“I wasn’t on the fence about choosing a Metallica album for this list, but it wasn’t a hasty decision either. Which album of all albums would I put on if, say, I was at the gym? It would be ‘Puppets,'” said Kerry, who explained his choice and told what Metallica’s best song is.
“One of my favorite Metallica songs – well, probably my favorite Metallica song – is on this record, and it’s ‘Damage Inc.,’ the best song they ever wrote. This is coming from a hardcore-thrash kid. I could justify inclusion with this.

If you think Metallica is Thrash, and they were at a certain point and continued to be a Thrash band for a long time, I would say they were the first Thrash band,” said the Slayer guitarist.
Released on March 3, 1986, “Master Of Puppets” is Metallica’s third studio album and the successor to “Ride The Lightning”. The album was the last record recorded by bassist Cliff Burton.
