I would say when we were recording [ Ride the Lightning] we were still in that same lifestyle situation where we were living literally hand to mouth... So, we really, really wanted these songs to be the best that they possibly could be sonically, and in the execution of the production. So, we had the constant [mindset]: 'Is this the best that we can get it? Is this the best the guitar sound could be?'
We need to make an album that could stand up to everything else out there!" - Kirk Hammett
