cpt, the way you described as the inaccurate way of playing master of pupets is almost really the correct way:
e -----------
b -----------
g 9----7-6-5-
d 9----7-6-5-
a 7----5-4-3-
E -----------
well thats how most tabs do show it as being played. i just listened to the intro over and over and i think it really might be:
e -----------
b -----------
g -----7-6-5-
d -----7-6-5-
a 2----5-4-3-
E 0----------
the only difference being the E chord is being played an octave lower. i really don't hear any higher pitches on that first staccato beat.
what you might have seen 'tallica playing was something like this:
e --------------
b --------------
g --------------
d -----12-11-10
a -----12-11-10
E 0----10-9--8
mayhaps they were just playing the same thing in a different position? that is like 99.999999998% correct. it's the universally accepted way of playing it. don't stress out too much man.
