One by Metallica is in my mind the best Metal song ever! Rodrigo (Sanchez) and Gabriela (Quintero) are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based, Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music. Rodrigo y Gabriela beat both the Arctic Monkeys and Johnny Cash to number one in the Irish charts. Here is their version of One with an amazing string section adding to the intensity of the song.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela - One (right-click, save target as)
The tune clocks in for five mins but play it to the end to find a two minute interview with the band!
