Metallica - One Reaction | RAP REACTS TO METAL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!
wow thank you all for the love and support on this!! we have some more reactions coming soon & are making note of all the suggestions :)
This is the plot of "Johnny got his gun" by Dalton Trumbo. The novel written in 1938 that this song was based on. Copied from Wikipedia.
"Joe Bonham, a young American soldier serving in World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding artillery shell. He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body.
Joe attempts suicide by suffocation, but finds that he had been given a tracheotomy that he can neither remove nor control. At first Joe wishes to die, but he later decides that he desires to be placed in a glass box and toured around the country in order to show others the true horrors of war. Joe successfully communicates these desires with military officials after months and months of banging his head on his pillow in Morse code. However, he realizes that the military will not grant his wishes, as it is "against regulations". It is implied that he will live the rest of his natural life in his condition.
As Joe drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and girlfriend, and reflects upon the myths and realities of war."
You guys should listen to tower of pain by fit for a king
Ride the Lightning - Metallica... Its about an innocent man being sentenced to death by electric chair and has one of the best guitar solos ever.
You guys should react to the video for Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong side of heaven, and So far away
To get the full effect of this song, you need to react to the video. Do another with the video.
The soldier is heavily wounded by a land mine and loses his arms, legs, sight, voice and hearing. All he has is feeling, and all he can feel is pain. He lies in the hospital and constantly begs for death but death never comes.
exactly.. this song is so haunting and it is the song that got me into Metallica, I never liked them until I listened to this song
It's all based on a book called Johnny got his gun.
njineermike and the video uses clips from the movie
yep, those are the lyrics.
Yes. And you are right. The ending is supposed to leave you a bit uncomfortable and on edge, as the soldier remains in a state of extreme discomfort.
As a veteran of Desert Storm and as a fan of Metallica, or was great to hear your reaction too this. I've heard people react who didn't get the depth you two did. This song holds special meaning to me and I appreciate your reaction. Thank you!
thank u!!
Thank you for your service!
Desert storm wasn't a real war. It was like a week long and nobody even died in it. You probably still have PTSD 30 years later though huh?
@@fantasybooks
Service? Is that a joke? Invading another country and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people based off lies so a few global elite can consolidate resources and power is a service? Burn in hell you scumbag.
No one cares if you went to Irak or Oz .
Something so refreshing seeing young men with such intellectual breakdowns of songs, especially ones outside of their usual genres. Rap reactors are becoming quite common on RUclips but you guys seem to have a much more down to Earth and personable approach. Look forward to more metal reactions.
thank you :)
The thing that I think is cool is they all really dig bands like Tool and Metallica most of the good reactors are legit fans now
They feel like our very own Lost in Vegas (I'm also from the UK like these dudes) and don't worry guys, that's a massive compliment, check out their channel if you haven't, they might even give you some inspiration on what you can react to! Keep it going and might I also suggest Guns 'n' Roses 'Estranged' a criminally underreacted to song, strive to do different ones!
@@onelove101unity Can def see that,they break it down instead of just facial reactions
Thanks Dad!
Any Metallica fans think these two have superpowers for hearing bass in this song? ;)
haha I know, right
They may have the remastered bass enhanced version.
@@Redparrott32 this is true
Yep
This is the main song where you hear a hint of bass on the original production imo.
LOL HE SAID "BASS"
The audio engineers removed most of the bass guitar from this album..(explanation of this comment)..for anyone wondering
Sad we missed out on some of Burton's last writing
GSyn eminiDrome Lars was like nah fam take Jason out and the dude ight fam ur loss lmao
Lol I gotta give you a like for that, thats the first thing I thought when I heard him say that.
@ GSyn eminiDrome..... you mean 'Lars' removed the bass from this album!
This has to be two of the best interpretations of this song. Spot on guys! You didn't even watch the video. I've seen other reactions where they watch the video which gives the plot away... and they'd get it wrong. Good ears guys. Here is something you didn't know.... the song is based on a book and the name ONE..... well, when you go to war the odds you will not come home are a gazillion to ONE and that poor fella they are singing about is THAT "ONE"!
ilovetovape 72 No, his body is just One piece. No arms or legs, just his one body.
well even if you still have all your limbs attached you are still in one piece.
ilovetovape 72 No, you are a body with multiple attachments. Without those attachments, you're one body.
