In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Master of Puppets – whose title track recently topped Gibson.com’s Top 50 Metal Songs of All Time – Noisecreep.com asked some of metal’s heaviest hitters to weigh in on Metallica’s classic LP. Members of Testament, Sepultura and Kreator (among others) shared their feeling and memories of the album.
Alex Skolnick (guitarist, Testament): “I remember buying the cassette at Rasputin’s [record store] in Berkeley, then listening to it in someone’s car. We’d all been waiting for it to come out, and weren’t sure what we thought of the title yet – ‘Puppets? Why puppets?’ But as soon as it came on, all doubts were quickly cast aside. It was a metal masterpiece.”
Andreas Kisser (guitarist, Sepultura): “I was with a female friend of mine who loved metal and had the access to get imported albums. She came to my house one day with Master of Puppets under her arm. I heard it and was in complete shock. I remember the first song I liked was ‘Welcome Home (Sanitarium).’ This was in 1986 and it was a privilege for a Brazilian to hear that album in those days.”
Mille Petrozza (vocalist/guitarist, Kreator): “It was at home, at my parents’ house. It was a first-day buy for me. I still like it to this day, but I think apart from Kill ’Em All, And Justice For All... is my favorite album by the Metallica guys.”
Don Jamieson (That Metal Show co-host): “I remember it like it was yesterday. My friend was doing a metal radio show at the college we went to. I used to hang out with him during his shift, drink beer, and bang my head. Listening to that album made us want to go out and tip over cars – and I think we may have tried!”
