These aren't necessarily the best Metallica songs but are definitely the top 10 most epic.
The Top Ten
1 One

you listen to this song a 100 times and still you will like it. it is really an epic. no wonder it is voted as the 5th best song of all time on this site by the people. long-live MetallicA and heavy metal.

BEST SONG EVER TO EVEN COME IN MIND OF PERSON. wHENEVER I HEAR IT ON MY LAPTOP, HOME THEATER OR WHATEVER IT STARTS VIBRATING MADLY. IT DESERVES 1 SPOT IN EVERY SINGLE ROCK SONG LIST.

EPIC SONG! That's all I can say about it, but this dumb thing makes me type more. It is an absolutely amazing song, with very good melody and vocals and meaning. Awesome song!

The Solo is just simply INCREDIBLE!
The ENTIRE SONG is just awesome!
METALLICA 4 EVER! F Rap and Pop

2 Master of Puppets

This song has it all. Its heavy, its catchy(the lyrics and the riffs), a great middle melodic part, and most of all its epic! Its not the most epic song but its probally Metallica's best song
Most Epic part(6:10-to the end)actually pretty much everything.

How could it be no.2 I should be 1 it has such rock in the start and peaceful in middle and rock again

great solo, outstanding lyrics, so catchy, amazingly epic. overall must be number 1

this song is the best metal song... it describes what metal is in 8 minutes..

3 Orion

Most epic song Metallica wrote in my opinion... Cliffs bass is a real standout in this masterpiece

Cliffs bass is awesome in this. You need to listen this!

Best instrumental ever period.

4 Fade to Black

Not my favorite Metallica song, but the last few minutes of it are probably their most "epic". The guitar harmony that backs up the solo is absolutely brilliant and one of the most underrated riffs of all time.

Metallica's older songs are much better than what they brought out after their Master of Puppets album, with songs like: Fade to Black, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, Seek & Destroy and many others

This Is The Best Metallica Song Ever In My Eyes, Love This Song, Love The Opening, Love The Closing, Love The drumming and Riffs, Good Job On Creating This Master Piece Metallica Thank You!

even though 'one' shares the theme of fading to death, this song has more lyrics describing death.. and this song was written when james was younger

5 Mercyful Fate
6 The Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen was Metallica's first work of art, given Mustaine created it. If I had to pick the 'face' track of every album, The Four Horsemen would be the epic of Kill 'Em All, just as Master of Puppets is to it's album.

This is definitely a fantastic song! It's one of my favorites on Kill 'em all:);) and I agree this song is EPIC!

This song is Epic
the lyrics and all of it

Cliff did an amazing job on this.

7 The Outlaw Torn

Very Long song but Epic.
Most Epic Part(6:55-7:35)

8 Ride the Lightning

this is the most epic song ever. more epic than any of iron maidens songs or slayers or acdc or especially megadeth. metallica is definitely more epic, talented, and overall better than any band of today.

Ride the Lightning Solo= THE MOST EPIC SOUNDS OF MUSIC IN HISTORY

Fade to black shouldn't be on this list. Its not the most epic, but the most DEEPEST AND EMOTIONAL song in history, no doubt

Right from the start, the grabs you by the throat and never lets go, and of course, its epic.
Most Epic Part(3:35-4:25)

the intro, the solo is epic right from the start and live is even more awesome

9 Suicide & Redemption
10 For Whom the Bell Tolls

Seriously epic, shredding on the guitars, powerful yet simple drums, screaming vocals. The bell in the beginning is a nice addition.

One does not simply think One is better than For Whom The Bell Tolls. Best song ever!

The best opening for any song ever
Most Epic part(The whole damn song)

It can't get more epic! btw One and Enter Sandman are very overrated

The Contenders
11 ... and Justice for All

AND... The Justice For Music

12 To Live is to Die

The most epic Metallica song!

9 minutes long, so many different things in the song, so incredibly melodic and also heavy at the same time, and also a fitting tribute for Cliff Burton...

13 All Nightmare Long

Heard this on guitar hero first. Intro: not too bad, sounds cool I guess. Riff starts: I drop the controller in shock.

Very Epic song from death Magnetic, it is frickin awesome

This is the greatest 'Tellica Song Ever. I mean it.

This is how you define epic.

14 Battery

0:38... This very moment on the track when the entire band explodes into insanity and metal. This moment is like a drug. It's so epic. It's one of those moments where you have to listen to it again and again and again.

Battery amazingly builds up intensity, and then follows it with even more intense, explosive, outrageous arrangement. It's Blackened's brazen twin.

The best opening for any song ever
Most Epic part(The beginning to 1:20)

15 Creeping Death

how is this not even on the list? awesome song

16 Enter Sandman
17 Astronomy
18 The Unforgiven III

Epic piano intro, Holy solo!!!! Violins in the background... can it get any more epic!

This Song should not be on the top ten! What!

19 Nothing Else Matters

When I feel bad, sad or depressed, I listen this song and my problems disappears

The slow song of Metallica

20 The Day that Never Comes
21 The Call of Ktulu

THE BEST METLLICA SOLO IS IN THIS SONg also parts of this songs were written by Dave from Megadeth

The best instrumental ever.
Most Epic Part(5:25-6:15)

22 The Unforgiven
23 Bleeding Me

This song has a cool part at the...
Most Epic Part(The near silence beginning at 7:15-7-:35. A simalar style song to "The Outlaw Torn".

24 Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Metallica's finest hour put into form, a true Magnum Opus that for me was a more iconic track than the much-loved Matser Of Puppets. Rhythm guitar work is simply incredible.

James at his best both on vocals n guitar, epic harmonic start followed by great guitar riffs... Legendary song..

Listen to the lyrics, damn the are deep

25 Wherever I May Roam

The sitar is a cool opening. The way the song starts off slow and then builds and builds to the chorus is just epic, and the vocals are epic too.

This should be up there in top 5 at least... Epic intro and great lyrics. One of the best creations of Metallica.
