Metallica - Hardwired... To Self-Destruct: Ranking Every Song From Worst To Best
10. Murder One
Another intro that walks a fine line between homage and self-plagiarism, Murder One's opening is incredibly similar to Fade to Black and fans are likely to be divided on that.
There was a lot of hype surrounding this song as it was composed as a tribute to the late Lemmy, so it's a shame the lyrics are so cheesy and uninspired, with some pretty lazy references to both the metal legend and Motorhead ("Aces wild / Aces high / All the aces / Aces 'til you die").
It's a lot easier to like if removed from the weight of the Lemmy context and merely enjoyed as a groovy riff-fest.
