Metallica - Master Of Puppets | with lyrics

[Tophr72]

its about cocaine einstein ... dave mustaines era. He was the motivation for the song. Go home and listen to warrant or stryper and stay there

[ExtremeRulez13]

This is what I love the most about Metallica. Their songs have a very unique style in that the song either starts out heavy, drops to a n almost harmonious level and picks backup to the thrash part like this song or it starts slow and gradually gets faster and heavier throughout the song like One.

[DktorChoas]

damn fuckin right there's no dislikes

[mtndewman17]

PANCAKES I bet like a couple ppl know what i be talking bout

[VanquisherofMemories]

@mtndewman17 You mean when Cliff Burton told that guy that James said pancakes?

[MrRicky199]

JUSTIN BEIBER: god said i have a beautiful voice

METALLICA: NO I DIDNT

[Htiman420]

One of the best songs in history LONG LIVE METALLICA

[metallica24475]

Wow everyone seems to know this song but not many views on it.

???

[teenmetalfreak3]

@metallica24475 This is just one video. There's one that has over 30 mill

[TheCnJStudios]

most epic solo of all time

[teenmetalfreak3]

James said in an interview that he saw some "sick freaks" shooting up in SF and how it was controlling them instead of the other way around. And it made him sick so he wrote this song.

[maiden5666]

@teenmetalfreak3 it is about anything that controls somebody's life,alcohol,drugs,etc.,it becomes their MASTER,James had a serious alcohol problem in the "80's and 90's",and the song is more about him than anything else,he just did not realize it at the time.

[ninjagod1337]

This song is incredible fun to play, and it sounds so fucking brutal.

[jayp269112]

wow, 0 dislikes. i guess justin bieber hasnt been on lately. i fucking love this song. i have a huge system in my house and at 5 am everyone in my house wakes up to this song blaring lol. they dont like it to much but it gets me going in the morning. i figure if i have to wake up to go to work to support my family they can at least wake up at the same time as me

[Matteger23]

@TheMattTrivium Oh..... you sound very epic right there.

[northtexasfan419]

GREATEST FUCKING ALBUM EVER!!!

[ryancolemanstudios]

Best part is

0:00 - The rest of the album.

[smackie0522]

@BRAINROTAGE wow i thought that was obvious lol...derrrrr. not u derrr...everyone else derrrrrrrrrrrrr. ; )

[Stereotype23]

The most brilliant song in the history of the universe

[UristMcgee]

@BRAINROTAGE It's about time somebody said that. If you want to see dumb, look at the meaning of the song Sanatarium by Metallica on any song meaning website. You'll see a whole bunch of retards saying it's about war.

[banklikefrankwhite1]

@UristMcgee wondering what a song is about in most cases is stupid, but it's funny you mention that...i've seen some pretty creative things on there, most people just assume every song is about some girl or love, i guess they can't say that about metallica, so war is their next choice

[FlyingEwok3967]

@banklikefrankwhite1 Drugs and alcoholism, then mental instability, then war.

[BuTaMuHyC]

the best part was 3:34 - 5:07

[cmh96]

@BuTaMuHyC No its 0:00 - 8:50

[CADUMEGATALLICA]

END OF PASSION PLAY.

I love when james begin to sing

[SuperHalkooma]

hint: chop your breakfast on a mirror

[stryker415]

the best part is 0:00-8:50

[PivotWithCake]

lol this song is older than me

[IhearaHunter117]

@PivotWithCake lol same

[denzellskater]

I live on this song

[damissinglink100]

Master of puppets is about drugs as you can see.

End of passion play, crumbling away

I'm your source of self-destruction - End of your average every day normal life.

Veins that pump with fear, sudden dark is clear

Leading on your deaths construction - Your life gets darker every day and you get closer to death as your death constructs.

Taste me you will see

more is all you need

you're dedicated to

how I'm killing you - Usually a drug dealer suggests you should taste it nd more is all u need

[colourfulwithaU]

I assume "chop your breakfast on a mirror" has something to do with cocaine. If not, it is a nonsense line until someone explains it to me.

[sadqwf]

@colourfulwithaU songs about drugs, chopping your breakfast on a mirror, refers to lining up cocaine.

[yeild101]

drugs are bad..mkay

[metalHONDA400]

METALLICA!!!!! \m/

[MEGADETHEVA]

That laughter at the end is creepy :S well, who cares, amazing song and thx for the lyrics

[86damageinc]

Today you hear kids listening to some Disney crap or whatever. I'm 14 and I believe that the youth today should be listening to this. It's sad that they don't.

[sakalaka1337]

Don't do coke do coke instead.

(If you dont understand you´re on coke)

[SargonGuy]

Wicked ending.

[davidrock0]

metallica una chimba

[bulma12345678910]

@davidrock0 whatever that means its cool man!

[jonathannovaperez]

this song is actually about cocaine , not heroin . i read it . james said it too

[deadphoenix223]

@jonathannovaperez check out the "fix me" part from seattle 89. i think its about both.

