METALLICA "One" on Grammy

I like to read comments under the video...
Abandoned Mines Nova Scotia: "I cannot express how MONUMENTAL this moment was for metal back in 1989. This was the first time metal (not poppy hair bands) was given the stage at the Grammys. All of us teen boys in our black t-shirts and leather jackets were poised in front of the TV, across the country, to see this moment. It was eerie. Hoping for the best. At first James seemed nervous - out of place - and it felt cringey. This was a stuffy room full of the pop industry in tuxedos and dresses. Sitting there likely smirking at 'how did they let this grubby filth in here' . The paradox was palpable. But things started to pick up...
First glimmer of hope: Cut this shit out from me" James didn't censor the lyric, and the network didn't bleep it! Okayyyy... I remember my heart started beating faster. The boys were getting into the groove now. Fuck it.
THEE Moment of Ownage: While the boys were hammering it out, something literally changed. I still tear up a little seeing it, because watching it above, it still is as clear as day for me, 30 years later... around 4:15 , coming out of the first solo, James catches a glimpse of the crane camera in the corner of his eye... at first you can see him catch it... then something changes... he then LOCKS EYES with it. After not paying attention to the cameras (or even looking up at the snooty audience), suddenly James seems to have a moment of clarity. He's looking at US. The fans at home! Completely breaks the fourth wall. I swear to god, you could feel it. Then he seems to just say "FUCK THIS SHIT - LET's DO THIS" with a distinct shake of his fist at US. Us at home. At this point I the band just lets go, and goes into beast mode. Fuck the industry. Fuck this fancy ass audience. We're doing this for the guys at home. And what you witness from this point is Metallica as real as if they were at their own gig in front of us. They take out the rest of the song with absolute guts and blood... and James now looks straight at the audience. No more looking at the floor. Oh. My. Living. Fuck. You cannot believe what it felt like that night."

I watched it that night, and they sucked shit at the Grammy's.
I was embarrassed the next day when one of my teachers mentioned it to me at lunch.
That was as bad as when they had Lady Gaga sing with them.

It's sad neither Razor nor Sacrifice were elected to play on that Grammy.