"Now the world has gone, I'm just One".
so what you are saying is that when you have all your limbs attached you are 6?
here you go.... The lyrics are based on the 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, which is about World War I. A specific passage that inspired the song is: "How could a man lose as much of himself as I have and still live? When a man buys a lottery ticket you never expect him to win because it's a million to one shot. But if he does win, you'll believe it because one in a million still leaves one. If I'd read about a guy like me in the paper I wouldn't believe it, cos it's a million to one. But a million to ONE always leaves one. I'd never expect it to happen to me because the odds of it happening are a million to one. But a million to one always leaves one. One."
James Hetfield was introduced to the book by his older half brother, David Hale, who was also in a band.
You young men are extremely in touch with exactly what this was about.. I especially like that you caught the essence of how the music also tells the story that the lyrics do tell. Keep up with the metal reviews.. If you want to do something that very few reactors have done, you should do disposable heroes by metallica.
thank you!!
Also, the sadness into anger transition is exactly how the book is structured too.
REact Metallica Orion (one of the greatest metal instrumentals ever)
I think ‘To Live Is To Die’ is a tad bit better
You two are amazingly perceptive and articulate in expressing yourselves! More than a lot of other reactors who are older, so kudos for the reaction and for clearly enjoying this Metallica classic. Believe me they are the exception in metal, the cream of the crop...I look forward to seeing more reactions.
thank u!!
Metallica, For whom the bell tolls, live Seattle 1989, one of the best concerts ever recorded.
I love the sanitarium they do in that concert
One of the best reaction videos I've seen for any song by anyone. Nice job, guys.
Metallica Dispoable Heroes - another epic song by them about the horror of war
YEASHHHHH!!!!!!
I've watched a ton of 'One' reactions, and you two have gotten so inside the music, it's amazing. Such a breakdown. Crazy reaction. I wish I had half the insight and ability to connect that both of you have.
The "oooo" at 7:54 is what it's all about.
:))
You guys REALLY need to listen to Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name! A very visual song
Yeah no channel has ever done that one
@@JM-ji9kx but they haven't
@@JM-ji9kx alex hefner
Sparty u're a beast at detecting sarcasm
Run To The Hills is a *much* better song to review by Iron Maiden
I didn't think this channel could get any better lmao
This is what reaction channels should strive to be.
thank u !!
One of the best reactions I've seen, guys. I really like your patient, attentive style. Master of Puppets and One are probably two of the greatest metal songs ever made so it's gonna be hard to top them, but still, Metallica's 80's catalog is chock full of similarly fantastic tracks. As many others already said, *Fade to Black* would be one of the obvious choices to go with, for instance.
In this video you talk about how you found it interesting that the music by itself already told the most of the story, that lyrics were almost not needed. If you'd like to go further in that vein, Metallica also has two of the best metal instrumentals ever composed under their belt, which are actually from the same two albums Master and One are from, so it could be interesting to make it a double pairing and react to them first. They're called *Orion* and *To Live is to Die* . Orion (from the album _Master of Puppets_ ) was mostly the creation of their late bassist who was killed in their tour bus in an accident, and To Live is to Die (from _...And Justice for All_ ) was a song dedicated to his memory, so both are very dear to Metallica fans.
thank you, Fade to Black is definitely next!
The book that One is based on is called Johnnys got a gun. It’s an American anti war novel that I highly recommend you read. It really shines new light on how horrific war is by showing the worst imaginable situation a soldier could end up in. It also gives you better understanding of the lyrics ”hold my breathe as I wait for death”, the injured soldier literally tries to kill himself by holding his breath because he cannoy communicate with the outside world that he does not want to live like this.
It is very literal at the end. It's about a soldier who stepped on a landmine and survived.. He wakes up in the hospital unable to hear,see, or speak. With his arms and legs blown off... he is literally trapped in his own mind.
Considering that you're new to the song your ability to discern and interpret the lyrics and associate the music with imagery is refreshing. I first heard this in 1988 when it was released and have listened to it countless times and you even gave me something to chew on - I'd never noticed that the fast drum chops resembled a Gatling gun. That'll stay with me now. Thanks, good luck and happy listening.
You should watch the official video.. see how close you guys got to your anology of the song
will do!
You guys seem to have a nice angle on music. Check out some Tool, you will not be disappointed. 46&2 is a good place to start. Some other popular ones: The Pot, Right in Two, Sober (my personal fav), Lateralus
Chris Schloegel yes all of those I would also add eulogy
I would add Parabol+Parabola and Wings pt1+2 to that list
Very good suggestion Chris. I would like to add that the guys use lyrics-videos !! very important with TOOL-songs
Y'all had it spot on with the machine gun analogy. The drumroll was intended to imitate the sound of gunfire heard in No Man's Land.
