Angry mother's in the 80s: "it's Satanic!!!"
The accused satanists: "don't do drugs", "war is bad", "suicide is sad" "justice system needs work" , "build love on trust" ... 🤘😂
lmao I love the way you worded that, because it's absolutely true of their content.
Older people think that any song that is loud and has angry sounding guitars and fast heavy drums is satanic.
I don't agree that's what the lyrics were saying though. "don't do drugs" wasn't really an anti-drug message. It's kindof like the way gangbangers can often in two sentence say how horrible their lifestyle is and then brag about the latest crime they committed. They're not really reformed; they just don't like the consequences of their actions. "war is bad" yea, back in the 80s anti-war was a regular theme because they didn't like Ronald Reagan and his conservative politics. RR was fighting against the spread of communism, which was responsible for the murder of 50MM-100MM JUST in USSR alone! War these days has become so corrupt it doesn't resemble what it was back then. Metal bands tended to be extremely leftist politically because their lyrics were universally permeated with that ideology. "suicide is sad" i don't condemn a song like Fade To Black just because it dives into the depths of sadness, apathy, and depression. Those are real things. Grief is a real thing. But it's like Christians used to say about heavy metal back then: "when do the lyrics ever offer any solutions?" It's true that the lyrics were always negative and destructive. They never said, here is what must be done to correct the problem. They just said, you see here? Life sucks. So go do drugs. Having said all that, I would agree that many superstitious boomers could only hear loud screaming and anger but never could be bothered to read the lyrics.
@@marksmith4892 I'm not going to argue over whether your multiple paragraphs are a more full synopsis than my 3 words. 😌😂
"...and justice for all"
The slower interlude in the middle is symbolizing the euphoria experienced after taking drugs and the slow return to the dark heavy chugging shows that the pleasure is only temporary. Also the laughter at the end shows that the drug will always have the last laugh once it becomes your master. Still can’t get my head around how this song was written by a group of drunk headbanging guys in their 20s
age is just a number i guess
Nailed it.
Sam is dead on. But back in the day our priests told us this was the devil music. To bad they never listened to the words and music.
They definitely did coke as well as drinking lol. Lots ppl drink heavily while taking that.
@@symphonyinkart Never heard any of them talk about coke, Cliff liked his weed though.
I am a Christian as well and I appreciate your perspective. This is an anti drug song. Metallica is not an evil band.
Some would argue with them doing a cover of "am I evil" which showed up originally on "kill 'em all" or at least one version of that album. It later showed up on "garage days"
@@willbarnz6960 If you still think in 2021 that Metal is evil, then you really need to get yourself checked out. Maybe I'm misreading your comment...
@@Randomeris1
Not saying the genre is, or what bands are, or are not, or what bands play with the image of or not.
Just sayin' there are still those that will call things they dislike or don't understand, evil. Sometimes to the point of grasping at straws to do so. Many times they are wrong because they don't want to know the truth.
Me, I like the energy of metal... and have for many years.
@@willbarnz6960 Well considering that "Am I Evil" was a Diamond Head cover. That would exclude Metallica from the meaning of the song. They were paying tribute to one of their main influential bands. Of course when I was high school in '90 getting into Metal. I thought it was cool for the shock and lyrical content. Of course the music and solos were absolutely incredible!
This song is actually sadly ironic though not the hard drugs referenced in the song. This could be seen as James himself fighting with his alcoholism
The more I listen to metal, death metal etc. the more I realize that modern pop music is real devil's music.
Cardi B: exists
People: METAL IS EVIL
Lol true
Very true. Pop and rap gets bad evil. Country music heading that way too
its all Satanic. I mean this band has 666 on their "black" album. and the 666 is a snake??? how much in plain sight can they put it.
@@miltontohd6448 I love The Black Album actually I like all albums of Metallica well st anger is my least favorite album
The greatest kids don't do drugs song out there
but I love listening to this on drugs!! 🤔😋
@@deminybs 😄🤣😂😆
This entire album is such a masterpiece. The fact that it's written by 20-22 year-olds still blows my mind. You should give it a listen from start to finish.
try in the nightside eclipse a master piece of black metal written by 17 year olds.
ps cliff was the oldest in the band sadly didn't make it till the end of the tour. RIP.
@@craignicklin4573 black metal
and alot of master of puppets all the way to And justice for all parts were written by Dave Mustaine and never credited to him. like this song.
