There's something very impressive about seeing a cello play a thrash metal solo. Probably the coolest thing I've seen done with an instrument in my life.
The solo was sick as fuck. Totally agreed I've never seen something like that before. I've also never seen so many 50 y/o's in the comments like the one above me crying about a song because it's not like it was when they were in college 😂😂
It's hard to fathom Apocalyptica's journey after this. From being called a cheap cover brand, to playing Wagner with orchestra and circus performances all the way to being the most respected cello-driven band collaborating with the band that started them. This is incredible. Hats off to you, men. Rock on! 🤘🤘
@@kiltedcampers Haha, I've always agreed but I do remember back when they started some people loved it but others (mostly the elitists) were saying it was kitsch and stuff. And yet you have songs like Fisheye that rocks harder than a lot of bands, lol. Now Eicca and the others can say they had the last laugh! :)
Metallica was never known as a cover band. When Metallica first started, they did do their own versions of covers but did not tell anyone they were performing covers and nobody knew any different and Metallica was never called or known as a "cover band". Also Apocalyptica may be a cover band of sorts, they were never know as a cheap cover band but a band that did fantastic reimagined covers of songs and made them their own.
I love James narrating his lyrics instead of singing them. It makes it feel more personal like reading a letter that was written before he lost his limbs, hearing and sight by an explosion. But knowing that it’s just happening inside his head. It’s heavy
Me too. The helplessness of the guy's situation is magnified more that way. This is just so epic that now with the Cielo accenting the feel of the song, it' has spread its wings even more...and of course the mind-blowing guitar solo replicated note for note, which is just so perfectly executed!
Although people Commented they didn’t like James speaking instead of singing, that made this version special to me! It made it has its own flavor. If he had sang like he’s used to sing, it would be just another cover with James making it sound as the original version. The fact that he spoke the lyrics made me focused on the drama of the lyric itself instead of the vocal melody, making the song look as a movie. Awesome version!
@@anadoichinova4713 exactly! Even though I know all the lyrics, I,ve always focused on the melody. Now I kinda feel the lyrics instead of only knowing it
There's a part of me that wishes James had actually sung on this, but it doesn't matter, not when you hear all the rest of it. Somehow he managed to ignore a vocal melody he's sung hundreds (if not thousands) of times, and make the delivery of each line meaningful. That takes tremendous work and effort. There are hints of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits in his voice. It sounds fantastic. The orchestration and every other decision made on this song make it new and original. Having a fresh take on a classic is no easy task, but this does it to perfection. It's almost more of a musical art piece than a song, and that's more than okay.
Well, James sang "One" with Apocalyptica in the 30 Anniversary of Metallica. You can find the video, and it's amazing, because Lars and Kirk also played their instruments along the guys of Apocalyptica.
You wrote what I felt. James speaks as Leonard Cohen would had. Two times during the speak we do guess he is struggling against a pulse of singing, howling, like the wolf he is ! Great interpretation with the Apocalyptica team !
"For democracy, a man would give his only begotten son" . I really appreciate the story attached to the writing of the original but I can also appreciate the storytelling in this version as well. Intense and thoughtful imagery to go with powerful and imaginative musicianship. A creative representation of a highly respected song and very, very well done.
I dig it. They did their own thing with it and made it their own, including the choice to have James narrate the story instead of singing the lyrics. Metallica has done plenty of covers where they’ve changed things up and made a song their own. I think Apocolytica has done the same thing with their version of One. Good job!
Look up Apocalyptica. Their first album is titled: Apocalyptic plays Metallica on four chellos. They did 2 albums like that. Then did a album with Pantera, Metallica, and 3 other bands. They have been on tour all over the world and started out in 1996. Tons of albums. Absolutely phenomenal!!
This isn’t a song to me. This an entire freakin play, full of emotion and story telling. I didn’t like it at first, but once you realize this is something you aren’t listening to in the gym but rather on full volume in the living room with a glass of blackened bourbon; it’s an entirely different experience. This is an entire freaking journey.
