    Imagine being a teen when this comes out. There's no internet, no cell phones, no PCs. Most radio stations would never play this at the time, or if they did it was after midnight on a Saturday in the special "adult songs only" hour. The only way to know about music like this was word of mouth, passing cassettes and flyers around. Good times!!

      @@vampcatt To be fair even in the internet age there's a lot of underground music that only gets moved because of word of mouth. There's still bands out there that play local venues but don't get regional or national clout. There's bands who don't/can't tour but who release their music online (youtube etc) that have a core following but don't make it big or just do it "as a hobby", and a some that actually make it big and get labelled (Ghost etc).
      Word of mouth still exists online, It's just called "sharing", and there's a load of good bands who don't get shared.

    Bruh I was 14 working at a Kroger (Regional grocery store) and heard this song blasting out of a car in the parking lot. Raised in a baptist home, I had no exposure to secular music. I'd never heard metal before. I asked the guy what it* was and he took the tape (yes, tape) out and straight gave it to me. Changed my life.

      Another kid on the bus had a Walkman with I think ride the lightning.

    It was 1986, I was 17 years old. Me and a friend drove to the liquer store where they sold beer to underage people. On the way there my buddy says "you gotta hear this" He pulls a cassette tape out of his coat pocket and plays master of puppets. It was that day my musical world was changed forever.

    • @Pohgrey
      @Pohgrey 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      So similar to my story, only I was 16 in '86, and it was Kill 'Em All that my friend put in the cassette player in his car on our way to go get some beer. At that time, a friend had loaned me Peace Sells, But Who's Buying so I had already been introduced to thrash metal, but Kill 'Em All took it to another level and I was blown away. Music has never been the same for me ever since.

    Listen to it again with the knowledge that it's about addiction, and the master is the drug. The first break is when the user uses and you get that initial beauty, that gives way to sadness, then builds back into the desperation of the beginning of the song. It really is a masterpiece.

    Hey, Man.
    I am 55 years old. I bought this album (on casette) in 1986 when it came out. By the time it had dropped, I had already worn out my copies of their first two albums. Your reaction was not only genuine, it was the same as my reaction 37 years ago. It was like being struck by lightning and being hit in the head with a sledgehammer at the same time. Yet, somehow, bringing me emmence joy. Thank you for being respectful and open-minded to all genres of music. Art is art. Furthermore, to answer your question, yes, this IS what Metallica does to people.
    Thanks again.
    May God continue to bless you and your family.

      54 here, and it took a minute for this album to grow on me. Peace Sells was my first real introduction to thrash metal, and I was hooked immediately. Then I discovered Kill 'Em All and it was all over. I loved that album so much, and MoP was a bit of a departure from it, so I wasn't immediately taken with it. It did grow on me tho, and I think now it might be their best album. Tho I do think And Justice For All is more ambitious, it was hampered by horrible production and mixing. Lars almost ruined that album.

After that I started seeking out other Metallica stuff and they quickly became my favorite band for the next few years.

      They were actually 22-23 years old when it was released in March of 1986. James and Lars were 22 and Cliff and Kirk were 23. James and Lars had to be 21 when the song was written because they started recording just a month after James turned 22 and Lars was still 21 throughout recording.

    The riff changes with Metallica are phenomenal. Not everyone can handle the changes but I think they've told the ultimate story JUST with the instrumentals. If you think about it, all those riff changes are a living element of addiction. The highs and the crashes are the the same as the riff changes. That's what an addict experiences

      It is absolutely from the perspective of the drug or other source of addiction. Pay attention to when it's using I and Me, and what's being said with it.
      "Taste ME you will see
      More is all you need
      Dedicated to
      How I'm killing you"
      Basically try me and you'll be on the hook and want more. You want more of the me no matter what, even though I'm destroying you. Definitely the substance talking. Not the user, not the addiction. The substance personified, controlling you and laughing at you as you struggle.

      You know what's funny is, the first Metallica song I ever heard was Battery, and it initially sounded more like punk to me than metal. I know, I know... it's most definitely not punk, but that was my first impression. I didn't really warm up to them until I heard Kill 'Em All, and that blew me away. Then I went back to listen to Battery again, along with the rest of the album through a different lens, which made me realize it was pure heavy metal genius, through and through.

    The flow of the song takes you on the ride of a junkie. The tweaking, jerky, manic start. The sudden smoothing out of the high that slowly fades away back to the mania. I love it when the song flow mirrors the lyrics. Evenflow by Pearl Jam comes to mind.