As a recovering addict. This song always hits so close to home. Addiction is a hell that I wouldn't wish upon anyone
From the factual book of facts.
Keep on keeping on dude!
im 15 and i feel u bro
Addiction is hell. I'm never going back to it.
Me too. Stay focused on what’s good for you.
Agreed! It is a hell that we created of our own doing. And I wish a thousand times a day, that I would've never taken that first pill. I would NOT wish this on anyone..
"Chop your breakfast on a mirror" is the main clue that the master is drugs. Any child of the 80's knows you cut lines of cocaine on a mirror. Even if you've never seen cocaine in real life you've seen that in movies.
no no no no no
@@anderschristensen4072 Yes yes yes yes.
The lyrics in the song give it away.
@@Ranganation byt james say no its not just drugs. if you dont get that sorry for you
Why do they do that though?
One of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded. Masterpiece song from a masterpiece album. Never ages. Perfection.
Absolutely!
Masterpiece album - definitely agree with that!
Master of Albums fo sho. Just turned 35yo this week!
Indeed.... I’ve listened to it in some shape or form every week since it came out. My favorite album of all time.
Amen Darth! This song, off this album, was my introduction to Metallica as a teen around '88-'89 and to this day in my opinion, was the bands opus album. When Cliff Burton died the whole equilibrium of the band changed and was never the same again... Really makes me wonder what the band could have achieved if Cliff was still here today.
This song is about addiction. The beginning is about the craving, the breakdown is the "drunk" or "high" and the ending is the "hangover" or "burn out".
Very interesting.
The ending is the pain from withdrawal
@@CudMcCuddles you dont know metallica ha ha your funny,but so wrong
@@anderschristensen4072 The song is about Drug addiction. Metallica have said it themselves and why do we need to know the band personally to know they said that?
Are you aware of the amount of interviews they have done throughout the years?
@@Ranganation you dont know metallica i can hear so stop your self...
There’s a reason this album is vaulted in the Library of Congress. It’s a masterpiece in thrash metal and has some of the most meaningful lyrics ever written, along with fantastic composing done by Cliff Burton
orion. best heavy bass line
I'm learning alot of songs off Master of Puppets on guitar and Orion and Master of Puppets are two I just finished up learning. My brother learned Leper Messiah for fits and giggles and he hates Televangelists with a burning passion.
@@johnathanedwards9054 ha ha...i have just finish master on bass fingerplug puhhh very hard.now on orion an i play the first 5.30min. for now,then comes another riff and im can get it and im still having some problem whit second riff,the end off it is triky
@@anderschristensen4072 Keep practicing and you'll get it.
@@johnathanedwards9054 my bass is akustik,i think i can play faster,if i had my elektiic bass. but yes,i will keep practicing
I remember interviews , from back in the 80's , with James and Lars where they say the message isn't strictly about drugs . Rather it's about anything that we allow to control our lives in a negative way .
thank you...one more that knows the song. now we are 3....other 500,its an anti drug song. there think the know metallica but not
Addiction
True, but the breakfast on the mirror line is def referring to drugs
there are kinds of addiction. not just drugs
2:26 “I love the vintage vibe.”
God, I feel freaking old after hearing that.
Saw them open for Ozzy for this album when I was 14. 🔥🤘
@@HookahBarBusiness I saw them during Monsters of Rock tour at the L.A. Coliseum when I was 15. Will never forget seeing the avalanche of people breaking down the barriers separating the upper floors from the pit when they started.
@@handsomerube damn you guys are lucky😭
My dad was 20 when this album came out. He'd feel so old to hear that lmao
@PaSioNDaRReLL Puppets came out when I was going on 12. I am 46 now. lol
James Hetfield was raised in a Christian Scientist household and has a lot of misgivings about that particular segment of Christianity.
I believe they knew this already
@@Sully2001 Yep, they reviewed a black album song before this.
@@toxsin2207 was coming to say something similar....”Christian Science” isn’t Christian at all
@@iamtheking9418 Pastor Rob called it a cult when they reacted to The God That Failed.
@R T it’s a cult based on the teachings in a book by a lady named Mary Baker Eddy. It’s really a new age metaphysical spirituality movement. She based some of her thoughts on Biblical passages but takes great liberty in adding her own flair for the immortality of the soul, and all kinds of crap that is extra-biblical. She hijacked the name “Christian” Science to bring people interested in Christianity into the fold. She’s a false prophet
First and second verses: drugs talking to the man.
