One

Metallica won the Grammy prize in 1990, with One. In this song, they are the 7th greatest solo. In the album “... And Justice for All”.During 19 seconds, Hetfield plays clean guitar and after Kirk joins with her clean guitar, but in the pont we are with electric guitar. This song is about the novel “Johnny got his gun “ (You can see the movie too). To make a summary, the story is about a man who is sees the hell of war.



The Lyrics

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops it there

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh god, help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmines has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

  2. Yeah, I play this song in Guitar Hero, but not Guitar Hero 3, I play it in Guitar Hero Metallica. The song is easier in Metallica, but the solo is very different. In Metallica, we have 40 songs of metallica and 10 others songs.
