Reviews for Ride the Lightning Lyrics

well I agree but even though I like death magnetic and all the albums after ...And Justice for All, James Hetfield changed his singing style and it sounds terrible in my opinion but I still enjoy the music

i dont get how these people can call themselvs fans when they keep mouning about how much metallica has changed, you need to exept that they have been going for over 25 years and have had three different bassests, there music's going to change, i think the people who are always saying how there music recently has been crap and yet still call themselfs fans, should stop insulting the true fans and admit that because they like a few of the albums means that they like the music but are not true fans, the true fans are the people like me, who see that the changes are good for the band (it alows them to continue in an industry fild with the likes of people like lady gaga) and enjoy the diversity of the albums, by the way, they invented thrash metal, lars ulrich is the true father thrash, it was his idea to fuse british heavy meatal and punk rock (heavy metal riffs, punk rock speed)

I was looking at the St. Anger lyrics on this site, and you wouldn't believe all those bitches complaining about Metallica's music changes. Like this one fag, he constantly complained about the sound of metallica's music changing, from Kill 'Em All to Master of puppets, Puppets to Ride The Lightning, all that crap. Metallica is the best band in history, they were in the 80's, they are now, and they will be, FOREVER!!!

Your boy, Ian.
P.S. Lil'Wayne sucks!

QFT!!

Why do you think Iron Maiden Have also lasted this long??

Cause they change there style each time they release an album!

I.e "Dance Of Death" And "A Matter Of Life And Death" Sound totally Different - thats how I like it, when bands try something new each time.

I think St. Anger was Metallicas Re-incarnation of Thrash, but it didnt wash as well by the fans as it want put together well In my opinion - The only tracks I like of that album were - St. Anger, Frantic and Sweet Amber.

On Topic:

This was one of there MANY Best songs of all time, still a favorite on the radio stations as well!

i not only like this song but all of there songs on the album and all of the rest of there albums. even tho load and reload arnt heavy they are still awsome because if one band releases the same kind of mucic forever then what is the difference between albums you have to try something new or you will fade away most of the bands from the eighties either came up with new ways to make albums or faded away with the decade mteallica changed it up a bit and look at them now they are one of the biggest bands in the whole world. I say if you want to try something new then try it metallica may have lost some fans because of that move but they also ganed a worldwide audience. And also if you stopped being a metallica fan because they tried something new then you really werent a metallica fan to begin with.

This a really great song. Metallica was best in the 80s I believe. They don't do what they used to years ago, and James isn't really as fun anymore. but lots of people say ...And Justice For All was the last great one. I think it's the Black Album. Load was nothing compared to all the past ones they did. It sounded more like country to me. and I always wonder what they could have done with Dave Mustaine.

I personally love this song.....but i don't often listen to the full song. I only listen to the solo. The solo is a masterpiece.
I wonder why it wasn't included in the 100 greatest guitar solos list.
Never mind my personal fav album is the black album. I can listen to all of them for the whole day and yet wont tire. I dont care about the lyrics if the music is awesome.

this song has a meaning to it but it isnt as meaningful as master of puppets or one because they are about real life issues like durgs and real time war. and to say the truth im sick of rap i live in harlem and all i hear is lil wayne and i hate him!!! ugh i know im the only rocker here without a doubt.lol and to the people that say metallica getting old it doesnt mean that they still aint rocking cuz death magnetic was another kick ass album and they are all over 50 (i think)lol

If we talk bout thrash metal then metallica is the only name which satisfies the suit.I live in india and ders a limited access to metal music.still it cant get brutal n better wen u r a metallica head!!!

really cool song and big solo!
old Metallica was really really awesome, master of puppets rulz and past albums, with no exception of And.. justice for all (even it doesn't have bass) and i think death magnetic is greatly heavy and a little thrashy, comparing with the 90's and 2000's albums, which suck a little(coz metallica is always cool)

ah well, ride the lightning, awesome album, im fully into metallica but i prefer all the older stuff, everything before the black album was superb, not to say that load etc. wasn't good, it wasn't as good as say kill em all and ride the lightning, the music was raw as fuck and the tempo was perfect which was why they deserve the top prize of the best metal/rock band of all time!

Metallica is a sick band, personally one of my favorties. This song is bad-ass as is. But I agree with the one guy...Master of Puppets is prolly their greatest album. But mind you, I have them all, and like them all. I think master of puppets is their best album, but some of my favortie songs arn't even on that album.

well of course they're slightly older than the other artists out there, but in my opinion, they're better than most of the stuff they put out i mean i admit i like DragonForce, and i'll also admit that i like some rap like Insane Clown Posse, but still metallica has proven themselves over the years many times over, besides they're still doing well for lasting since 1981. My favorite album would have to be master of puppets, its the best one ive listened to and i have their entire collection, but i like other songs by them

I think that metallica is the best band ever and all those guys who like rap are crackheads and retards who can listen to that crap, metallica has meaning in every song. They will really get your mind thinking about the true meaning of their music. Keep rocking metallica. Metallica forever!!!!!

This is an awesome song, one of the best song ever. Even if Metallica is older now, Death Magnetic is a very good album and i think metallica is the best band ever. Their are still doing good songs, but they can't be like before because of their age.

In my opinion I think the album Ride the Lightning was the best in all.
