What is your favorite instrumental song by Metallica? Man oh man, this is a tough call but I'm going to go with the version of "The Call of Ktulu" from the S&M album.

A short spoken bit at the very end of a 10-minute track? I think we can let that one slide.

minor technicality!
i actually saw the title of the thread first and thought to live.....then, i thought, "oh, guess that isn't instrumental!" i can live with calling it an instrumental, killer track!

hahaha, I agree!
I went with The Call of Ktulu becuz the whole Ride the Lightning album is my all time favorite Metallica album. 
Although, in terms of studio recordings, Orion takes the cake for me . This live performance of Ktulu swayed me to choose it before Orion

Most certainly Orion. Cliff's playing gives me the chills. It's one song I practice every single time I play bass.
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) should be on that list as well! It's an instrumental
