1.Metallica's 3rd album, considered by some to be the greatest metal album ever. It was also Cliff Burton's last album with Metallica (He died in a tour buss accident shortly after completing the album).
2. The title track of the above album. Probably Metallica's most famous song. The lyrics are about Drug Addiction, refering to the drug (most likely cocaine) as "Master".

By far, Metallica's best album. Every one of the songs is a kickass metal song. Every one of the songs would be the number one song on any other Metallica album (except for the black album and ride the lightning). Of course, master of puppets is a quality song...but
1. Battery
2. (already mentioned) Master of Puppets
3. The Thing That Should Not Be
4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
5. Disposable Heroes
6. Leper Messiah
7. Orion (an orgasmic instrumental)
8. Damage, Inc.

are eight of the best songs ever. period.

The greatest Metallica song. From the "Master Of Puppets" album. James Hetfield says it's has many meanings. Most people say it's about drugs.
Metal head 1 - Master Of Puppets is the greatest song ever!
Metal head 2 - NO! Stairway to Heaven is!

Metallica's third album. Said to be their greatest, it is in fact overrated by critics who know nothing. Any real fan will tell you great as it may be, it is by far inferior to 'Ride The Lightning' (Metallica's second album).
A: Ah, Master Of Puppets, a complete masterpiece, greatest of the Metallica albums...

B: You are obviously a Guitar Hero Fan. Anyone who liked metal before GH3 came out will tell you 'Ride The Lightning' is better.

Master of Puppets is Metallica's third album. It was released in 1986, which is the same year that bassist Cliff Burton died in a tragic bus accident on September 27th. Master of Puppets includes Battery, Master of Puppets, The Thing That Should Not Be, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, Orion, and Damage Inc. It is arguiably one of Metallica's best albums.
''Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams. Blinded by fear, you can't see a thing. Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream: master, master! Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream: master, master!''

Literally the rapest song of all time, from the acclaimed Metallica album "Master of Puppets". The song features fast paced down-plucking, heavy riffs, and a complex and lightning fast solo. The lyrics of this song are the stuff of legend.
That was Master of Puppets my friend.
