Master of Puppets is voted the best Metallica album
The band's festival was named "Orion Festival" after the song, and also as a way to honor the late bassist Cliff Burton, who was largely responsible for its composition. The track was also played at the bassist's memorial shortly after his death and is the song that closes "Cliff 'Em All," a video produced by the band, also in tribute to Burton.
