"One" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica, released as the third and final single from the band's fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All (1988). Metallica performed "One" for the 31st Annual Grammy Awards show broadcast from Los Angeles in 1989. The next year, the song won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, the first ever to win in that category.
"One" was written in November 1987 by Metallica's principal composers James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The song was released in 1989 as the third and final single of the album.
...And Justice for All is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on September 7, 1988, by Elektra Records. It was the first Metallica album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, following the death of their previous bassist Cliff Burton in 1986.
The album title is derived from the last four words of the American Pledge of Allegiance. Three of its songs were released as singles: "Harvester of Sorrow", "Eye of the Beholder", and "One"; the title track, "...And Justice for All", was released as a promotional single.
...And Justice for All was acclaimed by music critics for its depth and complexity, although its dry mix and nearly inaudible bass guitar was criticized. It was included in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll of the year's best albums, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989, controversially losing out to Jethro Tull in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental category. The single "One" backed the band's debut music video, and earned Metallica their first Grammy Award in 1990 (and the first ever in the Best Metal Performance category).

I've been into metal for over 25 years and it was always my favorite genre. Classic metal, thrash, death metal, black metal, power metal, I love all sub genres, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy beautiful music or other genres. I love rock, country, blues and classical as well. Boston, ZZ Top, ACDC, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe bonamassa, Rush, are some of my favorite rock and blues artists. Even some modern rock like Shinedown and Massive Wagons I like a lot. I grew up listening to and love country. Hank Sr, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Billy Joe Shaver...even Brad Paisley and Johnny Hiland with their badass chickin' pickin'. Always loved classical, too. Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 is one of my favorite pieces of all time. I'm just a music lover in general, but metal is what really touches my soul and gets me motivated.

In 1988, when this album dropped, James Hetfield was only 25 years old meaning he wrote it at like 23 or 24. That is simply amazing because how many 23-25 year Olds today could write not just the music to this, but the lyrics as well? Just simply AMAZING!

To get more context on the song, I would recommend watching the official music video which includes clips of a movie infused into the song to add context on the songs origins. The movie being used is called Johnny got his gun. It is honestly really sad to see the official video only because of how well it is put together, it creates a truly moving narrative. You don't have to do a video on it, but you should watch it if you get a chance.

Good music and audio balance, great way of articulating himself, open minded, actually looks at the lyrics and looks up the song beforehand so he’s not clueless of what’s happening the entire time he’s listening, pauses accordingly to express himself without destroying the flow of the song, and I can keep going. He’s found a great way of doing this and I hope more and more people find his channel.

Yes!!! Most reactors don't notice that the drums in the latter half of the song are mimicking guns. So crazy how quickly you picked that up! Also I have to say, for your next Metallica song, you could easily pick any song out of the first 4 albums that you haven't heard before, but I'd recommend Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Creeping Death, Harvester of Sorrow, Blackened, Battery, or Damage Inc. The Unforgiven trilogy is also a great set of songs

There is also a minor to major key change from the chorus into that beautiful section u liked and also when changing into the heavy part towards the end there is a also a minor to major harmony that kicks in right before it goes heavy as hell and as a composer myself i find that very soothing to my ear. It also reflects the differnt moods generated within the composition to express a since of hope or in this case absence from the condition of existance in hopes of an secape into the anger and hopelessness of not having a choice. Great reaction and annilisation!!

I promise I wont suggest on every video but... you gotta check out "Metropolis Part 1" by Dream Theater. Album version is perfect. And despite you saying you wanna do the album version, if you do Nightwish, I absolutely cannot stress enough that you have to do their 2013 Waken performance of "Ghost Love Score" because of their new vocalist and the energy and perfection live. *and not to break the 4th wall, but get thousands of new eyes on your channel from that song alone* Keep up what you do, its brilliant.

1:38 Technically correct, although that award came on the heels of the utter debacle in 1989 which saw Jethro Tull beat out Metallica (among others) for "Best hard rock/metal performance". After being mocked by pretty much everybody in the music industry, The Recording Academy split it off into its own "metal" category for 1990 (and then gave the first _three_ of those awards to Metallica, up through 1992).

