Top Ten Best Metallica Intros

The best and no1 can replicate it and even Metallica can't do it what cliff has done - amitcornelius1

The intro is long and intimidating! This should be #1 without a doubt!

Its cliff how can't it be 1st

What Cliif is playing bass on the inro. Riffs are power and kirk's playing good. The best...

Awesome collaboration between hetfield and hammett. the intro solo by hammett is specially memorable

The best! It is amazing, I get lost when I listen to it. It so well written and beautiful and amazing, just astonishing. Wonderful music.

One of the best of Metallica, and the best intro... - doodad

Well this is the best along with master of puppets

Greatest Metallica song ever

Love the acoustic intro that transforms into an awesome metal riff, LOVE PLAYIN! METALLICA RULES

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

the intro is perfect and so is the entire song

Ride the lightning has the best intro, you'd be crazy not to think so. - Crash

Not my favorite but voted it just because I think it should be higher this and fade to black and master of puppets and battery are my 4 favorites

Such a classic thrash metal intro, the high pitched guitars are the lightning and the pounding tom drums are the thunder, perfect! The harmonies are such a great touch and the bass crunches through! Incredibly clever, then the headbanging chugging riff begins!

Straight. Up. Amazing.

I play that song on guitar.
For me it's the best song in the World, just listen to the whole song every day, you will understand me..

This 30s acoustic intro symbolizes the entire thrash genre! If I were to make a film on thrash this intro would be the first thing played! As soon as I hear this it instantly reminds me of the greatness that was to follow... - Cmf97351

the acoustic part is the best part of the entire song and sets up the whole song to make one there greatest songs ever

Deserves to be #2 after For Whom the Bell Tolls. - Vinitsky

The acoustic Intro is epic.

I want to say about this song just nothing else matter.. I also play this intro in my guitar & this is the 1st intro which my teacher taught me..

One of the best intro by Metallica... Hammet you rock

Its defenetly better than the Unforgiven 1,2, and 3

I think about this intro all the time

Cool! I love the drum intro to this song. It sounds so awesome. It sounds like a war is about to start in the intro which is pretty cool! Should be higher.

It is really cool, the snar,... Like on a parade. Really cool. - patschyie

Best metallic a intro should be on the top ten. Battery is second

Best intro

Best intro,
gets you in that metal mood

Best intro, keeps you motivated and prepares you for the rest of the song

Battery is number 2

This intro riff is from the Wizard of Oz but Metallica's twist on it makes this intro amazing and it totally pumps me up.

Love the ancient souning music at the start. - dragon13304
