- Today, we got to introduce Alexis to the video for One by Metallica. This is one of my favorite videos of all time and definitely my favorite Metallica video. As a lifelong fan dating back to the start of Metallic in the 80's, it was awesome to introduce Alexis to greatness and to see how pumped she got watching the video. She figured out the premise very quickly and at the end was in full Metallica mode!!

Our favorites lines from the song:
1. Can't tell if this is true or a dream
2. Body my holding cell

Hands down one of the greatest metal songs ever written. This song will forever stand the test of time.
Jason was a part of arguably one of their best albums with Justice and they did him so dirty. Damn what a great song.
Couldn't agree more
Great song and album but I prefer the first 3 metallica
My favourite Metallica. Also, Jason's backing vocals...
Top 10 song ever
Watching Alexis with her eyes glued to the screen and barely breathing was amazing. Anyone can say she really was getting the message. Well done, both of you. Kind regards.
The transformation is almost complete ...
She said she felt like she was holding her breath during the final minutes and I had to laugh. I feel that way every single time I watch it and I’ve seen it several hundred times. Still among the most intense experiences you can have while simply viewing an electronic device.
Watching this at 52 years old, 40 years an outright metal head and I still have tears streaming down my face every time I watch this video. Keep up the great education process that you have going. Love and respect from Northern Ireland 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
Now try Alexis on Motörhead's '1916' and Iron Maiden's 'Paschendale'. Lemmy's voice with those lyrics and the music = river of tears!
@@flickeringboxofficial muhahahaha...
@@ps5392 really only several hundred considering how many years its been since it was release you mustn't like it very much
Fun fact: the movie in the background is called: ‘Johnny Got His Gun’ and Metallica is legally owner of that movie… they bought all the licenses for this videoclip.
This clip: MASTERPIECE!
I've seen it, amazingly disturbing and sad. Known a few grown men who couldn't finish watching it, refused....hit them to hard.
A very interesting screen play.
I read the book when I was in middle school. Excellent read.
@@notyourbusiness393 Dalton Trumbo was one hell of an author.
Yes, you are correct. They bought the right's to the movie itself, just for this video, to send the exact message, that it does, to those, who understand the lyric's, and what they stand for. And, they wrote this song, specifically with this movie/book story in mind. Now, in the movie, they show a mortar shell, doing the damage to him. But, in the book, it's literally an actual landmine, that does it, as they say in the lyric's...
I came here to make this comment. Incredible video.
one of the most impactful scenes (that most people miss) is the final one. It shows those at home toasting and singing, moving on with life while the wounded veterans are shuffled into the back room out of site and forgotten about.
You get it.
That is all.
The neocons sing on
I couldn't believe he stopped it right in the middle of that...
Fuck.
As the old salty dog in the room, I gotta admit it is freaking awesome to see a young person not only understand one of the greatest metal songs of all time, but she seem to really appreciate it!
👍
It’s crazy to think about this being Metallicas 1st video!! Imagine having to try and top this masterpiece!!
@@johnthompson6374 1st video to top.
Not album
Never did top this video.
1989 my first video here, I cried now man!! We rocked back then!
@@johnthompson6374 pay attention. He said "VIDEO", not "ALBUM". That aside, all their music is great in their own ways anyway. Metallica doesn't make music for 1 target audience anymore, and that's what I love about them. I personally love their first 5 albums and their latest one, but I still have to give everything from Load to Hardwired a try since I haven't yet.
I'm 47. I was a kid when this came out and I was hooked. My dad was a combat veteran (Vietnam) and asked me what i was playing on my guitar in my room one day. "One" was one of the first things i learned. He actually liked it. Check out "Disposable Heroes". That one kind of pissed him off, but after explanation, he understood the sentiment. Great reaction ❤
THANK GOD FOR YOU GUYS DOING THIS!! For years I have shared the same frustration with the feeble, wrong headed guesses at what was going on. I’m a 52 year old metal head also and man was this a relief to see and your brilliant daughter gets it right out of the gate! Well done. Subbed for life 😎👍🏼
Not Birch's daughter or any relation for that matter. Go watch a livestream, the first one (?) I think addresses the particulars of the working partnership.
