Ride the Lightning - Metallica - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Ride the Lightning" is a song by Metallica from their second studio album of the same name. The title is taken from The Stand, a novel by author Stephen King.

"Flash before my eyes / Now it's time to die / Burning in my brain / I can feel the flames." The album's artwork features an empty electric chair being struck by lightning bolts coming from the band’s stylized Metallica logo. The backing tracks for "Ride the Lightning" is available with background vocals or as an instrumental on Karaoke Version.
