Best Songs on Metallica's Hardwired... to Self Destruct

Killer, killer, killer riffs! Damn isn't this the most hardcore, raging song from Hardwired To Self Destruct. I can feel my blood pumping fast each time I hear this song. Kirk and Robert Trujillo have done amazingly well and this song is easily Metallica's all time top 10. - SteveKing

Absolutely their best song on the record. No doubt this takes you back to their Kill Em All/Puppets days. Kirk does two solos on this song and that just absolutely blows my mind, and to top it off Hetfield's vocals on the song make me feel like I could fly.

Loved the song as soon as I heard the riffs at the beginning of the song.

Agree. Spit out the bone is definitely number one. Very energetic, good riffs and drums.

This song is a lot better than Hardwired in my opinion, but both are amazing. Yet I don't know why this list was created so soon, only 2 songs have been released. - Kytotoxic

This song is amazing. - Brobusky

The drum work by Lars Ulrich is just amazing

The Solo is amazing

The Last part of this song (which includes the epic solo), is one of the best things Metallica has made in a very very long time... - Kaustab

This song is even better than some of the classics. Should be number one on this list

This is the closest thing the album has to a ballad, and it's awesome.

An instant classic

Best Metallica song in years in my opinion

Outstanding... The chorus is killer and the harmony iron maidenish part is amazing

Reminds me of Sad But True and The Thing That Should not be

Can't go wrong with this song

Just an amazing tune

Best - Glauberson

It's their best song should be number 1

This song reminds me of My Apocalypse from Death Magnetic. - IronSabbathPriest

My apocalypse is better - awesomedp900

Mediocre. - sweetbeef

I've listened to this song a lot. The solos are badass and Lars has done a great job with the drums. I love the chorus! "Now that we're dead, my dear. We can be together. Now that we're dead, my dear. We can live forever" - Zizz

This is the best song on the album, followed by Spit Out The Bone

This needs to be number 1.

Best song on the album

This album has some amazing songs like moth, spit, hardwired, atlas and halo, however this is a real grower and should be higher than its current position.

How is this only 10? The riffs are some of the best on the album and the verse lyrics are so dark and sinister. This should at least be 6th!

Sounds like a song from Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction, except James Hetfield collaborated with the band and he ends up singing.

Sheer intensity and guitar-bas harmony. Just wow... Then here comes revenge... Revenge

I love all the rhythm changes and in some way to say the complexity of the song fulfilled with the guitar. Is a really great song so as well a great album.

The riff around 4:18 is the heaviest and most brutal Metallica riff I have heard in a long time.

I hope this goes higher up on the list because it really is one of the best in my opinion, I think they improved massively upon the original back in 2014 and James' vocals are the best on the album here - Derrick_Fox

11th place? WHAT?

A real 'classic'. It's on the deluxe edition. genius song!

This song is really underrated, best song on the album in my opinion. The main riff is just so beautiful, and the lyrics are amazing

The verse is so catchy. One crown, shines on through the sound one crown steady on. One man does not give a damn, one man no excuse. - FFDP

Somewhat like Megadeth's Captive Honour but without the court of the king (not crimson king).

Rip Lemmy. On a sidenote, if you like lemmy, watch the white limo video (just kidding)

A tribute to the black metal band Mayhem or should I say, a tribute of disappointment. The lyrics "Blind leads Blind" will tell you enough. Faith in ManUNkind is way to describe Mayhem's deep belief in their opposite way of looking at life. - SytachiRed

This song is way underrated. As for people saying it's a black metal tribute, what are you saying? Why because the video? Great song

I can't stop listening to it

Awesome cover

Amazing medley! The part where they start to play Kill The King is worth the deluxe edition by itself!

Not a actual song on the album, but this cover is starts slow but gets heavier near the end. That's why I like this song cover. - Mumbizz01
