Ride the Lightning was the first metal album I ever bought. F’uckin love that album.
First saw them on the Justice for all tour at Edinburgh Playhouse in 88. What a gig. 16 years old & me & my mate missed our bus back to Aberdeen 😂
Agree first 4 albums were magic - my favourite band by a country mile at that time. Then they got all trendy & went a bit showbiz and have produced a lot of sh’ite since.
Saw them at Donnington in 91 second on bill to AC/DC (some lineup that year) then didn’t see them again until Hydro in late 2017. They were pretty good to be fair. Played loads of the old stuff.
30 years between gigs, f’uck me...
