[@antoniocenteno1483]

@@RudyTheRockKing Actually half the song is Hamett´s, The main riff was written by Kirk wich to me is baffling how people just skip jump that big fact been arguably the other super well know Metallica Riff, the other been Sandman (also Kirk), he wrotte the Riff you played in the video (great work), he wrotte the clean interlude with Cliff´s help at around year 83´ (part of Burton´s credit in the song) and the first part of that melodic solo. Burton, other than the clean interlude along Kirk, wrotte the descending riff based on a song called "Andy Warhole" that comes after the outro of the second solo. James wrotte the other half thoug, the Intro Riff, the variation of the main Riff (though that´s not credited), the verse riff and the variation, the chorus, the second part of the interlude and the outro of the first solo... Master of puppets is a big gian ass song, isn it XD. Maybe i´m over extending with this comment right now, but i want to give a hint to spot Kirk´s riffs written for the band: *tritones* , yep, other than going to listen the riff tapes on the albums that just came available in recent years, the way to know what Kirk wrotte is focusing on tritones, in the book "Enter Night" Lars described how at the time of writting Puppets Kirk start giving a lot to the band and he focused a lot on playing tritones. Puppets Main riff and pre chorus, Heroes main riff, Eye of the Beholder main riff, Damage Inc main riff, Enter Sandman Main riff, Of Wolf and Man, and some others are all tritone based and all them where wrotte by Kirk, from the top of my head the only two tritone based riffs i know where written by someone else are Shortest straw by James and Blackend by Newsted (Wich makes a fun fact, Blackend, Beholder and Straw all share the same tritone but all where written by different members). K, now i´ll shut up. Great video.

@@RudyTheRockKing Was going to ask if you used a lot of album-specific IRs (following that one tutorial on YT) lol, they sound remarkably close! Great job!

[@RudyTheRockKing]

@@F1r3Foxxxy I do use IRs

I don’t Evan know why this vid has to exist. James, Kirk, Dave, cliff there all grate song writers. Also 90% sure sandman was James. I could be wrong.

[@RudyTheRockKing]

Sandman is 100% Kirk, with some help from Lars....This video is only for fun and because i love playing guitar and those riffs. There is no hate towards James and Metallica, that my fav band and he is my fav guitarist

[@rawr9154]

We need moar "riffs that James didn't write"

The guitar tone this guy has is incredible.

Thanks

[@elansleazebaganno]

IR's and an Explorer are the key. I don't even own an an Explorer but I can get pretty close to the RtL and Justice tones with just an IR plugin on Reaper

[@RudyTheRockKing]

@@elansleazebaganno true, i use Reaper with IRs , some EQ and its awesome

I think Dave can surely convince us that! Lol.

[@docteur6667]

Kirk wrote the "Die" - part in Creeping Death, not the intro. It was an old riff from Exodus. About Phantom Lord, it's true Mustaine wrote some parts, but the clean part was added after he left the band, so I think that was something James and Cliff made.
