Metallica are gearing up for a big rerelease of their highly acclaimed 1986 release Master of Puppets. Many fans are pretty stoked for this and can't wait to hear what will be on it in addition to the original tracks. To give the fans a small taste of that, the band has just put out on YouTube a demo of their hallmark track Master of Puppets from late June of 1985 (which can be listened to above).
I definitely like this early version of the song. It has the guitar tone from Kill 'em All and the vocal style from Ride the Lightning. The vocal melody is definitely still developing and the guitars still sound a bit like they're still fine tuning things. It's definitely an interesting time capsule to say the least. Honestly, I like some parts of the demo better than the finished product. Listen for yourself and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
The rerelease is due out November 10th on Metallica's self-run label Blackened Recordings. It will be a three disc set and will feature a remastered version of the finished album, rough mixes, previously unreleased demos, live tracks, and a 28 page booklet. There are also more expansive bundles up for pre-order in addition to the CD version for those who are big enough fans with enough extra cash to drop.
