In this quick-hit episode, I give my raw, no-filter reaction to Megadeth’s cover of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning.”
From the riffs to the feel, I break down what works, what hits different, and how it stacks up against the original thrash classic.

This isn’t about picking sides — it’s about respect for the genre, the history, and what happens when legends reinterpret legends.

Strap in. ⚡
Because when Megadeth touches Ride the Lightning, sparks are guaranteed.

Dave Mustaine didn’t need permission to cover “Ride the Lightning.”
He just needed to play it better than you remembered.
