Metallica - Ride The Lightning (Fillmore 2003)

[005E500]

Iorn cross!!!

[BALLZ2ME]

What is that supposed to be on the album cover!!!

[wintigo]

I LOVE THAT FUCKIN' INTRO

[JChenler]

heh, i remember my mom took me to one of the Fillmore shows when i was 11, can't tell if it was this show i was at or not because i was in the far back left corner of the audience.

[BerkoGames]

Snare ?

[lockheed22]

Id ride that

[ScreamCharacterGuy]

Rob IZ pottymouth

[MetalHeadJoel1994]

By the way, Dave Mustaine only wrote one riff in this song, the spider riff as he likes the call it. Kirk wrote the solo.

[MetalHeadJoel1994]

I'm sick of the fights between Megadeth and Metallica fans, most but not all are doing it because Metallica kicked Dave out. Big fuckin' woop, Metallica and Megadeth are friends now, made obvious by the Big 4 DVD, watch 'em all play Am I Evil? You'll see James and Dave hug and smile, like come on guys, fucking get over it.

[mmamostwanted]

MMA Most Wanted - Metallica - Great Song! I remember the internet bubble when our start up company had a privarte party in the Fillmore and we could run around the place and check it out!

[KingOfParrots]

crowd was like: WAT IS DIS? WHEREZ MY ENTER SANDMAN

[TheZepKid7861]

@KingOfParrots Quite the contrary you see this show was in SF metallica's true home so if anything they embraced them played RTL more than anything. Fag.

[KingOfParrots]

@TheZepKid7861 Why are they standing around doing nothing then? Or the real crowd maybe were standing behind the camera, yeah, that must explain it. Fag.

[TheZepKid7861]

@KingOfParrots Yeah that does explain it lol

[XxDisciplexX2414]

LMFAOOOOOOOO, Tomorrow you're only getting Re-Load.

[MrRafataff]

All the good bits in this song were written by mustaine. So pretty much all of it apart from that shite slow section under the solo in the middle

[crunkalac]

@MrRafataff thank you this is a mustaine song you can clearly tell, kirk and that fucking wah!

[MetalHeadJoel1994]

@crunkalac: Bitch, bitch bitch, bitch bitch... Done yet?

[mseals29]

@MrRafataff uhhhh, Mustaine came up with ONE riff in this song. (Rhy. Fig. 5) There are 8 Rhy. Fig's in this song, a solo (which Kirk wrote) and I think a fill or two. If you were suck a big fan of Dave then you would know all of this. So sick of these Dave nutt riders trolling Metallica videos thinking they know what they are talking about.

[Thorshammer172]

that's one of metallicas songs where the riffs is just so cool that even i don't care about james voice (that's his name, right?)

[Blackdragon52k]

Rob is the man

[carpseby]

dave mustaine..

[IkkeGates1991]

uhu, ride the lightning,good!

[TuxedoGER]

i need 38 bullets.

[kirk684]

why did kirk make mistakes in the solo part?? D:

[BadassAnons]

Ride the rainbow, it's safer XD

[ri394]

@BadassAnons in hello kitty island adventure, you get to ride a rainbow. i'd rather die riding the lightening.

[ronniemor12]

Nope @ ricky this is 03' I just looked at my fillmore T .. and i think this may have been the may 21st can anyone confirm ?

[elmassari2]

Some people on here are just assholes!!!! This is the best band ever...

[Gnosisguy786]

Low Budget Concert!

[ArchEnemyNemesis1]

lame ass crowd......

[Gnosisguy786]

@ArchEnemyNemesis1

Lols! 

[drainmudvayne27]

35 people need the electric chair?

[SHPrada]

@drainmudvayne27 37

[firewolf2001]

someone forget their lyrics? 7:10

its ok. hes drunk. he has an excuse

[firewolf2001]

Love the epic guitarness and ambiance. hate the vocals. james...are you drunk again?

[metlife09]

En el min. 1:18 lars empieza a tocar "eye of the beholder" hubiera sido magico q la tocaran ese dia o cualquier otro

[assasinator1980]

Starting from the intro till the end of this song.....makes me wonder what the fuck kinda musicians dave mustaine and these guys are.... i mean jesus christ, i have nothing but respect and love for them!!!!!

