On a side note, what’s even more surprising is the sales ranking of this week’s vinyl albums. Master of Puppets, which has long been touted as one of the greatest metal albums of all time, has seemingly been outsold by every other Metallica classic, including their 1983 debut Kill ‘Em All.

The ten greatest Metallica songs from the decade from which they exploded: the Eighties Metallica (Image credit: Mike Cameron \/ Getty Images) In the 1980s, Metallica formed, invented thrash metal, transcended it and became the biggest cult band in the world, lost their legendary bass player Cliff Burton in an on-tour road accident and battled. And considering The Black Album is by far the highest selling Metallica album, it’s nice to see the one of their heavier classics take the throne for number 1.5 product ratings - METALLICA - THE VIDEOS DVD GREATEST HITS / BEST OF JAMES HETFIELD NEW. The album Metallica registers the 2 biggest hits of the band with both Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman netting well over 400,000 EAS.

For Whom The Bell Tolls (Remastered) Metallica.The tenth most played Metallica song is a true fan favourite. Fade To Black (Remastered) Metallica. Carpe Diem Baby Metallica. The Unforgiven II Metallica.
The song made it’s live debut on the 27th March 1986 and is still played today, especially during Metallica’s recent By Request tour- where fans could pick the set list. In fact, the song is based around the famous novel 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’, which centres around similar themes. 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)’ is one of many Metallica songs on the topic of insanity, referring to a mental patient who has been unjustly imprisoned. This album came at a sad time for the band (which I’ll explain later), but through all the heartache, Metallica grew stronger, only building on the successes of this album.
Off Metallica’s second album 'Ride The Lightning’, 'Fade To Black’ is a song about a man coming to grips with his inevitable suicide, when his life shall 'Fade to black’. Here it is at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert later on in 1992, a beautiful song- 8- Fade To Black (Ride The Lightning- Track 4)Another challenger to the crown of best power ballad, 'Fade To Black’ is also the oldest song on the list so far. The song debuted on 2nd March 1992, and has been played 1054 times since it’s conception. In doing so, he brought the joy of 'Nothing Else Matters’ to the world, and gave Metallica a huge hit. The song was only meant to be kept between Hetfield and his girlfriend, but drummer Lars Ulrich overheard him playing it one day and demanded it be on the album.
Metallica Biggest Hits Full Ability As
The song was the last single to be released from 'Metallica’, rounding off the album and the great success it brought. And great tune, and well worthy of the 1079 plays it’s received live, check it out here- The second song from The Black Album to feature on this list, 'Sad But True’ has been thrashed out 1154 times by the band live. However, Fade To Black offers a contrast to the heavy thrash that Metallica are famous for, showing off their full ability as musicians and songwriters. Not for the faint-hearted.
Check it out- The third and final song on the list to come from the eponymous fifth album, 'Enter Sandman’ is an eternal classic. Great guitars, brilliant lyrics and pauses (I love a good pause in a song me), 'Sad But True’ is one of my favourites, and apparently it’s everyone else’s too, hence it being on this list. The song’s structure has been used by many other artists, including Kid Rock in 'American Badass’, and was included on the 1999 live album ’S&M’. The song also features then-bassist Jason Newstead using a five-string bass, giving the song an air of the unique.
An impressive repertoire for a song that’s been featured in almost every single Metallica live show since it’s release- 1159 shows to be precise. Kerrang! readers also voted the song the fourth best single of all time. In fact, the riff was voted the fifth best ever by readers of Total Guitar magazine. The riff was composed by Kirk Hammett, and not only makes up the basis for this song but has also become one of the best and most recognisable guitar riffs of all time.
The song is known for it’s long introduction which features clever bass work from Cliff Burton, disguising his bass sound as that of a guitar. The 'tellica song was released a full 45 years later, but still makes specific references to the novel- for example, the lyric 'Make his fight on the hill in the early day’ is a reference to a chapter in the book in which five soldiers are ruthlessly slaughtered on top of a hill. 'For Whom The Bell Tolls’ was published in 1940 and was about the dishonour of modern warfare in reference to the Spanish Civil War raging at the time.
The song is seven and a half minutes minutes, making it one of the longest tracks on this list. Don’t say you weren’t warned…Perhaps one of Metallica’s best known and most iconic songs and the first and only song from Metallica’s fourth album ’…and Justice For All’ to feature on this list. And here it is now.WARNING- this video features bad language, awful hair and Lars Ulrich shirtless. Strange really that a song that started out with one band ended up becoming such a big hit for another, being played 1302 live for Metallica.
Metallica Biggest Hits Movie Adaptation Of
This song was the first of Metallica’s to have a music video, although it was just clips of the band playing mixed in with scenes from the 1971 movie adaptation of 'Johnny Got His Gun’ (directed by the author by the way). He’s also devoid of all speech and feeling and is trapped inside his own body with only one wish- to escape through death. The book tells the tale of a soldier who becomes a quadruple amputee after being hit by an artillery. Take that 'For Whom The Bell Tolls’. That means that this song was released 49 years after the book.
James Hetfield would often joke that it was about hunting on the 'Kill 'Em All’ tour, which isn’t really funny when you think that Papa Het’s love for hunting almost got the group banned from Glastonbury this year. The song is based on those of Metallica’s early icons Diamond Head and is about wanting to kill but not being able to. And no, it’s not based on a book. The only song from their debut album to appear on this list, 'Seek And Destroy’ came out in 1983. Played 1322 times live, this is 'One’- 3- Seek and Destroy (Kill 'Em All- Track 9)Bronze medal in the Metallica Olympics (events including Kirk-Hammer throw and Track and Hetfield) is also the oldest competitor.
The book of Exodus in The Bible describes The Plague Of The Death Of The Firstborn, which was one of many plagues bestowed by God upon the Egyptians as punishment for enslaving the Israelites. 'Creeping Death’ is based on a film, however, if you go back far enough, it too is technically based on a book, one of the oldest around. I won’t embarrass Kirk by playing the album version, so enjoy this version with former bassist Jason Newstead on vocals instead- 2- Creeping Death (Ride The Lightning- Track 7)The track that just missed out on the top spot is the third and final entry from 'Ride The Lightning’. It was his first time guys, cut him some slack. This is due to a mistake from Kirk Hammett, one for which he has apologised many times. If you listen to the song between 3:47 and 3:48, you’ll hear a strange chance in pitch.
