Hint: his solo on FTB (most all his solos for that matter) are note for note from the album versions. What’s so great about one version or another? He played the same god damn progression the same, but better in 89’ vs. 85’ or vice versa? Please.

And after he died, they felt lost and didn't know what direction to go with their music and life in general because they couldn't rely on his "bullshit-o-meter" anymore. :D That was a perfect description.

      Meh, any guitar player who's played live with their band on stage before, myself included, knows you're not gonna hit every note every time you do your solos, especially playing faster than the album speed like Metallica does. All in all, these were great solos by Kirk for live performances, and he pretty much nailed them. Missing a note is excusable.

      @somekindofmonster7 It happened. Although, actually Kirk played the right key but James' accoustic guitar was tuned half step higher. Since James played intro before Kirk's solo kicked in, people heard it off key. James kicked the accoustic guitar and continued to play the intro with clean tone guitar, which was tuned half step down just like Kirk's and Robert's.
