Master of Puppets. Especially live.

Followed closely by Moonlight Sonata.

Yea I'd want to listen to Moonlight Sonata after Metallica 🎧

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

I'm genuinely surprised no one has mentioned this already, but for me, it's Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence, originally done by Simon and Garfunkel.

This resonates heavily with me for some reason. It sends shivers down my body. While I'm not a typical fan of Disturbed, this song is on its own level. The lyrics are clear, the vocals are strong, and the music just works.

I think it's better if the audio is only listened to, don't focus on the video.

Disturbed - Sound of Silence

When you listen to this version, you realise how inappropriate Art Garfunkel's voice was for such a dark, powerful song. Written by a 21-year old Paul Simon at 3am.

When I first went back and listened to the original ages ago, it was no wonder that I'd never picked up on the lyrics to be what they actually are. You're right, it does seem inappropriate. The original seems to be almost too...upbeat?

Interesting comments. I don't get that at all, but then I grew up in that time and that song was an anthem of my generation. Maybe you just had to be there.

You haven't been to a real rock show until you been to a Metallica concert. I've seen a lot of bands live. Metallica are among the best, live.

I enjoy both the old slower classic version & the more powerful sounding one of Sound Of Silence.
