Retro Video of the Week: "One" by Metallica
This
was most of America's introduction to Metallica. They had become underground superstars with
virtually no airplay. This was the
band's first video, as well as their first song that cracked the Top 40 (or the
Top 100, for that matter). The video is
particularly memorable because it features scenes and dialogue from the movie
Johnny Got His Gun, which is about a soldier whose mind is functional, but who
lost his limbs, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and all of his senses in a mortar
blast. Rough day. On the bright side, he didn't spend the entire Super Bowl keeping track of how much money he was losing because a future Hall of Fame quarterback standing in the endzone couldn't throw the ball away within fifteen yards of a receiver. Metallica would also have been a better halftime choice than Madonna. Anyway, since it's Metallica, the video is
not able to be embedded. So, click here to
watch it.
