Hey ya'll. Just a quick note. I've had COVID for a little over a month and really sick. I've been really isolated and it can get lonely. I make sure to watch your videos everyday and it's helped. It's funny how alone this virus makes you feel because it's so contagious but ya'll have been like friends. I'm always one of the people to respond to your videos first because it's just refreshing to see real people have real reactions. So, thanks for helping through these hard days. I'm starting to get better- so, thanks again. I appreciate ya'll.
Hello Friend, I’m in tears after reading this message. We thank you so much for allowing us in your heart. We do these reactions to reach wonderful people like you. Praying for complete healing for you. Thank you for spreading the love.
It wasn't torture from the enemy. The soldier lost his arms, legs, hearing, voice, eyesight from the mine/artillery shell. . He was trapped in his body with no way to communicate other than bobbing his head in Morse code. He was in a hospital where they were trying to help him but really weren't. He was in physical and mental agony and wanted it to end so he was bobbing out the Morse code message KILL ME. The nurse tried to help him but was stopped. The song is all about the horrors of war most of us ignore, are unaware of or overlook.
@@limitlessbyvlenoir5339 It's based on the book Johnny Got His Gun; Metallica bought the rights to the film to include clips from it in the music video
@@doctorhrtattack1185 I was meaning musically but I can see that take 100% about how they took the story from the book if that was what you were saying.
The song isn’t about war, it’s not anti-war or anything that. It’s set in war time, but the song’s message itself doesn’t pertain to war. It’s about the helpless situation he’s in. James Hetfield said it himself, it’s ultimately about being trapped. If the message of this song was presented as a meal, being trapped in that sort of hellish isolation would be the food, and war would just be the plate it’s being served on.
Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell. Its a song about a movie, JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN. About a soldier in WW1.
This has a whole new meaning to me since I returned from Iraq. I would like to encourage any veteran out there who feels lost and without hope to call the veterans crisis line. They really can help.
I’m not military. But my love for our troops is solid and deep. Please find help if you need it. We still love every single one of you... you are important to this country and world. ♥️♥️♥️
@@bonesmama1273 they're not actually important to the world... and my advice to all of them is "stay home and don't go to made up wars by people who only want lands, oil and money...stay safe be smart"
He was a soldier and stepped on a land mine that took his arms, legs, sight, speech, everything...he can’t holler out in pain, can’t move, eat anything! Imprisoned in his own body or what’s left of it
So glad to see people dive outside their “comfort” zone and delve into the deep side of what can be when it comes to music. Keep doin y’all and god bless on y’all’s journey
Truly a masterpiece of music. And perhaps the greatest metal song of all time. Beyond powerful in every aspect of it. Lyrics, melody, visuals......all of it.
The fact that y'all are speechless says it all. You felt what the song is about. Y'all understand it better than you think. As a side note this was the first Metallica song I learned on drums. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!
Video is inspired by Johnny Got His Gun. The movie was a novel before it became a movie. One is the reason why I looked up the movie for to understand it more. The song itself is inspired by the movie as well.
a side note for this is that it was going to cost more to license the rights to the movie for the video than buying the rights so metallica now own the rights to the movie
The title 'Johnny got His Gun' play on the phrase "Johnny get your gun", a rallying call that was commonly used to encourage young American men to enlist in the military in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
@@loudnoises213 yep! So right especially during The Great War - WWI. I read this at 19 years old (I'm 50 now) and I still get that feeling like I did at 19.
A lot of people claim that this song is anti-war, and that's understandable, but inaccurate. According to the writer of the song, it's not anti or pro war, it just acknowledges that there is a steep price to pay for war. A subtle difference perhaps, but a difference nonetheless.
My dad was in Vietnam, he is 75 now and still wont talk bout it, its got too be hard to keep inside, but it never change how much i love him, and for the rest of the soliders who lost there life, or came back a different man from the bottom of my heart TY, and for the rest of familys appreciate what u have, before its gone. God bless ♥️
I saw the movie when I was young because Donald Sutherland is in it. It's really hard to take. There are aspects of the story this video doesn't really show. He has all these conversations and has all these experiences but with no sensory input he can't tell if they're memories, dreams, or hallucinations.
