AKIRA RIDES THE LIGHTNING

(Metallica's Ride The Lightning + Akira)

Here's what to do if you have the DVD: after stopping the disc back to the beginning, start it and immediately push pause. Press pause again to get to the exact first frame of the film. Then unpause Ride The Lightning and start Akira a second-and-a-half into the album. It sounds a lot harder than it really is.

Checkpoint

The massive distorted guitars doing their staccato thing should kick in when director Katsuhiro Otomo's name appears. For those of you with the VHS, I imagine it's much simpler...you can just follow the checkpoint and be on easy street.
