Working off the foundations of Kill Em All, the band gave even more space to their incredible bassist Cliff Burton.
The Four Horsemen were back just one year later in July 1984 with Ride The Lightning. Try listening to the song with that scene in mind, it almost makes it humorous.Īnyways, love metallica, im out. Metallica could be so much more, and the Californians wanted to prove it. I could go on but i dont feel like typing an essay. Electrocution, it doesnt sound so bad when you phrase it that way. The title of "ride the lightning" to me, comes from his need to make his execution feel badass. How did Metallica follow up their Megaforce Records debut Simple, with another classic album in the Metallica pantheon. And as his last day of sorts he wants to be as troublesome as possible. "This cant be happening to meee" "flash before my eyes" Hes sitting there in his cell with the guards outside, trying to get a rise out of them, anything. The way james's voice inflection in this song sounds to me.
I imagine a man on death row sentenced to the electric chair, and on his day of death, hes trying to create a scene. Lmao, i cant believe this site is still around.Īmongst other obvious interpretations on here, being framed, etc i have an alternate scenario that comes to mind whenever i hear this song. Zeus on a skateboard, thats fucking great.