This is one of Metallica's greatest songs. It's a lot to take in all at once, especially with all the movie clips. "Fade to Black" is another outstanding track that you may enjoy, but I would suggest doing the audio version only. It's also got a pretty deep message.
Them first music video for any single. They've used the clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" to illustrate perfectly what's going on in this song!!!! This one tells the story of a soldier who's got stuck inside his own body: he can't hear, move, speak, he can barely do anything. This was also them second anti-war song after "Disposable Heroes" (1986; "Master Of Puppets" album)
I have been a Metallica fan since their beginning and they are very good at evoking emotion by making the music and lyrics play on each other to take you where they want you to be. I have never seen or heard something that is so deeply disturbing but at same time absolutely fucking amazing
This song describes, both lyrically and musically, the torture and hell our soldiers go through after going to war. Most of them come home a different person than when they left. Whether it be physical, or mental, damage from the horrors of war. We, each and EVERYone, need to be extensively grateful for all of our military members. Be sure to show respect and gratitude to ALL of our military, soldiers and Coast Guard personnel! If it weren't for them, we would be living under extreme tyranny! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DEFENDERS!!! I AM TRULY GRATEFUL, AND I SALUTE YOU!💙
Aye guys great to see you react to Metallica, great old school band ;) I've been enjoying your channel, been watching some Bill Burr, Tom MacDonald, etc. You guys are awesome!
This song represents what humankind has accomplished with wars. Soldier after soldier with deep scars, soul and body. The scenes you watched are from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun". So the soldier came back home without limbs cause of a mine. Couldn't speak, so basically no form of communication and trapped in his own mind, not knowing if he was awake or dreaming, just a constant torture. I see you reacted to Master of Puppets, gonna check this out now :D Anyway best wishes to you 2
Awesome reaction guys 👌 One of the many reasons why so many love Metallica are because of their deep meanings. Always make sure you have their lyrics up when listening to them 😉 Hope you guys really give them a good go, they’re worth it 🤘 Master of Puppets - with lyrics -1986 Nothing Else Matters - 1991 Harvester of Sorrow - Live Moscow ‘’91 Fade to Black - 1984 Battery - 1986 The Four Horsemen - 1983 All Nightmare Long - 2008 Spit out the Bone - 2016
For many of their fans this was like a cheap blow because they said that they had been sold to be commercials, since in those days, it was the first band that made a video clip for a platform like MTV (80's), but that helped catapult Metallica into the giants of the metal industry of those times, putting them in the Top 100 of the greatest MusicVideos of all history worldwide ...Greetings from Chile🔥🔥
Love your reaction! The majority of Metallica's earlier songs have depth in meaning. "Sanitarium, (Welcome Home)" is probably the deepest in their catalog. I highly suggest a reaction to it. I promise you nothing short of a blown mind if you really focus on the lyrics. Peace, love, and good vibes y'all!
As someone who suffers from depression, it really hits me every time when he says, “If I had arms I could kill myself. If I had legs I could run away.”
I go through at least 5 stages of grief everytime I hear this song. So I don't listen to it often. I'm not a big metallca fan but appreciate their music. Great work you two.
I remember their show back in June 2017 in Denver. This was their third song in, they stopped the show for a passing lightning storm right above us, and had to take shelter. The rumbles in that stadium that night. Great show after the storm passed.
It’s a song based on a book written and later made into a movie, by Dalton Trumbo “Johnny got his gun” a World War 1 novel about a traumatic casualty of a soldier who survived the war but lost his voice, his hearing, his sight, both arms and legs! He simply living on a machine and IV’s. He only has his thoughts with no one to talk to but himself. The song is based on a soldiers perspective, basically it can be about any war. This includes soldiers going through PTSD. When I was in Iraq war for my 4th time, I lost so many friends, I started to question why did I survive 7 combat tours?!? This song and Faded To Black helped me recover some on my PTSD issues then and now! When ever I feel really down and unsure about myself? I listen to both One & Faded to Black to help me some what understand my PTSD moments!! Thanks for your honest opinions not using political rhetoric like other channels but listening with your heart and opened mind!!! I thank you for your service to our Country!!! 🇺🇸
The message I took from this video is this: 1) War is an old man's game. 2) War has horrific consequences. 3) Authority does not care about wounded soldiers. 4) This song is why I love Metallica.
