Fade to Black - Metallica
May 7th 2008 05:48
This is one of Metallica's most famous songs - and most attempted by budding guitarists.
Even if you are not a Metallica fan - I admit they are up and down with me - this is an awesome track - and if you can play this you are well on your way to becoming a good guitar player.
Every metal band has their slower, more melodic songs that bring out the candles and prove they can play the slower stuff - This is a flagship song, listen to it, it is brilliant.

"Metallica performs Fade to Black Live"
Lyrics
Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost, this cant be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now hes gone
No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye
Even if you are not a Metallica fan - I admit they are up and down with me - this is an awesome track - and if you can play this you are well on your way to becoming a good guitar player.
Every metal band has their slower, more melodic songs that bring out the candles and prove they can play the slower stuff - This is a flagship song, listen to it, it is brilliant.
