Brad & Lex at it again (4 years ago) with Metallica MASTER OF PUPPETS.





Lex, bubbly, as always... Brad, still trying to figure out what it is all about.

I remember this as my first song that got me into Metallica... on a school bus, going to play another football game. Our quarterback popped into the seat next to me and asked me if I had ever heard of Metallica (it was 1984)..
I told him no.. he handed me his earphones to his Walkman and told me, "check this out".
I listened for a few seconds and took the headphones off, and told him I didn't like it.. it was too heavy. (I was pretty much only into Christian rock, at the time.)
He told me to keep listening.. since I also played guitar at the time, I ended up listening to the whole cassette... I was hooked.

I still blame him for getting me addicted to Metallica, lol.

[Spacetrucker]

I detest that entire album.

[RandallFlagg]

Master of Puppets hooked me in, too. But it was released in 1986, not ‘84.
These days if I want to listen to something heavy, Testament works quite well.
And, as I mentioned on the other thread, the soundtracks for the newer Doom games.

For me, it was Reign in Blood, then Master. After that, I went back and found Show No Mercy and Kill ‘Em All. To me, the best thrash album ever put out was Speak English or Die by S.O.D. I played the friggin’ tape till it wore out. Yes, I am the old guy with the white beard you see on the highway throwing up horns and going berserk in his car!!!

Lol.. 40 years ago.. close enough ;^D

I just remember the first time I was introduced to it on a yellow-dog bus, going to the football game.. (BTW, hope he is doing well.. I remember he had a small pack for diabetes..

I truly miss those days. (Back when we though we would never die...)

BTW, a couple of years later, I was introduced to "New Wave" when I got my first year in university.. adapted to Depeche Mode when CDs first came out....

I am a fan of a bluegrass band (Iron Horse) that did covers on Metallica. The Pickin’ on series was outstanding.
Iron Horse - Master Of Puppets (bluegrass style)

They also did an album on Modest Mouse, another of my favorites.
Float On - The Bluegrass Tribute to Modest Mouse

Music has always tamed this savage beast, lol.

I LOVE Iron Horse!
Lost my PC when I left Japan and came back to the states.. took me forever to find any downloads of them again..

All of their remakes (to bluegrass) are so good.

[MikelTackNailer]

A song so great it inspired a tagline.

[OftheOhio]

I had a co-worker decades ago that was in a metal band. He played organ. I introduced him to the Isao Tomita - Snowflakes Are Dancing album. He was a changed man after that, lol.

[OftheOhio]

lol.

[nonliberal]

The new Megadeth is good too.

[RandallFlagg]

I’ve heard some of it on YouTube.

Pretty good.

I used to have Colorado and Texas customized license plates on my vehicles when I was young:

MGADTH

Couldn’t get METLCA or MTLICA, though.
Probably because the state bosses thought it stood for, “Meatlicka,” or something else considered unacceptable for a personalized license plate.

I didn’t learn of Metallica until after their namesake album was being promoted on tour and finally began making waves on local radio.

It was right up my alley, but I cannot explain my infatuation - ‘hooked’ hardly describes it - with 1999’s S&M, because I have no background whatsoever with orchestral music.

Best album ever in my book.
