The song was based on a movie called "Johnny got his gun'" however, the song wasn't written for the movie since the movie is from 1971 and the song was released in 1988.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The song was based on the book. They wanted to use footage from the movie but realized it would be easier to buy it. So they bought it.

Fun Fact: "One" was the first Metallica song for which a music video was created; it debuted on on Headbanger's Ball, a late night heavy metal show on MTV on January 20, 1989.

[@Lolquake]

They also released 3 albums before this, during the height of MTV with absolutely no music videos, and virtually no radio play, and still became a huge band by this time.

[@WatchingFromWork6636]

They were one of the last "top" bands to join the "Video Era" wanting people to instead form their own ideas from their songs. When they finally made a video they went all the hell in.

[@papa_xan]

It's so hard to imagine that anyone hasn't heard Metallica. Next year will be their their 40th anniversary. I sure hope you guys will explore some of their massive discography, starting from the early albums, especially Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. They were the metal band that every other band wanted to be in the 80's, but nobody really came close.

[@keithboyd9582]

This song was not made for a movie. The movie is called Johnny Got His Gun and came out in the late 60's. It was an anti war movie. It's about a man that goes to war and gets hit by a bomb. When he wakes he finds out that he has no arms, no legs, can't speak, can't hear, and can't talk. He's trying to tell the people to kill him. And he remembers his dad telling him to communicate by banging his head and doing SOS. This song came out in the late 80's.

A tidbit that often gets missed by reactors to this song. When the double kick drums start it is to simulate the sound of machine gun fire and grows more intense as the guitars join in. The whole intent of that section of the song is to simulate the chaos of war via their instruments.

[@tammyglasstetter5712]

Actually, The Band of Metallica bought the Rights to the old movie to keep from having to pay royalties Everytime the music video aired.

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

The cool thing about this song is that it doesn't immediately scare away non-metalheads, since it starts so softly and melodically, with meaningful lyrics that are easy to make out. Then, with the new listener on board, it carefully ramps up so little at a time that it never really loses the listener. Whoosh, you like metal now! Orion (it's an instrumental) next?

Something you might like to check out is a Rock Band from Monterrey MX - The Warning (Now signed with Lava Records) This impressive trio of sisters - Daniela 20 (guitar, piano and vocals), Paulina 18 (drums, piano and vocals), and Alejandra 15 (bass, piano and vocals), have elaborate musical affinities. They have participated in some of the most important rock festivals in Mexico such as Vive Latino, Hell & Heaven, Mother of All, Pal Norte, Force Fest and Rock al Parque in Colombia. They have also opened for Def Leopard (2 nights) & The Killers (2 nights) It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page kzbin.infoplaylists Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) 
are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote them Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert Dust to Dust kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipask3puo9CCn7c Ugh kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3m4q2yah5iarck Dull Knives kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqWQm4GNZshkipI Red Hands Never Fade kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWK7ZHWurbqCeM0 QOTMS kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXmxYWCXp92mrpY Here are some covers they've done - Enter Sandman 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5PShox4brF5gLs Resistance (Muse) 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIq4ZWWvba2Smpo Kickstart My Heart 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJKwYqB4lseUacU Atlas Rise 2020 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJnLeGh7nqucr6M Check them out.

As mentioned by Chrisj they just signed with Lava/Republic the only band from Mexico and only Rock Band from Latin America to ever sign directly with a major U.S. record label and they got complete creative control of their music as they are singer-songwriters which are never given to a newly signed artist, that tell you a little bit about their talent. Highly recommend TW. Chrisj great info on your post

I rented this movie from my local video store (I’m old, get off my lawn) when I was a teenager, after this video came out. It was the most depressing 3 hours of movie I’ve ever watched. When it was over, I didn’t want to move, I didn’t want to do anything. I just rolled over and went to sleep. I can still remember how I felt. Metallica was against doing any sort of videos, until this. When they did a video they wanted it to be more than just some generic crap. I’d say they succeeded.

actually they did this song as a homage and telling of the plot to the anti-war 1939 Novel and the 1971 flop Movie "Johnny Got His Gun" and because they added clips from the 1971 film they helped turn Johnny Got His Gun into a Popular Cult Classic film

[@ToyutahLifein]

I saw them 3 times before this came out. It was them and the other three metal bands for a while. One that should have been in to make it 5 bands, is Testament". Some say they sound like Black Sabbath. They came out one year before this movie did in 1970, and had 4 amazing albums in a row. Jason Robards was in great movies for decades too.

The main one that is wrestled in the US is folkstyle where you are simply trying to pin your opponent on their back, but in freestyle, you are trying to "toss/throw" your opponent.
