Ride the Lightning is such a Badass song
I know a lot of people already know this, but Ride the Lightning is such a badass song. I noticed it sometimes gets overlooked by some other songs in the album, but to be fair it's a brilliant album. I was just listening to the live version from the Through the Never concert (James' Mic kinda breaks at 1:44 🙂 by the way), and I was just reminded of what an amazing song it is. One of (arguably) the best Metallica intros and solos in the same song. The entire part from (I'm talking about the album track now, not the live versions) 1:57-5:00 is just godly, especially that one part at 3:55. This is also one of the first Metallica songs I ever knew, it was just mind-blowing when I first heard it, and it still is mind-blowing. Not to mention that it has probably my favourite Metallica intro, the double harmonic guitars accompanied by the bass, followed by a steady chugging riff, makes an absolute legendary beginning of a song.
