Ride the Lightning - what does it mean?

To be executed by electrocution. Most commonly, the electric chair.

"Ole' boy's gonna ride the lighting for killing that man."

And you, Elaine. You'd die, too, and my curse is knowing I'll be there to see it. That's my punishment, you see? My punishment for letting John Coffey ride the lightning. For killing a miracle of God.

Ride the Lightning - meaning

Quite the album. Except for one song, all of them are quality. The exception is Fight Fire With Fire. Ya. In my opinion tied for Metallica's second best album with the black album, and behind Master of Puppets. However, It has my two fave Metallica songs being Fade to Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls. But all of the songs are amazin, you just never listen to them. The title song is amazin.

Flash before my eyes, now its time to die!

Ride the Lightning

Awesome album by Metallica. Features great songs like Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls, the title track, and more. Awesome stuff from Metallica with more goodness to follow...also the name of some stupid indie rock's album that no one cares about that they used to get attention just because they're a bunch of thieving whores.

Ride the Lightning is a terrific album.
