      First time I ever heard One, I was in high school and was home watching MTV when the video came on. I was completely in awe and I think my jaw was on the floor. Absolute genius - such sophisticated musical artistry with such gorgeous melodies and harmonies against power packed hard driving metal.

      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...

    The first time i saw them in concert was June 27, 1996 in Kansas City, MO. It was the first time they played songs from Load album live. When it was their time to start, they turned all the lights off so it was pitch black and they played the sounds of war for probably 5 minutes or so before the lights burst on and they started playing ONE. It was amazing.

A green tinted spotlight illuminates Kirk's silhouette surrounded by wisps of smoke. In that moment I knew I'd found my genre. This was what I was going to listen to for the rest of my life.

    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.

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'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.

      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.
