"(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" is a composition of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton and is featured on Metallica's 1983 debut album Kill 'Em All. Besides bass, the song contains a voice intro of "Bass solo, take one" and the addition of Lars Ulrich on drums at 2:28.
The song is a bass solo that showcases Burton's skills and techniques as well as his influences: Geddy Lee from Rush, Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead, and jazz bassist Stanley Clarke. Heavy distortion (Electro-Harmonix Big Muff), tapping, and a wah-wah pedal are used by Burton to produce many of the unique sounds that can be heard throughout the song.
It is the only original Metallica song in which James Hetfield does not have a writing credit and one of two in which Lars Ulrich doesn't (the other is Motorbreath).