[JokerScars69]

35 people aren't tall enough to Ride The Lightning

[Pattonfrodo]

@JokerScars69 ha ha love that comment !

[laaarsromero]

bad very bad playing metallica....

[gua543]

35 people love justin bieber :)

[wrestlejoc]

Whoa Whoa Whoa... wait... is Rob wearing caprees?

[redbluerecords]

yessss so good. metallica will always be a top ten for me

[miessnerchild3]

Was this before or after James went to rehab?

[sufferthejoy308]

@miessnerchild3 aftr...

[digitalph33rfan9]

@miessnerchild3 after. They didn't hire Rob until after he got back

[MegaDazza88]

best live version of this song in my opinion!

[JohnnyDevaney]

metallica have it all....thrash,heavy,melodic,ba­llad,slow fast and everything in between....those fuckers hav it down to a fine art!!!

[hallbergjonatan]

This is actully a kinda bad version of this song but there's still something 'bout it that makes this one of the best version of it

[Morbutt]

Funny how Metallica used to complain about having all these long songs, having sets that only consisted of about 6 or 7 songs, yet they take a song like Ride the Lightning and slow it down...

[bloodybastard25]

James, totally digging the 90's cop mustache.

[slash59729]

They played that song pretty fucking well!!

[soadratmetc]

METALLICA IN SLOWWWWWW MOTIONNNNNN

[reywuvmysterio619]

I thought lars played double bass

[MarkerReviews]

Shut the fuck up lars.

Goddamn.

[MetalliK41]

james looks old here.. actually he looks younger than this XDD

[koronr]

wtf that crowd sucks .. they r just standing round ... i would fucking !!!!! omg! metallica best of the best!

[tonho54t4N]

load reload st. anger sucks

[goodsanta01]

@tonho54t4N they all had a couple of good songs tho 

[jeandepaul]

@tonho54t4N so do you, now go away and stop wasting my time. Just out of interest...how many albums have you sold?

[ozzsabbath1]

@tonho54t4N u suck i bet u could make anything beeter then either album and i thought st.anger was a relly good album

[vio2112]

Was Lars just shitting on Reload at the beginning there? Interesting..

[WeHateThePatriots]

Man; I'm sorry... Kirk ruined the solo.

[vio2112]

@WeHateThePatriots Kirk pretty much always fucks up the solos these days. I'm not sure what has happened to him. He's barely even a shadow of the guitarist he was back in the 1980s.

[WeHateThePatriots]

@vio2112

RTL, Blackened, Harvester of sorrow, Fade to Black, and The Thing that Should not be are his only worthwile solos to be honest.. Everything else is complete pedal. Oh, yeah. And Disposable.

[vio2112]

@WeHateThePatriots I really like his lead work in Leper Messiah too. He was a good soloist many moons ago. James and Lars must listen to his butchering of solos now and think to themselves "Man, we should have never kicked Dave out of the band." : )

[jimmyshitbags]

@vio2112 i think he just doesn't care anymore. you can tell he just doesn't put the effort into writing them or playing them live anymore, they all sound pretty much the same too.

[mitchwheelz]

Lars needs to ditch the china and a ride cymbal.

[MVEFdude]

lot slower than the album

[drikititraki]

The public sucks

[MIGUELON527]

the solo sucks ._.

[thunderousmetal]

i think ride the lightening was metallicas best album, my favorite at least

[alonsotallica]

MetallicA its back

[Diabolic94ndspcmugen]

malisimo solo u.u"

[12LOTR]

HAHA tomorrow all your getting is reload..am i the only one here that would love to hear that!?

[retardtv]

@12LOTR I wouldn't like to hear it as much as I'd like to watch them play Reload and watch everyone get completely bummed

[eddgomezHaHa]

@12LOTR I'd probably like the Black Album better, but Fuel and The Memory Remains are high on my list too.

[xwxwxwmichael223]

Metallica RULES!!

[13mengeme]

that on 3.41 i the spyder chord  by dave mustaine

[guitarchamp616]

3:41 is probally one of my all time favorite riffs. It sounds so beast

[LostBowser]

fuckin' Heavy yeah

[juanarruti]

he brutalizez that solo

[Chewbe94]

@Ridethelightnin69 suck a cock...they have been around for 25 years i think they know what they are doing

[Babasaurusrex]

stole your video? thank you for inventing metallica live show videos lmao

[DeepSevenfold]

@Babasaurusrex epic win

[ChOOzExe]

@Babasaurusrex clever :P

[DoomSlayer47]

kirk hAS EXEEDED  the guy thAT Taught him....

