I remember exactly where I was, in my car and what stoplight I was at in my hometown the first time I heard the video version (with clips from the movie) of this song. Hearing the haunting voices panning from speaker to speaker in my car. I was in a trance. I just sat there and let my mind be blown.

[@bigmatt2896]

you know a song is fucking amazing when it stops you in your tracks and covers you in goose bumps

[@davehughesfarm7983]

I was on a hay ride in small town Missouri and older high schooler had a jam box and 98.9 the rock was playing it out of Kansas City.. I heard this and thought WTFF is that? I Was hooked..I was in 7th grade..Will never forget it..

[@aquamarine0023]

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.

[@deli6458]

I remember seeing the "World Premiere" as MTV billed it then... good days indeed back in those years...

[@danielgreen7961]

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...

@@purplebeard1526 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.

I've said this before but... The sheer excitement of this video dropping was incredible! They'd never done a video before. I was 11 or 12 watching this for the first time on Rage at some early hour. It was magic.

"Now I have the bass guitar to play that" Oh boy...we don't even wanna start that discussion. Again. But One is actually the only song I still hear the bass in.

There we go. Have Alex react to And Justice for Jason.

I remember the first time I showed this to one of my friends. We were at a party at his house, the last ones standing, playing table football or whatever that game is called. We were jamming out to this song, and when it got to the solo, he suddenly looked at me awe-struck, his expression exaggarated by wonder and all the drinks we’ve had, and asked: “What is this?” Amazing memories.

This is the only Metallica song that gives me lots of shivers whenever i listen to it. Tell me i’m not the only person.

Korn covered this song. It’s dope!! Don’t forget Kill em All and Ride the Lightning.

[@Acroanidd]

Korns version of this is as good or better in my opinion. Not that this version isn't phenomenal because it is, the Korn version just has it's own flair and is extremely good too.

Korn did a great job with it, but it was too short for me...but I know it had to be to fit in the time alotted.

Johnny Got His Gun. One of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. The worst scene in the entire movie is there's a part where you don't know if he's dreaming, hallucinating on all the drugs they're pumping him with or having a genuine spiritual experience but he's talking to Jesus and he tells Jesus what's happened to him and what people are doing to each other in the war and Jesus just looks at him in shock and horror and says: "I'm sorry, I can't help you." One of the darkest movie scenes ever.

I rewrote the lyrics back in 1988 and turned it into a breakup song.

I rewrote the lyrics back in 1989 and turned it into a song about my last beer while lost in the woods.

The live version in the S&M 2 album is more intense in my opinion. But I still love the original
