An updated version of a video I did a year ago with much higher quality audio files and a better pitch shifting program. Context: Metallica's second album Ride the Lightning (1984) isn't in E standard - A=440hz tuning, but is actually slightly sharp, some songs more than others. I haven't been able to find a definitive reason as to why this is, but the prevailing theory is it was deliberately sped up in post to sound more “aggressive“ (this is most prominently heard in James' vocals).
