Metallica: Master of Puppets (Chicago, IL - July 28, 2022) 

🤘🏾🔥🔥

That “master” growl in the beginning from James was the most brutal thing I’ve heard in quite some time 🤘🔥

5:58 I love how James still to this day yells "PANCAKES" instead of "FIX ME" before the solo as a tribute to Cliff Burton. IYKYK 😂

I have deaf children. Seeing the ASL Interpreter (1:00 in) meant a lot to me. The way those who are deaf hear music is fascinating. A strong interpreter adds a connection to music the hearing may never have. Thank you, Metallica!🤘

You are all about the band and the music. But few people noticed how great the video was shot. Camera 360. Showing people and everything around. Film your concerts like this always.

I cried several times during this set. First time seeing you guys live. My father grew me up on Metallica, pantera, Dream theater, etc… he had a heart attack in January of this year and I almost lost him. He is very much alive and well. I cried hearing how great these guys sounded after hearing how godly they were all these years from my dad. I’m 23 years old and my dad says they are just as great today as they were when they first started. Absolutely incredible. One of, if not the absolute most best performance I’ve seen to date. Thank you guys for being there through my dads hard times. The very first time I saw him cry was after his triple bypass surgery listening to “One” by Metallica. Realizing he had overcome death itself. Thank you.

Hammett has become such a monster..he´s louder than Hetfield and plays these songs at a thpusand miles an hour all with downstrokes....most guitar gods wouldn´t even think of this,,,Kudos to you, Kirk Hammett, the man with the hardest job behind a guitar you can have in rock world...

No matter what people say. METALLICA is still THE BEST METAL BAND OF ALL TIME

41 f'n' years later and STILL filling concert halls, stadiums and festivals worldwide. I'm pushing 65 now and have seen them evolve since 1981. Shreddit!🎸🎵🎼🥁

So sick... the crowd went nuts. Shout out to the sign language interpreter up there jammin too!!

6:25 been giving me chills for over 20 years!

I love how Metallica embraced Eddie Munson's image to this song 🖤

I love how Metallica has embraced Stranger Things. Seeing Eddie in the background. How the Master of Puppets imagery takes on a upside down look. And listen to the crowd. You boys haven’t lost a step. All those people shouting and singing along. You Metallica still got it. Sounds like Metallica has a new found energy when playing Puppets.

2:05 he usually doesn't go for that note, James is on fire this tour

4:34 The camera work here, just absolutely amazing! it's like an out-of-body experience, as if you were a ghost at the show! I need to see Metallica one more time to make it my tenth show, I can't wait for many more!

That twist James did at 4:37 got chills up and down my body... Maybe he is not "THE" best guitar player in the world... BUT, in my opinion, he is the most rhythmic of all times!!

The fact that they had Eddie’s solo scene up there made me scream. Love Metallica 🤘🎸

Damn Metallica this song never gets old! From tape, CD, mp3, now Spotify and RU-vid! Still burning all our ears! Fan from PH circa 1996⚡🤟🏽🔥

What a flawless play, holy shit. Those solos were amazing.

0:59 I like how the sign interpreter is translating the music. I've never seen one do that before. It looks like they're jamming out.

I don't think I've ever seen James and Kirk so insync playing MOP like this.. Amazing sound!!!

I was there in front of the snake pit. The show was absolutely amazing!

Is it just me or has Lars improved his playing during the pandemic? He keeps his tempo and doesn't seem to overuse fills 💪🏼

I've seen a LOT of Metallica live performances, but this has to be one of the best and cleanest yet. Amazing.

Nobody realizes how hard this is! Amazing that they still perform with the amount of energy.

I grew up with this, I’m glad other people are discovering this epic song!!!

The voice of James so aged like fine wine. I really loved how it became more mature and hoarse after the Load Era, despite how people complain all the time that Load/Reload era was the worst. I have many favourite songs from those albums. Majority of people complain about how old Metallica peaked, but this is Metallica at their peak now. Despite being in their 60’s, they still got that energy! Long Live Metallica! The greatest band Earth is ever blessed to have!

James Hetfield 59 years old ( August 3, 1963) and still crankin' it! Yea!

