ellyssianWithout question, Fade to Black is my favorite Metallica tune, off of my favorite album, Ride the Lightning
(Amazon.com).
The melody over the opening acoustic guitar is - well, it's the sort of phrasing and expression I've always strived for in my playing. It translates exceedingly well to the bowed string instruments. I particularly like the theme that enters as a bridge of sorts (at 3:45 in the recording below), which, in the original is further developed into a part vaguely reminiscent of a specific portion of Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever.
Here is Apocalyptica's performance of Fade to Black, from the album Inquisition Symphony
