I see what you mean, it must be hard to be present when the band reminisces about the “good times” that you werent a part of, but he’s probably a huge fan of the band either way. Not everyone gets to be in Metallica, i’m sure he’s ecstatic to be a part of the band!
Cliff's musical genius, Lars' composition genius, James' riff genius, and Kirk's face-ripping leads made Master of Puppets their best album. A true masterpiece.
Mrcloc....I dont have a particular Favorite.....But my favorites are all the Old School stuff. Im not a fan of St Anger or Hardwired at all....Load and ReLoad were Ehhh okay. But for me Kill em All, Ride the Lightning, Master, And Justice ,Black Album were all their best work hands down. Every time I hear Orion shivers just roll down my spine amd tears fly from my eyes!! R.I.P Cliff.... Old School METALLICA FOREVER!!! Im still a Die Hard METFUCKINALLICA Fan though....just not the new SHIT!! And Id still give my left Nut to meet and Play Seek and Destroy with them!!
Yea he had to have surgery on some discs in his neck and back. He talks about it on the Joe Rogan podcast. He mentions how important it is to keep good posture.
Writing this now beginning 2021, I wish that Flemming would step up and produce their new album and try to recreate/reimagine the magic they had. They need to make a colossal album, and not just satisfy with average good
They did an interview with David Fricke, a writer who was or is with Rolling stone. It's all about......And Justice for All. Hour and half long, worth watching if you have seen or heard anything about it.
It took me a few years to except MoP because I was such a Ciff fan and I couldn’t let go. I felt like they should not go on as Metallica. After the black album I decided to really listen to it and now it almost my favorite 😀. Kill’em is what changed my musical perspective, growing up on “old” hard/dark rock standards. At 12 hearing this was so disruptive, chaotic and amazing! I had an uncle that heard it and said “that is acid rock! Don’t listen to it”. I came back with “This is Metal!”
“Back when we had memories.” Haha. Still my favourite Metallica album. Still my favourite metal album. These things are often linked to the age you were and the impact you felt. Puppets was THE perfect album for me when it was released. Metallica had an air of mystique then that I loved to.
"everybody who was into that music was floored" .... no ... you dont understand. I wasnt even into metal or hard rock ... the FIRST Metallica song i heard was Disposable Heroes. ... i mean ... i didnt even play an instrument. I was 18 year old .... a friend put it on in his car, great system, up very load. AT the end of the song, i was floored. Who is this ? .. what record is this ? what song is this ? .... now .. i'm 50 ... i've been playing guitar for 32 years. The first song i learned to play on guitar in full was Fade to Black. That album is the reason i started playing guitar, metal, bass, ... and have been playing in metal bands now for 25 years. before them ... my guitar idol was Prince.
Fantastic testimonies and memories. Where the genius and crucial importance of Cliff to the sound is underlined and described. One of the best albums ever.
Proud of my Cliff tattoo that goes with my back sabbath first album font, jimi hendrix and Bob marley music tattoos back piece. My music heroes, so advanced with what they did respectively.
Yes Master of Puppets is a great album and I own it. It’s my first Metallica album. But, for me the first song I heard by Metallica was FWTBT. And then I heard RTL and I was in awe. And then I listened to the entire album and that is what saved me from rap, and pop music. And I love all the songs on the album it’s their best work to me and it was like my eyes were opened wide and I found HEAVY METAL. It’s just a masterpiece of art. And then Kill’ ‘em All, then it’s Master of puppets
And justice for all is still the best album theyve ever made. So fucking epic. Kill em all and Ride the Lightning is so metal and you can just feel that theyre all having so much fun. Master of puppets was surprisingly the least influential to me. Ajfa soooo greatly expresses the bands furious yet melancholy attitude towards the death of their best friend. Soooo damn good.
Alan Lloyd Its not a bad album, the songwriting was great on that album, the production sucks though, the bass is almost completely inaudible, which isn't good since the bass supports the drums and adds a low end to the guitars, the album just feels kind of empty to me
IAmTheTable As much as I agree with you, Metallica’s tone wasn’t too dependent on the low end of the bass. It at least sounded good, even without the bass, but the bass would’ve made it even better.
@@Salomon_G finally someone who shares same mind with me! honestly i have no idea why so many people dubbed both RTL and AJFA as their best album (yes, both are masterpiece but nowhere near MOP) MOP easily represents entire Metallica's catalogue. you got song opener with face-melting intro, iconic downpicking thrash song, heaviest and first detuning song, ballad, godly instrumental, and even Mustaine "inspired" riff song this album basically has no "filler" at all not to mention the production that even sounds ahead of its time what more can you ask?
"thanks for having me. I was selling long distance phone service going door to door" I admire the dude like totaly. He could just invent any other story out there but he graciously picks his very own, in a true paladin way, that's how I see the dude. And I used to hate this guy when he replaced Jason which was/is my all time favourite MetallicA person. Now I feel happy, after some time I can understand. And now I love'em both :)
Master of Puppets had rabies, man. One of the greatest albums ever written. I remember when it came out. I can remember being blown away by the psychotic randomness and the precision of it all. And wondering how they were able to communicate their ideas to each other and come up with that masterpiece.
Ride and Master had a very European sound if that makes any sense ... the recordings didn't sound like an American band made them. Flemming I am sure had a ton to do with that ... great video!
I think it would be hard these days. He would need to come to Metallica HQ from Denmark and be there for a loooooong time before Metallica had finished recording.
"HAMMETT: We were drinking at the Carlson house one night, and Lars turned on the tape deck: "Listen to this, man. Forstex Multitrack Mesa/Boogies with James playing the heaviest riff ever!" It was the main riff to "Master of Puppets", which had been quadrupled on all four tracks and sounded super heavy. And I knew it immediately as this joke riff that James would always play on the D string. He just dropped it down to the low E string and it was suddenly this whole other thing."
"HAMMETT I’ll tell you how the main [descending] riff to “Master of Puppets” came about. On the Ride the Lightning tour, James would always play the riff in the dressing room, but on the D string, and I’d play it simultaneously on the G string as a parallel-fourths harmony line. It sounded really dorky and funny. Then one day at rehearsal, James said, “Let me show you this really heavy song intro,” and proceeded to play that exact riff on the low E string. I said, “Ah, so you finally found a use for that dorky little thing!” It’s anything but dorky now."
I can’t tell if it’s just because Lars conducted this interview - but it’s an incredible bummer flipping between this high energy fun interview where all the band members (Rob included) were all so excited to talk about MOP... and then seeing the hour long David Fricke interview about AJFA where the room is completely dead and every member aside from Kirk look too annoyed to even be there.
I do like that in recent times, whenever metallica perform on high profile shows like this, Howard Stern, etc. they don't play that forgettable Load/Reload/St Anger garbage, they play their essential 80s stuff.
I really want Flemming to produce their next Album! Greg Fidelman did a great job on Hardwired, but Flemming is just THE Metallica producer in my opinion. He was the one who produced their best Albums, being Ride, Master and Justice. With Bob Rock, who did a phenomenal job on TBA, Load and Reload(and a horrible job on SA), Garage Days and S&M, their sound just got too soft and too much in the direction of the Bon Jovis, Mötley Crues etc. - extremely clean, great sounding from an engineering point of view, but also not unique, not original enough for Metallica. Puppets and Justice set new trends in relation to production/sound while TBA, one of the best sounding albums of all time in general(and definetely raised the bar in that regard), "just" had the best "clean radio"-production and sound. But when people talk about "another great"-Metallica record, they think of unique and original sounding Albums like Puppetz and Justice. Flemming produced them. With Flemming i also think they would get into the feeling and mood from their Ride/Puppetz/Justice days and combined with their knowledge and skills learned from 1991-2021, the result would be another masterpiece. So i think Flemming would be the one to produce another great Metallica Album, another masterpiece!
i'm happy.. for that... i have a guitar, as Kirk has it there, Jeff Buckley started on such one qua career, referring to discipline leveled videos of John, Omar, Flea, Stella, Josh, in basis, then i call it after my discipline area i follow in the things of King Crimson. : the guitarstrings are too loose fit. ahhhh F SH*T!!
Poor Rob lol...mad respect to him for being there and sitting through it lol
Hes a fan of puppets so hes probably enjoying this
I see what you mean, it must be hard to be present when the band reminisces about the “good times” that you werent a part of, but he’s probably a huge fan of the band either way. Not everyone gets to be in Metallica, i’m sure he’s ecstatic to be a part of the band!
@@robaquarian "Fan of puppets" kind of sounds like a jab at Metallica :)
I bet he has a ton of his own insane stories from when he wasn't the bass player of Metallica.
Must be hard. Millionaire gets to sit through a fanboy dream lol
God bless Rob, he looks kinda like a fanboy, he is enjoying listening to their stories, that’s great! ✌🏻👍🏻
he may be the longest running bass player, but those stories, could really be learning experiences for him, in how they came to be!!
Trujillo is a company man, remember that.
Cliff's musical genius, Lars' composition genius, James' riff genius, and Kirk's face-ripping leads made Master of Puppets their best album. A true masterpiece.
Mrcloc Just imagine if cliff was still alive when riding their forth album.
They respected and enjoyed Cliff's contributions so much that they decided to bury him in the mix. Okay...
Mrcloc it was a masterpiece but it doesn't get much better than kill em all
That's a fair opinion. My opinion is:
1. Master
2. Ride
3. Hardwired
4. Kill
5. Justice
6. Death
7. St
:) But very little between each.
Mrcloc....I dont have a particular Favorite.....But my favorites are all the Old School stuff. Im not a fan of St Anger or Hardwired at all....Load and ReLoad were Ehhh okay. But for me Kill em All, Ride the Lightning, Master, And Justice ,Black Album were all their best work hands down. Every time I hear Orion shivers just roll down my spine amd tears fly from my eyes!!