This is like being in a medieval tavern and some ranger is telling one of his adventures. In the background some bard is giving it all on the stage with his cello 😂😂😂
WHAT!? This is absolutely amazing. Definitely can't wait!! Here I am heading to sleep looking to put on my favorite songs to go to sleep to from y'all how amazing!! You should be so proud of yourselves!! For the last 15 years one of my favorite bands near and dear to my heart. I was so blessed to see you live twice. Congrats everyone!! Excited to see this!!!! From covering Metallica beautifully to working with them!!Much love can't tell you enough how amazing y'all are
This just shows you how orchestrated Metallica's music is. James's and Lars's compositions are like classical music with beautiful melodies and layers. As a cello player myself, this is even more amazing. Kudos to all involved! (I would love to hear a version with James actually singing, though the spoken word is cool)
Precisely! This reveals even better, how skilled and genius the composition is. There’s pretty much more music this than in those million-making songs You usually hear from the radio.
Omg this is amazing !!!!!!! So creepy hearing James narrating the words- it's so dark and suspenseful. Amd I love Apolyptica, they are masters in their own right. I absolutely LOVE this. !!!!!!!!!

Be impressed by James Hetfield reciting just as Leonard Cohen did, whom James admired when Cohen was alive. As the years go by, Metallica gets bigger and bigger.
And shittier and shittier. Lame af and Metallica has a hard enough time with thier identity. Last good album was the black one after that they went pop metal.
@puppetthepirate sorry bellend, I guess I overestimated the intelligence of people reading the comments and did not allow for people like you that might also be reading. I mean its a fresh spin on a classic song. Understand now?
I need to catch my breath again after seeing this epic song and video...now let me find the right words to express how I feel and it's going to be hard... This is a video and an interpretation that really touched my soul, it's moving and intense and a very different interpretation from your previous cover of ONE and yet equally beautiful. This new cover of yours reveals more the human side of war, the desperation linked to it, the images are strong and very fitting for the concept. And James Hetfield's narrating voice is really perfect, it gives a different touch. I'm so happy of the collaboration with James and Rob, this is a great collaboration project and once again Apocalyptica shows that after many years they can surprise us with something completely new. Sorry for being late, I missed the premiere this time but I will have this video and song on repeat today and not only today, of course! Thank you, Apocalyptica! ❤
I need to go out of my way to say how great my love, respect and awe is for apocalyptica. I don't know their entire discography, but still I feel like they're of my favourites, I feel like it's a band that needs to exist
Congrats you made One a cinematic masterpiece and collaborated with its creators. You've won music. Seriously though, I've been a fan since the late 90s (Inquisition Symphony was the album that i first heard) when you did metallica covers and it's amazing to see this release. You've all worked so freaking hard and keep doing more amazing things! Congrats on all of your success.
Hetfield's voice is amazing and he never ceases to surprise me. This was such an unexpected take that I'm at awe. Congratulations for this epic collab, guys!
Without words, James' voice makes the best hell burn, and Apocaliptyca, as always, makes my hair stand on end, I adore them. I have followed both Metallica and Apocalityca for years and they never disappoint, they have honestly left me speechless.
Hell, this version of One is interesting! Not only do we get to hear a hearkening back to Metallica S & M, but we get to hear the lyrics spoken in as clear a way as possible! Kudos Metallica and Apocalyptica!
::takes a deep breath:: WHEW! That wasn't just a cover song, that wasn't just an EPIC music video, that wasn't even a symphonic metal MASTERPIECE. That, ladies and gentlemen, was an entire EXPERIENCE!!! Patric Ullaeus has completely surpassed himself as a film director and cinematographer. The juxtaposition of the majestically beautiful cellos and James Hetfield actually speaking the lyrics instead of growling them out was just completely HAUNTING! Having listened to this song literally THOUSANDS of times over the last 30 plus years or so, we have certain expectations when we start hearing those oh so familiar chords and notations playing. Even the eponymous S&M album from over 25 years ago, with it's overly bombastic and brutal orchestral version gave us yet another aspect to the song that we have grown to accept and cherish over the years. THIS, quite literally and simply, destroys EVERY expectation and preconception ONE might have about how this song should sound. Is it the definitive version? NO, we already have that one, and it's perfect in its own right. THIS is simply an offering and homage delivered with love, respect, passion and class. Tough, dirty, gritty, ugly, brutal. But, that's WAR folks. Everyone involved in this project came into it with a very clear picture of what they intended to achieve, and they completely surpassed them. THIS is one of those videos that's going to stick with you for a VERY long time. Apocalyptica has given us something we never even knew we needed, and now that we have it, we're NEVER letting it go.
Man, this was some UNBELIEVABLY cool shit. From just a cover band, to playing with the band you once paid homage to. I'd rather have had James singing in this version as well, but I don't dislike the spoken poetry. And I think it is eventually what will immortalize this song, to the point that many people will choose this "cover", which is a moniker I wouldn't give to it if you asked me, over the original. Fantastic rendition of the original, no matter how you put it.
