Metallica - Master Of Puppets

2008-07-24 08:50:02

"Master of Puppets" is a song by thrash metal band Metallica. It is the title track of their 1986 album. It shares a similar album structure with Ride the Lightning in having the title track as the second track, preceded by a shorter, high-speed typical thrash metal track. There are several such track similarities on Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All. "Master of Puppets" is also notable for its long instrumental section beginning about three and a half minutes into the song. The song, as James Hetfield explained,"deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing it's drugs controlling you." The lyrics "chop your breakfast on a mirror" for instance refer to the act of preparing powdered cocaine.

Visions of the Night
From the artist: "Death/Black Metal with haunting atmospheres and elements of militarism"
Lady, The Band
From the artist: "Classic British rock, Lady were from Barnsley, England. Born and demised in the 1980's, they did a fair bit of gigging around the country but always enjoyed playing the xmas show at The Toby Jug, Barnsley. Almost brought an album out, but didn't!"
ThorncrafT
From the artist: "Black metal with a slight Death metal influence. Very fast, very extreme. Influences include Darkthrone and Mayhem."
Kopek
From the editors: These Dubliners play stormy roots rockers one minute, jaded urban beat addicts the next, and administrators of snarling vocals and gummy guitar textures always. That mix--essentially hard rock cut off from scene and time--can recall BRMC and just about nobody else.
