In 1984 Metallica relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark (Ulrich's birthplace) where they recorded their second album 'Ride The Lightning'. It hit the shelves on July 27 of that year and has to date sold in excess of 5million copies in the States. Containing such musical mammoths as 'Whom The Bell Tolls' and the biblical 'Creeping Death' it was a landmark album for the band. The above green version is now a collectors' item after a French printing press accidentally failed to issue it in the intended blue. Doh!

- Page 3 - McGovney wasn\'t duly kicked out", he was only a temporary bassist and had no plans on staying with the band.
Page 6 - The name of the song is \'For Whom the Bell Tolls\'
Page 29 - The Rob contributing more quote.... Jason contributed a WHOLE lot for TBA but Robs input was more accepted by the control freaks Hetfield and Ulrich.
- Metallica suck ass
- I also like how they pretend Dave Mustaine was gone before Kill’m All was recorded.
- #10, screw you, ...And Justice For All was their best album by far! ****s.