So interesting that she said she was holding her breath.
To this day, 30 years later, I’m always holding my breath (without realizing it) as it’s racing towards the end. Still get chills, and I honestly shake a little bit.
This is a masterpiece.
I have watched so many reaction videos over the years and while entertaining they all seem like a copy paste but you guys bring a fresh feel to it with personal stories and experiences. Truly a joy to watch your videos.
That is very kind of you to say. We are having a blast and we will let the chips fall where they may.
Yes, authenticity goes a long way.
Born in 76, a metal head since probably 84. My daughter is 14. After seeing this, I'm going to sit her down and see what she thinks of this song! This was fantastic. So glad to see a young person get what is a masterpiece of my heyday metal! Thanks guys!
I still miss Jason newstead been a fan of Metallica since they debuted October 1981 after MTV came out of one August 1981 u******** believable this song is s*** it. It kills I've seen Metallica live so many times. Unbelievable. Anyways, I mean God Metallica what can you say? It's like AC/DC in Van Halen I mean s*** they're the best in the world. I don't know what to say anymore. I'm 57 years all I live in South Florida. They 106 is my station and they just kill it. They kill it when they play Metallica God I love it. Got to turn that s*** up
The movie playing in the background is called "Johnny Got His Gun" shows the brutality of war very well, such a great song and video this is legendary Metallica
And Metallica owns this movie now, they bought the rights
Written by Dalton Trumbo
The full movie is here in youtube
READ THE BOOK !
My first Metallica experience was watching this video on MTV as a teenager. Few songs have ever impacted me as much as this one.
The definition of Living Hell.
Metallica is who got me into metal back in the late 80's and are still my all time favorite band. This song hits so hard and the video makes it hit even harder. I agree with you, Burch...watching people not get the meaning irritates me too.
We had a long discussion afterwards about Cliff, RIP
@@flickeringboxofficial There was a recent interview where James and Kirk talked about Cliff for a while. And they just recently came out with a new album called "72 seasons" which centers around the first 18 years of life. ruclips.net/video/Rh7KkjyjbCQ/видео.html
"72 Seasons came out of a book I was reading about childhood, basically, and sorting out childhood as an adult. And 72 seasons is basically the first 18 years of your life. How do you evolve and grow and mature and develop your own ideas and identity of self after those first 72 seasons?
"Some things are more difficult than others - you know, some things you can't unsee and they're with you for the rest of your life, and other things you're able to rewind the tape and make a new tape in your life. So that's the real interesting part for me, is how you're able to address those situations as an adult and mature." - James Hetfield
I remember waiting for the premiere of this video on MTV & being completely blown away right from the beginning.
Interesting side note: Metallica actually bought the rights to "Johnny Got His Gun" in order to include these clips in the music video. I believe they still own them to this day.
I'm pretty sure they also bought the rights to The Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. They been using it as the opening song for the live shows since at least the early 90s.

Alexis was totally engrossed in that song and video. Great Reaction.
I know...think she is starting to like metal!
Have to say this is one of the best reactions to "ONE" I have seen. It's not very often you see a reactor get the narrative completely from beginning to end on first viewing.
one of few metal songs/videos that actually makes me cry for the power of message
When I was 16 I saw metallica on the "and justice for all tour" and they were amazing. Seen then many times since and they are just as good now.
Saw them on the same tour in Sydney, Australia. Fantastic concert- couldn't hear for 2 days
Saw them blow Queensryche off the stage on this tour.
The beauty of the transition to heavy to match the man's frustration.... And the drums sounding like machine guns.... And the guitar solo sounding chaotic like his mind spiraling.
The 2nd half instrumental of this song is just pure gold.. gives me chills every time I hear it...
I remember hearing this song and feeling the pain and the beauty at the same time, and then I saw the video and I was forever changed.....This song is ONE of the greatest ever!
Yes! A young lady that got it!. I was 19 when this album came out. And Justice For All is hands down my favorite album! Every single song is awesome!
