Episode 791: Lightning Strikes!

We all love Metallica here in the RAM offices. But those first
four 80s albums was when our fandom burned brightest. And
depending on the day, Record #2 "Ride The Lightning" is one of
our faves. The combination of brutal thrash, brilliant
musicianship and songwriting and bombastic attitude also makes it
one of the more influential underground albums of the day. And
this amazing slab 'o wax turns 40 (!!) years young. So we're
doing a deep dive as part of our continuing look at some of the
classics from '84. Lightning up your Ass!!


In our "News, Views and Tunes", we crank new and used from
Bloodfeast, Bikini Kill, Warhead, Drift Into Black and introduce
NYs Legionary in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!