  • @mikeabendroth8337

    This song is nothing but pure genius. It's written from 2 different perspectives at the same time: drug addict and drug itself. The music portion is from the perspective of the addict. The lyrical portion is from the perspective of the drug except for one small part. When the music starts picking back up again, the lyrics and music merge to both come from the perspective of the addict...
    Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after? Master, Master, you've promised only lies. Laughter, laughter, all I see or hear is laughter. Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries. FIX ME!
    And that is when the perspectives separate and it's back to Master (drug of choice) and addict.

    The drummer, Lars Ulrich, was inspired by the drummer for The Police, Stewart Copeland. When he does the pauses, he's offsetting the beat by one. The rest of the band continues on the standard, 1-2-3-4 pattern, but he's switched to 2-3-4-1. Then on the next pause he goes back in sync with the band.

    I had just started high school when this came out, and it changed my, and everyone else's perception of what heavy metal was forever. Cliff Burton's (their bassist) formal training in classical music, and a deep understanding of music theory by the time he graduated high scool, was a huge influence on those early albums. Mixed with their (at the time) no compromise, high octane approach to heavy music, Cliff and Metallica helped define an entire genre. This was just as, if not more, mind blowing back in the 80s as it is today. If you want to continue down the rabbit hole give Disposable Heroes from the same album a listen. That song will kick your teeth in both musically and lyrically.

    I've always taken it that the start is the drug trying to lure, seduce, tempt you. Goading you. Then the music break where it gets mellow and gradually amps back up, is the high once you give in to the temptation. It gets more frantic and then you realize what it's done and you're yelling at the drug. Then the drug comes back in and torments you, boasts and brags about it. Absolutely my favorite Metalica song. Thanks for reacting to it. If you haven't done "One" you should (Official video please). And you have to do Enter Sandman (the live concert in Russia in 1991. It will blow your mind)

    This song is about addiction and the puppet master is the drug that takes controle of your life. Also the song is structured to reflect the way in which addiction takes hold of you with the high energy in the beginning, then you get that beautifully melodic section like the euphoric felling you get when high that transitions to that aggressive pounding beat of the need for more and the low of coming down. A beautifully arranged piece of music and a powerful message. Great to see you enjoying music and being open to new things. Us metalheads welcome any and all who are honest and good. Peace

    I think the reason it sounds "chopped" is because that's exactly how the riff is written. The end of every other bar is in 7/8, but it's not "written" in 7/8, Lars just kinda thought "hey wouldn't it be cool if we did this?"

It's the drug itself. I hope that helps you understand the song better. If you want to listen to the DEEPEST Metallica song ever, it's Bleeding Me. Hetfield is an amazing poet. Those lyrics are incredible. Others that I recommend are Unforgiven, One (based on a movie called Johnny Got His Gun), and if you want my favorite album of theirs, it's the original Symphony and Metallica recorded in 1999 with the San Francisco Orchestra.

My buddies and I picked it up from the music store, plugged it in the cassette deck and drove down to the beach listening to this on full blast while smoking many fat joints. I remember being totally blown away. This was their masterpiece album.

    I'll never forget hearing Enter Sandman as a 6 year old in 91 at the state fair. My body and soul felt it and my mother... Was like "well shit." Up until then I had listened to patsy cline, Johny cash, old school country. CCR was the closest to rock I had gotten. But that day, a metal head was born and my mother knew it. God bless her too lol because she never said anything about me blasting Megadeth, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Manson, Zombie growing up other than coming to my room to tell me it was bedtime haha.

    Another band that had a lot of longevity as Korn. That's an experience too. I've seen them in concert like 10 times. It's so loud the stadium shakes with everyone singing and bouncing. I saw them at the LA Galaxy stadium in LA and you could see the stadium jostle.

    It's called "Thrash"... and this may be the pinnacle of the genre. Based on speed, technical prowess and heart pumping riffs, Thrash is and was that other end of the spectrum of calm. Frantic and furious. Personally... kept me from lashing out.

      @@robberrie677 I'd usually advocate for an original release w/subtitled lyrics, and I do think the original version is a superior listen, but our man here is sharp enough to not be distracted by the additions to the video version - which I think has a more visceral impact by including the movie visuals and dialog added from which the song is inspired. At least so long as he knows the official release doesn't also have all the movie stuff. My $0.02 :)
