[nybaby40]

oh please...who says you sound the same when you are 50 as when you were 20??? Are people posting this, teens? Please, a comment like that makes you sound ignorant..... you cannot compare apples with oranges.... To me, James doesn't sound the same as when he was in his20s but that doesn't mean he still doesn't sound AWESOME!

[Jambles3]

JESUS MAN! The guitar solo is about 3 minutes long!

[pervysage35]

My air guitar just exploded.

[oscarglz88]

this is metallicas worst song ever i like the guitar but not the lyrics the dont even rhyme

[lordifandk]

@oscarglz88 you must be deaf the lyrics dont rhyme? come on you are kidding right?

[p3druptt]

@oscarglz88 .|. Flash before my eyes , now its time to you to die!

[ilovechroniccandy]

METALLICA!! Forever

[AnamariaOcampo99]

omg, i was just listening to unforgiven three and now i listen to this, its like what a different voice! its sos sad, james lost his voice

[scotty688]

@AnamariaOcampo99 That's true, James voice has gone since the 'Ride the Lightning' album, saying that though 'All Nightmare Long' from their newest album shows that he still has a little left in him. It is sad, but I guess the majority of people these days wouldn't be interested if his voice was still like this, ALL people that enjoy this type of music and how his voice WAS automatically have my FULL respect.

[dansdinisty]

@scotty688 His voice is still pretty good

[STREETWOLFarg]

@scotty688 an those who like both the before and the after?

[TheGhostSaint]

@scotty688

I listened to Hit The Lights live and his voice was MUCH different 

[devastate1234]

@scotty688 everyones voice changes over time

[Panoso0]

@AnamariaOcampo99 i thought metallica used to have a different singer until this album lol!!! he sounds so different but still good i think

[weeweeman1243]

@AnamariaOcampo99 listen to the original i is alot better to me... if u wanna though, ur choice

[annacarolinaaraujo]

@AnamariaOcampo99 Nada a ver vei James tem a melhor voz do Mundo e sempre terá

[SNOWY13165]

@AnamariaOcampo99 it isn't his voice thats wrong, it's just the people who run the studio, they fuck up Hetfield's voice for some reason, but i still think the music is fine :)

[Turtletypernumbah12]

I dont care if dave mustaine helped write this song, I still want to push him off the face of the earth.

[HeroxYouxH8]

Turning volume to max. Even though I have tinnitus xD

[GNRFOREVERPAWNS]

The 4 that dislike this song will not ride the lighting for they will instead be ZAPPED BY THE LIGHTNING!

[ShadowCatgirlX]

thumbs up if you're a metallica fan!

[mysterygal98]

PLEASE READ!

It's not a good idea to go to Biebers video & click the dislike button cause every time we go to his video he gets payed a few cents cause his vid's sponsered. Instead we pick songs like this & get as many people as we can to watch so by the 9th of July all rock videos will be most viewed on youtube charts.This will get the younger audience to listen to good music & might have good rock bands form again.PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE! THUMBS UP!

[MrBlam62]

i listen to this song when its lighting out side

[Axel4131]

3:43 to 4:34 is the reason i run around my house doing air guitar

[marioandluigi012345]

This is why Lars Ulrich inspired me to learn the drums.

[vpfan207]

@marioandluigi012345 and why Kirk Hammett inspired ME to play the guitar

[carlyluvszeepugs]

guitar bri- oh you werent supposed to sing that...

[EternalWarrior12]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! :D (I may be a girl,but I LOVE Metallica!!!!)

[4everDanai]

@EternalWarrior12 me too ;) ROCK ON!!!!

[WNxWolfinator]

[KalMi44aKt]

4 people don't think it was the best guitarsolo they've ever heard

[aztkhammett]

in this song Dave mustain wrote the song, but Kirk is who wrote this Epic Guitar Solo .

[RobarthVideo]

@aztkhammett lol, nope

[Turtletypernumbah12]

@deathmetalwarrior880 thank you!!!! agreed!!!!

[Turtletypernumbah12]

I know that dave mustaine helped write this song, but I don't care. Kirk Hammet kicks dave's ass.

[Break1ngTh3Law]

It's Kirkie :D not Mustain

[MortalSaleKombat]

111 THRASH !!!

[MrWilldog56]

4 people did indeed not ride the lightning, but got struck by it.....

[xXDinoman1997Xx]

Too...Much...Metal...

[rykoy]

1:33 close your eyes and you will hear "MY PENIS"

[brashkniv]

@rykoy hahahahaha XD

[Diggler397]

Awesome videos! *subscribes*

[hartland20lacrosse]

00:47 - 00:51 :D

[leviathanathos]

SO FUCKING EPIC

[MistahMondayKnight]

Is this kirk or dave that plays this?

[scotty688]

@MistahMondayKnight Both, 1:57 is a Spider Chord riff pattern, which is a Dave Mustain technique, where as the solo is all done by Kirk I think, I'm not actually sure if that is true now, Kirk is great but I don't think he could write a solo that good compared to other solos he's written. Shame that Dave had to go before they finished Ride the Lightning, Dave was an awesome guitarist... still is today but he plays for Megadeth.

[kilfridg]

@scotty688 Actually Kirk played this not Dave. Dave had allready formed Megadeth when this album came out. Sorry people.

[scotty688]

@kilfridg 'Ride the Lightning' and 'The Call of Ktulu' were the only songs Mustaine were apart of from the Album 'Ride the Lightning' Both these songs are credited to Dave Mustaine.

