Here's one for all you guitar heads and 'Tallica fanatics out there. In the following video, shot by our buddies at Guitar World at Metallica HQ in 2006, Kirk Hammett shows you how to play some of the many classic "RIFFS!" on the band's watershed album Master of Puppets. The title track, "Battery," "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," "The Thing That Should Not Be" — it's a master class (pun intended) from the master shredder himself.
"Master of Puppets is my favorite album," Hammett told us in a 2017 interview, "because we culminated as a band on Master of Puppets. Really! Everyone was kind of settled into their roles; everyone was playing well. We knew what we were striving for, we knew what we could do, we knew each other's playing well, we knew our strengths. And it just kind of all culminated on this album."
Below, watch Metallica blast through an epic rendition of Master of Puppets' "Disposable Heroes" live at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods.
