Episode 4-Master of Puppets Metallica Cover
It was 8 o clock and the gang was at Mitches Dinner getting ready to perform a concert. The announcer walks up to the stage carrying an envelope and a microphone.
Announcer: This next band asked me not to read this but DANG IT! I'M GOING TO READ IT ANYWAY BECAUSE I WROTE IT AND IT'S THE TRUTH! (Pulls out the card and reads it) I FREAKING LOVE THIS BAND! THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER PERIOD! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN SONIC UNDERGROUND!
Note to readers: I borrowed that line from Tenacious D's the Pick of Destiny movie. But I changed a little stuff around.
The audience cheered as Sonic Manic Sonia Tails Chris and Spark walked on stage with their respected instruments.
Sonic: Whats up? We're Sonic Underground and we just rehearsed this song 5 minutes ago. This song is called Master of Puppets by Metallica.
The fans cheered as Spark and Sonic played the opening riff. Sonia played her piano while Manic crashed on the symbols. This song seemed to get the crowd going. Chris and Tails joined in playing bass. Spark was having fun playing and it was only the first song. Spark walked up to his mic and sang the first verse:
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you!
Spark gestured to the crowd as the band transferred to a new riff. The crowd took over singing the next verse:
Come crawling faster!
Obey your master
Your life burns faster!
Spark walked back up to his mike and sang the next line:
Obey your Master
The crowd let out:
Master!
Manic sang the chorus:
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you cant see a thing
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master
(Fans)
Master!
(Manic0
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master
(Fans)
Master!
"Heck yeah!" growled Manic as the band returned to the songs main riff. After it ended Manic played a short fill on his drumset, Spark led the next verse:
Needle work the way never you betray!
(Fans)
Life of death becoming clearer!
(Spark)
Pain monopoly ritual misery!
(Fans)
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
(Spark)
Ooh! Ooh!
Taste me you will see
More that's all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm F***ing you!
Again the band transferred to the bridge. The fans sang the pre-chorus:
Come crawling faster
Obey your master!
Your life burns faster!
(Spark)
Obey your master!
(Fans)
Master!
Manic sang next:
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you cant see a thing
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master!
(Fans)
Master
(Manic)
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master!
Manic Spark and the crowd all screamed the next word together:
Master!
Master!
Master!
Master!
Master!
Master!
Master!
The band paused for a short while then the music came back on after 4 smacks from Manics hi-hat symbol. Spark and sonic stood their playing a slow moving melodic guitar solo. Sonia joined in playing her piano. Chris and Tails walked up to Spark and Sonic and together all four of them rocked out with each other. Soon the music started to get louder as Manic started playing double notes. The riff sounded very low key and bass tom heavy. Manic threw in a couple of snare china whacks. This continued for two measures before Manic Chris Tails Sonia Sonic and the crowd shouted together the next verse with Spark:
Master Master Where's those dreams that I've been after
Master Master, You promised only lies
Laughter Laughter all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter laughter laughing at my cries
Manic gave an evil laugh as Spark yelled :
FIX ME STATION SQUARE!
Spark jumped in at the point with the second solo. It was fast heavy and very high key. Kirk Hamlet would definitely be impressed with Spark. Soon everyone on stage started playing 2 new riffs. The riffs sounded like they were remixed. They did this for awhile then they went back to the songs main riff. Soon however all instruments went silent for 4 hi-hats. Then the band played the second verse intro as Spark yelled out the final verse:
Ooh-aaaaahh..
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
never-ending maze drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I'll rule you too!
The fans sang the pre-chorus:
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
(Manic)
Obey your Master!
(Fans)
Master!
Spark sang the final chorus:
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings!
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you cant see a thing
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master!
(Fans)
Master!
(Spark)
Just call my name and I'll hear you scream!
Master!
(Fans)
Master!
"Shaa!" said Spark. Soon the band reached the outro to the song. Spark gave an evil laugh then everything went silent for four hi-hats. Then everybody started laughing maniacally. After the song came to an end the fans went nuts.
"Thank you friends!" yelled Sonic
"Okay We're going to make things a little darker so can somebody hit the lights?" asked Spark.
The Lights went out. Not a singe person in the bar made a sound. The fans were all confused.