[kilfridg]

@scotty688 Yes he is credited with the writing of those two songs. But Kirk played, not Dave. Dave has played on none of the Metallica Studio albums.

[infinityward0]

@kilfridg no ur wrong i was there

[MIKEYEKIMIKEY]

@scotty688 I researched, and Kirk wrote all solos in Ride the Lightning and also on on Kill Em All, but on Kill Em All they were mostly improvised 'better'.... Kirk is a bad ass soloist, i can always feel the emotion in his solos no matter what album it is on

[scotty688]

@MIKEYEKIMIKEY Hmm, I don't know too much, I just know that Ride the Lightning and Call of Ktulu were both credited to Dave. Kirk was an awesome guitarist, comparing these solos to their newer stuff, well yeah... no where near as much feeling into them and the attitude.

[MIKEYEKIMIKEY]

@scotty688 Yea, I read that the riffs and stuff were credited but the songs where un finished when Kirk came and he basically improvised the rest and that is how it came out (effect of drugs xD) Their newer stuff has alot of creativity and emotion, not as much complexity and shredding, but it has a lot to them, if you actually listen

[lordifandk]

@scotty688 listen to dyers eve that guitar solo beats any solo made by dave and normaly i say that dave is a little better when it comes to guitar skills but not in this case the guitar solo in dyers eve beats any guitar done by dave

[lordifandk]

@scotty688 he was kicked out befire they even recorded kill em all in a studio

[Drax113]

@MistahMondayKnight Dave didn't play on any Metallica studio album. He was throwed out of the band before the recording session of Kill 'Em All. Kirk is guitarist on every album, therefore Dave on the first albums is in the credits (for the guitar techniques and riffs).

[lordifandk]

@MistahMondayKnight kirk dave wasnt even on the album kill em all when they recorded it

[kilfridg]

@MistahMondayKnight Dave played on None of the Metallica albums. Hope this answers your question. IF you want DAVE listen to Megadeth.

[Dante7yagami]

3 people we will SEEK AND DESTROY ONE..by ONE.its SAD BUT TRUE.they have to love the MASTER OF PUPPETS.they might FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE back but they dont have the BATTERY to do it.

[1357ch1]

i see ur point. but wichever they like.............METALLICA RULES!!

[noobtube3000]

ok its 3 people those jokes are fucking useless when its atleast 30 then its good to fly although their really unoriginal! and are kind of getting annoying just listen to the eargasm 3 people were un able to accomplish.

[jnewlo2003]

Im sorry,but Eruption is best guitar solo ever even though on the Van Halen album its its own song,but its really the solo opening for You Really Got Me Now

[1357ch1]

it is a wiked solo, but my opion is the solo in The Day That Never Comes, listen to the last 3 or so miniuts and then we can see who like it more, i u like this one, dont like this comment, if u do like and we see wich comes out on top!!

METALLICA 4EVER!!!!

[scotty688]

@1357ch1 The solo is The Day that Never Comes is nice, but will never compare to the solo in Ride the Lightning. I know both solo's for the band im in and I'll tell you, Ride the Lightning solo is a hell of a lot harder to play and took a while to learn too, The Days that Never Comes solo was easy to learn, did it by ear.

[blastedpotato]

@scotty688 Try the Angel of Death (slayer) guitar solo. Its good but not better than this.

[PsychoG0d666]

You know this songs good and all ...acually amazing ..,but my favorite song by metallica would have to be ...METALLICA :) ...there is not favorite because every single one of their songs are godly :)

[b3llab33]

this song starts amazingly then gets better from that point on

[Jinxprincess13]

headbanging makes me dizzy.

[TheBoorisha]

@metallicadashiz lol

your kid is gonna listen good music

[reptar656]

hahaha the 3 ppl who dont like this are probly some bible thumping dick hole hahahaha metallica is beasty

[wowdoomblood12]

@reptar656 Im a christan and metallica is my favorite band O.o ther probly just biber worshipers

[Jinxprincess13]

@wowdoomblood12 enoiugh with the damned Bieber hate things! Ok, you don't like him, some of the others watching this who LIKE this might be! I'm not, I don't listen to pop as a general rule, but peopel have different tastes in music. Stop ahting on him, it doesn't do ANYTHING but piss the shit out of others. posting suff abot Bieber on a Metallica vid is just stupid anyway. It, again, does NOTHING.

[bribrigirl08]

@Jinxprincess13 THANK YOU! someone who understands. i'm not a fan either, i prefer metal and classic rock. but it gets VERY ANNOYING when people mention him on legendary artists' music. he has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it! his style of music is completely different than metal and rock! Jesus, people needa get a grip.

[Jinxprincess13]

@reptar656 are YOU racist?

[TheBoorisha]

@metallicadashiz erm isn't Enter Sandman more of a naptime song? lol

[tankcolt09]

Metallica forever. Though with there new stuff it is ok. but the old school metallica will always be the best! Long live Metallica

[mookiex09]

Man everytime I hear a Metallica.... I love the messages in the song and the guitar solo's are fucking radical. One of the reasons why I started playing the guitar.

[hatesunlight]

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW METALLICA MAKES ME FEEL! IT'S F*ING AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CRY OR CRINGE IN DISBELIEFE! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[godofalex3600]

the solo of 3:49 is just amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ozartehgreat]

if you want melodic and rythmic thrash listen to metallica

if you want brutality and dark lyrics listen to slayer

if you want speed style listen to anthrax

if you want something all round listen o megadeth

[marakiiiLOVE]

@ozartehgreat agreee
