"(Anesthesia)—Pulling Teeth" is an instrumental song by American thrash metal band Metallica. It is the fifth track on their debut studio album, Kill 'Em All, released on July 25, 1983 through the independent label Megaforce Records. The song is an instrumental electric bass solo written and performed by Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, with additional percussion performed by Lars Ulrich. A staple of Burton's live performances since his high school days in the band Agents of Misfortune, the instrumental track featured Burton's distinctive "lead-bass" style of playing, incorporating heavy distortion, use of wah-wah pedal and tapping.
"(Anesthesia)—Pulling Teeth" is the first instrumental song recorded by Metallica, the first Metallica song credited to Cliff Burton, as well as the only song on their debut album which Burton received writing credit. It is also one of the two original tracks in which Lars Ulrich does not receive a writing credit (the other being "Motorbreath") and the only original track which does not feature a writing credit from James Hetfield.
