    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.

    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.

    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
    @mikeabendroth8337 Před 11 měsíci +20

    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 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.

      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.

    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.

    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 creates this frenetic start-and-stop sound which reflects the subject matter perfectly. Metallica really were on another level in the 80s

    @rodb9275 Před rokem +16

    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)

    I think it’s really cool seeing people who aren’t necessarily familiar with heavy music not only listening to it and seeing their reactions, but also getting it, understanding it and realizing and experiencing the different emotions. To some it’s just noise and screaming but when someone actually tries to take it all in and tries to feel the music, it’s kinda magical, I think it reminds us metal heads how we felt the first time we experienced a song and kinda brings it all back, it’s nostalgic and it’s really cool.
    Your daughter is beautiful, good on ya man, family makes life worth living!
    If you’re looking for something else to check out I’d highly suggest Pantera, seems like some other people have recommended them also. The first Pantera song I ever heard was Revolution Is My Name and I can remember it like it was yesterday, that one moment literally changed me and over time that band influenced me and had a significant and positive impact on my life. Another Pantera song I’d also highly recommend is Domination live in Russia, it really shows the power and influence those guys had and it kinda makes me giddy. Best of luck to ya man, god bless and rock on!

    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

    That moment with your daughter was the best part of this video, my man. Love to see it. As far as the song, the "puppet master" as you called it, is not a person or a government. 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. Melodically, it's the best version of Metallica. I highly recommend it. Great reaction video! I'm looking forward to more.