As a treat to you and your brother, I'm going to recommend a song so compositionally complex that it's included in the Sydney Conservatorium for Music's Composition Course. The song is And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope, by Ne Obliviscaris. A progressive metal band out of Australia, they are a six piece band with a harsh vocalist, clean vocalist who also plays violin, a biological mutant hybrid of a machine gun and a metronome, and insanely talented guitarists and bassist. I highly recommend watching the Live in Colorado 2016 video because watching them play something so complex live is breathtaking, but I do understand you like to approach from the studio recording. That being said, I still think the Live in Colorado 2016 video is a better showcase of just how truly incredible this band is. Cheers

And also…Machine Head. Start off with Sail in to the Black (album: Bloodstone & Diamonds) then go epic with Clenching the fists of dissent (album: The Blackening, you should listen to all of this masterpiece 😂) Welcome to the metal family 🤘🏻🤘🏻

James is the greatest rhythm guitar player ever Jason great on the bass Lars perfect on drums. Yes they were young and still pissed at losing cliff. But awesome review I really appreciate you're breaking this down

Fun fact : that machine gun double bass idea was inspired by Cliff Burton after listening to Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun".

Whenever I finished watching a video of yours, I ask myself the stupid question- Where were you when this song got released?- How come people, and musically gifted people like yourself, only now discover the artistical greatness of hardrock/metal gods? It's only been like 40 years ago since this song hit MTV. I sort of missed the opinion of what Cliff's replacement brought to the album or did not bring. Maybe it's a territory you did not wanted to explore. Other than that giving you props for retaining that musical and mental clarity to define and express exactly what we failed to bring into words 40 years ago. To me it's not about the grades it gets, but the mere quality of expression that -arguably- almost all of us do not posess. As a suggestion, as you enjoyed Tool a lot, try giving Dream Theater a try. Musical mastery on steroids. I promise you'll love it. Wishing you an excellent week, awaiting your next review.

One of my favourite Metallica songs. You should check out “No Leaf Clover” from their live album S&M. It utilizes an orchestra to back them, and it’s incredible. There’s no studio version, it’s an exclusive live track.

When I was a kid this was the "heaviest" stuff out there I could get my hands on and brings me back. I still love Metallica (their old stuff) but they were just a stepping stone and my introduction to metal. Fairly tame and mainstream stuff but still good. I am by no means saying I am a better musician than any of them and I certainly have not achieved anything like they have. So I definitely respect it and still jam their riffs from time to time.

Glad you used the actual song instead of the music video like a lot of reactors do. The ones that use the video get all tangled up in the movie going on behind the song. If you want to see the beginning of Metal World Domination, watch the live version of One Metallica did on the Grammys. You can see the transformation of James through the song. There's a point where he gets in the feel and looks at the camera as if to challenge the audience and warning "we are coming."

I heard that song the day the album came out in 88. There was nothing else even remotely similar to that at the time. I had started listening to Metallica earlier that same year, but I was still stunned by this when I heard it the first time. After 30-something years, this is still my favorite album from anyone.

Simply stating that One won a Grammy award is severely underselling it. The Best Metal Performance category was created explicitly because of One. At the 1989 Grammy Awards they introduced what would prove to be the first, last, and only award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental. This would also be the first Grammy Awards show Metallica was invited to perform at and the first time most people had ever heard Metallica. You have to understand the atmosphere in the 80's. Aside from a handful of enterprising stations, radio airplay was basically nonexistent for Metallica through their first four albums. Their corner of the Heavy Metal world existed outside the mainstream and not having their songwriting constrained by pop or radio standards is among the reasons these epic songs that have endured across these decades exist. Thrash Metal was still very new and very niche. As far as most were concerned at the time "Heavy Metal" was Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. That would change when Metallica took the stage that night. One absolutely blew their minds as Metallica blew the roof off and brought the house down. And then it happened, the winner of the award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental was announced... and flute playing Jethro Tull took it home... to a chorus of boos. An audience full of people who before that night, who before about 10 minutes earlier even, had probably never heard of Metallica actually booed Jethro Tull for taking what they now considered to be Metallica's award. The following year they would split the award into separate two Hard Rock and Heavy Metal categories, though for the first three years the latter could just as easily have been named the Metallica award.

Love your channel! However I believe you’re missing a vital point when “grading” composition. The CORE of heavy metal music are the basic power cords you deduct points for lack of intricate composition. I recommend maybe taking this into consideration when grading composition. Keep up the good work!

12:53 - I agree and completely understand what you mean by using these words. I have been into Metal before I knew about genres of music! I leaned towards what I eventually came to understand as 'metal'. I like loads of other music which brings me to the following, metal is most closely related to classical music with subtle hints of blues and rock?

I always thought the fast riff was a machine gun riff too but having watched the film "Jhonny got his Gun" which the song is about ad also appears in the video for One. The riff is far more reminiscent and very similar to the Military drums rolling at the start of the film. I can highly reccomend watching the One video

Love this song! I swear some members of Metallica must have formally studied classical music as their material feels sophisticated musically, as well as loud!
