Very longtime HardRadio friends MEGADETH have revealed the full tracklisting for their self-titled final album, due out January 23. The album includes "Tipping Point," the first single as heard on HardRadio, and a very special bonus track: a reimagined version of "Ride The Lightning," which Mustaine co-wrote with Metallica's James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group's 1984 album. "As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include 'Ride The Lightning,' a song I co-wrote with James, Lars, and Cliff, was to pay my respects to where my career first started," Mustaine says.
