Phantom Lord by Metallica. Hands down.
He hits 16ths at 175 at a certain part in the song.
And when the guitars play:
G|-----------------------------------------
D|--------------5---------------------7---
A|--5-7--5-7----7--5-7--5-7-5-7----7
E|------------------------------------------
Cliff does:
G|------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------
A|---------10--------------12/14--------
E|--0-12------12--0-12----------12/10
Kills me every time  |

Kills me every time | Most of Bach's cello suites are more challenging than that. |
