      Yeah you’re right. As a ten year old kid, this song is one that shaped my whole life. It basically got me into music completely. This song and Epic by Faith No More were the two songs that got me into music. This song had a profound impact on my views on life, on war, critical thought. Literally life shaping.

    It's so amazing watching the two completely different reactions to this song, simultaneously. Jay is absolutely rocking out and head banging to the music, while Amber is completely falling apart and melting before our eyes because of the story. I totally get both reactions, and both are just as pure and real as the conflict of emotions that rise up in me while listening to and watching this.
    Please don't take this the wrong way, because it comes only from a heart of compassion...I just wanted to give Amber a hug while watching this. If I have ever seen someone in desperate need of a hug, it was her struggling to get through this song.
    God bless you both for being the loving, caring, classy, uplifting people that you are!

      Jay is enjoying the music like I did the first years, when I was only 11 or 12 years old. But I didn’t speak English back then and the video wasn’t on Dutch tv. The song is great, but it’s about a horrible subject and to the point.

    This video absolutely blew up MTV when it debuted. Metallica had resisted doing music videos throughout their career up to that point, and when they finally relented and decided to release their first music video, this is what they presented to the world. It was a game-changer for metal music on MTV and it put them on course for a whole new chapter in their career. It is a stunning piece of (short) musical cinema, IMO.

      I don’t know if this was my first time hearing heavy metal, but it’s the first I remember for sure. I was about 7 yrs old when the video premiered, and it was obviously unforgettable. Phil Anselmo’s mom was close with my family back in New Orleans, so I got an education in metal over the next couple years after that seeing their early Pantera shows with him. But this song was my metal intro for all intents and purposes.

      I agree with this. I was 10 when this came out. I wasn't a metal fan. I liked rock, I liked hip hop, pop, but never got into metal. Then one day my cousin (who also wasn't a metal fan) said, "have you heard about that song One by Metallica?", We bought the And Justice For All cassette that day, we had to hear what people were talking about. After that I was a metal fan.

    • @keithdean9149
      @keithdean9149 Рік тому +6

      More like they brought this style of Metal (Speed/Thrash) to the world. Metal had been around, in various forms. since the 60's with Black Sabbath, which to me is Metal in its purest form. Then you had bands like Led Zepplin, KISS, Van Halen, Motorhead, and Quiet Riot, leading into the 80's Metal Explosion. Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant, Ratt, WASP, Def Lepard, and many others helped to make Glam/Hair Metal the standard for a decade. Metalica and Megadeath introduced fans to a whole new genre by the late 80's. And by the early 90's, for the most part, it was over. While many bands remained wildly popular (especially Metallica) Heavy Metal's era was over.
      BTW, I think I was 19 when I first saw this video on Headbangers Ball. And I can still remember the looks on James Hetfield's face when they performed this song at the Grammy's.

      Amber Metallica always has a deep message in their songs. It's the reason their music has endured so long. This song is designed to hit you hard and make you think, but basically it's an anti-war message. That we should rethink why we support war and realize that what happened to this man is not just an unfortunate event, but something we as a society chose to engage in. Metallica is using the shock value to challenge our glorification of war. Thank you for sticking with it. Look at what they say in their songs first and you will appreciate their music much more.

    • @taylemgames2652
      @taylemgames2652 Рік тому +6

      She is amazingly and warmly sympathetic. People confuse that with empathy. Empathy is actually a relatively new term. Sympathy is when you feel for another and react to that. Empathy is sort of a negative thing because someone claims to actually BE in someone else's pain which is basically impossible without the experience of it. An example would be, being sympathetic to the pain and suffering a solder returning from the war is going through, but if you have not been in war yourself there is NO WAY you could be empathic to them.

They so beautifully put emotions into this song that helps others understand what it can be like when we get back home. A large part of us stays in the war zone and flash backs make living back home difficult at times. Thank you both so very much for your love and respect of the military, it's greatly appreciated.

      When you said "a large part of us stays in the war zone" it immediately reminded me of a Vietnam vet I got to know when my mom was in a nursing home near the end of her life. He once said "Sometimes the part I left behind tries to reach out and pull me back. It can be hard to live with. But then sometimes the part of me that came back tries to reach out and drag what I left behind into this reality. That's what really scares me because while I didn't come back the same person I left as, a lot of what got left behind is something I never want to be part of me again."

    So what you guys saw in the video, and basically what the song is saying, is based on the 1939 novel and 1971 film of the same name called "Johnny Got His Gun". It's about a WW1 American soldier who accidentally steps on a landmine during battle. The explosion leaves him critically injured: All four limbs, his jaw, his eyes, his nose, and his ears all blown off. But he is still conscious. And through his mind, while drifting between reality and memories of his childhood with his father and girlfriend, he starts growing insane and wants to kill himself rather than spend the rest of his life trapped in a useless body with no arms and no legs, and unable to move, see, hear, or speak.

Metallica was never just about the sonic boom of their sounds alone. Their lyrics, almost always told a great story too. Combined together, sound and lyric, and you get some of the best music ever written.

    “One” is always a very hard song the first go round. Because you’re so focused on what the soldier is trying to say. When you realize he’s begging for death it hits you.
    And as Amber pointed out as a parent, mothers more so, hearing someone cry out for their parents brings it close to home.
    Amber you got through it better than I thought from reading this video title.
    This is what’s so amazing about music. It can make you feel a ton of emotion every time you hear the same song. Music in general can set a mood or bring you up or down depending on how you feel.
    It can bring back great memories or make you suffer through bad ones again.
    Nothing else can do that in my opinion

      @@Andy-ng9lz While I think your comments are perhaps just a tiny bit hyperbolic, I will say that Metallica holds a firm and well-deserved spot up there on the list of "important" music.🤘

    This song and video introduced me to Metallica when I was in middle or high school I believe. Then I heard the black album and became a fan. Though I had heard of them I never heard them on the radio and I never had the $$ to buy albums then. Now that I’m older I can :-). They are always on road trip playlists.