The way to feel the emotion, is to understand that the pain/horror content of each song is taken into context as a 3rd party character. Now, thinking of it that way will mentally pull you out being terrified..Its not you in the video, now your going to be in the right mindframe, now when you get the emotion of immense sadness and despair at the end of the video, right as reach peak disbelief, then you swing that emotion into how lucky we all are to not have had to go through these people's circumstances, it should remind us all that we have blessings all around us. The Men and Woman who went into the Wars of history, If you think about it, so many lives lost to fight for us to be here, including the lives of the enemy, should give you a sense of the magnitude of how much heaven and earth it took for us to be so blessed today. Bless you both as well, you two together put on a hell of a show, Peace! LuV!🍦🍦Ice Cream!!
Yes Metallica was a great Rock band. This song hit hard and as a soldier I understand the meaning behind the song. Now I'm a veteran me and my husband are both veterans. But please react to Pantera cemetery gates or cowboys from hell.
This is based on a movie about WW I and it is about the horrors of war and what some soldiers through when they come home. You guys got the message quite well.
Great masterpiece!!! Special and genuine style! I appreciate when people react to other genres when rock is not your first choice, i really appreciate your reactions to rage against the machine and Metallica... This song is called ONE because he lost limbs and senses cuz the war and rather die
There is ALOT of reaction videos out there now but I love yours because you embrace all genres of music & your attitude towards each other & life is really inspirational. Horns up 🤘 TPC-73
Hello you two! I truly hope that you and your Family and Friends are healthy and safe! Others who have commented have succinctly explained the; "Johnny Got His Gun", book and movie that Metallica brilliantly integrated into their video. Just wanted to give a shout out though to Metallica for winning the Grammy for this song in 1988!! They played this as it is in this production of the vid. It's just awesome to see harder Metal Bands appreciated for their obvious artistic talent and abilities. : ) Virtual Hugs!
Let’s please shout out to our military service folk and veterans, and our wounded warriors. Those guys who fought for something that they truly believed in and wanted.
The footage is from an old movie called Johnny Got His Gun (1971), about a soldier during World War 1, who got blown up by a mortar shell. He lost his arms, legs, hearing, voice, and everything but his inner, torturous thoughts with no way to communicate or do anything about it. A literal 'basket case' and a living hell. He was asking, through Morse Code, that someone put him out of his misery. Sometimes death is better.
Now let me just tell you this was the most AMAZING SONG during the Big 4 at Yankee stadium. The place erupted like the Yankees won the World Series. Unforgettable.
Vid was from a movie called Johnny got his gun,based on the book by Dalton Trumbo. He was blacklisted during the McCarthy witch hunt and later wrote the screenplay to Spartacus under a pseudonym.
This song was from the movie johnnies got a gun that was based on a book of the same name about a solder vwho lost his arms, legs, sight and voice but was kept alive by machines if you read the book have lots of keanex because it is a tear jerker.
My favorite Metallica song! You guys are so awesome. You have such great energy and, at the risk of sounding shallow, you are a beautiful couple and I LOVE that you're always so well put together and your outfits always match.
The movie does have a few bright spots. The nurse opens the curtains, so he learns to count the days by the sun's warmth on his skin. He learns to tell when he's awake or asleep by whether he controls the images in his mind's eye or they control him. He learns to tell who is in the room by the number of footsteps and how heavy they are. In the end, though, the military officer draws the curtains after he thwarts the nurse, thereby destroying his most important connection to the outside world.
The hospital scenes are from a 1971 movie Johnny Got His Gun (fiction inspired by a gruesome true story about a Canadian soldier from World War I. During battle, a mortar shell hits very close to "Johnny" Joe Bonham, causing severe physical damage.). It's definitely an anti-war song. TOTAL BANGER!!!!!!!!
