[NAD]

what drugs are you on

At least I know how to cut & paste correctly.

Regardless of my avatar, if Brave Murder Day wins I'll be okay with it. It's a great album. But Ride the Lightning should take home the crown because

Can't hear my call
I am dying to live
CRY OUT!!!
I'm trapped under ice

[JayKeeley]

Yes, since everyone will jump on the "Bandwagon of Erik" TM, the least I can do is make it just a little more difficult by convoluting the spelling...muwahahaha....such 3v1l trickery!!...

Yeah, and a Ride the Lightning win would practically be a Megadeth win anyway what with all the Mustaine shit

Part-time thrasher alert!! Did J steal your UM password?

Why else would it be so good?

I haven't engaged in a 20 minute jam of Call of Ktulu in some years, if Ride the Lightning wins I'll call up my thrasher friends and do so in Triumphant Celebration!!! Otherwise I'll call them anyhow and engage in Authentic Metallica Mourning with a.... 30 MINUTE VERSION!!!

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I demand that you record it!

 

[NAD]

I recently read that Mustaine's involvement on Ride the Lightning was minimal but that's probably some Lars-inspired bullshit, surfacing 20 years later or something.

I demand that you record it!

It shall be done.

Last time (which was the only time), my shredder friend and I were just jamming on random shit, and he started playing Ktulu so I joined in, and the reason it went on for about 15 or 20 minutes is because neither of us knew when to end it!

 

[Crimson Velvet]

He wrote quite a few of the riffs on the title track and "Call of Ktulu", I believe. That's the official answer, of course.