I was 15 when this album dropped. So, you old, I'm not.😬😅
I was 5, so obviously I missed it at release in 1988. I discovered this song , and metal in general, in the late 90s.
Since then I've always said And Justice for All is Metallica's best album. The Black album was the beginning of their downfall, contrary to popular opinion, I'd say.
I was almost 18 when this was released
Amen 🙏
The line "He's the product of your profession not mine" had to be the most chilling line in that movie I had goosebumps
It never fails to amaze me how few people who react to this do not actually understand the story being told. Thanks for getting it and allowing your daughter to experience this masterpiece.
Her reaction was absolutely priceless. Totally into the music and video. I've been a fan of Metallica for years and her reaction kept my attention. It is so nice to see an open mind to music and the stories being told.
Great job guys and thank you 👍👍❤❤
For people that get and understand this song, it is truly emotional.
When this came out and MTV actually played videos, this was was on. Being in high school at the time and living in the whole hair metal 80s band thing going on my parents didn't really like any of this or care for me listening to it but let me be and we would talk about some of it. Watching this video my mom came in the room and wondered about it and the heavy music but i showed her the video and she watched as I told her it was about an old movie. She then recognized it as a book she read in school in the early 60s. Things like this made them even more at ease about me listening to heavy metal cause it wasn't all sex drugs and rocknroll.
Unfortunately, my father came into my room when I was listening to Blackened right when the lyrics, "See our mother put to death, See our mother die" played. He wasn't happy until I explained about it being about man killing mother earth. Not patricide.
This is one of Metallica's best songs. It still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
As a Metal fan and history fan, this is by far the best Music Video of all time. It brings to the forefront the horrors of war and also it is a great song.
I was an M1A1 tank crewman with the US Army, stationed in Germany at the time this album came out. You better believe this was in my earholes constantly (this song, and the rest of the album), especially for our winter gunnery in JAN 1989. "One" (along with Iron Maiden's "The Trooper") felt like it was written for us, and although I think most of us were pretty confident we'd give as good as we got if the WP came streaming down the Fulda Gap, we also realized it could be an absolute death trap. This song really seems to capture that, and when it was married to _Johnny Got His Gun_ for the video, it became a timeless classic. Side note, when we crossed the berm into Iraq a couple of years later, we had "The Shortest Straw" playing over our tank's intercom.
Alexis nailed the anxiety and anticipation that permeates the entire song and especially the video. Great job.
Thank you for your service!!!!!
Greatest song of all time. So unbelievably gut wrenching 😢
This whole album is awesome, blackened, shortest straw, just so good. Awesome reaction
when the song was only 3 years to me and my buddies it was already considered old music. a classic we heard on our own parties. everybody banged to the two instrumentual solos. back then people listened
Good old days
I really love that you guys broke this down in such a real way.
Loved this so much! This video still gives me goosebumps 20 years later. Yall are awesome!
Great song but coupled with this video its an immensely powerful piece. Perfection!
Brand new subscriber! I LOVE the way a fellow old school metal head like myself is showing/teaching the youngsters the best music decade in my opinion. Love the girls' reactions ❤🤘
I am shocked she caught the meaning of this song so quickly, as was stated most reaction channels don’t pick up on this until later or if at all the meaning of this song. Kudos on the catching so early
Absolutely amazing reaction and kudos to Alexis for getting this so quickly. I can tell you the energy and power of this song live is something to behold.
That video always hits me deep. I don't know how you managed to deepen it but I thank you *so much!*
Eyes have been flowing since near the start. I needed to cry about something outside of myself. Thanks again both of you, Metallica, and everyone involved in that movie.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB GUYS, AMAZING REACTION!!!!! PLEASE KEEP ON GOING WITH METALLICA 🤘🏼🎶
One of the most haunting videos and song ever!
100% correct AOF.
