About "Guitar Solo (Live At Grugahalle, Essen, West Germany / January 25th, 1987)" by Metallica
Kirk Hammett's guitar solo in Essen, 1987, is a whirlwind of wah and adrenaline. The notes cascade like a waterfall of sparks, each phrase a dare. It's the sound of a band at its peak, tight yet unhinged, a flash of lightning in a bottle.
