How to unlock the Metal Militia achievement in Guitar Hero: Metallica - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires all members of the band to hit every note in a song.
* You can over-strum/double-hit and still get the achievement.
* The band must include all 4 instruments, so you will need at least 3 people to do it if you want to use the well-known fan trick for vocals.
* It can be done online - use the Gaming Sessions in TA to find others wanting to complete it.
* Difficulty does not mater, so play at whatever difficulty you are comfortable and sure to hit every note.
As for a choice of songs - I found 'Turn the Page' to be one of the easiest songs in the game for every instrument, but since you can go down all the way to 'beginner' if you really want, then song choice is irrelevant. Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" is one of the shortest songs if you want to do it quick.
One other tip:
Custom Songs you make in the GH Studio don't count for this achievement (or for The Four Horsemen). I created one where I played a few notes on each instrument. ie. a few guitar notes, a pause to let me switch guitars, a few bass notes, a few drum hits and finally some humming into the mic. I played it perfectly twice: No achievement. Don't waste your time trying this - just find or make a Gaming Session and it's yours.

for this achievement all you have to do is pick "stone cold crazy" by queen (because of how short it is) on beginner. have a mic siting on or by a fan (or similar sounding object). for lead and bass just strum continuously without holding frets. and for drums just use both hands to play any color you wish non stop until the end of the song. ive tried this and it worked quite well =)
this video doesn't actually achieve this achievement but shows how you what to do for the mic. (he does the drums differently and thats why he fails at this achievement)

Yea sure 1 person strumming 2 guitars and kicking wildly on 2 pedals for 3 minutes, you would need to train for weeks and do 5 cycles of roids... good luck to the peeps that make that work, plus I tried it and failed the song 2 of the 5 times.

Like the other solutions say, Stone Cold Crazy and Nothing Else Matters are the best choice for getting this, either on Beginner or Easy difficulty for all instruments.
If your drummer isn't a complete moron, Stone Cold Crazy should work fine since it's short. If he's having a hard time hitting 100% of the notes, go for Nothing Else Matters. ;)

The best songs to do that is:
Fuel
Toxicity
Stone cold Crazy
Just play on Beginner or Easy then you get this achievement

If you can't do this locally, I suggest just boosting with friends, as it's pretty hard to find people through matchmaking, as the GH servers now are pretty bare.
It doesn't matter what difficulty anyone's on (doesn't have to be Expert and also everyone can be different). So, just have everyone play beginner and that should at least make it a bit easier.
You'll be able to tell if you've missed it if the outline of the star on the star meter is no longer glowing.

An easy way of earning this trophy is if all members choose beginner as their difficulty and "Stone cold crazy" as the song. 100% means that you can't miss a single note. Through practice and patience and using the method given, this trophy will be yours.