To help put this video into context, the footage in it is from the 1971 movie "Johnny Got His Gun" based on the classic novel by the same name... It's an anti-war film that was made and released during the Vietnam War Era and shines a light on the horrors and ignorance of war.
I was actually up watching the Headbanger's Ball on MTV for the world premier of this video! I think I still have it on VHS tucked away somewhere. it still gives me goosebumps.
That was awesome a reaction.... Great way to show the pain of a soldier... Until it's sleeps... Great song with video to show the pain of a drug addict... please react..new subscriber love from Florida 🌴
This was from a book called Johnny Got His Gun by guy named Dalton Trumbo. He was blacklisted in Hollywood in the 40s when Senator Joe McCarthy said that Communists were everywhere. He wrote the screen play for the movie Spartacus. This was Metallica's first video they made.
Metal is often times the vessel for the messages of people about issues/history that society can be too thin to talk about... Or want to think about. Our societies need to remember about our suffered past or we can be susceptible to walk about into the same problems again. Do not let other's suffering be in vein. We need to love each other.
From an old book, Johnny Got His Gun, later turned into the movie used in tge video. Soldier lost his arms, legs, and face. Couldn't hear, speak, or see. Was using Morris code by hitting his head against the pillow. Someone finally recognized what he was saying..."Kill me."
This is my favorite Metallica song my top 3 are 1. One 2. Nothing Else Matters 3. Turn The Page ( A Bob Segar cover if you react to it make sure you get the official video) Welcome to Metallica Land hold on for the ride! 💜🤘🏾
Sometimes the greatest hell is being stuck in your own mind in a constant state of pain and there is no One that can help you or is stopped from helping you because it's not in their interest.
Johnny Got His Gun is such a deep movie and I am glad Metallica used it. 1st time that I saw this video, I already knew the movie, for I watched with my family as a kid. Yes, I am older.
If you never heard this song...then went into it knowing that the man this is about had a healthy brain, but no speech, vision, hearing, or limbs (meaning he can't communicate anything!) but wanted to die!!! It is such a hard song to hear without crying!!! I get tears in my eyes everytime I hear, and hated Heavy Metal growing up in the 1980's. Metallica changed all that! I was a huge rap and pop fan back then. This is a song that anyone who understands it, can't deny how special it is and the message they are trying to send!
One of my best friends was a Korean War vet. He always said most men were willing to die for their country, but not be maimed just short of death for a lifetime. He came back intact, but some of his buddy's fates haunted him to his last day.
Great song to react to. As others have said, this song is in essence an anti war song. The clips of the movie they use can be tough to watch but I think that is the entire point. If we want to send our young men and women off to war, we shouldnt hide from the dark sides of war. Its not just about the victories, its about the price we pay to achieve those victories.
When I hear and see people disrespecting our Military and our Flag, I don't think anything can enrage me more. What those men and women go through to defend our freedom is so remarkable and so selfless, they deserve a hell of a lot more than they receive! We have athletes that can throw a ball in a hoop and they are worshiped while these heroes are just struggling to stay afloat or are living on the streets trying to stay alive. Makes no sense.......
It's about a soldier who stepped on a landmine and lost everything. He was being fed through a tube and had all kinds of machines hooked up that were keeping him alive. He preferred death to the painful life he was experiencing.
This actually scenes from an antiwar movie called Johnny got his gun from the early 70s. Metallica bought the rights to the movie just for this video. I would highly recommend watching it.
Metallica has done quite a few songs that center around war and the horrors. Disposable Hero, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Don’t Tread On Me these are a few and they’re all amazing.

Hey ya'll. Just a quick note. I've had COVID for a little over a month and really sick. I've been really isolated and it can get lonely. I make sure to watch your videos everyday and it's helped. It's funny how alone this virus makes you feel because it's so contagious but ya'll have been like friends. I'm always one of the people to respond to your videos first because it's just refreshing to see real people have real reactions. So, thanks for helping through these hard days. I'm starting to get better- so, thanks again. I appreciate ya'll.
Hello Friend, I’m in tears after reading this message. We thank you so much for allowing us in your heart. We do these reactions to reach wonderful people like you. Praying for complete healing for you. Thank you for spreading the love.