Slow interlude: man is high and euphoric
Hard interlude: man is coming down off the high.
Third verse: man yelling at the drug for "promising only lies"
Guitar solo: man going crazy looking for his next fix
Final verse: drugs have the final word
this. this is the comment I was looking for. perfectly phrased, thank you brother
@@LuGer212 you're welcome and Merry Christmas!
I've listened to this song for years now and only now I realize how powerful the line "Hell is worth all that" is, considering is the first lyric they hit you with after the melodic interlude. Like all the misery that comes with addiction is worth it just as long as you get to have that little moment of beauty. I know I've been there.
You just blew my mind.
Chasing that high !! Every once in awhile you get that good between all the bad ones.
This song is about drug addiction and its done very well.
Yes it is
Yup
+1
Addictions of all kinds really
Agreed
We need a disposable hero’s lyrical breakdown from you guys!!
Disposable Hereo’s, easily one of the greatest songs Metallica’s ever written!!
it’s my favorite in this album
YES please, the best of the album
I think that has their sickest riffs ever, tbh. That and Phantom Lord lol
Can I just say on Disposable Heroes: the line “barking of machine gun fire” - I thought when I was 13/14 he was saying “fucking a machine goodbye” haha
"Having a really funny memory that I can't say here"
Everyone: DO tell 👀
No need. If one can't imagine, one should be happy not to have the memory. Cheers, some stories are probably better untold 😉✌
"hell is worth all that" means:
addiction is a living hell, but you keep going back to it, because it seems worth it when the cravings hit.
The whole Master Of Puppets album is kind a concept album, in the sense that every song has different parts of life and society that people can become "puppets" to. Whether it's war, drugs, false religions etc.... The crosses on the album cover represent the grave of dead soldiers. Usually they have crosses like that. Arlington National Cemetary for instance.
Good point and damage inc. could be like a puppet to violence and anger
@@shaboobatv2949 same as Battery
We don’t deserve Metallica honestly
WSB represent!
cemetery*
My old band used to cover this song but we called it "pastor of Muppets"
🤣😬
Hahahaha
This song nails the whole drug/addiction life perfectly, both lyrically and musically. At first, it's peaceful and bliss and then it chaos where it starts to crumble and ultimately becomes a nightmare. Pretty soon all joy is gone and you're living to use and using to live until you're emotionally, spiritually, and morally bankrupt. Master is the addiction itself which makes you want something to help you not have to feel the hatred for yourself. Drugs are just a vehicle for the addiction to get you. Could be anything, my hell was from drinking and drugging for a couple decades. Been clean 15 years now and feel blessed to make it out alive, many of my friends didn't. There but for the Grace of God go I.
The album is about addiction and war. The cover art is depicting a cemetery in France dedicated to WWII soldiers.
are you from a planet where the tell lies about metallica. shit man
@@anderschristensen4072 what are you talking about?
@@cydrych its about addiction of all kind of shit not just drug but also gambling and so on. the warsong is disposable heroes. have nice day
@@anderschristensen4072 you just said exactly what I said.
@@cydrych yes i see that now. sorry you where right from the start...i did not read it correct.im not that good at english,i shoud have looket at it 2times to get it....sorry i was to fast to comment
The way this song is structured...around a person's addiction to drugs and getting that hit and then jonesing for more is superb. Takes you through the whole story from start to inevitable finish.
I love that you guys did this song especially because the 35th anniversary was just a few days ago
Yes and the last album with Cliff...#rip
Crazy that this year marks Metallicas 40th anniversary
if you want to see the biggest crowd ever at a concert look up Metallica in Moscow 1991 Enter Sandman
1.6 million people see what that looks like
I’d suggest creeping death from that concert the die die breakdown is so epic
@@Ghost_2366 domination the greatest breakdown in history
Now they gotta do disposable heroes, that should solve the crosses issue
Just some thoughts on the structure, timbre, and performance, and how they convey the themes communicated by the lyrics.
The music starts off fast-paced and distorted, like a desperate addict about to get their next fix. As the song continues, there's a calming instrumental with clean guitars and a mellow drum beat backing up a soothing melody that seems to portray the euphoric high the druggie goes through before the music turns dark, distorted, and agitated as the first frantic solo plays, giving a sense of mania and panic as the druggie becomes desperate for his next trip even as he "comes crawling faster!"
