“I had a grasp of music theory, thanks to Joe (Satriani, who was teaching Hammett ahead of recording Ride), but Cliff went the whole length and learned musical theory and everything. "Cliff studied music in college,” Hammett said. Guitarist Kirk Hammett recalls in an interview with Guitar World how Burton was the guy who had the musical theory and brought his love of harmonies to the songs.
Tracks like "Fight Fire with Fire", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Ride the Lightning", "Fade to Black", "Creeping Death" and, of course, "Call of Ktulu" were co-written by Burton, who died tragically in a bus accident in Sweden on Sept.
The legend had a bigger hand in helping write more songs (he only got writing credits for "Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth" from Kill 'Em All. There's no question Metallica's sophomore album, Ride the Lightning saw the band finding their thrash metal stride with better songs and production than on their stunning debut Kill 'Em All.Īnd a big reason the songs got better and were more mature, for lack of a better word, on Ride was because of bassist Cliff Burton's influence.
