Darkness, imprisoning me!

All that I see, absolute horror!

If you don't know what these lyrics refer to, they are to the Metallica epic, "One." As any Guitar Hero fan should know by now, it is playable in the soon-to-be-released Guitar Hero 3 in the final set. Yesterday, MrCHUP0N told me that there was a youTube of the game's version of the song in action. I refused to see it, as this is one of my most favorite songs EVAR. I wanted to experience the mania that is the end of the song for the first time, first hand. I then hearkened back to my earlier days as a guitar neophyte, studying the ways of the Cobain and the Hammett, remembering that I used to play this entire song (along with the entire album "...And Justice For All" in one sitting) pretty well. It was a long 10 years ago, and I could still remember the notes on the guitar. I said to Sir Chuparito, "I will play the thrash solo to show the (Gamespot) world how it looks on a real guitar!"

And alas on this day, the 26th of October, I awakened to shower, brush up and record the thrash solo to Metallica's "One." I didn't have much time to spend on it, so it's not perfect. But...

Enjoy!

If you would like to hear how good (i.e. crappy) I sound directly compared to Master Hammett, you may find a stereo version of the solo here. Yes, I am on the left.
