Master Of Puppets(12)

Kirk Hammett: "I used a Mesa-Boogie Mark 2C amp 
and a black Randy Rhoads custom Jackson guitar. 
For the four-bar fill at the beginning of the song, the 
rest of the guys wanted something high and 
screeching, but I came up with something a bit more 
percussive and riff-like, a flatted fifth-type figure. I got 
this real raunchy, over distorted sound which clashed 
well with the tight rythm sound James had. James 
played the first solo in that song, which is a great solo. 
I worked on the next solo for a couple of days - getting 
it tight was a real task for me. While recording the 
track, my hand accidently pulled a string off the neck, 
and it grounded on the neck pick-up, giving me 
something like a high D. It sounded like I slid up to a 
super high note that isn't even on the neck, so we left 
it. For the next solo we used backwards guitar parts. 
To get them I played a bunch of guitar parts that were 
in the same key as the song and laid them down on 
quarter-inch tape. Then we flipped the tape over and 
edited it, so we had two or three minutes of backwards 
guitar. We put it in the last verse of the song."

James Hetfield: "I think we wanted to write another 
song like 'Creeping Death' - with open chords carried 
by the vocals and a real catchy chorus. On 'Master of 
Puppets' [album] we started getting into the longer, 
more orchestrated songs. It was more of a challenge to 
write a long song that didn't seem long. The riff for that 
song was pretty messy - constantly moving it works 
good live; people love to scream 'Master!' a couple of 
times." (source: GuitarWorld issue of '91)
