    This is a guitar solo cover of "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" by Megadeth, played in Rocksmith 2014. I don't think Dave ever topped this solo, in terms of raw energy and shred factor. This is the peak thrash metal solo.

      You know it's a joke when you see the Jokers face. That lead comprisis basic panatonic structure. Easy shit with a lack of any real depth or substance, like most of their music generally speaking.

      @@hiroku5550...Ironically, I do play guitar which is how I know the riff is lame. The composition structure of Hammett and Hetfield's materials is much more sound fundamentally speaking as compared to Mustaine's work, which seems to be more random and sporadic in nature. And as soon as that Weasley voice of his enters the equation, sorry but I can't take too much of the sound of a rat running in a caged atmosphere. To each his own, but I'm out.

      Cliff didn’t make Metallica nor did he make them more complex. Those responsible for writing the vast majority of their music, which is most likely Hetfield, made Metallica and the complexities associated therewith.
      Masterful music composure isn't all about the complexity of it's structure. It's much more involved than just that, and so much so that we can't even comprehend exactly what goes into it in order to produce and/or reproduce it. The bottom line is that the masses ultimately determine whether the work is masterful or not by the number of albums sold.
      According to Universal Music Japan, METALLICA sold over 120,000,000 albums worldwide, including 64,018,000 in the United States and 2,600,000 in the United Kingdom. The best-selling album by METALLICA is METALLICA, which sold over 33,000,000 copies.
      According to Universal Music Japan, MEGADETH sold over 38,000,000 albums worldwide, including 6,500,000 in the United States and 440,000 in the United Kingdom. The best-selling album by MEGADETH is COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, which sold over 2,465,000 copies .
      At 156,706,000 EAS, Metallica is the best selling metal act of all-time.
      At 156,706,000 EAS, Metallica is the second best selling US band of all-time.
      Metallica is one of only 4 acts with 6 consecutive 10 million sellers (EAS).
      At 45,433,000 EAS, Metallica is the 3rd most successful album from 1991.
      At 19,070,000 EAS, …And Justice For All is the 4th most successful album from 1988.
      At 17,350,000 EAS, Master Of Puppets is the 6th most successful album from 1986.
      At 16,900,000 US Soundscan sales, Metallica is the highest selling album over this panel in this country since 1991.
      At 27 years and 6 months, Metallica has the longest span ever of consecutive US #1 studio albums.
      Master Of Puppets was the 2nd fastest album from the 80s to hit 10 million stream with all its tracks. …And Justice For All and Ride The Lightning will soon become the 4th and 5th, respectively.
      Metallica is one of the only 3 albums from the 90s with 2 tracks over 300 million streams in Spotify.
      There is no question who the masterful composer is.
      None whatsoever.

    This is the hardest solo in that song. It's the only one I can't figure out perfectly. Marty's solos are hard and take a while to learn, but they're usually a bit more clear to hear and they make a bit more sense, music theory-wise. I feel like Dave Mustaine doesn't get enough credit as a lead guitarist. Because he's really really fast. Like super fast. And he makes the blues scale his b*tch.
