No need to hear the things that they say
Life's for my own, to live my own way
Ride and Kill were such a huge part of my teen years. The later stuff was good, but couldn't hold a candle to those first two albums.
Side note that made me laugh: a young friend of mine (mid 20s) had heard Pulling Teeth over the years and thought it was a lame guitar solo. I played him a video of Cliff shredding and his mind was blown.

Same - but I'd add Garage Days as well.
The Four Horsemen was a favorite to listen to while suiting up to paddle out on a pre-dawn winter surf when the buoys were reading 20ft +.
IMHO - more raw energy in Kill. Great stuff to psych up and do something dumb!
Here's one of the less dumb days. Right in the fun zone actually!
I'm in this video - white board / black wetsuit.

Garage Days was cool, but for a different reason: it introduced me to a new type of music. All my crowd became Misfits fans after that cassette came out.
I saw the Master of Puppets tour, with Metal Church opening, in late '86. To my eternal regret, this was just after they returned to the road after the death of Cliff Burton.
I did mushrooms at some point that night and I also bought a Ride the Lightning shirt with a glow in the dark skeleton. We ended up at a party at some stranger's apartment and I ended up standing in the dark bathroom staring at my shirt in the mirror for a long time. It was a good night.

ROFL - same shirt - black light & "American Woman" as translated by The Butthole Surfers.
edit - forgot to add the 1/8th of shrooms...
Went spelunking in the storage room for some relics. Hard to believe that 35 years have passed.
The glowing skeleton that mushroomed me found so fascinating:
And from a year earlier, this thing is falling apart, but still a treasure.