;p

[Grunt56987]

correct me if i'm worng but i beleive James wrote this song becuase of his whole alcoholic phase, and the beer and stuff was really controlling how he acted andjust kinda of slowly ruining hislife. Thats why he went to rehab and stopped :) Andthat's also why the lyrics are what they are

[Blastboy95]

@Grunt56987 Maybe it even had to do something with Dave Mustaine's alcohalism... Who knows...

[OLO992]

@Blas No Chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Zeppelincaptain]

well I guess they we're surrounded by a lot of addictive substances at the time, but there's almost 20 years between this song and Hetfield's Rehab session. I think the song was just written about drug addiction in general.

[rainmanjones1969]

it was about coke, and written and recorded while james and lars were still were ON coke, the only downside comes when you get found out or run out or have a TIA , a temporary ischemic attack, which is a minor stroke, and james had one in 85, but he soldiered on .were you, like, 3 years old then? a coke addict is NEVER EVER drawn to try HEROIN EVERYTHING is better with COKE you just die faster? and make masterpiece speed metal music 24 yrs ago that will NEVER be equaled, NEVER!

[OLO992]

@Grunt56987 lol no "Chop your breakfast on a mirror!" doesn't that tell you something?

[thelordofthelegends]

lol thts rite dnt be scred be prepared

[elwood727]

Addiction.

[TheBadebido]

this song tells that when you take drugs you will want more and it will turn into your "master" so dont use drugs

[rainmanjones1969]

you got it....funny how james could articulate his meaning so well while he was coked up, yes, coke does enhance your minds ability to quickly express yourself [ i know firsthand about this] but it will 'speed my heart attack' [ armored saint 'chemical euphoria' on 'raising fear album...metal godliness is this one ]with coke and the like drugs, you are mortgageing your future for more fun NOW! everybody gotta choose for themselves, but id rather burn twice as bright for half as long dontdodrugs

[Keeavin]

"cut your breakfast on a mirror" that alone makes it obvious the song relates to cocaine, along with the other drugs that lyrics hint to. I think the song isn't just about drugs in general, but OD'ing on them

[JaviVSloquendos]

CHOP your breakfast on a mirror

[fukdover]

@Keeavin It's about James's alcohol problem as well.

[Racko94]

@Keeavin It's about drugs taking over your life, "obey your master, master, master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings" the drugs are the puppet master of your life, controlling what you do once you start them.

[Janovjev]

lol HerveGamerDude wrote the song is about drugs,he got 3 thumbs up+ mine,emperorLjas wrote :i think the song is about drugs,he got 7 thumbs down+my thumbs up...0_o yea,people of youtube are smmaaart

[HerveGamerDude]

the song is about drugs

[sakalaka1337]

So?

[HerveGamerDude]

*awesumness

[HerveGamerDude]

this riff makes my mind explode with aesumness

[ripdime13989]

amazing song

[PDS1990]

you know..

I think this ALMOST fits the 2008 rockumentary Call+Response. In fact, does anyone think I can remix this with 3 artists from the movie soundtrack?

[anipussirhc]

I lived this song for ten years

[mastuh00]

Army?

[EmperorLjas]

I think the song is about drugs.

[mannekepis123]

serious? xD

[EmperorLjas]

Definately. The "Taste me you will see

more is all you need

you're dedicated to

how I'm killing you" -part shows quite clearly that it's about something that's both addicting and dangerous, and the "chop your breakfast on a mirror" line doesn't really make sense if it's not about cocaine.

[metalheadcro1]

@mastuh00 this song is not about the army. it's about drugs and addiction.

[sephiroth611]

@mastuh00 That would be Disposable Heroes

[IhearaHunter117]

@mastuh00 Um, master of puppets is about heroin, not the army. lol

[NickAgueci]

@mastuh00 This song is not about war. Face-palm*

[BeastOfOlympus]

@NickAgueci Its about drug addiction no?

[NickAgueci]

@BeastOfOlympus Yes. Specifically I believe it's alcohol.

[Matteger23]

@NickAgueci no. its about Drug addiction. "chop your breakfast on a mirror" is a very good example.

[beamuth]

@mastuh00 im pretty sure he was more on crack cocaine than army ...

[rockerduff1231]

@mastuh00 army? you dumb fuck. this song is about drugs.

[junkerde]

@mastuh00 lol i find it funny you posted this up and dont even know wat the hell this song is about.

[coolduderonit]

@anipussirhc : THE BEST THRASH METAL SONG EVER !!!!

[ricey23]

i assume it means high quality sound as it is just a picture of the album

[mastuh00]

Of course! Mind not the idiots. By high quality, i mean that the audio is very high quality in comparrisson with all the other crap on youtube.

[ricey23]

yeah I've heard some shit quality versions on youtube all of yours sound so much clearer thanks mastuh00 \m/

[josh10894]

[rockfreakinsolid]

Killer tune - mine and Cliff Burton's fave! " ....laughing at my cries - FIX ME!!!!" Damned good tune. Thanks for posting it! - rockfreakinsolid ^_^
