Another fun fact: The song "Battery" came to be because they were writing the song "Master of Puppets" and kept adding riffs to it. At one point, they had one more riff written for it, but decided that the song was already crammed with enough riffs, so they took it, and turned it into the main riff from "Battery".
I'm curious to know where you heard this.
@@kartikchandrasekhar2762 It’s been awhile but I think it’s in the book they put out about the making of Master of Puppets.
@@nothingislogical BACK TO THE FRONT? I have that book! I believe they had already written 'Battery', 'Disposable Heroes' and 'Sanitarium' (which had Orion's midpiece attached) before working on the title track.
@@kartikchandrasekhar2762 Then maybe I'm getting my facts mixed up or I read it elsewhere.
@@nothingislogical All good! I'm also going by the fact that they already had early demos of those three songs before writing the title track (I listened to the Deluxe release of the album a lot and they released riff tapes, demos, etc). Plus I listened to an interview with Lars and Cliff in 1985.
Thank god that comedy skit wasn’t there
Yeah, I never liked Bobcat. He might have ruined it for me!
I like Bobcat but it would have been completely the wrong vibe. Wouldn't have mattered what comedian they decided to use. Just a bad idea.
@@jsullivan2112 exactly
"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."
Sometimes I watch Fluff videos at 144p just for that vintage warmth. 🤣
That is very cvlt of you lol
Apocalyptica, playing Master of Puppets in background... Nice!
Fun (or not so to some due to current events) fact: Russian government-owned TV channel called "Culture" (which is about only arts in different forms without ads) definitely had a Metallica fan in the sound department, as they acquired the rights for Apocalyptica's first 3 albums back in 2001 and used them extensively here and there.
Besides the Orion bass part tattoo, I really didn't know about these fun facts at all. "Master of Puppets" will always be the prime example of a perfect song to me and a favorite irrevocably. I still have the very first note of the song as a notification tone for my phone. It brings a smile to my face that it's being implemented into mainstream media at all, and with such successful popularity
Cool format! I'd love to see more like this!
Your content is really interesting and varied, good job man, cheers!
I'm glad it's making a comeback, these songs were composed differently than most songs today. (Due to Cliff's classical influence) it'll be interesting to see how this evolves.
Listened to this album when it first came out. Within a week I was in my local record store picking up "Ride The Lightening" and "Kill 'em All". Been a fan ever since. Definitely a must have album. 🤘
I enjoy the backing music fluff.
Nicely done my friend.
I have been obsessed with Puppets since I heard it in 86. The effect it had on my 11 year old brain was massive. I'm stoked that you hit me with some stuff I didn't know. Cheers!
interesting information...Thx fluff
Cool facts man! Thanks!
Bonus mythbusting fact:
The Mesa slaving a Marshall thing ain't true. Fleming himself has said so in the Puppetz book and on his website. Says it was only for a couple of solos at most
You're contradicting yourself, but yeah, it's definitely not over the entire album.
Wasn't it the Black Album that was famous for the Mesa/Marshall tone though? Anything pre that was the MK III.
@@Syklonus It's MoP, it's been mentioned by both Het and Flemming. Ride was recorded on Marshall amps and cabs since that was the only choice in Sweet Silence Studio (:
@@Syklonus mk iic 👍
Awesome !!!
My favorite all time Metal album!!!
Man. That album is just an absolute punch in the genitals. After 30 years (I got into metal a littel late) it still has not lost its luster in any way. Master, and ...And Justice are hands down their best albums of that Classical-based thrash time of their career. Ride the LIghtning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justuce for All shoud be required reading with Kill 'em All as a suplimental/Extra credit. And don't let the haters fool you, the black album (self titled Metallica) is nothing to sleep on either. It may not be thrash, but it will do things to your ears that amek you feel like you need to take a shower. Of Wolf and Man, The God that Faied.... UGHHHH ::cheffs kiss::
Awesome video!!!
I did not know about these things! 😆 It is really great that the Stranger Things series has incorporated Metallica and brought younger audiences' attention to one of metal musics' greatest achievements! 👏👏
Back in middle school my teacher was a big Metal fan, I remember we watched the movie One Flew Over the Cucu's Nest. And i remember telling him that this movie is what inspired Welcome Home Sanitarium, he didn't believe me at all until he searched it up..
