      @@RudyTheRockKing Actually half the song is Hamett´s, The main riff was written by Kirk wich to me is baffling how people just skip jump that big fact been arguably the other super well know Metallica Riff, the other been Sandman (also Kirk), he wrotte the Riff you played in the video (great work), he wrotte the clean interlude with Cliff´s help at around year 83´ (part of Burton´s credit in the song) and the first part of that melodic solo. Burton, other than the clean interlude along Kirk, wrotte the descending riff based on a song called "Andy Warhole" that comes after the outro of the second solo. James wrotte the other half thoug, the Intro Riff, the variation of the main Riff (though that´s not credited), the verse riff and the variation, the chorus, the second part of the interlude and the outro of the first solo... Master of puppets is a big gian ass song, isn it XD.
      Maybe i´m over extending with this comment right now, but i want to give a hint to spot Kirk´s riffs written for the band: *tritones* , yep, other than going to listen the riff tapes on the albums that just came available in recent years, the way to know what Kirk wrotte is focusing on tritones, in the book "Enter Night" Lars described how at the time of writting Puppets Kirk start giving a lot to the band and he focused a lot on playing tritones. Puppets Main riff and pre chorus, Heroes main riff, Eye of the Beholder main riff, Damage Inc main riff, Enter Sandman Main riff, Of Wolf and Man, and some others are all tritone based and all them where wrotte by Kirk, from the top of my head the only two tritone based riffs i know where written by someone else are Shortest straw by James and Blackend by Newsted (Wich makes a fun fact, Blackend, Beholder and Straw all share the same tritone but all where written by different members).
      K, now i´ll shut up. Great video.

      On Metallica's first demo, No Life 'Til Leather the song is there as The Mechanics. Mustaine just adapted what he wrote and changed the song title. A video surfaced some time ago of James reacting badly when Lars suggests they play Horsemen, it's a tuning room video
