Congratulations to WikiBrother Anderson Mendes for winning the soundtrack to the Metallica movie, "Through The Never"! Check out his response:
– Absolutely, Master Of Puppets. The song starts with a very heavy riff accompanied by equally heavy drums, and the thunderous bass of the master Cliff Burton, perfect for headbanging along to. The lyrics also convey incredible energy. Believe me, if you like the riff, you'll automatically find yourself singing along; it's almost a given.
The music maintains that heaviness through the choruses, until the band decides to take a "breather," if I may say so. A beautiful, light riff begins, only increasing in intensity and returning to the heaviness of a few minutes earlier. Anyone who has seen the live version of the song knows what it's like. That moment when thousands of people sing with one voice: "Master, master, where are the dreams that I've been after?" And so it continues until that same voice, once again, shouts: "Fix me!"
In this part, the great Kirk Hammett shows why he was called to the band. Since his time in Exodus, he has proven himself an excellent guitarist, with incredible solos and riffs, like the one in "Master Of Puppets." It's a solo that gets you excited and at the same time transmits unparalleled energy, both in the studio version and live.
Now, the song has to end, right? Only James and his evil laugh can close this work of art that is the track "Master Of Puppets."
