Guitarist Explains Metallica’s Most Confusing Guitar Solo Section
“It almost sounds like White Zombie, ‘Thunder Kiss.'”
Mike from The Art of Guitar has recently posted an interesting video in which he “decoded” what he branded the “most confusing solo section” in a Metallica song.The track in question is “Fight Fire With Fire” from the band’s second album, 1984’s “Ride the Lightning.”
The musician commented (transcribed by UG):
“I think I finally figured out the solo section of Metallica’s “Fight Fire With Fire” – not the solo actually, the rhythm played behind it, which seems to be very, very confusing for everybody, including myself.”
![Hammett: “I don't even remember playing any of these solos [on 72 seasons] to begin with. : r/Metallica](https://external-preview.redd.it/hammett-i-dont-even-remember-playing-any-of-these-solos-on-v0-ZOnr7niPLL6wBHM403ybBwT0u0_gwMir6_VvtOuqD7E.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=bb474bf47349d92e482d001c8d62e000169fb92b)
