Classical Composer Reacts to METALLICA: Master of Puppets (Side 2) - The Daily Doug (Episode 794)

#metallica #masterofpuppets #orion
In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm making a quick return to Metallica's Master of Puppets to finish listening to the album. Today, we're hearing all of side 2, the last four songs, including: Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, Orion, and Damage, Inc. I think the album is a triumph, and I loved this journey. I hope you do as well!

I an not sure if you caught it since you didn't say anything about it during the song, but the bass parts in Orion often mistaken for guitar are the melody part at 25:20 and the solo that begins at 30:14.

Orion is definitely Cliff Burton’s masterpiece. You don’t realize exactly how incredible the bass playing is until you see someone doing a bass cover because Cliff made the bass sound like anything but a bass to the untrained ear. When you realize what he was actually playing it’s mesmerizing.

I don't know if someone had written this (back in 2016) "Metallica's Master of Puppets has become the first heavy metal album to be added to America's National Recording Registry. The government-run library picks 25 recordings judged to be "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". It keeps the best-quality originals to safeguard for future generations." 🖤🤘
the reason why so many metallica songs are in E (even nowadays) is because that's the lowest note you can play on guitar in standard tuning. so naturally it sounds heavy, which is what they go for
Orion almost follows a Rondo structure, like Beethoven's Pathetique, A-B-A-C-A. Think that's why I loved Orion so much having some classic music love. Also, I heard Cliff's Mom asked for him to put something that her and Dad could dance to. So the middle movement has that waltz like pattern... so cool.

I've always heard this as a symphonic structure with 4 distinct movements (although the last 2 are very short). The first 2 are obvious, the last solo is the whole 3rd movement (scherzo)- brand new, aggressive riff underneath. The 4th movement is the reprise of the riff from movement 1, but without the off-beat.
Damage Inc. Is a perfect ending to this masterpiece.

As the kids say these days, they 'did him dirty'. Btw I recommend James Mason's 5 different AJFO mixes, each with the bass guitar at varying levels.
Thank you Doug for recognizing that not all heavy metal is just noise, and there are nuances there.

Really appreciate you adding this straight to the Metallica playlist!
Damage Inc is a metaphor for the band. The dark sets are the stages they play on. "Step a little closer if you please" is inviting the crowd to get up to the front and bang their heads. Great metal anthem in the vein of some of their other songs like Hit The Lights, Metal Militia and Exodus' Bonded By Blood.
In my opinion this is the best thrash album of all time for the easy and simple reason that it has everything, great riffs, harmony, lyrics, solos, speed, the entire structure of each song. It is not only about going as fast as possible but also having each of these components and it is the difference with the other bands, achieving each of these things. This album for me is number one, following Ride the Lightning and in third place is Megadeth with Rust in Peace, of course for me but everyone has their own taste and is respectable 🤘🏻✌🏻
Damage Inc. is arguably Metallica's thrashiest song. Even Kerry King from Slayer praises THAT riff (written by Kirk btw)
I truly appreciate the breakdown of how intricate and beautiful this art really is!!! The mass public considers this style of music "noise", when there's a lot more to it. Metallica defined a genre in the 80s, and in my opinion, Master of Puppets was their true peak, and millions of people don't want to hear this because of the stigma that surrounds it.
Justice is still one of my favorite albums of all time - every song flowing to the next.. an incredible collection of amazing music. This album is up there - but imho I feel like they came into their own when they put out justice.

The entire album, the guitars are in E standard; EADGBE, except for The Thing That Should Not Be. That one is tuned down one whole step to D standard; DGCFAD. The first 4 albums every song, with that one exception, was in E. It wasn't until the Black Album, that they started using alternate tunings. Most are in E, but some are in Eb and D.

Doug, you would love the feeling of playing Metallica on the guitar! Some of it is pretty basic, but it sounds hard at their tempo. Playing "Disposable Heroes" is so cathartic! All the downpicking releases so much aggression. It reminds me of the phone booth scene in "Dumb and Dumber" where the guy outside says something like, "I'm so angry I think I like it!"
Leper Messiah is on my Top 5 Metallica songs. Such an insultingly underrated song.

Thank you for taking the time to touch on the lyrics - one of my favourite things about Metallica is that you can go from headbanging to solemnly reflecting on the lyrics in the same song.
I grew up in the 80s with this line up. It would have been great to hear what this version could have grown into. Cliff is definitely missed and a huge influence on these guys. Thanks for sharing.
Damage Inc is the music corporate industry
Thanks for such an insightful review. I've heard the album hundreds of times but never thought about it on your level. Way to tie it all together.
Kirk’s Solo on Damage Inc. is one of my favorite Metal Solos and I think it’s a perfect solo for a Thrash Metal song. And as a drummer i have spent many nights playing along to this album practicing . I feel like Master of Puppets album has a great variety of metal songs. Has Speedy 180bpm type songs, has some songs with elements of Prog like Battery has the acoustic guitar sounding intro, has some Heavy Metal style songs like The Thing that should not be. Orion I think is one of my favorite instrumentals and I would also say brings a bit of a Prog Metal Element to the record. Sanitarium is one of the songs that is slower tempo has more melodic feel and a song that when I want a slow metallica song Sanitairum is great to me. I think this album is a great example how to make a complete album where every song from Start to end has good writing, good musicianship, every body is on there game in there prime on this album I believe . I feel like the when I compare the Ride The Lighting album To Master of puppets . I feel like Ride has a Icey Stone Cold , Electrifiying feel. Master feels like the recordings are better overall sound quality than Ride. If Ride feels like Icey Rage then Master feels Like Firey Rage if that makes Sense
As an early OG member of your channel, I must say that I'm glad to listen to these vids, I'm an avid fan of you and Metallica, there is other all time classic album to listen like this, love the format. Have fun and love music

What a tragedy when they lost Cliff. It was the beginning of the end, for me. As you say, he was the glue that held them together, and he was a great composer. This album was their masterpiece. This album blew me away, as a teenager. I'd never heard anything like it. It marked me for life. So sad they couldn't create anything better after. They lost their soul. Jason tried his best to 'replace' Cliff, but they did't allow him to fully integrate into the band. And it showed. I saw them on the "And Justice..." tour. One of the best concerts ever, and a lot because of Jason. He's a beast, but they never really incorporated him into the band. After, it was too late.

If I remember right, most of the solo's in Orion were performed by Cliff save for like one or two I think. Cliff was able to manipulate his bass sound in such a way that it sounds like a guitar, but it's actually Cliff's bass.

Doug, you REALLY need to do And Justice For All (the whole album) next - it's the natural progression of this, and was where their lyricism and complexity of songwriting reached it's height.
The intro to ‘damage inc’ that you said reminded you of Bach, was written and performed by Cliff Burton on bass. Yep. That was bass. He was just a beast

Anthrax and their influence from hardcore tends to turn people away because they are less melodic, but Among The Living is such a monster album. Every song is great and there is no one better at writing a “mosh part.” They had a hard time following up in the way that the other 3 bands did, so they are less prominent these days, but in 87 they were just as huge as the others and they deserve more recognition.

It is Metallica's best album and easily one of the top ten metal albums of all time. If someone asks me what metal sounds like I'll put this on. Not only does have the power and power cords but it has the subtle too, like Black Sabbath.
You made my day bettter 😊
I’d like to get Doug’s take on the Cello version of Pulling teeth from S&M2
A VERY GOOD SPEECH IN REF. TO THIS WORK OF MID 80S. YES, INTERESTING WHAT YOUHAVE SAID THIS EVENING. THX
