I could go on but i dont feel like typing an essay. For the original question, Ride the Lightning is the best Metallica. Electrocution, it doesnt sound so bad when you phrase it that way. Listened a few times but not sure it has the hooks that Ride the Lightning does. Classic record Used to have it on cassette too. The title of "ride the lightning" to me, comes from his need to make his execution feel badass. As a fan of Metallica, I couldnt pass up getting this CD again (and yes, i still listen to CDs sometimes). 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. Intro Lightning, lightning (Woo) Lightning, lightning (Woo) Ive been dancing in the rain since You called out my name You came like lightning and saved my soul Verse 1 I havent always lived in freedom I used.

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.
