Instrumento:
I have included all of the song that I know, which is most of it. I know i'm
missing a few parts: Kirk's solo, Cliff's solo, and the rythm part before &
after Kirk's solo. If you have the parts that I didn't tab, feel free to tab
them yourself, and add them to mine and re-post this on OGLA. Feel free to
correct or add to all of my other tabs, too (The Shortest Straw, Green Hell,
Metal Militia). And sorry if this comes across all screwed up, because Eudora
really screws tabs up for spacing and stuff.

Intro (after Cliff's solo)

"Ride The Lightning", nome de um álbum do Metallica, é uma gíria usada por condenados à cadeira elétrica.

Segundo o baterista Lars, essa é a visão política do Metallica: Lars e Kirk são de esquerda; James é de direita.

Na época de Garage Inc., o Metallica tinha fotos de mulheres nuas espalhadas por todo o estúdio. Segundo o batera Lars, isso servia de inspiração.