When the face-melting solo kicked in after the bridge, I said, loudly, "HOLY SHIT!" My husband looked at me like, "wtf?" and I had to tell him "it's the solo from 'One' being shredded on a cello!" He wasn't impressed. I think it's time for a divorce! 😂
Check out the old Apocalyptica Songs, those where they were just 4 Cellos, no Drums, maybe a feature voice every now and then. I loved the purity of those, so much energy in those, so much better than this.
I started listening to your music just a few months ago and now I'm here awake at 5am for you guys and it was totally worth it. Love you guys, hope to see you live soon ❤🤘🔥
@@SihmunathThere has been nothing peaceful about the last 80 years. Civilain massacres all over the world, like in Cyprus and Syria, the Gulf war, the 6 day war, Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, Israel, Vietnam, Korea, just from the top of my head.
But the sad thing is that no one really knows about the 'silent war.' The anti-poaching war. We are in the midst of the mass extinction because of the depletion of biodiversity and people risking their lives and lives of their families to protect what is left and no one knows. The things that poachers and other people from the illegal wildlife trade do to the animals are the worst imaginable horror possible. Watch RHINO MAN the movie and follow Global Conservation Corps and The Zoo of Queensland. There you will learn about the horrors of the silent war.
I discovered these guys in 95 when I went into a record store in Singapore when I was in the Navy and bought the original album. I got my wife into them in 06. I try and tell everyone about Apocalyptica. I hope maybe one day they get a sniff of the RnRHoF.
I've always loved the live version they did together, from the 30th anniversary shows in 2011. I was hoping this would be more like that, but I just can't get past James doing spoken word.
Прямо сейчас, я делаю шаг, делаю второй, двигаюсь уверенно, а куда, не знаю сам. Ребята, вы сделали мой день, месяц, год, жизнь! Благодарю вас. Вы находка в моей жизни. Всё срастется, всё будет хорошо у всех. Всем мотивации и удачи. Всех обнял!!!
Pe parcursul auditiei, am asociat-o cu trairile mele din razboiul Sirian. A redat epic puntea dintre viata si moartea iminenta, intunericul si durerea. O interpretare fantastica impresionanta!❤
It's so ironic that I first heard of this band because I accidentally downloaded their Unforgiven cover from Napster, thinking it was Metallica's. Now they feature Hetfield in one of their rendition of One.
Apocalyptica, always had respect for you guys but this song increased it infinitely. You guys are honestly the best. I always look forward to every single one of your songs and am never disappointed. Thank you guys for bringing us all together with your passion. Thanks for all you guys do. Mr. James Hetfield, the way you approached this collab and the choice to speak was perfect. It really put forth emotions that needed to be felt. The original always will remain a masterpiece of a classic. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this. This was not a disappointment and I just want everyone to know who worked on this, you guys are awesome 👍😎
No words.... I was established in 1974, Metallica was like frosted flakes for me... not one bad song, "B" sides were as good as "A" sides, concerts amazing... but this is fucking incredible!
6:22 seriously gave me chills...it was the same feeling listening to the original when the beat kicked in..Much props...truly amazing how they made it their own...does remind me of an ending to a final fantasy game as well.
Wow, absolutely amazing cover ! Perfect, professional execution. I get goosebumps when listening to it. Metallica + Apocalyptica = amazing choice 👍I love both bands ❤❤Thanks for the amazing experience. 👏👏👏🇨🇿😀
There's something very impressive about seeing a cello play a thrash metal solo. Probably the coolest thing I've seen done with an instrument in my life.

Absolutely love this! 40 year Metallica fan here, I’ll be 70 this year and this gets me going, lol! ❤️
Totally agree, it’s awesome!!
James could easily have a legendary voice over career.. damn
Yeah, he could be the voice of Duke Nukem 🤣
He's done it once before, for a show called "The Hunt".
@@GriefHammerhe also did The Simpsons
Sounds like a scary poem with James's voice! Brilliant

He probabl charges more money to sing than speak lol
No, Apocalyptica is instrumental only. This is OK as it is.
This was unbelievable. It brings a classic song into 2024. I thought it was superb in every way. The setting was spot on.

one with metallica, having officially bass guitar in it, and chellos and shit. what a time to be alive.
and with more decent drums on it too !

