What if "Enter Sandman" was on "Ride The Lightning"? [Remastered]

[@SarimFaruque]

I really love Ride the Lightning's frosty, crispy sound

[@rexsephe]

Yes, it's almost like it is Trapped under ice! 😂

[@GamingDrummer89]

I love the sound, too, but if I'm comparing it to the version on The Black Album I wouldn't call this version "crispy". It actually sounds quite a bit warmer in the mids (especially with the guitars) whereas The Black Album has more attack and a darker drum sound.

[@jakeasterisk2694]

Try it with the whole black album 🤕 this song tho shoulda been on an early thrash album agree this song is an old school metallica song.

Even better - you are doing amazing work. Just like the first version, I turned it up to 1.25 speed and it sounded even more like 1984 Metallica.

Well, when you're an aged man, the benefits of your younger self do fade away. This is precisely one of the reasons why I just can't do live shows, because I crave the sound of when the music was originally released.

[@jackolantern6172]

Yeah I was a Metallica super fan most of my life, Megadeth and Metallica were the first bands that I really got into as a kid. But I was poor so I didn’t see Metallica until I was in my mid-20s, and I’m now 30. I was pretty disappointed. They put on a good SHOW but as far as the music goes it’s very watered down, rushed and novelty. They sound plonky and unenthusiastic. Nothing compared to the 80’s and 90’s stuff that I grew up obsessed with

[@XenonVortex]

This was my first rework, and I would like to completely revamp it soon. Rearrange it to be more like a Ride the Lightning track! To everyone who's listened, whether you like the track or not, I appreciate you tuning in.

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

Bravo, dude. I don't know how you did this, but it's incredible. Just wish I could hear the bass guitar and not have to use EQ to hear the kick drum.

[@radg3ar456]

I think it’s so close to perfect! The speed of 1.25x is basically the missing piece. It’s flawless.