This song/video never fails to give me chills. Excellent reaction. She gets it
Taking from a movie called: Johnny Got His Gun which I rented back in 89 when this video came out! My college roommates and I including our girlfriends were balling our eyes after it was over😭😭😭😭 we all had people in the Military particularly the ARMY and MARINE CORPS!!! One of my roommates uncle served in Vietnam along with my dad in the ARMY and they said one guy got almost blown to bits stepping on an IED and both arms and legs were gone but he did not survive! THANK YOU TO ALL OUR COMBAT VETERANS AND CURRENT MILITARY SERVING IN WAR ZONES IN PARTICULAR❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I simply love Metallica ! Best band ever.
This is more than a video, just the song is a masterpiece of metal
First reaction I have seen from you.... and subbed... this was fanatic well done. And thank you sir for not spoiling it, but letting her get there on her own.... "each reactor faces music on their own" to paraphrase the father
That was so good! Love you guys.
This song is a masterpiece. Great reaction! I'm glad you listened to the song (movie) and understood what was going on. 🤘
One thing people don't usually notice is that the double bass drum and guitar rhythms also spell out S.O.S. in Morse code, which is what the injured soldier was trying to communicate.
Love seeing an OG sharing his love for metal, keep it up! Alexis was all in! haha
The two of you discussing this made me remember one of my many favorite movies. Jacob's Ladder, I feel it also stands the test of time. I truly believe art, sharing stories, and open conversation can save the future. Grateful to have found your channel.
I love this song and video. You can hear the song build and crazy guitar solo as he is being driven mad and the chaos builds.
Like War Pigs by Black Sabbath, you can't deny the truth and power of what is being communicated. Great art. I love it. Thanks for the react!
I LOVED seeing her reaction, and props for being able to follow the plot! 🤘
I remember when this album was released, me and my buddies were on a rotation to NTC( Fort Irwin, CA). We were able to bring some personal items with us and one of us brought a boom box and one of us brought the newly released And Justice For All album . We rode around NTC blasting this whole record. This was pre- Iraqi freedom . This whole album hits home with me so hard. Love you Jack , Paulie, and Chuck.
This video gives me chills everytime
Love the drum work lars is amazing. Great reaction....epic song❤
Such a brilliant song off a really good album... saw the ...And Justice tour, Queensryche as the opener... absolutely amazing live...
The song was based on Dalton Trumbo's book, Johnny Got His Gun, with footage of the movie of the same name. Metallica bought the rights to the film, in order to use the clip. The book, film, and song explore the horrors of modern warfare and, I think, the nature of life.
Agreed... but perhaps, the nature of man, more so than of life.
Finally, people doing reactions that get the music! I've watched several of your reactions and love it! Props to you two!
This is such a fantastic song. The end of the song with the instruments is the man going insane in his mind. Incredible song writing.
It is a song expressing the ONE thing EVERY soldier fears.
Yeah she picked up on it quickly
This was probably the first Metallica song I ever heard when I was about 5. I still think it is one of their best.
You should show her what this song looks like live!
The first reaction to this song I have seen where the reactor really tried to follow the song and not just tried to put up a "good" reaction for the audience. Just discovered your honest channel today - love it. Also this is probably the most emotional metal song ever written and a masterpiece at the same time. Can't describe how I adore it.
I e seen this video dozens of times, & listened to the song hundreds. Relivi g this with / through Alexis’ experience… I also found myself holding my breath, with her & for her. Outstanding job young lady to decipher this message. It’s emotionally exhausting to watch the video.
Metallica is one of my favorite bands. Especially this song. I’ve seen them a few times in concert. And they sang this song during their performance. They know how to put on a good show. Lol.
She’s 1 smart cookie 😊
I see what you did there 😏
I've not seen that in decades. I was crying, and I could see the emotion in both your eyes. Classic. Ta
I've only just found your channel but i'm binging your content and really really love the dynamic of mix of friendship/ father- daughter/ coworker/ teacher- student things going on... but he actually went and got her a for real cookie!!! 🤣🤣🤣 now you guys are my favorite reactors EVER.