I agree. Like what would've even been the point of having James, if he would've simply done the thing like he always done?
they did it years before and it was great, so this is basically a remake and I dont know if its better, but hey! apocalyptica never misses :')
@@Stevenaramburo Cellos don`t sound very metallic or heavy. Not heavy enough for me, but symphonically, it's great!

Couldn't have said it better myself
Oh my god, this is one of the most unique covers I've ever heard. The spoken lyrics somehow make it much darker, it's brilliant
James' voice is giving me Leonard Cohen vibes, especially from You want it darker, amazing.
Perfect❤
I wish he was IN the video though 😆
exactly!

I adore all of this. Hetfield has richness and depth in his voice and this version came really close to shudder me with sort of intimacy. Powerful.

From just a cover band, to playing with the band you once paid homage to. I'd rather have had James singing in this version as well, but I don't dislike the spoken poetry. And I think it is eventually what will immortalize this song, to the point that many people will choose this "cover", which is a moniker I wouldn't give to it if you asked me, over the original.
Fantastic rendition of the original, no matter how you put it.
What a beautiful reimagining of a magnificent song.
James has to be casted as a Disney villain now!
He could be The new wishmaster
Fuck Disney
That would be very cool right.
He shall be... The Cowardly Lion 🦁
I had the same thought. Will James get into acting?
Finally I can hear the bass 💀
Nice shout out to Jason!🤘👍
Right?!
Yeah fish are cool
😂😂😂
@@chrisjones2357 but they don't say much
When the face-melting solo kicked in after the bridge, I said, loudly, "HOLY SHIT!" My husband looked at me like, "wtf?" and I had to tell him "it's the solo from 'One' being shredded on a cello!"
He wasn't impressed. I think it's time for a divorce! 😂
😂🤘🏻
I am more impressed by the drums, since Lars was not even included. lol
'solo', 'shredded', too bad I'm married.
Check out the old Apocalyptica Songs, those where they were just 4 Cellos, no Drums, maybe a feature voice every now and then.
I loved the purity of those, so much energy in those, so much better than this.
Time for an upgraded ring!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m completely blown Away !!
The dissonant screech of the cellos in the heavy part makes it feel twice as heavy and chaotic!
I started listening to your music just a few months ago and now I'm here awake at 5am for you guys and it was totally worth it. Love you guys, hope to see you live soon ❤🤘🔥
sad part about this is that the song describes the reality that many people are living in this moment... Peace would be nice for a change.
Really? Humans never lived in such peacefull world like last 80 years.
As Megadave said Peace Sells.....But Who's Buying?
@@SihmunathThere has been nothing peaceful about the last 80 years. Civilain massacres all over the world, like in Cyprus and Syria, the Gulf war, the 6 day war, Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, Israel, Vietnam, Korea, just from the top of my head.
But the sad thing is that no one really knows about the 'silent war.' The anti-poaching war. We are in the midst of the mass extinction because of the depletion of biodiversity and people risking their lives and lives of their families to protect what is left and no one knows. The things that poachers and other people from the illegal wildlife trade do to the animals are the worst imaginable horror possible. Watch RHINO MAN the movie and follow Global Conservation Corps and The Zoo of Queensland. There you will learn about the horrors of the silent war.
WOW, this sounds HUGE! it's totally differentbut but absolutely great, and epic, love it!
Это не просто музыка, а чистой воды искусство 😍
Him narrating versus singing makes this song more tragic and beautiful.
No, it doesn't. It's over dramatic spoken word and it's not even on time, to boot.
7:35 Holy shit, I have never heard anything quite like that before
He is just a beast 😍😍😍.. Is awesome
Worthy of having his glorious hair metal for sure! ❤🤘
7:56 Man! This solo at the end of track made all that I needed ✌️😎🌹
Ok guys!!!!
This is A Masterpiece!!!
Apocalyptica is the new metal!!!
just WOW...,breathtaking
Trujilo. The baddest bass player in the whole damn land. Loving him all the way back to Suicidal
I won't say Rob's the best bassist Metallica has ever had...but he definitely comes in second place. Cliff Burton will forever hold that top spot
@@DannyMendez-fe4rf Agreed. But I said in the whole damn land lol
This really brings up the idea of the song. The pain and the situation delivers much better when spoken. This is how it should have always been.
Masterpiece!!! Thank you for this. Can't wait to see you again in November in Belgrade
Enjoy for me 😢
You can hear the bass clearly in this tune. Very nicely done.
