I remember where i was too. Crazy how you can hear a song and it takes you to a different time. I was 10 years old or so and it was the late 80s. I remember my buddy and i were standing in line at a movie theater and he takes this tape out of his pocket, yes cassette tape lol, it was the first time i saw the cover of justice. He played the tape in his moms car when she picked us up after the movie. Blackened came on and i thought it was the greatest thing ever. We got back to his house and eye of the beholder was on. His mom let us stay in the car and finish the tape. Shortly after that, i remember seeing the video to One at my buddies from church house. It was the greatest thing i had ever seen. That was my introduction to metallica. I then found out they had 3 albums before this. Holy shit! In order to buy these other 3 tapes as well as my own copy of And justice for all, i would collect golf balls in the canyon right outside the golf course and then sell them 4 for a dollar to the golfers thru the fence. I just smoked a fat bowl and im writing a book to yall 😅

Well, it is more like a spiritual experience when Metallica plays period... It doesn't even matter what they play. The whole energy level of the room/arena/concert just changes when Metallica comes on stage. I have seen some crazy good and famous warm up acts for them, but when these dudes come on stage, the whole energy of the arena just goes to the 17th level straight and keeps on ascending... And after the three hour show they put on, where you have just run your body through like 3 times, you aren't even tired... It is a weird thing. I have not experienced anything like this with any other band...

There is also a hidden meaning to the lyrics, Howard stern clicked on to it. It's about James. His father left the family home when he was about 13 and then his mother died when he was about 16. He has said many times that he felt anyone he grew attached to would abandon him. Even Cliff dying in 1986 must have left him with a simular feeling.

Fun fact Alex. While touring promoting this album Lars had oxygen by his kit because between "Master of puppets" album and "And Justice for all" he was playing all this shit and he passed out 1 night from lack of oxygen to brain. Next night he played but had portable oxygen for rest of tour. That's also why there aren't many fast songs on drums after this album.

I love watching Alex react to Metallica. I'm 51yo, in 1983 when I was 13yo I bought Kill Em All.. I had no idea what to expect but it blew me the fuck away! Here I am all these years later still loving Metallica as much as I did in the 80s.. but let's be honest, the stuff they wrote back then is timeless. Enjoy it Alex and believe me when I say the more you hear how cleverly they put put these songs together the more you appreciate them and you'll love them for life. Rock on brother 🤟

The previous 3 records laid the foundation for Metallica's friggin launch. This record got mainstream attention because of this video. Setting the stage for the mega-hit, Black Album.
@purplebeard1526 3 жыл бұрын
I'd agree with this. I still wonder to this day, if Metallica didn't have The Black Album when they did, and me getting it when I did would I have gotten to Metallica and into Metallica. I went TBA, Load, Re Load, then someone let me borrow MoP... after experiencing that one I got their back catalog up to that point and then continued on. After experiencing those earlier works I get the pre-TBA and post-TBA arguments about them but I like all of their albums and I think the only bad one has been St. Anger. I think my favorites are TBA, Garage Inc, MoP, and AJFA.

@@purplebeard1526 I grew up listening to the Black Album. It came out about 2 months before I was born. I had the same path you did for the most part. The black album first and then listened to their next few records when they came out. After S&M, I went back and listened to their old stuff. I dont mind St. Anger, at least the first 4 or 5 songs. After that its pretty hard to get through. I respect it though because of what they, mainly James, were going through at that time. Lulu, even though its not a Metallica record is easily the worst thing they ever did. If we are going studio albums, I'd go MoP, Ride, Justice, Black Album, Hardwired. Kill 'em all is damn good live, but no where near as good on the studio album. If we are including S&M, I'd put S&M under only MoP.

I think musically, the song starts with you in the foxhole. As it progresses you are just waiting for the chaos to emerge. When the solo starts it, to me, is as though they have jumped out of the foxhole and are shooting their machine gun. Dun dun dun dun. Slow controlled bursts until, either, they are killed or they have killed their opponent. Then the calm after the storm. The music that accompanies this song is unreal.

This song took me like three months to learn how to play on guitar. It's so freakin complex and melodic, then goes into a heavy riff that takes you into another world. It's literally a musical journey. If you play guitar, I recommend you learn this song. It gives you a hell of a workout in the wrist and fingers.

@@danielmontgomery7657 I have, some. They have some songs I like. There are songs across most of metal that I like. I just don't connect with them emotionally like I do with Metallica. And with Metallica, I connect with all of it emotionally. From Kill Em All through the Black Album, from Load/Reload through, Death Magnetic, yes, even St. Anger. I haven't listened to Lulu, and honestly Hardwired hasn't gripped me on an emotional level, even though I love many of the songs on it. But the rest of Metallica occupies a unique spot with me, and One is my absolute favorite song, all around. I'm not a metal head at all. My other favorite bands are Bee Gees (1st love), Duran Duran, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, etc. Metallica doesn't fit in this group, but it's the band that most intimately defines my love of music.

Not sure if you noticed from the bits of movie in the video, but the man and boy at the beginning are father and son. The son is the "One". The father is the salesman later making a profit exploiting his mutilated, handicapped, helpless son. Then in the end, abandons him saying, "every man faces death by himself."
