Like, I went to a party here in S.F., there were all these freaks shooting up and geezin’ and this other girl was real sick.” It is Metallica’s most played song of all time. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you’re taking and doing its drugs controlling you. Now widely considered a classic of thrash metal, the album proved to be a modest commercial success upon its release by reaching 29 on the U.S. The album was recorded in 1985 and released by Elektra Records on Main North America. In an 1988 interview with Thrasher magazine, lead singer James Hetfield explained the meaning behind the track: ““Master of Puppets” deals pretty much with drugs. Master of Puppets is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. “Master of Puppets” was written by all members of Metallica and is a song about the eventual side effects drugs will have on an individual’s life. 10 ( pre-order ).“Master of Puppets” is the second track from the 1986 album of the same name from Metallica, an American heavy metal band.
The remastered Master Of Puppets comes out Nov. This newly released demo from late June 1985 offers an early version, not nearly as thick and grandiose as what would it become, as Hetfield yells in his upper register (before he discovered his belly howl), with guitar solos that hadn't quite found their purpose yet. The album's title track, for me, remains a master class in heavy metal songwriting - its chaotic and righteous speed carries the main riff to the soaring chorus, where James Hetfield screams "Your life burns faster / Obey your master" with pained desperation. It's the kind of fan service that understands just how obsessed we are with Puppets - when Metallica, just barely in their 20s, elevated thrash to high art. Pick your poison: there's the expanded CD box set, remastered vinyl, a hardcover book with unseen photos and one that collects them all. Metallica's 1986 album Master Of Puppets gets the super deluxe reissue treatment in November, with more demos, riff tapes, outtakes, rough mixes and live performances than you can chop on a mirror.