Kor Short we are happy to hear that your doing better COVID Really Sucks also we thank and appreciate for Watching ✔️💯
I hope you get well soon ...love watching your reactions....in my heart and prayers....cheers from kansas city...
Get well soon! My cousin just caught COVID and is starting to going through what you are.
Stay strong, thoughts & prayers are with you KOR Short

Nah...it wasn't about War...it was about a psycho like 'Jigsaw' torturing a guy
@@FandangoHoward Now that’s pretty cool. I’ll have to check that out.
@@KingOfGamesss Ummm...no, it was about the horrors of war.
One of the best songs ever written.
I see what u did there
@@doctorhrtattack1185 I was meaning musically but I can see that take 100% about how they took the story from the book if that was what you were saying.
@@vorsutus753 sure did
This song rocks ass, but depressing. Saw the WW1 movie also. Ashamed how this County fails to thank our Patriots these days🙏😞💪🧐🇺🇲👍
Facts
Message is simple: war is hell.
And war has consequences
War is hell, yet everybody wants to talk about it if is something of a school excursion ; humanity can be sick sometimes...
Human Experimentation is the true Hell
The song isn’t about war, it’s not anti-war or anything that. It’s set in war time, but the song’s message itself doesn’t pertain to war. It’s about the helpless situation he’s in.

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell.
Its a song about a movie, JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN. About a soldier in WW1.
This has a whole new meaning to me since I returned from Iraq. I would like to encourage any veteran out there who feels lost and without hope to call the veterans crisis line. They really can help.
Truth brother truth they helped and are helping me out
Find a disability advocate as well to get you all the financial help you can!
I’m not military. But my love for our troops is solid and deep. Please find help if you need it. We still love every single one of you... you are important to this country and world. ♥️♥️♥️
@@bonesmama1273 they're not actually important to the world... and my advice to all of them is "stay home and don't go to made up wars by people who only want lands, oil and money...stay safe be smart"
I’m a navy veteran of 3 conflicts what people don’t realize is this video is about a ww1 veteran
He was a soldier and stepped on a land mine that took his arms, legs, sight, speech, everything...he can’t holler out in pain, can’t move, eat anything! Imprisoned in his own body or what’s left of it

@@loudnoises213 yep! So right especially during The Great War - WWI. I read this at 19 years old (I'm 50 now) and I still get that feeling like I did at 19.
Thank you for not pausing. One is a song that just should not be paused. Excellent, human reaction. Thanks you two!
The depth ,layers and emotions this song conveys are what makes this song so beautiful and powerful.
It has anti war message showing the horrors of war Metallica’s track disposable heros is also about war if you want somewhere to go from here
Disposable Heroes is my favorite track from Metallica's magnum opus. 12 stars out of 5. Solid suggestion.
Yes! Disposable Heroes rules! In my opinion, the whole Master of Puppets album rules. My favorite Metallica album.
A lot of people claim that this song is anti-war, and that's understandable, but inaccurate. According to the writer of the song, it's not anti or pro war, it just acknowledges that there is a steep price to pay for war. A subtle difference perhaps, but a difference nonetheless.

The doctors think he can't think or feel but he obviously can. Imagine living with no limbs, voice, sight, etc. That's no way to exist.
I saw the movie when I was young because Donald Sutherland is in it. It's really hard to take. There are aspects of the story this video doesn't really show. He has all these conversations and has all these experiences but with no sensory input he can't tell if they're memories, dreams, or hallucinations.
Her beautiful face says it all esp at the end. Just wow, said with no sound, her face said wow. Beautiful!
Huge Metallica fan here! At least 35 years now and still my favorite band!! Please go down the Metallica rabbit hole!
This is one of Metallica's greatest songs. It's a lot to take in all at once, especially with all the movie clips. "Fade to Black" is another outstanding track that you may enjoy, but I would suggest doing the audio version only. It's also got a pretty deep message.
This is one of my favorite songs to watch people react too because this song is just on another level, and you two are some of my favorite reactors!
One of my favorite bands from my childhood and still as an adult. There is so many songs to choose from.
