[SP]

METALLICA - ONE.

I have never seen such an emotive clip, it tells a nightmarish story of a supposedly braindead soldier who whilst cannot hear or speak, still has an active brain.

[Phillips]

Rammstein always make great music vids

im very concerned about some of the videos mentioned.

How you could put that ahead of 'ONE' by Metallica is beyond me.

Ive seen people cry from this clip. It is the only clip ive seen that resembles a movie, and its potential to move a grown man is tremendous.

Im assuming (more like hoping) that its just a result of not seeing the clip.

Go to youtube, watch the clip from beginning to end, then come back and say thats not worthy of top 3 status.

 

[Phillips]

what is 'ONE' by Metallica about

ive never seen the clip

 

[nigel]

One by metallica is essentially a song about war.

its clip weaves in dialogueand a mini film through the instrumental songparts.

To summarise, At first we see a man leaving his family for war.

we then see a bomb blast in his bunker

Then we see him 'wake up' in a hospital room, he is confused as his eyes, mouth nose legs and arms are blown up. he doesnt know what has happened and if hes dead or alive, in his mind he calls his father and God for help. There is many good qoutes around this part.


hospital staff believe he is braindead, they operate on him not knowing he can feel each and every bit, he is in agony.

His father appears to him in a dream, reminds him he knows morse code. The soldier manages to bob his head physically in morse code.

staff get curious, refer him to an army, army general is mortified "hes saying kill me, over and over again, kill me"

army and doctors shirk responsibility.

Nurse tries to end his life mercifully, but fails.

Soldier ends up on life support not knowing where he is, what is happening, then remembers his past life.

Then it appears he goes mad by his mutterings.

Clip appears to end with his family back home grieving thinking he has passed away.

Best clip hands down.

'i dnt know if im dead or remembering or if im alive and dreaming.....although how can i tell if im dreaming if i cant even tell if im awake or asleep"

brilliant stuff.

3. Coldplay — The Hardest Part.
Awesome video sees a Don Johnson insipred Chris and the Coldplay gang spliced into an eighties TV talk show, featuring a semi-naked 25 year old guy and 84 year-old woman. Hilarity follows to the astonishment of the crowd (average age: 65). The fact that it is also Coldplay's best ever song (don't lie —it is) makes it one for the record books.

thats one of the worst clips ive ever seen

and im not lying when i say, Coldplay are utter sh*t

 

[Phillips]

just watched the 'one' music clip and it is very good, great song also

personally my favourite are,

Rock the Casbah - The Clash

Freak on a leash - Korn

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I read the revue of the Metallica clip but I won't bother watching it.

If I want to feel depressed I'll stick on a Bobby Goldsboro song.
