On a ww1 kick at the moment, reading The Eastern Front by Nick Lloyd having done the Western past year, and what better way to compliment than to have a listening party than the iconic and still unparalleled 'One'

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_(Metallica_song)

The third single from ...And Justice for All where Lars and James demonstrate their prowess in progressive writing with a chorusless multi-movement piece that features samples from 'Johnny Got His Gun'. Filmed in black and white and 7:27 in length being a firmly middle finger to the music industry, this may have beem the last hoorah of a band about to breakthrough to the big time. Or it may have been a reaction to loosing their influential bassist. Whatever it is, what does it mean to you? Who remembers the first time you heard it?

Happy Monday !metallica

This one takes me back to high school for certain. Learning that opening riff on my first guitar, practicing my tapping on the upper frets, and being in aww at the sheer complexity of this song. Undoubtedly what drew me to Metallica and still does to this day. I've seen it plenty live, and the pyro is always amazing too, leaving me in a state of aww at these axe wizards

Sadly I know Jason was so mixed out that he is almost inaudible, but this is what sculpted many a guitar tone in the 90s too. Pantera, Mudvayne, Machine Head all owe an immense amount to this track imo

Anyway. I'm such a nerd I've stuck on the and justice for Jason version for comparison now