Them first music video for any single. They've used the clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" to illustrate perfectly what's going on in this song!!!!

Fade to black is one of their best songs too and welcome to the metallica family
Deepest metal song ever made. What a way to bring the plight of our war torn youth to light!!
The basic message is that “WAR IS HELL!” Peace and love to all. Live and let live, bust first, do no harm.
I recommend that you guys react to of course metallica. But you guys should react to Welcome Home ( Sanitarium ).
That song is really good. I think they may also enjoy creeping death.
I agree
Probably one of my favorites 🤟
Agreed...🌹
Aye guys great to see you react to Metallica, great old school band ;)
I've been enjoying your channel, been watching some Bill Burr, Tom MacDonald, etc.
You guys are awesome!
This song represents what humankind has accomplished with wars. Soldier after soldier with deep scars, soul and body.
The scenes you watched are from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun". So the soldier came back home without limbs cause of a mine. Couldn't speak, so basically no form of communication and trapped in his own mind, not knowing if he was awake or dreaming, just a constant torture.

Anyway best wishes to you 2
I hear this song in 1989 for the first time...beautiful...

One of the best reactions. You guys were shocked 😮 this is metal 🤘🏼and yes, a lot of deep message behind it, metal music at its finest.
Brought metal to the world..and it was good.
For years they said this was devil music, now that you have watched now you can see how Metallica are the GOATS
Lol cause singing please god help me is devil music😂
To think james Hetfield wrote this song when he was 21 years old, amazing
They were In their mid twenties when they wrote this
I think he was 24, since the album came out when he was 25 actually
25, even 26
Johnny got his gun
Hetfield did not write this, it was Hammet
I remember their show back in June 2017 in Denver. This was their third song in, they stopped the show for a passing lightning storm right above us, and had to take shelter. The rumbles in that stadium that night. Great show after the storm passed.
Metallica was the biggest underground group of all time! You should listen to For whom the Bell tolls or Wherever I may roam next
It’s a song based on a book written and later made into a movie, by Dalton Trumbo “Johnny got his gun” a World War 1 novel about a traumatic casualty of a soldier who survived the war but lost his voice, his hearing, his sight, both arms and legs! He simply living on a machine and IV’s. He only has his thoughts with no one to talk to but himself. The song is based on a soldiers perspective, basically it can be about any war. This includes soldiers going through PTSD. When I was in Iraq war for my 4th time, I lost so many friends, I started to question why did I survive 7 combat tours?!? This song and Faded To Black helped me recover some on my PTSD issues then and now! When ever I feel really down and unsure about myself? I listen to both One & Faded to Black to help me some what understand my PTSD moments!! Thanks for your honest opinions not using political rhetoric like other channels but listening with your heart and opened mind!!! I thank you for your service to our Country!!! 🇺🇸
You just made me respect y'all even more now. That's one of the best songs ever. I hoped you liked it.
I love that Metallica bought the rights to the film, Johnny get your gun, to use the clips in the video.
The message I took from this video is this:
1) War is an old man's game.
2) War has horrific consequences.
3) Authority does not care about wounded soldiers.
4) This song is why I love Metallica.
To the Army 🪖 guys that get hurt 🤕 seen them live in concert singing this song, that's deep 🇺🇸
The way to feel the emotion, is to understand that the pain/horror content of each song is taken into context as a 3rd party character. Now,
thinking of it that way will mentally pull you out being terrified..Its not you in the video, now your going to be in the right mindframe, now when you get the emotion of immense sadness and despair at the end of the video, right as reach peak disbelief, then you swing that emotion into how lucky we all are to not have had to go through these people's circumstances, it should remind us all that we have blessings all around us. The Men and Woman who went into the Wars of history,
If you think about it, so many lives lost to fight for us to be here, including the lives of the enemy, should give you a sense of the magnitude of how much heaven and earth it took for us to be so blessed today. Bless you both as well, you two together put on a hell of a show, Peace! LuV!🍦🍦Ice Cream!!
This just shows the power of music and the story it tells! Great song!
Metallica had an album titled S&M. They played with a symphony, so S&M was Symphony and Metallica. Great album.
