Customer Reviews My point basically anger u can not take away from the fact that metallica's song's like this make them the best the song is really awsome one of my five favorite's kirk's solo is awsome and of course the bigest standout in this song the double drum foot petal's with the heavyest bass and gutair as possible to turn this song in to a medolic hard master piece by Metallica. One is a master piece no matter what james vocal's and tone of the lyrics set in this song display how metallica went to the next level on there own even though overall people will not agree with st. The single one On the oringal cd named one by metallica it only had 3 songs on it so who ever is saying it had breadfan on it is so wrong breadfan was on a tape called harvester of sorrow the cd called one only had one a live version of welcome home saniturm and a live version of for whom the bells toll. This song needs no intro (but the intro in cool - nice pun!) It is the best song by Metallica, and Metallica are the best band, so logically it is the best song ever written in the entire history of the universe ever ever ever amen period. This song is the best. The song starts with a clean guitar riff which is slightly dark and atonal. This is followed by some high reverb clean guitar from Kirk, which fits in with the harmony. This is the shadow of the vocals , which is followed by the chorus with some powerful and amazing harmonies and chords, with a complicated guitar arrangement and an even more complicated drum beat (quite original by Lars - but he's probably the only one in the world who can play it!). After this cool, chilling intro, the vocals starts - with lyrics based upon a soldier being crippled in a war and cannot stand life anymore, and is trying to understand his situation - e. g. comparing him self with a baby in the womb, which cannot survive when pulled out prematurely - just like his drip pumps life that he feels to him. The songs sounds dark but strangely bright yet sad and cool. The second verse is simmilar, followed by more fat guitar solos until the peice speeds up into a distortion riff, with powerful and angry vocals showing how the war has taken everything from him and left him with life in hell. This is followed by what seems to be a musical depiction of hell, with fast and heavy guitars and the most awesome guitar solo ever by Kirk which is at the height of this - also showing how damn good a player he is - easily comparible with Hedrix, Clapton and Santana. The peice continues on the riff without another spoken lyric, with another solo before ending abruptly after another fast riff passage - an overdoes of adrenaline on a disk - you can really feel the anger and if you dont have chills every time you listen to it then your either German or have defunctionate vasoconstriction muscles. The best song ever - and even better when performed on the S&M ablum. If you havnt heard it then i suggest you do so now or miss out on a forgetten era of Metallica's music - whether a fan or not. Get it now, or if youve already got it, listen to it again now and spend five minuites contemplated how good it is. .
