The fifth track on Metallica’s 1983 debut album Kill ‘Em All. Composed by then-bassist Cliff Burton, “(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth” is the first official instrumental that Metallica has ever made. It consists primarily of a bass solo by Burton that goes through many twists and turns, until the second half where the drums of Lars Ulrich come in to back the rest of the bass solo.

It is considered one of the best bass solos in metal and solidifies Cliff Burton as a talented musician that was taken long before he was due.