One of the most iconic songs ever in metal world! 🤟🔥

my first metallica concert, i was 6 people back from the front row. it was an experience of a fucking lifetime and i cant wait to do it again

This performance is so legendary!!! Being from Chicago makes it so much better seeing the skyline in the background! 🤟🏼❤️

The camera work during the ballad section was fuckin phenomenal. I love a slow pan where you can see everything that’s going on. Perfect

Metallica is one of the greatest heavy metal band ever of all time, they never disappoints anyone and this performance was absolutely amazing

Saw Metallica with Cliff opening for Ozzy way back in April ‘86. One of my greatest teenage concert memories. Great to see how Master was used in Stranger Things. I can definitely say that even though the album had just come out, it was highly anticipated in the metal world and became an instant classic (and all without music videos, which the band refused to do at that time, and virtually no radio airplay). I remember mouthing the words to the song with other fans next to me during that concert. And as a guitar player, I can also say that we were all trying to learn how to play it almost immediately. Back then, we either had to get our guitar teachers try to show us, learn it by ear or wait until it showed up in an issue of the two or three guitar mags that featured transcriptions. The kid playing Eddie did a fantastic job capturing what kids were like then (and kudos to him for actually learning the song! Made such a difference).

hello Kids on Tiktok, THIS IS CALLED MUSIC!!.

I love when James and Kirk start walking around and just jam with the audience singing back the solos notes to them. 🤟🤟

It's amazing how a TV programme (which I can't say that I've even watched) can have such an impact in broadening the appeal of something. Master of Puppets is an all-time great, now being appreciated by a new generation.

Joseph Quinn now will forever be part of Metallicas history. I absolutely love it. And also glad that I found that amazing piece of music through stranger things.

That growling from 00:45 was brutal and fucking great 👍👍👍

I cried man… mr hetfield is so good with the adlibs too

I play this daily with coffee, a joint and a 10-minute head bang - it helps my neck pain! Metallica rock! Stay rocking!

I’m 50 and been listening to Metallica since high school and this is the best rendition of Master I’ve ever heard!

Clean, Mean, Metal! Love Metallica since 1985! Amazing sound here, - they just get better and better live!

ageless, timeless legends.. started to like this band since 1994, and they just keeps better and better

The level of play and performance for their age is stupendous.

6:40 One of the coolest riffs ever written.

I’m only a millennial who’s just started listening to Metallica and is a newcomer who’s late to the party. I just gotta say this is the most badass metal band I’ve listened so far and I normally listen to bands like Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Beatles, AC/DC, The Who and Queen just to name a few.

Amazing how this band is still this active even after all these years

0:50 it's like there playing in the upside down in stranger things man I just got fucking cold chills thinking about it, it just popped in my head and thought of it crazy shit Metallica for life 🤘🤘🤘 been a fan of Metallica for 12 years now , I'm 30 and just became a fan of stranger things

Gotta say James is looks like he's getting in shape and looking better every set. Keep at it James!

I would give my life for this group

Alright metallica, you’ve introduced me to metal and I appreciate that. I’m a newer fan but I know us newer fans are welcome to the family. Thanks for all of it metallica 🖤🔥

I never get tired of hear Metallica! Especially Master of Puppets. Amazing! The don't age! Seems like they just keeping better and better.

Don't you just love it that Lars is sticking to his drum fills for all these years?

After 37 years and still selling out and still this badass this is what true legends look like

Lollapalooza this year was crazy. Such a great line up. Metallica, Green Day, J hope and so many others.

I'm so glad the younger generation gets to know these legends as well ❤️ Absolutely love them!! Saw them in 2019, best concert I've ever been to. Hope I get to see them live again soon! Keep on rocking 🖤 We love you Metallica 🤘

I love that you guys showed Eddies ICONIC scene up there🤘

I'm 42 and I remember this growing up...it always throws people because I enjoy all types of music and they don't expect me to know anything about Metallica. I love how Stranger Things incorporated it scene and really made you feel it. Timeless!!

A masterful filming and sound engineering. The best.

I was there on Thursday. First time at Lollapalooza, first Metallica concert!!!! They absolutely fucking killed it!!!! 🤘🏼🎸

I know this song is about drugs, but it helped me get over my masturbation/pornography addiction and for that I must say thank you. Stranger Things made me think about it and I realized I could comment on RU-vid. “Laughing at my cries” was very relatable because I was too scared to ask family members for help, so I’d ask people online/friends and all I ever was told was that I only felt like it was an addiction because of my religious beliefs. I was constantly tired, distracted, depressed, and I had trouble keeping relationships. I finally built up the courage to confess my consumption of porn to my preist and he suggested praying, meditation, and that I listened to this song whenever I felt tempted. That was how I learned about Metallica and have been a fan ever since.