The way the guys talk about Cliff brings tears to my eyes. They all looked/look upto him so much, as a musician and just as a guy.
"I, I, I, I yeah"
~Kirk Hamlet 2017
I like the "hamlet" part and how it is completely intentional! :D :D :D
Kurt Hammock
Kirk Hamster
hahaha fantastic!
13:15
Fleming: "I'm a big Metallica fan"
Lars: "So am I"
I am not a Metallica fan but I think it's so cool that these guys are still playing music and still are friends well in their fifties.
james' posture is amazing
Yea he had to have surgery on some discs in his neck and back. He talks about it on the Joe Rogan podcast. He mentions how important it is to keep good posture.
Kirk is absolutely just an adult child, he is so emotionally charged every time you hear him talk. He is hilarious in an awkward way.
Gotta love him , he is a legend
This band knows how to stay current and alive. Always something new!!! Love them
Writing this now beginning 2021, I wish that Flemming would step up and produce their new album and try to recreate/reimagine the magic they had. They need to make a colossal album, and not just satisfy with average good
´... back when we still had memories.` ... sums it all up .
So fantastic to see Fleming Rasmussen. I LOVE his production on Lightning and Puppets.
Perfect for those albums.
Love these guys
Amazing... this is great. They should talk about each album like this. In this setting
It's probably cool for Rob to hear these stories directly from the guys who lived and created it
The guys talking about the bass part in Orion and Rob is nodding and like: "yeah man... bass..."
"Not a lot of bands were including the bass player that way"
Robert Trujillo speaking to the band the went on to release "And Justice for All", 2017
Lars is a really good interviewer, love it
oh how much I would give just to sit there and hear them talk and be in there presence
Rob: "I was selling long distance phone service, door to door".
This should have been 3 hours long!! Can you please do one of these for Kill em all, Ride and Justice??....pretty pleeeeaaase
They did an interview with David Fricke, a writer who was or is with Rolling stone. It's all about......And Justice for All. Hour and half long, worth watching if you have seen or heard anything about it.

