The Battery is the reciprocal energy between the band and the fans, or the music. It has a double meaning as being the name of the street, Battery, where they played early shows.

[@jeremyp.6883]

Whenever I pass by Battery Street in San Francisco it never fails to make me smile. They should put statues of the guys along the street & name the benches after them. :)

This album is considered one of the five best metal albums of all time. I was 15 in 1986. I am not exaggerating when I say this album was everywhere. It helped Metallica land the opening gig for Ozzy that year. And remember, this was still at a time when radio stations would not play them, and they had made no videos for MTV. And yet still people knew about this album. That's how good it was.

My favorite song on Master Of Puppet is Orion. It's an instrumental wrote by Cliff Burton and arranged by Lars Ulrich. This song is mostly like a metal version of a symphony. It passes trough the ears and go straight to the soul. Plus the level of technicity on the bass guitar is simply awsome. I recomend this one to you. Orion.

To be honest. 1) MOP is not a thrash album. 2) James Hetfield himself said that Metallica never was a thrash metal band.

My 3rd concert ever, 1986 in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena. Metallica opening up for Ozzy and I believe this was the first song they played that night. Being only 13 and getting absolutely annihilated in the pit and loving every moment. Little did I know that I would never get to see Cliff Burton play again. Fantastic and haunting memories. \m/\m/

They came on stage and I wasn’t really paying attention. My friends and I were doing what you do while waiting for the band you want to see come on. ( puff puff pass 😉) then they played this song and I immediately was paying attention and was blown away. I’ve been a fan ever since.

You absolutely must check out the live version from Seattle 89. Out of all the live Metallica songs the 89 version of this is mandatory to appreciate metal atmosphere back in that year.

[@Ninkyo893]

[@scottreynolds9902]

This is my favorite Metallica song. This is also my favorite Metallica album. Perfect from start to finish. They end the album on another super aggressive song " Damage Inc". The lyrics..."Pounding out aggression, turns into obsession" sums up Metallica perfectly. They play this even faster and more angry in their live in Seattle 1989 show. That concert is the epitome of the power of a Metallica concert. And yes the Battery is the energy created between the band and the crowd.Cannot kill the battery.. BATTERY! Fuckin BAT-TERY! Check out the Seattle performance. You will get it.

[@XR694]

Reference to Battery street in San Francisco where clubs were where they used to play. Family refers to the metal crowd that used to go to the clubs.

[@seanscott]

this song is an homage/tribute to old waldorf located at 444 battery street in downtown san francsico which was a big player for the thrash metal scene in the early days of thrash. hence the name of the song "battery". "cannot kill the family, battery is found in me" is a statement that while society at large doesn't/didn't understand the scene, those within it (i.e. "the family") will fiercely defend it as a show of solidarity against the glam scene that was popular in the Los Angeles area.

And NOW, Kiddo...now you see why us old grey haired grizzled Gen X Bastards wax so reminiscent about growing up in the 80s. This album was my first concert ever. Cliff Burton was friends with my best buddy's dad in Castro Valley, CA. I lived a town south in Hayward, CA. EPICENTER for this Thrash shizz. Little did I know at the time that the buddy of my Bro's dad that hooked us uo with free tickets to the show across the Bay was, in fact, the Bass Player himself. This would be the only concert I'd see him play. He was dead a few months later in a tour bus wreck in Europe. But THIS energy is what being a teenager in the 80s was ALL about. My son just turned 27 (born in 1996) so that should properly place me in the hierarchy of old-ness...but this was the Summer after the one where Marty McFly went Back To The Future, and it was THIS summer that (under the leadership of President Ronnie Ray-Gun) Maverick and Goose felt the NEED...the NEED...fer SPEED!!! Kenny Loggins' music fit well into that movie, but make NO mistake youngster...THIS shit RIGHT HERE...THIS was THE SOUNDTRACK to my Summer Vacation ... before heading to Junior High (where we got a lot more than "Junior" High....we got RIPPED ass HiiiiiighAsAMufukka. I bought a cassette tape out of the back of a Cadillac that summer in the parking lot of Tennyson High School. Some local rap dude. Homie wasn't all that tall, tho.

[@jamescorey3516]

Battery is in reference to Assault and Battery. The way the lyrics are is that it is pure energy and power. They also added Can't kill the family 👪 because they don't want to encourage domestic abuse, obviously, that's not the intent of the song. You'd want to protect your family. Me personally, I find it a get workout and training exercise song that will boost your energy more so than any energy drink or chocolate/coffee.

[@sumonjamal1653]

James Hetfield of Metallica said, "A battery works at both positive and negative (ends), and we work pretty well at the negative..." 🌩 Metallica said their fanbase back in 1985/ '86 (before they got big) felt like a 'family'... and nobody had seen crowds react the way they to thrash metal at the inception... the moshing, the pits, the actual injuries at concerts... Bands like them, Megadeth. Exodus, Slayer, Anthrax... just wanted to make a lot of noise and the reaction to their music was not anticipated even by the bands. I think 'Battery' refers to themselves as a source of power and energy to the fans... They keep the metal madness going at full speed. If u go to see Metallica now, the crowds are rather tame... a lot of pop and rock fans who stand around are Metallica fans nowadays. So don't expect that past mayhem anymore. Slayer would have insane crowds at their shows until they ended... Pantera doing shows next year will be nuts as well... Thankfully, we have older bands like Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Overkill, Kreator, etc. that still bring in young people and they always tear it up in concert 🤘🤘🔥🔥Slipknot and Machine Head also bring out the madness... 'Master of puppets' is still the top song on this record... 'Leper Messiah' is the other fave of mine... The instrumental 'Orion' is brilliant.

[@timpossible181]

You talked about the lunacy of a Metallica concert. I've been twice, and it actually might not be what you'd expect. Yes, there is a mosh pit, but it's usually pretty isolated and/or short-lived. James (the frontman), when he's talking to the audience, often refers to the "Metallica family," and that's no joke. Waiting in line for the concert and spending the day with other super friendly fans was an experience in and of itself. A group of complete and total strangers sat down, ordered pizzas to the line, and just chilled for hours. It was a great time.
