(hennemusic) Metallica Master Puppets On Jimmy Kimmel Live was a top 23 story of April 2023: Metallica Master Puppets on the April 12 episode of ABC-TV's Jimmy Kimmel Live. The third night of a week-long stint on the late night schedule saw the band deliver a punishing performance of 'Master Of Puppets' and get the chance to take part in a skit relating to the iconic title track from their 1986 album.
“Metallica had a huge wave of popularity among young people after their song 'Master of Puppets' on 'Stranger Things,'” Kimmel explained. “So we thought it would be fun to take the group to The Bob Baker Marionette Theater, which is a popular puppet place for kids, to give the kids a chance to master some puppets.”
Metallica appear on the show this week to promote the April 14 release of their new album, “72 Seasons.”
Produced by Greg Fidelman and band members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the project marks the group's first new studio album since 2016's “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct.”