Yea just came out
Thank you for reacting to this one. It's even better live. When concerts are allowed again, I HIGHLY recommend going to see them.
This is one of my favorite songs ever, and def. my favorite by this band! Im so glad you all decided to do a reaction vid to this :)
Love this video, love Metallica and also love Jason Robards as the father - what a great actor!
You're correct, so sorry for vets that go thru any war.
I love how people are still discovering this masterpiece
Yes Metallica was a great Rock band. This song hit hard and as a soldier I understand the meaning behind the song. Now I'm a veteran me and my husband are both veterans. But please react to Pantera cemetery gates or cowboys from hell.
Ladies and gentlemen SHE gets it! Great reaction from the both of you. Thank you and have a great day.
This is based on a movie about WW I and it is about the horrors of war and what some soldiers through when they come home. You guys got the message quite well.
Great masterpiece!!! Special and genuine style! I appreciate when people react to other genres when rock is not your first choice, i really appreciate your reactions to rage against the machine and Metallica... This song is called ONE because he lost limbs and senses cuz the war and rather die
Loved the looks on both of your faces like..."what did we just see?!!" LOL. Thank you for your reactions.
There is ALOT of reaction videos out there now but I love yours because you embrace all genres of music & your attitude towards each other & life is really inspirational.
Horns up 🤘

Hello you two! I truly hope that you and your Family and Friends are healthy and safe! Others who have commented have succinctly explained the; "Johnny Got His Gun", book and movie that Metallica brilliantly integrated into their video. Just wanted to give a shout out though to Metallica for winning the Grammy for this song in 1988!! They played this as it is in this production of the vid. It's just awesome to see harder Metal Bands appreciated for their obvious artistic talent and abilities. : ) Virtual Hugs!
Metallica-Master of puppets live in Seattle 1989
Let’s please shout out to our military service folk and veterans, and our wounded warriors. Those guys who fought for something that they truly believed in and wanted.
The footage is from an old movie called Johnny Got His Gun (1971), about a soldier during World War 1, who got blown up by a mortar shell. He lost his arms, legs, hearing, voice, and everything but his inner, torturous thoughts with no way to communicate or do anything about it. A literal 'basket case' and a living hell. He was asking, through Morse Code, that someone put him out of his misery. Sometimes death is better.
He's left just a torso. No sight , voice or hearing. Is that existing? Respect to all soldiers past and present.
Now let me just tell you this was the most AMAZING SONG during the Big 4 at Yankee stadium. The place erupted like the Yankees won the World Series. Unforgettable.
One. Truly by himself. "Trapped in myself body my holding cell"
Vid was from a movie called Johnny got his gun,based on the book by Dalton Trumbo. He was blacklisted during the McCarthy witch hunt and later wrote the screenplay to Spartacus under a pseudonym.
For sure react to Metallica's Sanitarium. That song is in a league of its own
This song was from the movie johnnies got a gun that was based on a book of the same name about a solder vwho lost his arms, legs, sight and voice but was kept alive by machines if you read the book have lots of keanex because it is a tear jerker.
My favorite Metallica song! You guys are so awesome. You have such great energy and, at the risk of sounding shallow, you are a beautiful couple and I LOVE that you're always so well put together and your outfits always match.
The movie does have a few bright spots. The nurse opens the curtains, so he learns to count the days by the sun's warmth on his skin. He learns to tell when he's awake or asleep by whether he controls the images in his mind's eye or they control him. He learns to tell who is in the room by the number of footsteps and how heavy they are. In the end, though, the military officer draws the curtains after he thwarts the nurse, thereby destroying his most important connection to the outside world.
The hospital scenes are from a 1971 movie Johnny Got His Gun (fiction inspired by a gruesome true story about a Canadian soldier from World War I. During battle, a mortar shell hits very close to "Johnny" Joe Bonham, causing severe physical damage.). It's definitely an anti-war song. TOTAL BANGER!!!!!!!!
Just brilliant! Metallica, none better.