"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."
good stuff fluff
👍😎 i've been a fan since 1983
I love you found a picture of Kane Robert's bicep vein for the studio shot.
One day I was listening Master of Puppetts on my Hi-Fi stereo (yeah, the ‘90s…!) at very high volume. When the interlude section kicked in, my mom (not metal mom at all) entered the room. I was expecting her to tell me to bring down the volume, but she only said “what a beautiful music” and then went away.
Did anyone else watch Stranger Things and geek out when they saw the Kahler Tremolo on that BC Rich Warlock? The production level in this show is great!
You're right. I didn't know any of that. 10/10 would recommend
Very interesting!
I did not know about that Bobcat comedic sketch. I learned something new!
Nice trivia, I've listened to metallica for the past 30 years and didn't know this.
I've fallen way off the 'Tallica wagon but MOP and RTL are still timeless classics I love to listen to every now and then. Something so powerful about those records. Lightning had this muscular sound, and Puppets was so tight and scooped and vicious sounding.
MoP is an inferior clone, and half of it is fluff and other crap!
The possibility exists, that the same Snare Drum was used on Def Leppard's Pyromania and Master of Puppets. At the time, both Metallica and Def Leppard were under the management stable of Q Prime...and Lars borrowed the snare drum from Rick Allen.
Fun Fact #6: Starting in 1989, I taught myself to play guitar using the official Master of Puppets tablature book while listening to the album on cassette tape...it was a long, tedious journey but I eventually prevailed!
Melking that stranger thing hype. I respect that.
i've loved metallica for 20 years and MoP is one of my all time favorite albums....i did not know a single one of these facts!
Bruh...I only knew one of these. You rock!
The song masters was tracked in a strange way, the band tuned down and played it slower then when being mixed was sped up to what it sounds like on the album
intro and Outro were longer than the content but it was fun, I surely didn't know those things.
I heard a rumor the way they got one of the guitar tones on this album was, they put their guitar through a flanger, but a flanger that could have the rate at ZERO, so you don't know it's a flanger, but it gave it a unique tone that way. not sure if this is true though.
I saw Metallica open for Ozzy summer of 86. When ST let loose on that episode I rocked (internally and emotionally) so hard.
I did not know the bit about the comedy sketch. That is crazy to think that would be how they'd open the album if they had their way back then
You were right the first time, he was in Police Academy 2, which came out the year before the record.
Cool
What about the fact that they record the full album tuned to A438 and a little slower to purposely speed it up after the fact to get a faster and tighter feel over all for the album?
Fact Number 6: the greatest player name I’ve seen in multi-player video games is Pastor of Muppets.
didnt expect this from you...
I would like to know your opinion on the guitar tone here. For me this is kind of the ultimate guitar tone.
I never heard about the Bobcat comedy skit. But I knew about the others.
I'd love to hear the skit bobcat would've done
I wonder if the comedy sketch would have made the music seem darker by comparison. Suspense and horror movies have comedic moments to make everything else seem heavier or scarier, so would the same concept have worked here?
Is it true that master of puppets song was recorded down-tuned at a slower tempo and the tape was sped up after?
Man, I bet some serious research went into this one! 🤣🙄
I once used a urinal next to Flemming Rasmussen. We did not speak.
HAHAHAHA
I don’t know, that’s not a bass line, or even on a bass clef. I’m driving, I’ll have to check back later, maybe it’s just the same notes. That line on the tattoo has some pretty high notes 🤘🏻🔥🎸
Any one know what skit they were going to use? If it was funny enough for them to consider the idea to use it I'd like to see it.
Ok, I had never heard the fact about the comedy sketch opener. Im trying to think what kind of tone it would have been? The only "funny" bit in any Metallica release that I can remember is the "Mommy, Where's Fluffy?" part at the end of Breadfan. I wonder is this is their follow through to that idea?
The open E at the beginning of Sanitarium is the piano maybe mixed with guitar I'm not 100% sure.
It’s true
Boy, Bobcat's gonna be pissed when he finds out you slaughtered his last name. ;)
Knew all that except the comedy skit one. You got me there-honestly that sounds like a myth. Can anyone confirm?