Wow Metallica!! I’ve been singing this song since I was 13!! You keep me singing 34 years later 🤘🏻♥️🤘🏻

One of the greatest songs ever written about addiction. They brought awareness to a subject before our society as we now know it is plagued with it, looking for a solution> Master of Puppets, I'm pulling your strings, twisting your dreams and smashing your dreams, blinded my me you can't see a thing...

1:00 when Metallica hires a sign language interpreter so the deaf can enjoy the concert as well

Still one of the best Bridges ever written in music history

Always has been and always will be my all time favorite song EVER!! THIS is the one that changed my life, many decades ago.

Everybody's playing is sharper here than it's felt in a while. Beautiful to see and hear, and James sounds like he's in great voice.

Can we appreciate the sutil details of Lars' double bass at 6:47 ?

One of the best newer live versions ive seen!!

Still just as awesome as they were when I was young . I'm proud to have grown up with Metallica and the guys look great! James still hitting those high notes too! Keep rocking guys ❤️

Still goosebumps when they hit this live. Still got it.

Wow, this has to be one of the best live performances of this song EVER. Amazing how they can still rock out like this after 4 decades. Legends 🔥!

Met em in 1995 and 2014 they are still simply amazing

In case you guys wanna follow along but don’t know the lyrics.. End of passion play, crumbling away I'm your source of self-destruction Veins that pump with fear Sucking darkest clear Feeding on your death's construction Taste me and you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster Obey your master Your life burns faster Obey your master Master Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, 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 Needlework the way, never you betray Life of death becoming clearer Pain monopoly, ritual misery Chop your breakfast on a mirror Taste me and you will see More is all you need Dedicated to How I'm killing you Come crawling faster Obey your master Your life burns faster Obey your master Master Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, 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 Master, master Where's the dreams that I've been after? Master, master You promised only lies Laughter, laughter All I hear and see is laughter Laughter, laughter Laughing at my cries Fix me Hell is worth all that Natural habitat Just a rhyme without a reason Neverending maze Drift on numbered days Now your life is out of season I will occupy I will help you die I will run through you Now I rule you too Come crawling faster Obey your Master Your life burns faster Obey your Master Master Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, 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

This is my favorite guitar of James’ post-1990. It’s just *such* a badass explorer design…and you know it probably plays better than any Gibson ever made…

It's 2022, and they still play it perfectly! RESPECT

I've rocked you since all I could play was your vinyl on my old record player, and I will be a 5th member for LIFE!!! Best metal band ever!! 🤟🤩🤘

Been a fan since 87 and they just get better with age!!! ❤️🤘🏻 This is one the the best metal songs written of all the time

Love Metallica 🤘💓🤘

NEVER GETS OLD

No comments.The best heavy metal band in the world.

Manchester 2019!!! Simply indescribable and unforgettable!!! After half hour it started to rain, after a good hour the sky opened the doors and many rivers falls and you just play two and a half hours!!

it's good that in the new generation there are bands, like us, that make this kind of music

I've been listening to Metallica for many years and I can't get enough. Thank you Metallica. Also I miss Cliff Burton. One of the best bass guitarists to ever live. REST IN PEACE Cliff

I love when he screams "shit" after missing a note at 7:00. It's so encouraging to see that as a beginner guitarist.

Absolutely Great! Best way to end a concert, with their iconinc and best song ever: Master of Puppets. Love the cameras filming Kirk´s guitar solo and James speaking to the crowd..... Fucking amazing!!! Best song ever written, best album ever recorded, Best Band ever!!!!!

4:31, when you see the new generation and kids enjoying a Metallica concert that’s when you regain faith in humanity and believe there is hope for society !

I was at that concert in lolla, an incredible experience, keep metallica another 100 years🤘🎉

Eddie this one is for you ! 💗💗

Metallica & Eddie the most epic in the world!!! 🙌🙌🙌🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is probably the best song in the entire music history 🎸🥁🎶📢💣💣💣💣

Towards the end it looks like James' arm got pretty tired but Kirk covered for him the whole time. People need to give Kirk more credit.

Metallica, maior banda de todos os tempos!!! Metallica, la mejor banda de todos los tiempos!!! Metallica, the greatest band of all time!!!

Metallica are survivors! 100 years from now people will still be discovering this music and start headbanging!!

Es increíble como la voz de James se a conservado tan bien, suena increible

Damn, they were on fire that night 🔥🔥

This was my first ever Metallica show that I got to see live and it was a life changing experience, the crowd was electric and it was fuckin awesome

This is my favorite Mettalica song of them all! I just love everything! The vocals the guitar solos it’s fantastic

James' voice is so good these days! I'm impressed!