Still my favourite Metallica album. Still my favourite metal album.
These things are often linked to the age you were and the impact you felt. Puppets was THE perfect album for me when it was released. Metallica had an air of mystique then that I loved to.

Love you guys. Love Rob. Love Cliff. Love Metallica. Thank you guys so much for inspiring me my whole life! Metal up your ass!!!
Man Kirk looks tired.. Old guys .. still rockin hard ❤
This is amazing! we need more of these. I just finished High School and they were my soundtrack the whole year haha love u guys.. big part of my life.
Kari C first time I saw them I was in 7th grade Feb 89 lol. Mind was blown
Great watch..
I don't know what they're talking about... Ride the Lightning and Kill em All were amazing and my favorite albums..
Proud of my Cliff tattoo that goes with my back sabbath first album font, jimi hendrix and Bob marley music tattoos back piece. My music heroes, so advanced with what they did respectively.

Lars is such an underrated interviewer, he asks very insightful questions.
This interview should have been way longer than what we got. It's still very good, but it deserves more attention.
And justice for all is still the best album theyve ever made. So fucking epic. Kill em all and Ride the Lightning is so metal and you can just feel that theyre all having so much fun. Master of puppets was surprisingly the least influential to me. Ajfa soooo greatly expresses the bands furious yet melancholy attitude towards the death of their best friend. Soooo damn good.

you got song opener with face-melting intro, iconic downpicking thrash song, heaviest and first detuning song, ballad, godly instrumental, and even Mustaine "inspired" riff song
this album basically has no "filler" at all
not to mention the production that even sounds ahead of its time
what more can you ask?
They all seem like cool guys. Which is refreshing
you know you are good when 30 years after your death your influence still hovers around one the biggest bands ever !
This is the day that the first metallica video I've ever watched was made. For whom the bell tolls (Live in antwerp 2017)
Must be tough being Rob, just sits there listening to their old stories old the time.
A longer interview of this would have been cool hahaha we definitely need more!
"thanks for having me. I was selling long distance phone service going door to door" I admire the dude like totaly.