To help put this video into context, the footage in it is from the 1971 movie "Johnny Got His Gun" based on the classic novel by the same name... It's an anti-war film that was made and released during the Vietnam War Era and shines a light on the horrors and ignorance of war.
I was actually up watching the Headbanger's Ball on MTV for the world premier of this video! I think I still have it on VHS tucked away somewhere. it still gives me goosebumps.
Same here. My friends and I were so excited for it and BAM. Frikkin brilliant, to this day, and sadly as relevant.
That was awesome a reaction....
Great way to show the pain of a soldier...
Until it's sleeps...
Great song with video to show the pain of a drug addict... please react..new subscriber love from Florida 🌴
This was from a book called Johnny Got His Gun by guy named Dalton Trumbo. He was blacklisted in Hollywood in the 40s when Senator Joe McCarthy said that Communists were everywhere. He wrote the screen play for the movie Spartacus. This was Metallica's first video they made.
One of my favorites from them. Thanks for reacting to this one.
My favorite Metallica song 💯‼️♥️🙌🏼
Metal is often times the vessel for the messages of people about issues/history that society can be too thin to talk about... Or want to think about. Our societies need to remember about our suffered past or we can be susceptible to walk about into the same problems again. Do not let other's suffering be in vein. We need to love each other.
From an old book, Johnny Got His Gun, later turned into the movie used in tge video. Soldier lost his arms, legs, and face. Couldn't hear, speak, or see. Was using Morris code by hitting his head against the pillow. Someone finally recognized what he was saying..."Kill me."
This is my favorite Metallica song my top 3 are 1. One 2. Nothing Else Matters 3. Turn The Page ( A Bob Segar cover if you react to it make sure you get the official video) Welcome to Metallica Land hold on for the ride! 💜🤘🏾
Loved the pause at the end. This is hardcore. Creeped me out when I was a teenager.
Sometimes the greatest hell is being stuck in your own mind in a constant state of pain and there is no One that can help you or is stopped from helping you because it's not in their interest.
Johnny Got His Gun is such a deep movie and I am glad Metallica used it. 1st time that I saw this video, I already knew the movie, for I watched with my family as a kid.
Yes, I am older.
If you never heard this song...then went into it knowing that the man this is about had a healthy brain, but no speech, vision, hearing, or limbs (meaning he can't communicate anything!) but wanted to die!!! It is such a hard song to hear without crying!!! I get tears in my eyes everytime I hear, and hated Heavy Metal growing up in the 1980's. Metallica changed all that! I was a huge rap and pop fan back then. This is a song that anyone who understands it, can't deny how special it is and the message they are trying to send!
Your reaction pretty well matched mine when I first heard this. As you say, it's DEEP.
One of my best friends was a Korean War vet. He always said most men were willing to die for their country, but not be maimed just short of death for a lifetime. He came back intact, but some of his buddy's fates haunted him to his last day.
To me its the best song they ever did!
Great song to react to. As others have said, this song is in essence an anti war song. The clips of the movie they use can be tough to watch but I think that is the entire point. If we want to send our young men and women off to war, we shouldnt hide from the dark sides of war. Its not just about the victories, its about the price we pay to achieve those victories.
When I hear and see people disrespecting our Military and our Flag, I don't think anything can enrage me more. What those men and women go through to defend our freedom is so remarkable and so selfless, they deserve a hell of a lot more than they receive! We have athletes that can throw a ball in a hoop and they are worshiped while these heroes are just struggling to stay afloat or are living on the streets trying to stay alive. Makes no sense.......
It's about a soldier who stepped on a landmine and lost everything. He was being fed through a tube and had all kinds of machines hooked up that were keeping him alive. He preferred death to the painful life he was experiencing.
This actually scenes from an antiwar movie called Johnny got his gun from the early 70s. Metallica bought the rights to the movie just for this video. I would highly recommend watching it.
When you feel it you know you're human.
woah. was the guy on the bed. the little boy in the begginning asking what was democracy?
Metallica has done quite a few songs that center around war and the horrors. Disposable Hero, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Don’t Tread On Me these are a few and they’re all amazing.
Johnny got his gun was a novel from the early 1900's, They made a movie based on the book. The movie was made in 1939.
