Metallica: 10 Criminally Underplayed Songs You Need To Hear

4. Trapped Under Ice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=455-CIgc7co Escape is the track from album Ride the Lightning that the band never play due to the high school-esque lyrics and Hetfield's hatred of the final product, but just before that is Trapped Under Ice - a brilliant No Remorse-style lead guitar showcase that flies out of the gate at lightspeed and never lets up. As Kirk was taking lessons from Joe Satriani at this point his prowess behind the strings was something else entirely, and it's on songs like this where the guys must have just gone "Play something as fast as you can", resulting in the horn-hand-throwing pleasure of songs like this.
