Here are three obscure and fun facts about Ride the Lightning:
"Escape" Was Written to Be a Radio-Friendly Song:
The track "Escape" was an experiment to create a more accessible, radio-friendly song, which was atypical for Metallica at the time. The band later expressed that they felt pressured by their record label to include such a song and weren't very fond of it. In fact, they performed it live for the first time only in 2012—nearly three decades after the album's release!
The Album Was Almost Called Something Else:
Before settling on Ride the Lightning, Metallica considered naming the album Metal Up Your Ass. However, their label rejected it as too offensive, which ultimately led to the decision to go with the current title. The original concept even included cover art featuring a hand holding a dagger coming out of a toilet bowl! This concept was later used for a band T-shirt instead.
The Title Was Inspired by a Stephen King Novel:
The album's title, Ride the Lightning, came from a passage in Stephen King's novel The Stand. In the book, a character uses the phrase to describe being executed in the electric chair. Cliff Burton, Metallica's bassist and a voracious reader, brought the phrase to the band, and they thought it was perfect for the album.

thanks for spoiling The Stand for me. Also am glad this wasn't called Metal Up Your Ass. I probably would not have listened to it if it was

Album is a stone cold classic when you have nerds like us discussing its personal sentimental values and motives behind the artistic aspirations for decades.
