Megadeth took their cover of Metallica‘s “Ride The Lightning” to the stage for the first time last night, April 26th. That live debut went down at the Movistar Arena in Bogota, Colombia, and fan-filmed footage has newly been uploaded of it. Much has been said already about Mustaine‘s decision to cover this track, given that he holds writing credits on it from his time in Metallica in the early 1980s.
If you somehow missed the news prior, Megadeth included their new rendition of the song on their farewell album, this past January’s chart-topping self-titled affair.
