Metallica did WHAT when they recorded master of puppets? #shorts

Hetfield can play it live just as fast and faster than the album recording.

[duncansalyer]

Me: wow, I can believe James would speed up the track and make everyone believe he could down pick that fast
James: *plays faster than the album live*

[gabemoss]

This guy literally said “I can’t do it so it must be impossible”

[wilsoncrocker]

i guess het slows down time itself when playing it live....

[ashtnplaysguitar]

Honestly I'm beginning to think this guy is just a big troll

[alexanderhanksx]

Well it doesn't help that you're not playing the riff correctly

[zacharybixler]

Respectfully, this does not sound right.

[Peenurpool]

.... When I listen to Master of Puppets I listen to the whole album every time.... And so do my neighbors 😬👍

[abalt]

Damn Jordan Peterson is fuckin’ metal?!?!? I did not see this coming!!!

[tylermarin]

They didnt speed it up you just cant do it 😂

[krafgeetar]

That’s a complete myth. Hetfield recorded all the rhythm parts at album speed in standard tuning. (With the exception of Thingy, it’s in D standard)

[kingnick]

Little do we know, spacetime is magically sped up at every Metallica concert

[tntisbased]

James actually plays the chords and all the notes of the first riff on the e string

[Squall]

Im pretty sure they did a slower version to make it sound tighter because tracking back then would change the pitch post production (see the tuning on Ride the lightning). They also tuned a little lower than E so when it sped up, it would come back to E tuning

[JRTGarage]

At their age now, they are playing it even faster during live performance.

[RobMann]

My favorite song from this album was disposable heroes because i loved how fast and heavy it sounded

[casualcalvin]

I don’t think they do it anymore but they actually used to play the song at 115% speed live. Just shows how much of a beast James is

[StephenMAdam]

I can literally hear James say, " hold my beer!" as he rips out his axe and shreds this riff no problem!

[willm]

I don’t get why downstrokes is hard?? When I first learned to play I used to downstroke everything. Then when I learned with a teacher he made me alternate my picking.. that was hard 😅 but eventually learned and it made me faster

[frfoljek]

They sped it up by like 5 or 10 bpm, but they did that on Ride the Lightning and Kill em’ all too. But 5 or 10 bpm doesnt really make THAT much of a difference and they can indeed play it faster than the album version when they play it live, so…
