Ride the Lightning is very precise when it comes down to timing, and notes, which are the building blocks of music itself. And wow, I could NOT have been more artsy-fartsy than that. Dallas from Viking, Canadai just cant get into this song. Michael from Greenwood, Ini dont think this song gets enough props as it should, this is a great song. Tim from Leuven, Belgiumfight fire with fire is better. Brian from Mayfield Heights, Ohjust because their lyrics arent obtuse and vague doesnt mean they arent poets.
