No Picture tony Average	#2 by tony lambiase at May 22, 2006 at 2:17 AM EST
	Amazing song! It's not just about Anti-War, it's (in depth) Anti-Nuclear Warfare, which is ironic, as it was created near the time of the Cold war. But, what's the end all about (the bit that sounds like wind right at the end)? Nuclear Winter?

No Picture Karl Average	#3 by Karl Dear at May 24, 2006 at 4:49 AM EST
	it means if we launch a nuke they will so we both die

No Picture J Rhythm Player	#4 by J Stew at Jul 5, 2006 at 8:40 PM EST
	Does the intro remind anyone else of Blackbird by The Beatles?

No Picture BOOKER Average	#5 by BOOKER at Nov 18, 2006 at 8:50 PM EST
	When I first pulled out the Ride The Lightning album from my older brother's CD collection, I thought "Oh god metallica this stuff is too hard for me" but I tried it anyway. At first I was so bewildered by the orchestra-beginning and then STUNNED by the rapid transformation into a heavier metallic beat. I was like "WHOAa" so I listened to all the songs! From that day forward to this day, Ride The Lightning is one of my favorite albums and never seems to die, all the songs are very unique and moving, especially Fight Fire With Fire in my mind because it showed me that something isn't as it appears ;D

No Picture aaron Wanna Be	#6 by aaron dyke at Dec 20, 2006 at 10:59 AM EST
	This song sucks! Metallica suck! In fact, all but the song "One" suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Face the truth guys, the drummer is shit, and the singer can't sing. The bass guitar is terrible.

No Picture Craigy Average	#7 by Craigy t at Jun 17, 2007 at 11:30 PM EST
	Opinions are like asses... everybodys got one and they all stink!

No Picture GRIM Professional	#8 by GRIM at Jul 7, 2007 at 8:27 AM EST
	Is it just me or are the drums on fire in this song... Lars is FAST... listen to the Bass drum rolls from 3.30 mins on. anyway this is the kind of agressive song to listen when workin' out...

No Picture danielle Lead Player	#9 by danielle woodley at Sep 25, 2007 at 9:56 AM EST
	The biblical sense of "retibutive justice" could be the catalyst that causes a nuclear holocaust.
