"Megadeth performed 'Ride the Lightning' live for the first time during their Sunday show in Bogota, Colombia. This song, co-written by Dave Mustaine while he was in Metallica, is the title track of the seminal 1984 album Ride the Lightning."
"Mustaine described the choice to perform 'Ride the Lightning' as a 'full-circle' moment, ending his career where it began over 40 years ago. The song appeared in the live setlist just after 'Mechanix,' which Mustaine also co-wrote with Metallica."
Megadeth played 'Ride the Lightning' live for the first time during a show in Bogota, Colombia. The song, co-written by Dave Mustaine while in Metallica, is from the 1984 album of the same name. Although Mustaine contributed riffs, the song was mainly composed by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. This performance followed 'Mechanix,' another song co-written by Mustaine. 'Ride the Lightning' also appears on Megadeth's recent self-titled album. Mustaine called this performance a 'full-circle' moment as the band embarks on a farewell tour.