I'm 41 and I've been listening to Metallica since the early 90s I love seeing the younger generation discover them they are the best metal band that was ever created
I started listening to Metallica when I was around 10 years old... To this day, I get chillsevery single time James says “DARKNESS... Imprisioning me”.
i like how you're only 2:40 in and already figured it out by saying "you're a soldier, you've been at war. and these are your scars", even though you haven't even heard any lyrics yet.
How did I not find you guys sooner than now? Two of the coolest, articulate, genuinely nice guys.
Metallica - Fade to Black
noted!
One incredibly beautiful thing about this song is that no matter who you are, or what your life experience has been, you can relate to it in one way or anyother. Everyone has been through their own battles, and have been through and fought with something that left them feeling shattered, empty, and sometimes genuinely made them wish for death. Theyve felt that solemn sadness, and that pure rage that this song is able to capture so elegantly and in such a raw, real way. No matter if weve fought on a physical battlefield or a mental one, weve all had our metaphorical arms and legs blown off, and our soul taken from us. And weve all wished for this life to be cut off from us. Truly a masterpiece.
Thank you for a genuine reaction. A lot of peeps just say the right stuff to try and please the viewers. You're looking and feeling deeper, which is what Metallica is all about.
I love that you guys can listen to a foreign music style and analyze it so well, and also appreciate it. That's how you can tell people who are well educated musically. You guys earned a new subscriber here.
It's great so see young people appreciating the music i grew up with. You guys do a great job breaking down songs.
You guys are so calm down to earth, how refreshing so mellow voices :)
i like how you listen to the vocals but also the actual instruments and speak about how it makes you feel, a real in depth reaction that actually adds something, good job lads
I have fallen in love w/ watching kids get into my tunes...You two are more thoughtful than most & I dig it =)
You guys are wonderful and provide a completely unique energy to reaction videos. Glad I found you!
I like this review, you listened and put yourselves into the music and tried to grasp it. This is Metallica 101 for sure. You earned a fan.
Love how right after you said "like a happier memory...", James comes in and sings "I can't remember anything" XD That was just perfect!
React to more songs off the same album. Album is called ...And Justice for All. It's my favorite Metallica album by far and every song on it is 10/10. Harvester of sorrow, Frayed ends of sanity, or blackened next please
My favorite too. Most fans say Master of Puppets but this album is like metal Mozart.
Yes! And Justice for All is their masterpiece to me.
Max otto because of cliff dude
The reason most of us say Puppets or Lightning is better is because Cliff Burton obviously had pull and shut down crybaby bitch, Ulrich. Lars had all of Newstead's bass removed or covered with his shitty drumming. Sorry, this is metal, bass is quite necessary to a sound that doesn't sound like it's recorded in a bathroom.
I can't think of a single bad song on Justice
Really impressed by both of your words there , respect 👍
I'm very impressed with you both on your interpretation of this great song. You've got a new sub here.😉
This is really timeless. The story in the lyrics could be relevant to almost any conflict in any period of time. The universal agony of war and having your body and life destroyed by it.
The music almost tells the story as much as the lyrics do.
This was always what I loved about metallica. Everything was always so carefully crafted and executed. Every instrument has its place, every note in time with the lyrics. So much more than what the genre of 'thrash metal' indicates.
The lyrics were almost always thought provoking and in depth. When so much rock is over simplified with over repetition of lines and simplicity of the instrumentals, etc.
Metallica will always kick ass... evidenced by these guys, who arent rockers, that can appreciate a song that was released before they were even born.
This honestly guys, might be my favorite reaction to this song ever, if not of any song I've watched on RUclips. VERY well done.
When hip hop and rap guys appreciate real music. Not lyrics. Actual instruments.
Metal has the best of both worlds in music and lyrics. Rap had both too, but then it only had lyrics and now it's got nothing.
@@cubzrulz it's still there, it's just harder to find now. Same in many ways can be said with a lot of recent music honestly. Music as a whole has become very trendy, so many artists now just go for the same tone in whichever genre they're in now
i dont think that hip hop is all bout lyrics. there is a really big part for melodies, instruments and sometimes lyrics are there just to give vibe to song
Dont forget the best part! The machine gun riff.. because it's sounds like firing machine gun..
Fellas, that's a deep, honest review of this song. Welcome to metal. Metallica in particular are famous for taking listeners on journeys. I'm a US Army veteran myself. When you get a chance check out 5 Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side of Heaven.
