"Master of Puppets" is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica, released in France only on July 2, 1986 as the only single from the band's 1986 third studio album of the same name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.metallica.com/releases/master-of-puppets-single.asp )〕 It was also issued as a promo single in the US by Elektra Records.〔http://www.discogs.com/Metallica-Master-Of-Puppets/release/1104788〕 The song was recorded during October–December 1985 at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark It is the second and title track of the album, preceded by a shorter, high-speed typical thrash metal track, "Battery", a similar sequencing heard on Metallica's second (''Ride the Lightning'') and fourth (''...And Justice for All'') albums. "Master of Puppets" is also notable for its extensive use of downpicking and its long instrumental section, beginning at 3:34. The song, as lead singer James Hetfield explained, "deals pretty much with drugs. How things get switched around, instead of you controlling what you're taking and doing, it's drugs controlling you." The song was bassist Cliff Burton's favorite song on the album, as quoted when the album was released. The song is one of the band's most famous and popular songs, frequently played at concerts. ==Live performances== The videos ''Cliff 'Em All'' and ''S&M'' include live performances of "Master of Puppets" in its entirety. A shortened form appears in ''Cunning Stunts''. Both versions can be seen in the video portions of the ''Live Shit: Binge & Purge'' box set. "Master of Puppets" is the band's most played song of all time, first played on December 31, 1985 at San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium for a crowd of 7,000.〔Brannigan, Winwood 2011, pp. 199–200.〕 As of August 9, 2014, the song has been performed 1,476 times (the most recent being August 9, 2014 in Montreal, Canada at the Parc Jean-Drapeau).〔http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/metallica/2014/parc-jean-drapeau-montreal-qc-canada-33cef809.html〕 During the band's World Magnetic Tour, additional live performances were filmed in Mexico City; Nîmes, France and Sofia, Bulgaria. These performances were released on video in November 2009 (Mexico and Nîmes) and October 2010 (Sofia). From late 1999 through 2000, Metallica often combined the song with "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" in concert, calling it "Mastertarium". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Master of Puppets (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
