Metallica ONE: Song That Changed Metal Forever

[@AndriyVasylenko]

This video could've been twice as long, but reason has taken over. Anyway, the full scrip is available on my Patreon, if you're curious www.patreon.com/posts/31939722 I hope it's worth the wait, and you want more songs analized like this. And yeah, search for "metallica one demo" and "one james riff tape" for futher studying \m/

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

I remember before Hardwired came out, I saw a fan online who thought the song Murder One was going to be a sequel to One. Everybody knew beforehand that the song was going to be a tribute to Lemmy, except for this guy. He had this whole theory about how it was going to be about killing the soldier in One as to pretty much put him out of his misery. I felt kinda bad for the guy because he had this whole thing built up in his head about what he thought this song would be, while literally everybody else (correctly) knew what it was really gonna be about.

This was basically the song that has gotten me into metal. Many years ago I played this song as a young kid in guitar hero three. It was my favorite song in that game. My dad got the album ajfa on iTunes and I have ever since loved metal.

[@oak5522]

Maybe my favorite Metallica song… a sober and austere intro clean main riff, a bridge in D major thats makes us think of peaceful and beautiful memories before war and violence, a perfect and solid interlude before a strong and dramatic end. A real masterpiece. And the solo is great.

Great video! It drives me crazy that the band NEVER plays the heavy interlude the way it is on the album. On this video you hear a quick piece of the section I'm talking about from 12:20 to 12:23. To me it's one of the best moments of any Metallica song they've ever written yet they don't play it live.

[@voxterh.6166]

I love that part so much, and the heavy interlude overall.

[@ChuckDare]

This is actually the song that got me into metal over 12 years ago now. I was 8 years old when I heard this song. And is was so amazingly composed it was able to hook me into the genre after listening to pretty much nothing but Queen and the Beatles for the prior part of my life. It's not a song I listen to a whole lot anymore but one I'll always have love for because it changed my whole life within 10 simple minutes.

[@EricBishard]

I've been saying this for years, I think that once someone hears the idea that One changed everything, they get it, but I think it's great that you played a bit of "Californication" because they are one of the bands that I point to as an example of bands that benefit from the idea of mixing power ballads and harder rock together. I'm not a huge metal guy, but it's obvious. I'm 45 years old. BTW
