The problem is stem directions. Bass notes are considered a separate "voice" and are written with stems down. The score should also show bass notes' full sustained duration.

You mean as in this arpeggio example?
You're correct that the above example wouldn't "look right" with stem up.
Does the bass E note in the first measure then need to appear as a dotted half-note in the Metallica piece? It's then no longer a single 1/8th note.

I scored out the first two bars more "properly" in Finale -- but I can't figure out how to upload it or get it to display here. Help me out -

You should be able to post it as a normal pic or link to it. (If you want you can send it to me and I'll post it for you. Just pm me.)
