Perfectly said. And same for me - I love it when the light goes on for someone who at last ‘gets it’. One of my favorite such moments was a time I was dinking around the house with Iron Maiden’s ‘The Trooper’ having just started. My wife was enduring it kindly until….until that glorious moment after the first vocal intro and then when the whole band kicks in and we hear the greatest expression of the ‘Iron Maiden gallop’…she actually stopped in her tracks, listened for a minute, nodded her head approvingly and said - I’ll never forget this - “wow. Ok. Yeah, I get it now”. Those are fun moments to witness.

[@travis6359]

Not to mention Cliff Burton's love of classical music shaped the entire way Metallica put songs together. He was a master at making stories out of songs, and it was beautiful. One of my favorites was how the entire musical sequence of transitions of Master of Puppets follows the theme of the song about addiction: Getting high, the crash, the desperation of needing another fix, and the chaos that ensues are all represented in how the music flows and transitions from one part to the next. In a way it's like listening to a very loud Beethoven composition.

Soldiers make some of the biggest sacrifices for humanity and they often are underappreciated for it by those who take normality, peace, and freedom for granted. My dad's story of a GI handing him a bar of chocolate in the closing days of WWII when he was a child in Germany has always stayed with me as an image of America not coming to Europe as conquerors, but as bridge builders for a better, more democratic and more freedom loving future. I have nothing but gratitude.

For anyone who doesn't really know this song is about a WW1 soldier getting hit by a mortar. Because of that he loses all 4 limbs, his speech, his hearing and his sight.

Years ago on tour, this song was a 15-20 minute song. They would set off flashbangs and fireworks to make you feel like you were in a war. Then it would get dark and silent and the opening guitar would start. As the beautiful guitar would play, the stage was lit in color. As it got closer to the chorus and the drums kicked in with the "darkness, imprisoning me..P", the stage would go to a full black and white strobe light display so you would feel the contrast of the pretty with the harsh reality.

He was infantry, then bomb demolition, he was in the middle of the South Pacific s**t! He received a Bronze Star for bravery. He never talked much about the war, but looking back it was obvious that his mind was forever...what's the right word? Tainted? Altered? To this day I remember one thing he did say, "the only heroes were those that didn't come back, the rest of us we are just survivors." Only those that have never seen war first hand, glorify it.

Ringo was a PHENOMENAL time keeper, legendarily good), Lars is very good at orchestrating his kit.

Dalton Trumbo considered Steve Martin for the role of Joe Bonham; Martin was dating Trumbo's daughter at the time.

That jaw-dropping moment you had at 14:38 and held for almost a minute was awesome. This song still does that to me 30+ years later.

I used to work for Dave Mustaine, from late `83 till mid `87. He became a solid friend to me. I was 17 yrs. old, a bedding guitarist with a friend`s dad that made some early video`s for Mtv, that is how I got work with Megadeth. Dave was obsessed with Metallica and I think he still is. This will sound nuts but I think the firing helped to create a mad genius, with a drinking problem that was inbsane. I drank with him beer for beer until sobriety 14 yrs now. I LOVE METALLICA! Well everything until the black album (their last great record imo.) MOP is probably the best Metal album EVER DONE, BY ANY BAND. This track and the video is pure gold , yet very real and disturbing.

i know what you mean. indeed and agreed on one of the greatest music videos. this was a huge risk for them. it was their first video, and it was something that was unlike anything MTV had played before or since. they had a world premiere for this and that was a big deal and then they played it in heavy rotation. at a time when MTV was a lot of hair and glam bands, this was a refreshing piece of art. i was kind of surprised that so many people caught on to this. i'd only known fans from sharing the tapes before....when they had zero radio airplay. they were also just about the only big band that allowed camera into their shows at the time, too...that's really how they made it...fans sharing tapes, word of mouth and the bootleg videos they allowed people to record. puppets was huge because of that, but justice just rocketed to the top thanks to this song and video.

Wonderful performance, especially given that it's rockers playing at like 8am.

Thank you for this analysis. I appreciate when people experience things outside of their typical genres and can find the beauty that is in it. Metal tends to carry a stigma with it that keeps people from diving in, and it's fine if people don't like it, not everyone has to like everything. But, I have found that when music professionals give it a chance, especially with Metallica, they really appreciate the complexity and depth of the music and its components. I've witnessed musicians driven to tears when listening to Metallica for the first time, responding with thoughts like, "I had no idea." or "This was fantastic!"

[@lttlejordan23]

ONE is a rock masterpiece. It is raw, gritty and unapologetic. This song not only shows off Metallica's writing prowess in those early years, but their mastery over their instruments. This was also their very first music video as well. The stripped down visuals, coupled with the imagery from the movie and them just "jamming" (so to speak), gives this very garage/basement vibe where these guys are just in-tune with their music. Also, the subject matter is so important. Basically depicting the real human cost of war, while using scenes from Johnny Got His Gun to drill home the message. Truly masterfully done. It is quite heavy, which is why I don't blame you for having such a hard time garhering your thoughts on it. So much to take in. But as you continue to listen to the song, it really starts shine. Everything from the raw vocals, the writing and how the song continues to ramp up as the story they are telling goes on - excellence.

[@AntonGully]

They bought the rights to the film eventually, so they could use it for promotion without paying royalties. I remember watching the movie back in the late 70s/early 80s on late night TV, knowing nothing about it and being absolutely floored. I don't think much gets better these days than was achieved back in the 70s for movies. The SFX are better but the stories are largely drab by comparison.

[@rafaelrp07]

The reason this song is so good is because Metallica's first bassist (who died in a car accident) studied classical music. He was influenced by Sebastian Bach and brought the tempo and other aspects of classical music into Metallica's songs. The basic rhythm of metal is 4/4, but the drum beat and the band throughout the song oscillate and made this singular transitions based on this mixture of heavy metal and the influence of certain aspects of classical music. Maybe that's what got you so intrigued in some parts of the song.

I can't imagine that the band would have wanted any other reaction to this, other than the one that you had/gave. I really enjoy watching your reactions to these songs/videos. You seem to be giving honest, true, thoughtful, insightful responses, that, many people have when they first hear/see the same things. I hope that you continue. Thanks for sharing.

The first ever - and best - music video made for a heavy metal song, and an incredible song.