[super7o]

you know joe satriani he is a prety good guitarist

[kianneedsalife]

maybe in fame hes exceeded him but not playing ability and writting ability satriani is up there with some of the best guitarists ever

[deathweaver123]

i dont headbang to metallica like i used to 20 years ago... :(

[bloodreep]

Seems a tad bit slow/

[OldSchoolRocker23]

y??? I think he is great not as good as the 1980's but still good

[MihirGupta92]

METALLICA FTW - THEY WERE ALWAYS THE BEST (Except for St. Anger)

[Tombstone34]

wtf DM brought they're thrash back!

[WeHateThePatriots]

@Tombstone34

You shitting me?

DM isn't even close to thrash. Hard rock.

[Tombstone34]

@WeHateThePatriots I am not talking about DM, i am talking about a fucking poster named DM

[Scarecrow545]

@WeHateThePatriots

Life, Line, Nightmare, and Apocalypse beg to differ, buddy =p

[WeHateThePatriots]

@Scarecrow545

So do bands that stick to real thrash.

[Scarecrow545]

@WeHateThePatriots

I don't see how the songs I listed arent. They're thrash, and Im fairly sure they're real.

[zodiacxkiller]

With that beard Lars somewhat reminds me of Jason....

[QuietGuy13]

So this is Lars, with a beard...

[pontxio]

Hmmm...So slow man...

[Ghul]

Ulrich doing like a 20 years badass rocker with spitting in the crowd and talking shit, but has a child with a taller girlfriend and issues. Fuck that idiot

[alexwhitely]

Is there any kind of shit there?! Fuck that shit!!! Ulrich is a fuckin' talker, so what! Do you give a shit anyway? Do you give a fuck who his girlfriend is?

[shalevtm02]

so slow!!!

[stanke666]

james was best metal vocal in 80's...now is notin special

[XIPH0S707]

THANK YOU SIR, agreed 100%

[guitarplayerk11]

their tones are awful, def not the way it used to sound

[StylleBR]

huhuuhuhuhu!

[veppana]

Great song!

[alejolaya]

EXCELLENT song... but... in this case... they should play it faster... and the voice... a shame...

[ChOOzExe]

the voice was pretty decent here...

[ozzsabbath1]

is this in dener

[o0rolyat0o]

yay i beat one on expert woot random huh this is a good song better in the 80s

[agentzer00]

shut the fuck up

[xxvolfdefxx]

james' more developed voice doesn't really fit the song. it sounded better when it was thrashier. not to say his voice isn't awesome. it's amazing on the newer songs. just not this so much. still love the song. first metallica song i ever listened too. metallica for life.

[l7lll]

DIMEBAG!!!!!!!!

[blukazu]

7:14 what was james saying??? LOL

[jamymcj]

he said "if its truth you'll understand"

i think anyway

[buoghuoj]

This is one of Hammet's best solos

[ThatsGlitchin]

As much as I love James' juvenile-sounding vocals on the original, they're pretty good on this too.

Also, wasn't expecting Rob to be that good live!

[shiatbreaks]

At 0:38 Lars looks like Bam Margera :D

[productionsPurpleWar]

ha ha he does

[harmonica46]

oh

the crowd is so boring

they don't feel the music

[Destructionthrusound]

"we're here for more...Hope you want it!"

lmao as funny as they are now i wish i was around for the kill em all thru ride the lightining days...

[huffalmighty]

hahahahahaha james looks like morgan spurlock

and he NEEDS TO DO HIS 1980S VOICE

I'm sick of this rednecky shit he does nowadays

[TheConspiracyFact]

He blew out his voice, can't sing like that forever.

[fleshymax]

5:34 what a mad crowd they're almost killing eachother

[5585deathmage]

lmao we made it ^.^

[Heydosaurus]

Who else reckons that James could replicate his 80's voice if he tried? =P

[Daemongrad]

I reckon... lol... listen to the tempo, I find it harder myself to sing on key when I am playing a song downtempo.... Also it is missing delay and reverb... his vox used to sound heavy on those!!! The best tools in the trade!!!

[MetallicaBryant]

Metallica's best song!!!

