Metallica

In July 2022, as Metallica took the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, they were riding high on the success of their 2021 album, "72 Seasons." This album marked a significant point in their journey, as it was their first full-length studio release in several years. You could feel the energy in the air during that live performance; after all, Metallica's meticulous craftsmanship was in full swing, blending old-school thrash with fresh sounds. What's fascinating is that "Master of Puppets," the iconic track performed during this concert, celebrates its 36th anniversary in 2022—talk about a timeless classic! The song dives deep into themes of control and addiction, reflecting Metallica's knack for pairing heavy riffs with profound lyrics. As the crowd roared along, you could sense the connection — both the band and the fans were united by decades of musical history. It's moments like these that remind us why Metallica remains a formidable force in rock music.