For the bridge, the rhythm is slow (by comparison with the main riff), heavy, and seems to indicate anger and desperation at the druggie's plight as he realises that the drugs promise only lies, while he is helpless to resist them - indeed, it seems as though the drugs, or perhaps his chemical/psychological dependency on drugs is indifferent to his desperation and misery, ("laughter! Laughter! All I hear is this laughter! Laughter! Laughter! Laughing at my cries!)
The ending fade further cements addiction as a malevolent force hell-bent on destroying the addict's life, coupled with maniacal and evil laughter, alluding to the bridge.
Overall, Master of Puppets serves as a dire warning against the dangers of addiction and the abuse of addictive substances, and does so in a way that mimics the panic, mania, and desperation felt by addicts every time they come down from their high, thus giving audiences a sense of what drug addiction is truly like, and SHOWING rather than simply yelling the dangers of addiction.
Great breakdown of the song!
Best explanation , I have ever read !!!
I was going to respond but that sums it up very well.
Did you really just use the term "druggie"??
@@psychotropictraveler514 Slang for drug addict. Are you really offended by that?
Gauge should really listen to more of Metallica’s first 3 studio albums. They’re considered their best work to date for a reason.
The first 4 albums is pretty much all I listen to with Metallica
And the first 3 Metallica records are also Megadeth's first 3 albums. Dave Mustain is all over those first 3 Metallica Albums.
@@medarby3066 really just the first two. I love Dave mustaine. But I don’t think any or much of his writing is in master of puppets
@@kennethstephens8046 Mustain claims he co wrote Leeper messiah.
@@medarby3066 Megadeth’s first three albums lmao
James stated that it's a general idea. Everyone can interpret it in their own way. Most frequent interpretation about Master of Puppets is addiction. Imo, it's about addiction in general. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, etc. A lot of stuffs. Any kind of addictions and how it affects us. Even being a zealous religious person is an addiction, imo. It promotes a lot of stuffs like unnecessary hate, misinformation that makes you blind, prejudice, and so on.
I pray that James Hetfield and the rest of Metallica will happen to catch your channel. A lot of metal bands think that Christians are against them. If they only knew how Many Christians love their music. Thank you for your insights. The peace of Christ be with you. 🙏🏼
This is a musical piece of genius. They way the music and lyrics blend together to tell a story is unparalleled. The music fits so well in regards to the addiction and the story, it is just brilliant.
“Wow I got a little goosebumps there.” That is Kirk Hammett perfectly summed up in one sentence.
Keep it up guys. Love seeing y'all's videos. It really makes me listen to any music I hear a deeper listening.
Can’t say enough about you guys. Love what your doing, keep it up
🙌🙏
Funny thing to me , that came out in 1986 and that year I was at the indianapolis 500 and seen some people doing coke off a small mirror , Metallica was a huge musical influence for me , I accepted Jesus in 1998 but still get fired up listening to the old albums , especially when working out .
why work out. have jesus not made you ok.
@The Senate not my body
I think you would like "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica.
Oh i'v been waiting so long for this reaction
Im tuned in brody! Keep the heat coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've struggled with addiction my whole life. Sadly, it's a struggle that never ends no matter how aware you become of how destructive giving in to said addiction can be. Luckily I have songs like this I can listen to whenever those urges get really strong, and they tend to straighten me out. The physical urge is always there, but it helps the mental urge subside for the night, and honestly, all an addict has to do is make it to the next morning.
The echo and reverb on his voice makes it such an ambient song/album
Pastor Rob, you are the Man! Absolutely love the way you break everything down. Always on point always a great response! God Bless you Brother!
Love your reaction and analysis Pastor Rob. Cheers from Malaysia!
My first Metallica album I ever purchased. Jaw was open in AHHH, the whole album. That was when I graduated from Van Halen to Metallica, and they became my favorite. Then Megadeth.
About the cross, used for controlling the puppets, well, puppets are controlled by that design for the control piece. That's just a normal puppet device.
The part where the clean guitars come in with the melody over top is supposed to represent the "high" that you get from whatever you're addicted to.
I appreciate you chopping the video up into chapters
Again, very enjoyable reaction and discussion. Thank you. :)
its not just a song about drugs its all things that can control you...metallicas words
I’m someone who’s on the way to become a pastor, my late dad was a pastor but we’re kind of free to listen to anything so i love metallica.. this is very interesting, thank you so much for this video 🙏 ++sub
I love this reaction and discussion. I appreciate you and I pray that the Lord continues to anoint your ministry as he uses you as a vessel to lead people to the cross. God bless you.