Ride the Fucking Lightning!!!

[ChrisOwnes]

and mustaine wrote it... strange huh

[MetallicaBryant]

Yeah really strange!! xD

Mustaine is the riff master!!!

And i thank him for creating Megadeth,together with Metallica one of the greatest metal bands!!

[ChrisOwnes]

mustaine is God.! :)

[breadheaded]

he wishes

[ChrisOwnes]

you have no idea, idiot... you know the song includes a spider chord? i mean we dont need even more facts that mustaine wrote it...

fuckin metallica fanboy who doesnt know anything..

i tell you something, after Justice, Metallica SUCKED !

[breadheaded]

okay thats used in a few parts of the song not the solo which is nothing like mustaines previous work and sounds exactly like the work of hammett at the time. also explain to me why metallica has been the first band to top the billboard five times in a row now... megadeath has not

[ChrisOwnes]

billboard has fuckin nothing to do with this shit.

ok the solo might be overmade new but the song itself is pure mustaine, FUCKIN DIG THAT!

the first four albums of metallica were huge the rest is shit. also the whole kill 'em all was almost just written by mustaine. listen to other songs from megaDETH! and you will see.. metallica wishes to have such a songwritting talent as mustaine!

[breadheaded]

how does billboard have nothing to do with it? obviously there is a majority of people agreeing with me to the point where theyre buying more metallica than megadeth. mustaine was too busy getting drunk and getting in fights to write any good music during kill em all

[ChrisOwnes]

so... metallica drank enough also... therefor they were called "Alcoholica".... >.>

Mustaine just doesn't make that much commercial like metallica so there are more people who know metallica more than megadeth.

And for saying that metallica are better songwritters than megadeth you should be killed... sry but thats the way it is..

and did u see that i got 3 thumbs down for saying mustaine wrote ride the lightning?

i mean... no...no..noooo... to much guys without any knowledge of the facts.

[breadheaded]

good joke btw, real chuckler. and mustaine is only credited with that one cord doesn't mean he wrote anything. If i came up with the power cord does that mean i wrote 99% of all the rock songs out there?

they kicked him out of the band for a reason

[ChrisOwnes]

first of all if u came up with the powerchord u indeed wrote 99% of all songs haha :D

they just kicked him out cause they couldn't handle him

[breadheaded]

time to collect my royalties

[BIGHAWK420]

@ChrisOwens You're a moron. Dave Mustaine only wrote ONE RIFF in the entire song Ride The Lightning and it uses the spider chord that Dave claims he invented. Megadeth doesn't make as much comercail as MetallicA? Have you ever even listened to the albums Cryptic Writings or Risk? Watch the Megadeth documentary. Dave say he changed their sound specifically to sell more records and make more money. MetallicA changed to compensate for James' voice and it's what they were feeling at the time.

[BijanMetallica]

Dave wrote riffs for 4 songs on Kill 'Em All and his solos were used as guidelines. He definitely had an impact on that album but to say he almost wrote the whole thing is completely overstating it.

[BIGHAWK420]

LMFAO@ChrisOwens again. Again you are a moron and FAIL!! Dave only CO-WROTE 4 fucking songs on the ENTIRE Kill Em All album and they were songs from their demo tape No Life Til Leather. Jump In The Fire, Phantom Lord, Metal Militia, and The Four Horsemen(which Dave brought from his first band Panic and was originally called The Mechanix). Fucking POSER!! I love Dave but as far as song writing goes James is WAY better. Dave couldn't dream of writing the power ballads that James does.

[darthganondorf22]

ha ha has anyone ever heard the live one on the saint anger live album? 'I forgot the fucking words...oh there they are!'

[eckz23]

yeeaaa ride that bitxh ass fucken lightning

fuck the jonas fags

[martini1779]

8:33

"We made it!"

xD

[Down989]

James looks like Morgan Spurlock here.

[DeathMagnetic6]

all you haters and jonas brother lovers need to do something... plug in an amp and Ride the FUCKING Lighting bitches!!!

[5585deathmage]

lol

[damedboy19]

[majyskthehedgehog]

@DeathMagnetic6 FUCK ( TO THE) YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

[bajoroko]

[TheUUUltimateFan]

[Guitarshredder804]

[minombreesfernando]

[xXspielenXx]

[bigbrown1421]

[musicForYourFace]
