Master of Burden Or Feast of Puppets...

For one of the most influential riffs in the kingdom of metal, look no beyond Master of Puppets. The 1986 classic track features the riff almighty of all riffs. Having loved and then learned to play this riff (and the entire song) has been a neat accomplishment in my journey as a guitarist. Before I made videos of me playing this song in total, I thought I should do a fun mashup of this number with the other classic riff that's been haunting me from the past few years, that's Dark Tranquillity's Feast of Burden. From the superb and probably lesser known, Haven album, Feast of Burden shines like a raw diamond from the early years of DT. So I mashed up MoP with FoB and what follows is a sinister riffola of metal fudge. If you are as crazy about riffs as I am, check carefully and test yourself when the time changes from the watch of Metallica to DT. Rest in riffing...
