He wrote a riff that got made much better. Pretty much the story with all of them.

Does anyone really believe that this is Megadeth’s final album?

No he wrote the song

Honesty, Megadeth has put out more consistently good albums than Metallica. Metallica should have giving up 10 years ago

Hinestly he should release another Hidden Treasures with all the songs he has credits for. I mean Metallica used his music to propel themselves into mainstream. Turn about is fair play and it would introduce tons of young tallica fans into Megadeth and increase their popularity before Mustaine does his album with Elektra which is 100% going to happen and will be his LULU but what dad wouldnt want to spend that much time with their adult daughter and make those memories. And evsn if it was a mild success it could lead to more. I think hes retiring his voice not his guitar.

Would be cool to cover all his Mrtallica songs (or contributions minus 4 horseman bc THAT is HIS song. He even wrote the breakdown Metallica used that he didnt like. Not sure why Ulrich even has a credit on it. James wrote the new lyrics(likely bc legal said they had to).
@burtknighten4438

So Dave brought by far the best song on KEA to Metallica.
Metallica shouldnt have uses it. Im sure legal was all over it. Guarantee Am I evil and Blitzkrieg were planned recordings in case legal gave thumbs down on 4 horsemen and jump in the fire or phantom lord.

Supposedly he co wrote it. No proof, he word against theirs. Metallica is way better than Megadeth. Glad Megadeth is retiring next year

Megadeth is superior. Everyone knows that. Plus cutting your hair short is a disgrace. Metallica doesn't care about poor people who had to pirate their music through napster. Greedy materialistic mofos. You'll get your reward in the afterlife when satan gives you 12 000 virgin pop princesses who sold their souls to him for fame. (the catch is their cherry is unpopable and has spikes in it – they didn't read the fine print)

It's not a cover if you wrote it

I have been a huge fan of both Megadeth and Metallica since the early 80’s. I was the only kid in grade 4 who knew who they were and still have a 20+ probably generation copy of Kill’em All.
Either way the primary reason I started playing guitar was because of Dave.
I can’t wait until this new album comes out and will be in the front row when they come through my town.
As for RtL… it’s a long time in the coming and I can’t wait to hear the difference between the two takes of the song.

It's a "cover" hahahaha hell yeah Megadeth!! 🔥

December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
He wrote the whole shebang, Ride the Lightning is 100% Mustaine 😢
@Dead0rion-007

I thought they already covered a Metallica song called 'The Four Horsemen.'
@DP-eb2yn
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
This dick still thinks he's Metallica. All his versions were shit, for the 9 weeks of involvement
@DP-eb2yn
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
Metallicas version of anything he wrote was heaps better. Mechanix is fuckin garbage
@yuritesticoff1141
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
Dave would have us think he wrote st anger
@yuritesticoff1141
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
Dave is full of shit
@VanWailen

Whaddaya mean I’m covering Ride the Lightning?
I co-wrote every note.
@Oledeleonjr
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
Dave co/wrote Megadeths songs, too😂

Mustaine playing Ride the Lightning, is like Edison trying out his electric chair.

Someone had to show Jamez how to play.

Metallica covered Dave. Get it right.
@Wagnar6000

It’s not a Metallica song it was written by Dave . Metallica has ripped him off so many times
@Dead0rion-007

I thought it's gotta be Ktulu!
@shark70007000

I heard Dave kicked out all the bad people and started his own band. 🤷♂️

Of course, after 50 years of not letting go the Metallica thing, even when the Metallica guys never cared about Megadeth, of course the last song of the last Megadeth album must be related to Metallica. It's like if you would have never forgotten your high school GF, and years later, after a whole life with wife and kids, being a dying 80 year old man, you put your high school GF in your will. WTF 😂
@Caddyshhmack

I’m definitely not jonesing for Ride the Lightning with Mustaine’s voice on it.
@abrahama2643
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
I'm sure Metallica can still do a good job playing Ride the Lightning, but they're not really that band anymore.
Megadeth can pull this off because they're STILL a band that plays songs like Ride the Lightning.

There are a couple of Metallica di*k riders in this comment section 😂. Metallica are sell outs but posers love them.
@bluebehir
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
This is definitely the most talked about Megadeth album before it's even released, so he's definitely built it up a lot. Can't slam the marketing.

I love Metallica, but I honestly believe that Megadeth is just as talented but is underrated and I love as well.
@BunnySock333

I honestly wanted one last session with James and Lars even if it was only to rerecord Metallica songs with Dave in the recording. I remember even when I first listened to Metallica albums back in the day you could hear the songs Dave cowrote because of the chord structure that was distictly Dave's.
@paintediva

Stop calling it a cover. He co-wrote the song, so therefore, it is not a cover! A cover is when you do someone else's music and RTL is his own music.

How you gonna cover a song you wrote?????
@yournamehere9024
December 17, 2025 at 4:45 am
this is NOT a cover, this song was originally done by Dave and Metallica fired him and ripped him off, NOT a cover

IDK…No Ellefson no Megadeth IMO