13 minutes.. full interview ): i need more podcast type stuff from rockstars
God i wish they had video recorded the making of "Ride the lightning" and "Master of puppets" would be amazing to watch
Super cool I love hearing them talk about the old days especially what certain songs and albums mean to them decades later 🤘😎🤘
13:14 bring him back to do the next album. I would love that
You are the best greetings from the Italy >
Thank USA

the record that made mustaine shut his lousy mouth.
Lol
I dont know about that.... Peace Sells, could be seen as a VERY COMPARABLE EQUAL!!
Go listen to Peace Sells. Faster Thrashier and even Jazz and Better.
@@rohantiwari7801 its one of my favourite album.
Flemming Rasmussen is a legend, he recorded the best three albums of Metallica.
3:36 aww Kirk
James has the greatest posture in Metal 😂
I wish this was longer. Is there a longer unedited version out there?
Metallica is awesome!
Flemming wants so badly to produce their next record, you can tell.
Monnneyyyyyy
He should.
Thier best Co producer
Why not. They might actually make a good album for the first time in 30 years.
I think it would be hard these days. He would need to come to Metallica HQ from Denmark and be there for a loooooong time before Metallica had finished recording.
There's definitely some kind of effect on James voice at the very beginning. Some kind of lite phaser or flange.
I love the laughs of Kirk when Lars says "drugs"
Their really down to earth. Good guys
It think if Master has a such recognizible sound Is Also due to Flemming's talent
Hahahaha they all have bags under their eyes :) Kirk's nails are very cool!!
11:05 The t-shirt says 'STRYPER'. Now we know the true inspiration of MOP.

Grandiosas anecdotas! James está tomando "mate"? Una infusion tradicional de Argentina y Uruguay?!?!
Su esposa es argentina
My Nmbr 1 metal band
The beginning reminds me of the view from the LULU with Lou Reed album
Great album...great band....great production !
I can’t tell if it’s just because Lars conducted this interview - but it’s an incredible bummer flipping between this high energy fun interview where all the band members (Rob included) were all so excited to talk about MOP... and then seeing the hour long David Fricke interview about AJFA where the room is completely dead and every member aside from Kirk look too annoyed to even be there.

Oh, I love'em all
I want Rasmussen to produce their next album again
Did they reupload this? I saw this already
Is there anyway to watch the second part of this?
2:47 i know, i know, i know why he drinks so much mate, but i love to see him every time he does it hahaha
wait, why does he drink so much mate?
Effin' Rob is just the coolest dude! (along with Kirk)
This should help us compose great songs.
God bless.
So awesome!
Beautiful
Metallica=LEGIT
The best Thrash metal album. Hands down.

So i think Flemming would be the one to produce another great Metallica Album, another masterpiece!
Despite the lack of bass, I think AJFA is their best sounding album just mixing wise. Best guitar sound ever
Is there a full version of this?
Master of Puppets is like the Unknown Pleasures of heavy metal.
Before I found out that rock & roll Gandalf is Lars' Dad I thought he was how I pictured Flemming Rasmussen.
East middle los angeles
Where can i get the whole thing?
4:51 I don't know if this is a subtle reference to Kirk losing his phone...with apparently not good stuff in it..
Hahahaha the passive agressive comment.
Those seven people who disliked this are Dave Mustaine and the family!
Rob is a master don't get me wrong i really like him, but man i miss Jason. and Clif, may he rest in peace
Fun. I enjoyed that.
Cliff added a psychedelic edge. It would've been interesting to hear how things would've turned out had he not been killed.
Kirk looks so tired, poor dude. Mad respect to them all, Metallica is so cool. :)
does anyone know where to find the whole complete interview. ive tried everywhere online and cant find it. thanks!
James drinking mate, vamo argentina carajo!
Why does people keep commenting something about ...."James's Drinking Mate" what the hell are yall even talking about??
i'm happy.. for that... i have a guitar, as Kirk has it there, Jeff Buckley started on such one qua career, referring to discipline leveled videos of John, Omar, Flea, Stella, Josh, in basis, then i call it after my discipline area i follow in the things of King Crimson. : the guitarstrings are too loose fit. ahhhh F SH*T!!
I kinda feel for Robert because this was ALL way before him...
Stryper!! :)
James drinking MATE!
@The Ocelot im from Argentina! Like his wife, we drink Mate a lot too!!
