- This is a rare interview with Lars
Ulrich and Cliff Burton about recording Master of Puppets. This interview was released
on picture disc in the mid '80s and according to the number
printed on one side of the record there were only 2,500 pressed and some of
those may not have survived all those decades. It's insightful
because they explain what inspired them to write the songs, how
they approached pre-production and who was originally supposed
to produce Master of Puppets (Geddy Lee). There are references to One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rambo, Mutt Lang and of course H.P.
Lovecraft. I've looked for this interview on the internet for years
but I was never able to find it. The picture disc itself is one of
my most prized possessions because not only is it a rare interview,
the record sleeve is also autographed by the members of Metallica
including Cliff Burton! The audio clips slightly in some places
because of it's transfer to cassette and I made an effort to show
pictures of the band and their records from around that time (some from a little before)
that you don't see everyday. I'm assuming the interview was conducted
in Denmark although I can at least narrow it down to being somewhere
in Scandinavia judging from the interviewer's accent. Actually I think it was conducted there at Sweet Silence Studios. A lot of the
questions from the interviewer were edited out for the sake of saving
time on the record but you can figure out what the questions were
based on Lars' and Cliff's answers. So here it is, a rare interview of
Lars & Cliff about recording Master of Puppets from around '85-'86!
Hearing Cliff speak so deeply about his passions are absolutely mind blowing
I know right?? It blew my mind to hear Cliff talk about how much he liked Ed King in a separate interview also!
I love hearing Cliff describing The Thing That Should Not Be...one of Metallicas best and surprisingly underrated tracks 👾
It's really something, Lightning and Puppets both have that vibe because they were recorded in Denmark with Cliff. Funny story, there's controversy surrounding Thing about tuning of the guitars. I still say, other than Cliff Metallica didn't tune their guitars down 'til the Black Album.
It's actually my favorite metallica song too.
7:11 Cliff lights up.
This is amazing, love hearing Cliff talk Lovecraft etc. Thanks for uploading.
I think its funny because the way they describe how they do the songs and the fact there was no pressure from the label to do anything other than give them 8 songs. I honestly believe the black album and load and even st anger were all the same. They did what they wanted to do it had nothing to do with the label telling them anything or trying to do what others wanted. They wanted to be the biggest band in the world from very early on and they wanted to do it their way and that is exactly what they did. They never sold out in any decade. People who say so or say their stylistic changes would never happen with cliff still around those people honestly don't have a clue what they're talking about. Cliffs influence has alot to do with them going in a different direction. He had the broadest musical taste of all the members including classical music so I'm not sure why everyone thinks cliff was a thrash only guy that "would never allow them to do load" it's just stupid.
have you ever tried a grilled shrimp taco? in my opinion, there's nothing better. especially with sauteed tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. basically if you have all the same stuff with fajitas, except substitute beef or chicken with grilled shrimp. know what i'm saying?
I agree - Burton opened their minds to different genres and he 100% spearheaded Metallica to explore areas in metal that their peers were too scared (or unable) to do.
I just feel Burton would have been been disgusted by the antics - particularly in the Load era, up until Hetfield went to rehab. It’s hard to say, because you just never know how someone’s personality evolves, especially when success and money is thrown into the mix. Who knows?
But I agree- I don’t think Metallica ever sold out either. I firmly believe they always did what they wanted to do. And they still do.
I wish Metallica would have waited till they were older to make load and reload . A few more albums similar to mop or the black album would have been cool. I love death Magnetic and hard wired is just ok. I agree with everything you said too.
Legit cliff was the one who liked Sanitarium and the harmony section in Orion and Fade to blacks mellow composure which is one of there best songs, his favourite band was also pink floyd :)
4:30 ''Less works more'' True.
The Thing That Should Not Be is definitely the sequel to For Whom the Bell Tolls.
@Shaquile O'atmeal because of it's track placement on the album and the slower feel of the song. Nothing lyrically.
@@TheBatrachian two man
@@TheBatrachian no it’s the sequel to the call of ktulu, and dream no more is the sequel to the thing that should not be
@@emmit4259 Like I said ^^^ I'm referring to track placement on the album and you've gotta remember The Call of Ktulu is an instrumental, the other two tracks aren't.
God Lars doesn’t shut up
He's always been like that however I think that's the most I've heard Cliff speak.
Gabe Luna there’s a few one on one interviews with cliff that go on for a while i don’t know if they’re still up or not though.
Yeah I've heard 'em & for the most part he was drunk, of course but not in this one.
@@TheBatrachian ruclips.net/video/GaQZp1olS_g/видео.html I also liked this one with an interview specifically with cliff
Yeah Lars is known for talking shit lol
This is golden my man thanks for the upload.
No problem man. I've had this on limited edition vinyl for over 20 years and I noticed nobody else has it online anywhere!
Interview has lars, thumbnail has kirk😂
I don't know who you think you're laughing at fool. Nobody else even has this interview online. Don't forget Cliff is part of the interview too!
@@TheBatrachian hey lol idk why u got defensive. I was laughing at the thumbnail not u
Dayum son. You really need help on puppets & justice. It's no joke.
@@TheBatrachian just gonna call cap there there are clips from this in the metallica hypnotising power of master of puppets ( yes i know i cant spell thank you)
@Riptide is that video or audio only? Never heard of it. Thanks.
"Less works more" - Lars Ulrich
7:12 are they being interviewed in a tunnel? xD
Do you have the complete interview? Is there anywhere where they talk about Orion or Damage Inc?
Take a shot every time Lars says Ktulu
Lol 😆 yeah really! Seems like Motorbreath was written about Lars in particular. I feel lucky I found this whole interview on vinyl though.
@@TheBatrachian amazing find for sure
And the plastic sleeve was autographed by the band including Cliff Burton!!! Woah 😳
Is the "Thing That Should Not Be" one of their first songs in drop tuning? In C I think.
Actually James and Kirk played 5ths on that track so no downtuned guitars till the black album. Pretty sure Cliff only dropped to D. The rest is the way they play it.
It's in D standard
I was hoping to hear more from Cliff, of course Lars could not shut up once in a while.
Great STUFF
Ive heard parts of this before. And I have always thought that the song was based on Cthulu (Ktulu). Learn something new everyday lol. Or maybe I can call this my mandela affect? 🤔.....😁Nahhh!!
Cliff Bars ,, in your F a C E's 👶🎤🙏👶🎤🙏👹🎤🙏🖼️🎼🩸👨👩👦👦
Views all metallica jejeje
Wo in spaniol de finger under grettinngs so
?
Shut up Lars lol. James cliff and Kirk composed the music.u just went bum tss.
Lars had a lot more to do with the arrangement of the songs than you think.
@@stedmangg he is just a successful businessman. That's it.
@@shred9475 And arranged James' and Kirk's riffs in ways that formed complete songs. Lars came up with the melodic intro to Ride the Lightning by humming it. Listen to James' demo tapes for Dyers Eve, before Lars's input. He's more than "just a businessman," that's what people who don't know better like to say.
@@stedmangg he hummed one time lol. It is a well known fact that Lars knows jack shit about music and that he just got lucky by co founding the band and being James best friend. Oh and they were going to fire him in 86 before cliff's death but decided against it when cliff died.
@@shred9475 Sure, you can downplay him, but you could downplay anyone that way. You could also say "Kirk did nothing but write a couple riffs and steal Dave's solos." There's just no denying Metallica would be where they are or write the songs they've written if it weren't for Lars. I'd advise you to do some more research into what he's contributed to the band than keep repeating what your friends told you 20 years ago.
