What's your unusual angle to look at Master of Puppets? Timecode for those в теме 4:12

[@dannytheguitarwarrior]

I like to say that Master is the perfect definition of metallica, it has Thrash, Ballads, Instrumental, and Heavy AF songs

[@SviatoslavKaverin]

From the eyes of a puppet.

[@escalexx4957]

I've heard, that solo before the bass solo, in the clean interlude after harmony was played by James, but don't think so, because his solos are always great and on point, master of puppets, tp live is to die, nothing else matters - damn masterpieces in soloing. So i think it must be Kirk, but internet tells bout james cause he's likely leave a solo in instrumantal. Idk, just my opinion

[@JohnnieVega20]

I look it as a blueprint for the future Metallica Songs and Albums. New harmonies, ballads, Lyrics. It was similar to its previous two Albums but also very much new.

Orion is the reason why I fell in love with Metallica's music. RIP Cliff. And yeah, I wanted to go into more detail into the use of the wah pedal and distortion used on bass.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

those are another mystery

[@BigFatCaulk]

it’s amazing how it would be semi clean and then when he pushes the wah down it sounds super distorted, it’s amazing i wish i could figure it out on guitar

[@ImYourOverlord]

@@BigFatCaulk The Morley pedal he used, Morley Power Boost (and this might be how wah pedals overall work), lets the highs through when you press it one way, and the lows when you press it the other way. So, you alternate between a high pass and a low pass filter. Overdrive and distortion effects are usually more apparent to the ear in the higher frequencies, so when pushed to the highs, it might sound more gritty/dirty, as opposed to the lows. Eventually, I'll get the same pedal he used and experiment with it, myself.

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

on sanitarium the bridge really reminds me of the “die” riff on creeping death so, i think that’s hammett’s contribution.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

On the other hand, it could have come from the fast riff, since they share the 0-2 move. Then both Kirks? It’s possible

[@gianluccamontechiari7662]

@@AndriyVasylenko Maybe he got the credit for that riff for the same reason that Cliff got credits for the guitar harmony in "Ride the lightning" he took the melody sung by Lars and transformed in a guitar harmony while Kirk took the fast riff from "Sanatarium" and transformed the riff in that bridge, both were writen by another member of the band and later transformed into something else.

[@HeavyMetalLukex]

I agree, I can totally imagine him writing that riff. Perhaps he had written just the power chord progression and the 0-2 was added by James whilst replaying it later, a bit like how they modified the tail of the chorus riff in Master - which was also Kirk's like said in the video

[@peterwaynelegend]

I never noticed the resemblance of thingy bad MOP, that's very interesting, and I would say that MOP is the perfect Thrash Metal Album, can't believe it turns 35 tomorrow What a great video Andriy, thank you for everything!

I am 51 and from the Bay Area. I saw Metallica for the first time in November 1983 @ The Berkeley Keystone (20 minutes away from my house). I was 14. I could post so many stories it would crash the page. Check out the book/movie “Murder in the Front Row” instead, that was our scene 😈

[@AndriyVasylenko]

We would love to hear your stories too! )

[@emanuelrodriguez1088]

I have no question, but a curious thing the 1st time I heard of this album in my cassete tape (1997-1998) when I was a young kid (9-10 years old). After the “Master...Master... Master” I thought the song had finished; then the clean parts of guitars would be a new song, or the 3rd song of the album. It was always a curious thing to me (I didn’t understand anything about english, lyrics, nothing), but besides that, I falled in love with this album until this day. Maybe it is my favorite album, the album I grew up listening to in my cassette player in my house. I say it is maybe my fav album, but after I discoveref RTL and AJFA and... you know, I cannot decide for these 3.

[@beunjoris]

I'm so incredibly happy you still make videos dude

[@morgellon9449]

A couple days ago I watched an interview Gibson guitars did with Cliff's father and he talked about Cliff showing him and his wife Orion prior to Master of Puppets. "Hey, we can waltz to this!" I loved that.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Cliff was really excited when the boys started working on what’s to be Orion )) seems like those harmonies initially were something Cliff kept to himself

[@beunjoris]

Video idea: Make the perfect/favourite Metallica album using 1 track from each position in an albums tracklist. For example: 1. Blackened 2. Master of Puppets 3. FWTBT ... ... 13. Fixxxer 14. The Outlaw Torn

[@mihneazoican2479]

The 14th is always going to be Outlaw Torn lol. It’s fine, it’s an amazing song 😂

[@reevesyboy5581]

For me it’s: 1. Fight Fire with Fire 2. Master of Puppets 3. Motorbreath 4. Fade to Black 5. Disposable Heroes 6. Whiplash 7. Orion 8. To Live is to Die 9. Dyers Eve 10. God that Failed 11. My Friend of Misery 12. Spit Out the Bone 13. Fixxxer 14. The Outlaw Torn

[@samanthaadams619]

Mine would be: 1. Battery 2. Four Horsemen 3. For Whom the Bell Tolls 4. Jump In the Fire 5. Shortest Straw 6. Leper Messiah 7. Creeping Death 8. Call of Ktulu 9. Dyers Eve 10. Metal Militia

[@emem2756]

[@AlphaStormMusic]

7:38 Actually, I think the chorus makes the most sense. I did have a reason for this, but upon reading into it deeper myself, it actually didn't make much sense, but I think it just fits Kirk's riffing style really well. Plus, it's the ONLY riff in the song that sounds the way it does. The rest of the riffs make sense as James' compositions, he's good at arpeggios, fast chugging, and open almost flying sections. I bet that the version of the Chorus riff in James' riff tapes is probably a variation on what Kirk wrote. Or at least one of them is.

[@AndriyVasylenko]

Yeah, most share this assumption. And the riff ending is similar to the original Master prechorus riff from Kirk tapes

[@RoB_Idfk]

That Disposable Heroes riff is killer !🤘🏻

[@terryberkshire5504]

The bass intro to The God That Failed, even though not credited to Cliff, I believe was a Burton contribution. I say this because even after Mustaine’s firing he and Cliff remained fairly close. The bass intro to Dawn Patrol by Megadeth from a year earlier Has nearly the same bass line. Because there were no legal issues in 1991 and neither band made mention of the similarities, in my mind it had to be something Cliff worked on with Mustaine, possibly before Mustsine’s firing, making it Cliff’s last contribution to MetallicA, or his first to Megadeth... your thoughts?

The progess of James between 1982 and 1985 is huge. In everything: tightness, composition, stage presence, vocals... Willing to always improve, big ambition without ego, and freaking working your ass off - that’s how he’s become the greatest, yet so likable

I don’t think that Kirk composed the riff from Master which you compared to the thing that should not be, because that riff appears on James‘ riff demos. Also Kirk said in the Gibson Interview that he wrote the pre chorus and the verse riff for Master, although the latter was modified. And to welcome home: the chorus riff sounds like it could be Kirk‘s, because his riffs usually have more different notes and movement than James‘

[@phantomlord067]

The bridge riff from Sanitarium has always reminded me of one of the riffs from Tom Sawyer. Rush is directly thanked by Metallica in Master’s liner notes, so I don’t think this is a coincidence. That being said, I guess whoever was the bigger Rush fan wrote the bridge riff lol