James with the lyrics like he is reading it from a long lost book of a tale from a war long since over. I L:OVE IT
I absolutely appreciate this version ♡
I discovered these guys in 95 when I went into a record store in Singapore when I was in the Navy and bought the original album. I got my wife into them in 06. I try and tell everyone about Apocalyptica. I hope maybe one day they get a sniff of the RnRHoF.
This shit was fucking trash bro.
I've always loved the live version they did together, from the 30th anniversary shows in 2011. I was hoping this would be more like that, but I just can't get past James doing spoken word.
Robs bass on this is pretty fire ngl
Hubiese sido epico ft Jason Newsted
@@martintrangoni4313 It would have been epic with Cliff Burton.
Прямо сейчас, я делаю шаг, делаю второй, двигаюсь уверенно, а куда, не знаю сам. Ребята, вы сделали мой день, месяц, год, жизнь! Благодарю вас. Вы находка в моей жизни. Всё срастется, всё будет хорошо у всех. Всем мотивации и удачи. Всех обнял!!!
love the half-life explosion at 1:46
Pe parcursul auditiei, am asociat-o cu trairile mele din razboiul Sirian. A redat epic puntea dintre viata si moartea iminenta, intunericul si durerea. O interpretare fantastica impresionanta!❤
It's so ironic that I first heard of this band because I accidentally downloaded their Unforgiven cover from Napster, thinking it was Metallica's. Now they feature Hetfield in one of their rendition of One.
Napster's Ulrich Weekend
Way darker and unbelievably awesome
This is amazing. So atmospheric l I love it.
Apocalyptica, always had respect for you guys but this song increased it infinitely. You guys are honestly the best. I always look forward to every single one of your songs and am never disappointed. Thank you guys for bringing us all together with your passion. Thanks for all you guys do.
Mr. James Hetfield, the way you approached this collab and the choice to speak was perfect. It really put forth emotions that needed to be felt. The original always will remain a masterpiece of a classic. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this. This was not a disappointment and I just want everyone to know who worked on this, you guys are awesome 👍😎
Who doesn't love cellos? Such a beautiful and versatile instrument!
This was an amazing adaptation and video!
this is absolutely INSANE good performance!!!!
James voice+ masterpiece of cello =APOCALLICA 🫡
This totally feels like something you'd hear as final boss music in a Final Fantasy game
We'll all be dancing mad ;)
Sepiroth soundtrack for sure 😊
No words.... I was established in 1974, Metallica was like frosted flakes for me... not one bad song, "B" sides were as good as "A" sides, concerts amazing... but this is fucking incredible!
SOOOOO Beautiful.....SOOOOOOO Powerful.... How Meaningful This song STILL is today.... THANK YOU BOYS ...
Now you should leave a comment about the song in this video
6:22 seriously gave me chills...it was the same feeling listening to the original when the beat kicked in..Much props...truly amazing how they made it their own...does remind me of an ending to a final fantasy game as well.
Wow, absolutely amazing cover ! Perfect, professional execution. I get goosebumps when listening to it. Metallica + Apocalyptica = amazing choice 👍I love both bands ❤❤Thanks for the amazing experience. 👏👏👏🇨🇿😀
The spoken word style adds a nice forbidden feeling of impending doom, dark, hard & heavy. ☘️
What a great version of this song! What a great expressive Video! Thank you!
If it were the '80s or '90s, this music video would easily be among the best on MTV
It would not be lol. The original one video would be though!
Absolutely, u know the kind they only ever played between 2 and 4 am
Ew get out of here. music videos were not like this back then
Who cares. MTV sold out music videos.
@@madladnate Everyone has sold out. $$ Noting else matters! $$
James hetfield my favourite storyteller of my Life ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you again for an incredible experience. Not a 1st time you are making Mettalica covers, now.. it is more.. real. Super!
someome : you cant shredded on a cello
apocalyptica : are you sure?
DAMN!!! 🔥 One of the most powerful performances I've seen or heard in way too long! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏
うぉー！カッコいい😆（語彙力）ちょっとDeath Stranding 味もあり、気に入ったデス。エイッカちゃん♥️
Great job making your own version of this song. Thank you James and Robert for joining in on the fun of this artistc.
Incredible. His voice and your cellos. And that orchestra. Anazing❤❤
Todo el arte que hace Apocalyptica es excelso, maravilloso y mágico 🪄🎻🎻🎻🥁✨!!!!.
Holy dear God.....this song has new life now
I would say the complete opposite
Haven't heard myself.
