best...head banging...song...ever...only song i learned on bass, guitar, and drums...in my 25 years of life....the quintessential head banging, middle finger flying, metal song of the past 27 years
@dronesweeper it is "Hit the Lights", it was recorded for Metal Mania magazine. I remember living in the Bay area and picking up the mixtape of all the bands, and "Hit the Lights" was on the mixtape. that was in '81 man. \m/
Thats too bad Cliff isn't alive to play this. R.I.P. Cliff Burton. Your Spirit and music lives through all Metallica fans and Metallicaholics. METALLICA AND CLIFF FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
I personally think his vocal skills have gotten a hell of a lot better as he's gotten older. They've really matured and sound a lot better, in my opinion.
Wow Lars did a great job with the drumming especially the double bass notes in the intro sounds so fucking awesome it sounds just like a horse galloping :D