Glad to see you guys on my feed
When the lyrics says" hell is worth all that" he is talking about
the drug withdrawal
Megadeth suggestions:
“Looking Down the Cross”
“The Conjuring”
“Bad Omen”
“Five Magics”
“She-Wolf”
“Prince of Darkness”
“Never Walk Alone...”
“Deadly Nightshade”
“Dystopia”
All of Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction. Their best albums. Can't change my mind on that.
@@seanoconnor5730 agreed. I think these songs have the most meat on the bone for Pastor Rob tho
Pastor Rob thank you for understanding what this song is about. Metallica in their early days had bad addiction problems. This song is all about that. I love that you and your son can listen to a song and actually hear what it’s about. God bless you!!! Keep doing what y’all do.
wow, i always took this song for granted. yall helped me see how deep it gets. this is an awesome song
I LOVE this songs message as someone who's cousin abused Heroin I can relate, (This song is an anti-drug song as what drugs do to you and how they kill you)
"Hell is worth all that
Natural habitat"
I believe is referring to the physical, psychological, and emotional hell that is drug addiction.
no
I love the channel guys, keep it up. It's refreshing to see thoughtful, like minded people. I hope once this world has run it's course we can meet in the afterlife. 😎
You guys hit the nail square on the head with this analysis.
I just came down to the comments to answer your question about what relationship the clean interlude has with the rest of the song.
My interpretation is, since this is a song about drug abuse, the middle part is what happens when you consume the drug. That's the feeling of the "high."
You should react to Sweating Bullets by Megadeth! Dave Mustane was actually raised catholic and so a lot of his music is biblically inspired.
Especially his later albums....World Needs a Hero, 13, United Abominations...great albums.
Sure i read somewhere or atleast came across someone saying that Mustaine and Dave Ellefson are born again Christians now.
@@brians9954 Mustaine for sure really is
@@brians9954 Ellefson is a Pastor
MegaDave™ was raised Jehovah's Witness, and has been born again for many years.
see my interpretation of the Album Cover was the govt as the puppet master. the cross graves representing soldiers graves and the puppet master being the govt sending them to die. I also gained that impression due to possibly my fav song on this album “Disposable Heroes”
I love your perspective on this
God bless you guys! Excellent content!
Would love to see an analysis of Spiritual Healing by Death. Great work guys!
I hope two can react to Disposable Heroes. Both Rob and Gauge nailed the cover art, it applies to both addiction and war. Disposable Heroes will show the war aspect of the album.
Got to see them throughout their trip many times and they never disappoint. Deeper than most give them credit. Thanks
Hey, thank you guys the Master vid. very ,very cool. I've been thinking and knowing what the Puppets song was about since 1986 very encouraging to hear your thoughts both. GB
Don’t forget to do some Alice in chains, man in the box and bleed the freak please. Thanks so much for this video
Yes they should do those and God Am (because that’s another religion based song by AIC).
I'm here to request to Gojira - Art of Dying.
Its a really interesting band with even more interesting song lyrics.
EDIT: Also, if you really wanna dive into Medageth, I really recommend Symphony of Destruction
That’s the beauty of metal music, the lyrics can be taken in so many different ways subjective to whose listening and their life experiences.
Thank you, I heard the song millions of times and thought I knew it thoroughly but you put it in a slightly different light.
Metallica are the kings not only of transition but letting their music describe the effects of drugs through the tempo changes.
Megadeth
Peace Sells
Symphony of Destruction
Trust
Sweating bullets
My Darkest Hour
When (this is one of my guilty pleasure songs after a break up)
I really enjoy your analysis and discussion, you have a depth and understanding that is missing in most other UA-cam reactions. The ability you have to draw both upon your faith and experience really sets you apart. I wish more Christians understood the subtle evangelising that you practice here, as the 'in your face', confrontational style that is largely popular has much the opposite to the desired effect amongst many of us.
Great work guys! Im not sure why but all I can focus on is how great your relationship is with each other.
🥲
Literally everyone I knew that went to their concerts here in India back in the days had all been to a certain degree addicted to marijuana. It only goes to show how little we knew what was being sung about. Great analysis Pastor Rob. I definitely need to re-visit some good old Metallica. Discernment is so critical.
