I had a strong sense that we were making a classic record. We all had the same vision of how the album should sound, so we all pulled in the same direction. I thought: “You know what? I think this is going to work out.” Rod said: “That was really cool, can I hear it again?” It was as if God had spoken. One night, our song Welcome Home (Sanitarium) came on in the background. He had a house two blocks from Sunset Boulevard that frequently became an after-hours hang. We used to hang out with Iron Maiden’s manager, Rod Smallwood. Maybe one day they’ll see the light of day. But we thought the punkish nature of the songs was being lost – they were becoming too polished. We recorded two more songs, initially intended as B-sides: The Prince by Diamond Head, and The Money Will Roll Right In, by a California punk band called Fang. So we knew there was a spot for a slow, super-weighty song, and The Thing That Should Not Be came together easily. It’s like food groups – you need your carbs, your protein, all of that. We had a tendency to look at our albums as a collection of different dynamics: there’s a fast song, a mid-tempo song, a ballad, an instrumental. It was as if God had spokenĪll the songs had been written, except The Thing That Should Not Be, which we did in the studio. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) came on and Iron Maiden’s manager said it was cool. I don’t remember labouring over ideas or ways to do things. It’s interesting how instinctive things used to be, how impulsive. Bar none.We had so much energy and belief. From "Battery" to the last kickyour ass tune "Damage, Inc" it just doesn't get ANY better!īy the way."Master Of Puppets" is THE best thrash metal LP EVER. Now the funny side of this song is I used to listen to it on my way to work at the factory and it fuckin' fits perfectly there for me too!īy the way."Master Of Puppets" is THE best thrash metal LP EVER. Everyone feels like this jsut some of us have a harder time controling it. Want more BP lyricss? Read "Until It Sleeps" and alot of others and as mentioned "Unnamed Feeling". I feel good knowing that there is someone else that feels alot like I do and has the balls and talent to sing about it. Trust me this disease isn't fun and and the funny thing is the docs tell me that this music is too negative. I know this isn't a very fuckin' metal explination but believe me I am VERY metal.This is just a song that gives a point of view from someone that has been called mentally ill and is being forced to see that his views on things are wrong.Finally the only way to feel like you can make a point is to kill the fucks that have been holding you down and telling you that you are getting better. So i tcan seem that time stands still at times and no one leaves, it's always there. One problem with BPdisorder is that you "cycle" these feelings and moods can't be controlled.There is no cure. I have read alot of these lyrics from day one and with the most recent St Anger song "Unnamed Feeling" get the impression that James might be BP also.It lad me to drug abuse to change my moods I didn't like and try and keep people away. The word mental illness gives people a certain image that is just not fuckin'true.There are different degrees of everything.īeing "Labeled mentally deranged" but by who? I feel alot of the rage and being misunderstood as crazy when in fact I am not. This song talks to me about my mental ilneess of being bipolar. I think that all songs will mean something different to all.you know "Eye Of the Beholder" type shit.