What about the rumor that it was recorded with downtuned guitars at a slower speed, then sped up to get the guitars in tune to normal?
Gold-thwAte
Master of bobcats
Gold-Th-Way-T
I didn’t know that at the top of Sanitarium there is a Piano note E until I saw the documentary on MOP. I think Lars mentions it. Not sure I can really hear the piano though.
It generates "vibration" in the overtones, easy to hear knowing where to find it.
First note of every pass of the opening harmonics, mixed with clean guitar playing the same note. You can hear how percussive it is compared to same note played on clean guitar
I’m torn. I’m glad this album is getting g the recognition it still deserves…. But I simultaneously feel like if some bs about it shows up in my news feed again, I’m gonna pop.
It’s Goldthwait, not Goldwaith. Good stuff tho. You are correct…I did not know these things.
Agreed no gatekeeping from me.. more people liking Metallica is good
the high water mark for Metallica
There's MUCH MORE :)
Fact #7 JH is the greatest riff master on this planet earth
Everybody is trying to cash in on stranger things.
I feel like the Bobcat part was just drunkenly mentioned while shooting the shit around that time. How often did you actually accomplish those kind of drunken goals when you and your friends were hammered? As soon as the possiblity of instant gratification was taken off the table, all your brilliant schemes and quests were quickly forgotten about, and you were on to the next one. Likely, this was said as a goof, and everyone latched onto it, like, "yeah, we gotta get Bobcat, man, that'd be rad!", and someone said it would cost too much, so they just forgot about it, and got busy making arguably the best thrash album of all time. But I wasn't there, so this is speculation of course! 🤔✌️🤟🤘🖖👍☝️✊
Knew everything mentioned here except for the comedy sketch.
Me too-my guess is the sketch bit is a myth.
#6 It was originally written by The Carpenters…
Fun fact: Seinfeld does not care for Goldthwait at all
The biggest gut punch to me was finding out that Master of Puppets was recorded to slower tape and then sped up. I’m not bothered by it now but I do have my suspicions that they used this technique elsewhere, and on Justice.
They did a few times, for tone sake most of the times. They often used some weird techniques. Another tape technique at the end of Master, and the intro to blackened uses reversed recording of guitars.
Pancakes.
Pastor of Muppets?
A little late to the bandwagon eh? I didn't know all 5, so all good 😊
Great tips! I am sorry to be a troublemaker but that comedian's name is pronounced "Gold-THwait" it is hard to say but you know.... I am a pain in the a$$
If we don’t know you personally, are we allowed to call you “Fluff”???
Everybody’s milking Stranger Things these days, huh?
Fuck yes
Fact 6: 21/32 because Lars is secretly a Prog-god
I've seen comedians open for bands in the past. The audiences were always brutal to them. They were up there trying their best to go through their routines, while the audiences were swearing at them, screaming for them to get off of the stage -while demanding to see the band. Sometimes they just stopped their jokes and walked off stage. That left a void with nothing happening until the band came out at their scheduled time slot. I don't know why a comic would ever want to book a gig opening for a rock band.
Thank god Stranger Things came along and resurrected Metallica. They sure need the money.
They surely don’t. They have plenty of money
@@MrMOGHammer Dude, really? Look up the word "sarcasm".
Metallica is the best
It should have been Lars
Wow, glad they didn't include some cringey, dated 80s comedy on such a timeless masterpiece.
Wasn’t cringey in the 80s when master of puppet released
My last year of college, this song (album) came out. Ya'll are so late (thanks Stranger Things)
Master of Puppets is great, but it would have been metal AF if Eddie had played Raining Blood.
Raining would not have fitted the scene. In ST season 5 it’s all about Vecna the ultimate puppet master, he controls everything in the underside and from it the real world. Raining blood would have been great as a metal song but there is no connection in the lyrics about that or anything in the show
On the first two albums the songs were good but man, the mixing was awful, like someone in their right mind actually sat down listened to that mix and said "well that sounds good"? 😂
It doesn’t matter … Nothing else Matters destroyed their whole entire catalogue….it’s the Neil diamond song of metal … and for that I can never forgive them
Way to jump on a bandwagon!
Clickbait. Non relevant to the music. James Hetfield ate honey nut Cheerios before recording Master of Puppets title track 🙄
