Best song on Metallica - Ride the Lightning

[The Ozzman]

Creeping Death is awesome, when the whole crowd chants die in the live shows I get the chills.

I did that when I saw them live and it was awesome

 

[Satanstoenail]

For Whom The Bell Tolls.

 

[Never78]

Fade to Black is my favorite, but if I had to pick a best, I would say The Call of Ktulu for different reasons. The whole first side of that album is sick though.

 

[Stormwatch]

Ktulu. It's a fucking masterpiece, despite the poor spelling from them. Listen to that song, really listen to it, and like me, be totally blown away at the sheer genius these guys once had at their fingertips.
How the FUCK did they fall so far as releasing St Anger? I don't understand it.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Fade to Black... first song i learned how to play also

 

[Rumpole]

Creeping Death.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Creeping Death... loved Kirks's solo in it... no doubt Metallica's greatest album... the sheer power throughout the album is obvious...

 

[blood_drunk]

Way underrated album...

maybe better than Master Of Puppets IMO

 

[Belligerent]

Call of Ktulu for sure.

 

[Disciple of Bodom]

Fight Fire With Fire is my favorite.

To me, that song sounds oddly similar to alot of songs from Slayer's Reign In Blood.

 

[Vimana]

I like The Call of Ktulu. The only song I heard on it besides the title track which I didn't like much.

 

[waif]

Get that album.
Why do you have Metallica in your sig if you don't have one of their most classic albums, an essential for every metalhead to own?

 

[The Ozzman]

Being a Metallica fan and not owning at least the first four albums = fail

 

[waif]

Most def

 

[hibernal_dream]

25 years later everyone is still wondering why they spelled it "Ktulu"

 

[Life Sucks]

Fade to Black is my personal favorite. I can't believe someone actually chose Escape. That song sounds like filler to me.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Escape has a pretty cool chorus, but everything else on the song sounds like they're not even trying. There are barely any chord changes, and the vocals are retardedly flat.

 

[The Ozzman]

Escape is badass. The opening riff sounds like something off a King Diamond album.

Lovecraft references aren't cool unless they require some knowledge to catch.

One of their more melodic songs. I thought the siren at the end was cool too.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Definitely Escape.