It looks on you faces when it dropped to the double bass part was classic. Cuz the same look only my buddies faces when we were sitting around listen to this cassette much love just subscribed
:))
have to admit out of all the artists i have learned to play over the yrs with the guitar Metallica is one of the ones i just enjoy playing
The official video is very powerful as well. The song is based on a book, and there was a movie made about the book as well. They use scenes from the movie in the video. It adds up to a very powerful experience.
It was also Metallica's first ever music video.
The 1971 movie is called Johnny Got His Gun. It's based on the 1938 novel of the same name by Dalton Trumbo. They're kind of hard to find, though I am finding one or both listed online at Best Buy and Walmart. See the video if you haven't already and I do recommend the movie. The story (video and/or movie) never fails to shake me up and move me to tears.
you guys are awesome! how you guys analyse the song is amazing. i just wish more people could listen to metal like you do and not call it just noise. I've watched many reaction video's on youtube, but how you guys talk about the meaning and the beauty of this song made me emotional. Keep making this kind of video's guys. You just got a subscriber more!
The video for this song is a piece of art that works will with the emotional roller coasters.
I’ve listened to this song countless times, seen dozens of reactions to the song from people of all different walks of life and backgrounds, and 1) the song still gives me chills, 2) I love seeing people hear it for the first time. It’s like they’re in the club now.
Do Megadeth - Holy Wars... The punishment due. I can guarantee that you'll get at least 10k views from doing that song.
I'm so glad to see your approach to this song! I really like your interpretation and your comments. You are down to earth, patient, respectful. Good job, guys! Keep it up!
Some great metal songs to react to
Pantera - walk ( about backstabbing people who try to use people
Lamb of god - Omerta ( opening line taken from a book on the Sicilian mafia, about their code of silence)
Mudvayne - death blooms (about feeling trapped in a body that doesn't do s you used to, old age or dissability)
Jinjer - Pisces (watch the live studio recording, this is a MUST for this one, it's about the duality of some people's personality, this one I leave to you t work out the story and meaning. 😉)
Your comment is a little counter-intuitive..one of the reason for these types of vids are what you get from going in blind..but then again maybe that's just me
if they're gonna do Pantera they should do "Cemetery Gates" and "The Sleep" before "Walk".
You've earned a sub from me. I love that you guys actually FEEL the music. I personally believe that's what it's all about. I feel music deeply. The lyrics come after for me.
Buddy on the left (camera left) sounds like a radio host, and you are both very intelligent and have great insight! Subbed.
You guys did a great job describing the song with out watching the video, good job
Fuck, you guys... I am so impressed with this whole thing. Your analysis and thoughts were on point and interesting, all of them. I liked that you just speak small comments over the music but then pause when you have something to say that might take longer. I hate when the music is paused all the time but also when someone speak over the music all the time and misses key parts through. Your way definitely is the perfect solution. Subscribed.
Fair play boys love the respect. Got the story down so well too. Hope you had a chance to check out the video to see how right you were.
Great and insightful read, guys!
Metal demands emotional content, complexity, and precision, as well as aggression, and this song is a fantastic example of the band's musical virtuosity.
Please do a re-react of "One"'s music video, and afterward, watch it a few MORE times for yourselves; the replay value on it is SICKK!
Enjoyed your perspectives, fellows. Have to check out more of your stuff, this was my first. Drawn in by the masters (Metallica), of course but really dug the reaction!
I've listened to this song countless thousands of times since it's release in 1989 and it still gives me goosebumps every time! It's great to see yet more young rap heads listening to it and totally getting it and digging it but I'd definitely recommend watching the official video at high volume as it gives you a completely immersive experience and a very visual idea of what the song is about. Bon voyage on your heavy metal adventures boys.
I believe the song is based on an old movie or novel called something like "Johnny Got A Gun" or something like that. If you get the chance, watch their official trailer and you'll understand it a bit more.
you guys are super astute in your analyses... amazing given this is your first listen!
the official video is crucial to understanding this story.
Fabulous breakdown!
So insightful.
Bravo!
thank u :)
I think I finally found some others that look deep into it like I do . I can play this on guitar also , and when I’m playing it , it also takes me on a journey
I've always respected James (singer) for the fact he plays guitar and sings at the same time
Love your channel. Nice to see people not being a distraction, and at the same time having layers to your thoughts. Megadeth and Pantera. Both awesome bands that are truly musicians. Not just bangers
If you want an experience, check out Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree. It's a bit long, but worth the ride.
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed your treatise. The movie Johnny got his gun is the inspiration for this song.
Great at 1st, kinda got fuzzy, then you guys really got the point. Probably one of the best reactions I've seen to this song.
