    1. I was 13. I was taping music videos on VHS and watched the music video debut of Metallica’s “One” as it happened. It was the full length version with the scenes from Johnny Got His Gun, and I was glued to the set for all seven minutes. With Johnny’s voice fading (“s…o…s…”) into the darkness as the video ended, I was gripped by all kinds of intense feelings…sadness, anger, fear, confusion, relief, regret. It was metal, and I loved it. I had spent the previous two years wearing out my Def Leppard and Motley Crue tapes and really digging glam rock/metal in general, but this was my first exposure to real metal. Over time I’d eventually discover Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, and my love of thrash.