Much love from Australia ❤❤
I always will watch YT reactions to this song whenever it is the original (official) version with clips from the movie. I do that because I'm very interested to see if the reactors, especially younger ones, comprehend the meaning and/or message of the video. Like others have commented, Alexis is such an intelligent young lady to be able to understand, and rather quickly, what is going on with the combination of the lyrics and movie clips. I am truly impressed, and you, Burch, have done both her and this music video a great service by exposing her to this. Thank you.
As a 23-year Army veteran (Infantryman) with a total of 4 combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, this video of "One" is, for me, much more difficult to actually watch than it is to hear the actual song from the album, primarily because of the movie clips. But, I do watch reactor's reactions to this video because I want to know if they actually get it. When they do, I feel that it validates them and the message of the song. I lost a very good friend to an IED while we were deployed together and know others who were seriously wounded by IEDs as well. The thoughts of the wounded Soldier in the movie are very distressing (as they should be), especially when he cries to his mother "I'm having a nightmare and I can't wake up!" It takes a lot to suppress my own "water works" when seeing that after the experience of visiting a couple of wounded friends in the combat hospital at Kandahar Airfield.
Again, thank you both.
Now, I would like to make two recommendations for future reactions....
1. Probably the most reacted to video on RUclips: "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish from their performance at the 2013 Wacken Metal Festival. It may help to find a version of this one that includes lyrics. A truly sonic experience.
2. If you have the patience for a long video, try "Illumination Theory" by Dream Theater from their DVD "Breaking The Fourth Wall; Live From The Boston Opera House." This is a progressive metal band that probably has more collective musical talent than any band that is currently performing, and this particular performance includes an orchestra and choir. Lyrics are not necessary to be included in this video because they're relatively easy to understand...but they are thought-provoking.
Take Care!
Looking forward to future reactions!
You should let her react to Fade to Black. That is one of my all time favorite Metallica songs. I've listened to it hundreds of times and it still makes me stop and think.
I think Creepin Death next and then Fade to Black...I am on the fence with that but think it will be a game time decision. 😁
Yes, please. Fade to Black live in Seattle 89 was, is and forever will be one tough cookie to crack. Metallica really was on stage with all guns blazing. Truly a masterpiece.
Edit: Got the year wrong. It's not 98, sorry about that. Now it's correct.
Yes! Fade To Black is my favorite Metallica song. It resonates with me on a very personal level.
@@flickeringboxofficial either way it'll be a good reaction.
You guys did wonderfully!
This is the first time I watch you guys and I loved everything about your reaction video and I subscribed right away.
This song stirs the soul. If you served, it makes your heart pound. If you were in battle it may cause give you a flash back. I think this is one of their best instrumental pieces and lyrically it is haunting. An absolute mast piece!
You should absolutely have Alexis react to "Master of Puppets" as well as The Unforgiven trilogy, "Wherever I May Roam", and "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn" from Load as well as some of the music videos that they dropped for their latest album "72 Seasons".
there is no metallica after the black album....
@@Metzwerg74 Yes, there is. Sorry to break it to you.
@@TokusatsuGamingfan not really...
@@Metzwerg74 "Not really..." to you and everybody else who won't stop worshipping the first 4 or 5 albums and are too afraid to give anything afterwards they have done a fair shot.
@@Metzwerg74 Load and Reload are not that great, but Bleeding me and The Outlaw torn are arguably some of the greatest songs Metallica has ever written
FINALLY! Someone who gets it on first listen/watch. Awesome job on the reaction and fully understanding the song and video right off the first verse, impressive.
This is the first video i watch from you guys but i'm glad to see how she's taking an interest into not only the music but the meaning, which is more important tbh, i used to listen n have heard many songs for many years but it hasn't been until the last couple of years when I have learned to really pay attention to the lyrics and the meaning behind the song, it's like if i would be listening to them for the very first time, mind blowing stuff. Congrats on your channel and good to see 2 generations coming together and enjoy some amazing music, great song choice btw. Suscribing 👍🏻
In my region (Canada), this was the song that bridged the gap between metalheads and all the preppies/skaters. The cliques finally had common ground.
EDIT : Actually in my particular circles, the bridge was gapping earlier than One ; it was actually the EP that came out prior that brought the cliques together... I think it was the Danzig medley cover (Last Caress / Green Hell) that was the favorite. The EP built the bridge, One just cemented it.