TOOL is the next station for you guys. 46&2 of Schism will be a great start. keep up your good work !!
Definitely the best reaction video I've seen! Welcome to the beautiful world of metal my friends
You guys are spot-on about every song and it's really great to see. This track actually brings me to tears when I watch someone else listen to it...
If you want more lyrics that are absolute 🔥🔥, do yourselves a favor and dig into *Rage Against The Machine* (if you haven't already, though being as you're hip hop heads I gotta assume you're onto them). So many earth-shattering tracks. The song _Wake Up_ is devastating and still painfully relevant today, as is _Killing in the Name_ , _Fistful of Steel_ , _Freedom_ , _Know Your Enemy_ , _Take The Power Back_ , oh god just listen to the whole self-titled album. They are 100% hot fire.
It is amazing that you guys got more of the truth of this song even without the video. Most reactions I have seen the dudes watch the video and still don’t get what is going on. They are to wrapped up in their reaction hubris. Now watch the video, best ever made.
Wow guys. That was really deep and analytic, no hate, just open minds and appreciation for lyrics. Great work. Love you.
A very intelligent and thoughtful reaction to a true classic.
Land mine has taken my sight ..speech ...hearing ..arms.. legs.. soul brutal
The words and the music are one in their completeness.
Visual soundscape lol nice one. You guys need to come back and do more.
I have to say, being on "old guy", lol, that you both were very insightful to the song's message. Based on the book and the subsequent movie called "Johnny Get Your Gun", is shows a young man who goes to war during WWI, and loses his sight, his speech, his hearing, his legs and his arms and is left with nothing but his pain and is own thoughts. You both very well picked up on the horrors men face in the aftermath of war. Check out the actual video for it because it shows clips and sounds from the movie. But very well done lads!
In Justice hooked me in 7th grade. Then I went backwards in their catalog-their best stuff really.
🤘
The drums at the end always felt to me like machine gun fire and with that ending, in war, that could very well be the last thing you here before you die.
So nice to see a new generation enjoying this music
Brilliant reaction guys! You nailed it with the meaning of the song! Definitely check out the official version with the added film footage from "Johnny Got His Gun", and also the orchestral version on S&M. Subbed and looking forward to more stuff!
And also, react to Pantera - Cemetery Gates. You won't regret it!
thank u!!
Wow that song kicked their ass haha
definitely did!
Best breakdown of this song I've ever heard. Great job guys.
Hi guys. First time on your channel. I’m really enjoying your channel so far. I’m a huge metal/hard rock fan and a huge Metallica fan. First off, may I make a suggestion? There is another channel that I’m a huge fan of called: Lost in Vegas. They do similar what you guys do. My suggestion is inspired by that channel and it’s this: When you guys are going to comment, pause the song please. I noticed this because the part of the song that you heard, “Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul,” I think you missed the beginning of that verse. It actually starts by saying, “Land mine has take my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing,” then goes on to say the rest of what you heard. This guy is in Hell. He’s lost everything. That makes it even more powerful. I offer this suggestion with the highest respect for what you guys are doing, just some positive, constructive feedback. 🙂🙏🏼
Also, Metallica songs with amazing, powerful lyrics:
Blackened: about destroying Mother Earth
Master of Puppets: about drug addiction
Disposable Heroes: soldiers in war
Enter Sandman: evil dreams
Welcome home (sanitarium): insane asylum
Creeping death: Egyptian plague killing first born sons
Shortest straw
Eye of the beholder
BatteryFor whom the bell tolls.... a few other really great songs. I’m confident that there are other excellent Metallica fans that can give more fantastic suggestions. These are just some of my favorites. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Excellent job fellas. I liked and am now a subscriber. Thanks for the fantastic work.
My apologies, I just realized this was a year ago. Hope you guys are going strong.
"Blackbird" by Alterbridge ! "Cemetery Gates" by Pantera ! Articulated very well guys!
Please react to Caught Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just subscribed. You two are smart guys. Listen to Four Horseman. The beat will move your soul. The song is about The Four Horseman coming. Did not spoil it.
it's based on the book Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo.
love seeing people reacting to one, they just jamming slowly to the song the it takes you by the balls and kicks it up a couple notchs
Yeah! Yeah!! The audio version! Great choice!! Everyone reacts to the videoclip, which is not bad, but has (too) many interruptions from the movie they cutted in between. Many real good parts of this song have been destroyed by that. Thank you very much for pure listening to the music :-)
Love your open mindedness, which I could do a channel as a hobby and for listening to new music but to shy on camera
