Master of Puppets

HELLO  ONCE AGAIN AUDIANCE!!!! how have you been since the last time we talked? your looking good! have you been working out?! alriight sosososoo, this week i named my blog after METALLICA's song Master of Puppets. where to start with this song...... well the intro of course! Master has the most famous opening chords in all of the rock world because of it! this song is my favorit song ever! sooo i guess i'll give some song facts because i know that much about it :3............ The "Master" of puppets is a reference to drugs. Throughout the song the "Master" controls you and your life. This is evident in lyrics like, "chop your breakfast on a mirror," "The Master Of Puppets is pulling your strings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams." Drugs is the Master while the drug user is the puppet. In the song James Hetfield plays the first solo during the slow instrumental part, Kirk Hammet plays the final, fast heavy solo. While playing the solo, Kirk pulled the top string off of the fretboard of the guitar (usually done by accident when someone bends the high string down instead of up) to make the really high siren-like sound. Everyone loved the way it sounded on the track so they kept it that way. At the end of the song you can hear a backwars playing guitar, and the bands echoed laughter. sooo now that i said that ill put some tabs in for you guys!
