inc. "could" have made the list, but I chose not to include them, since they are from a cover album. Yes, Am I Evil is a cover too, but it's from their 1st studio album: Kill 'Em All, so I made an exception :D
Load and Reload simply didn't have what it takes to make the list, and St. Anger also didn't make it, for obvious reasons xD

- In my opinion Battery and Fight Fire With Fire are a bit overrated, but still cool solos, so no hate comments about that plz !

- Don't be fooled by Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 's spot, it's a great solo, but I was just a bit tired of it at the moment, maybe in the future it will rise in the list.

- Some of you must be thinking: "He chooses Holier Than Thou over No Leaf Clover !? WTF is he thinking !? :D " Well guys, let's just say it is MY opinion. Personally I think No Leaf Clover is one of Metallica's most overrated songs( even though I like it) and the solo is no different, since it's not that great, and might I add, there would even be some solos that aren't on the list that I would put over NLC.

METALLICA 4 LIFE !!!!

@Niamorg1007 Thx a lot man! I totally respect your opinion dude :D I just didn't give much thought to Reload's solos, since none really clicked for me.

Nice list! There is ONE very cool solo in Reload though: Devil's Dance. It kicks major ass. But that's just my opinion.
