MAY’Tallica Day 5 – An Eight Minute Class In Thrash Mastery From Metallica

Since it's Friday, let's crack up today's MAY'Tallica pick. The title track of Master Of Puppets is so good. As a matter of fact, I loved it before it was used in Stranger Things! LOL

In all seriousness, this is another eight minute class in thrash mastery. Talk about a song that takes the listener on a roller coaster ride. There's so many flavors to this song, which is why it's still one of Metallica's best all these years later.

On my Facebook page, listener Jeff Falzone described it like this..."It's the perfect build up to the perfect storm of music!" Agreed!

Metallica rocked out old-school last night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., in honor of Jonny and Marsha Zazula, the late founders of Megaforce Records. The first two Metallica albums were on their label, so the guys played just songs of those records for the fans. Here's what the setlist included.

“Creeping Death”
“Ride the Lightning”
“Motorbreath”
“No Remorse”
“Trapped Under Ice”
“The Call of Ktulu”
“Phantom Lord”
“Am I Evil?” (Diamond Head cover)
“Metal Militia”
“For Whom the Bell Tolls”
“Whiplash”
“Fade to Black”
“Seek & Destroy”

Encore
“Fight Fire With Fire”
“Blitzkrieg” (Blitzkrieg cover)
“Hit the Lights”

My friend, and fellow Struggle Within Michigan member, Cheska Sparks was there and sent me these amazing pictures. If she got any closer they'd ask her to join the band! Great job Cheska!!