Proving once again that (good) music brings people together.
johnny got his gun is the book The movie is based on- was a required read in my 7th or 8th grade English lit classes.
movie is the same title, book is by Dalton Trumbo
It took me years to finally get the real meaning of this song. The video. Watching you two brought me to tears. You two are awesome
Great video! The cookie part was funny, you guys have a great rapport!
I’m 54 and remember when this came out. It made such an impact on me but it made me join instead of not. Just 3 months after registering for the draft. Great song and I am so glad you she got the message right. Most kids after Gen X don’t get it because we’re the last of the old school generations that didn’t have safe spaces if we got our feelings hurt.
Megadeth- Holy Wars
Yes indeed Thomas.
As a 51 year old man, I am delighted one my daughters is a metal head. When this video dropped, it changed metal forever. Metallica put on their crown and never took it off/
Haha. Alexis wins the internet and Burch's blood pressure drops by 37%. 😉
You know it!! My cardiologist is very happy 😅
But can she figure out Master of Puppets before they get to a particular line of the song? 🤔😁
Masterpiece. Awesome to watch them perform it live.
Hey bud, steve from Australia, love yours and your daughter’s reaction, all children need to be taught the value of heavy metal, especially Metallica. The only band that delivers a real message, I saw a Metallica for the first time in 1989 at the tender age of 14, and have never looked back. Keep going my friend. Love your work.
Need to let her hear and justice for all or harvester of sorrow
eye of the beholder
I grew up in a very conservative town. Rock'n'roll acts were outright banned - your only choices for live music was country or more country. Even when I left in the 2000s the local rock'n'roll station wouldn't play Metallica because they were far too "hard". This video was so profound that my music teacher - in that dimly lit bastion of conservatism - rolled out the TV cart to show us how beautifully complex and philosophically deep metal music could be. It wasn't the one dimensional boogeyman we were led to believe.
was Kevin Bacon your best friend?
The hell? I never heard of an area being like that. There's radical people on both sides. Music like this being banned? It couldn't actually be banned. I'm guessing that's just another way of saying the people were like "we hate this music so much that anyone else that listens to it will be judged and criticized". Thank goodness I started listening to this music even as a devout conservative. Music shouldn't be restricted to one's political or ideological side when it's music like this.
I truly love your content. I saw the James Blunt video... lost my dad to a stroke and my mom has dementia now. This is his (my dad's) YT account and I refuse to close it down. That video got me but now I'm hooked and binge watching all your vids. You two are PERFECT together. I now have days of content to enjoy! Thank you for choosing to be content creators!
One of the best videos ever! Great reaction!
my all-time favorite Metallica song. great video as well
Super cool reaction guys I love it!!!!
And the song name One has a deep meaning too he is the one the one in a million can survive from a land mine hit like this!!! I really enjoy it congrats!!!!
ONE is a masterpiece! A truly powerful song that not only shows Metallica's prowess for song writing, but also their mastery of their instruments. It is the anchor of their incredible music catalog. This video is also a masterclass in storytelling. The imagery provides so much emotion to those lyrics, as they come to life right in front of you. Also, it is just really cool seeing them just jamming. This was their first music video ever as well. And as music video debuts go, this is hands down one of the greatest! Great reaction!
I was headbanging right along with ya Burch, Metallica has been my all time favourite band since the mid 80's and thats never gonna change!!
Yooo Alexis !! Kudos x100 ! You got it !!! And "ma girl" Welcome to METALLICA Family. You felt all the "Woowwness" "ONE" is.
Amazingly done. Alexis nailed from "GO". The two of you are a pleasure to watch and tune into. Im a 58 year old Metalhead and a Metallica fanatic. Ive seen them live 34 times and have plans for 3 shows in 2024/72 Seasons. I saw them first live as 22 year old metal nut from Wisconsin and have been loyal since. My only advice to Alexis is. See them while you can. These metal GIANTS walk amongst us mortal once in our generation. WELL DONE 🤘🤘☠