As a fellow believer and a Metallica fan, you sir earned a sub. My dad (who is a pastor) and I have this talk a lot and how God uses people to convey their gifts he gives to tell a story and Metallica does that well. Glad we aren’t the only ones thinking this way
James mentioned that the lyrics are about addiction in general, and some of the associated ways to feed addictions, along with emotional states that are increasingly surrounded by doubt, fear, and uncertainty. I also watched an interview where they mused on how the song structure is kind of setup so the opening section up to the breakdown is reflective of coming to the realization that you are an addict and think about breaking free. The soft breakdown in the middle is when you give in to the addiction and feel the initial "sweet release", but then as you come down from the high and reality sets in, emotions start to run wild, along comes doubt and fear and the sensation that you might be losing control... and then the solo ends and you transition back to the opening riffs, which is essentially a reflection of the rollercoaster that is addiction.
I enjoy your approach to reaction videos very much Pastor (and his son - lol)...I must admit this is my first time watching a video on your Channel, I love METALLICA along with most, if not ALL of the bands/music from the 80s. Personally, that's about all I care to listen to to this very day...
To you, I say, "Amen, Brothers. Take care, God Bless you in your efforts to keep up the excellent work!" I'll be back...
The solo starts slow then feeds up faster and heavier just like drugs. Starts off slow then it starts to kick in then your mind gets going faster and faster until the high is over.
The album cover is based on the song “Disposable Heroes”. Correct.
The theme of the album is power.
In Dutch the word for addiction is literally the same as enslaving ("verslaving"). I've always loved that because it expresses so much about what addiction is.
Musically, the soft bridge is the high...the peace. Then it intensifies as the hunger intensifies. The lyrics between verses are that point where the addict starts realizing something is wrong. "Where's the dreams I've been after?" "Fix me!" This is where you hear addicts swearing to change their ways. In the clarity between high and craving. Then, of course, the cravings come back, and the music changes again before the last verse. It isn't just the lyrics, but also the music telling the story.
I think you should react to The Beast and the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold. Love what you guys do! GOD BLESS YOU!
*plays the first three notes*
Two Rocking Grannies: what is this, a crossover episode
you guys should totally make a podcast! how are you guys not having a podcast?? perfect setup too
This song is PURE MUSICAL GENIUS. So melodic yet so heavy at the same time.
Metallica peaked a long time ago. This was released the year I was born and was one of my introductory Metal albums. Brilliant lyrics and instrumentals throughout. Even though I'm a Christian now it's hard not to relate to most of this album. I know all too well the dangers of addiction, and the black hole of false pseudo-Christian teaching. This album hit all the right nerves, and still does. Hope you and your family are doing well, Pastor.
What’s some good examples of places I can find to avoid false pseudo-Christian teachings? Any good UA-cam channels you know of?
Metallica is passed their prime but the still manage to produce better music 90% of the rest of the Garbage out there
Wow, like Gage (sorry if misspelled) I hadn't really listened past the first verse, and was wondering if the master of puppets was THE master of puppets, fallen human nature and the "god of this world", but after listening to the second verse, yes, it's addiction.
I think skillet or kutless need to put the proverb to music to, so metal.
"Never ending maze, drift on numbered days" Is a fantastic line, probably the best line in the song.
YEAH, You got all the thoughts of the cover art exactly right. Good stuff. peace
Yeah, that middle is where you pull out the lighter. And the spoon, and the needle, and the dope. Lol
Song suggestion: “What it’s like” by Everlast. Thought provoking lyrics. Or for a Christian metal band “Titheme” by Sleeping Giant.
When I was younger I never realized how perfectly crafted this song was. How the beginning was like looking for a fix the middle was dreamy like they got the fix and then the come down and rage before going for another fix. Metallica are geniuses
Very insightful, thank you guys! This song is a masterpiece from a great album. After hearing that you guys weren’t too familiar with it all, I’d love to see your guy’s reaction to the song Orion off the same album. Might throw Pastor Rob a curveball when it comes to lyrical interpretation 😂
Just a side note: Trivium covered this song years ago, and it might be the greatest Metallica cover of all time. As a metal fan, I have to have respect for Metallica because they paved the way to making metal "mainstream" of sorts, but I love Trivium.
Metallica's Master of Puppets has become the classical music of the now and next generation 35 years old and still so strong.
Respect on this video as an addict in parallel recovery. Its a battle. Some words spoken is true. In any context. Its a life to struggle and overcome. I have done it countless times. The master always calls. Whether u want if or not. How u respond is what matters.
Disposable Heroes, Orion, Back to the Front, Sanitrium, and Battery are my faves on this one. Such a great album.
