Master of Puppets Finally Has an Official Video - Learn Stuff

A 36 year old thrash metal song is currently very popular with the kids because of a TV show. I`m ok with that.

San Francisco-based Metallica released their third studio album Master of Puppets in 1986. The band decided to support their record by going on tour immediately, so no music videos were ever made for any of the eight tracks. That is, until now - sort of.

As of a few days ago, there is an official video for the song on the album of the same name and you can easily find it on YouTube. It was produced rather quickly, so you won`t see any footage of the band. This is a \"lyric video\" (yes, like the ones made by amateur YouTubers) that is comprised of mostly animated 3D graphics. No, not like Pixar, like old Winamp visualizer screens. You should be sober before watching.

If I would have played Master of Puppets as a DJ at a club full of young people just a few weeks ago, they would never hire me back. Now it`s cool because... Stranger Things.

Yes, the reason for the new-found popularity is inclusion at the end of the fourth season of a popular television series on Netflix. Whatever works.

Master of Puppets has always been my favorite Metallica album and I have been listening to it before some of the current fans` parents were born. Old.
