I don't think anyone was ready for the first time hearing One
Yeah you’re right. As a ten year old kid, this song is one that shaped my whole life. It basically got me into music completely. This song and Epic by Faith No More were the two songs that got me into music. This song had a profound impact on my views on life, on war, critical thought. Literally life shaping.
This is my first time today. I had no idea that i would actually like Metallica.
I was always glued to the TV everytime this video came on.
Heard it the day it came out and loved it.
As a Veteran that song has been hitting hard for 30 years...A suggestion try Ozzy Osborne with Motorhead " Hellraiser" 30th anniversary great song and video...
This old Metallica fan loves watching young peoples fall in love with these great works of art.
I’m 23 and always loved it, my dad played it a lot as a kid. Fkin awesome to watch people hear such mind boggling shit for the first time
Cheers btw 🍺
The new works of garbage are a joke, they've stifled art for a new leftwing Orwellian nightmare... unfortunately
Same been riding with this band since 86 !!!!
Yes.
"Hes a product of your profession, not mine." One of the coldest lines ever delivered in a movie...Chills me every time I hear it.
That's my favorite line. I was just thinking about that, and if anyone else really likes it.
Yes, that and the fact that it's bullshit.
“Death has a dignity all its own”. I didn’t really fully understand it when I was younger. But as I’m much older and have seen much more life and death, I now fully understand it. And it’s incredibly true.
@@jimmymac4559
I definitely see it for the situation that he's in.
@@jimmymac4559 See "Death Be Not Proud" Great book.
My Uncle sacrificed himself in the Korean War by jumping on a grenade and he saved his own troops. The first time I heard this song he was the only thing I could think of.
Sorry for your loss, your uncle was a brave man.
Your uncle is an absolute legend and hero.
Those drum riffs represent machine guns...Metallica captures everything
👍 And Morse Code.
And bombs@@SugahShy
It’s Morse for “SOS”
Well done hanging in there Amber, specially when you can easily put yourself in someone else's shoes, makes it hit harder. I applaud you ma'am, your reaction was stronger than most, I still get teary eyed when hearing this one. Awesome song!
Amber Metallica always has a deep message in their songs. It's the reason their music has endured so long. This song is designed to hit you hard and make you think, but basically it's an anti-war message. That we should rethink why we support war and realize that what happened to this man is not just an unfortunate event, but something we as a society chose to engage in. Metallica is using the shock value to challenge our glorification of war. Thank you for sticking with it. Look at what they say in their songs first and you will appreciate their music much more.
ive been listening to this song and video since release and it still gets to me. always will i suppose
@@BarryGGould Think you should start worrying when it no longer gets to you.
@@phazerboy very well put. i agree
Agreed!
Seeing Amber cry and headbang at the same time really shows what timeless musical classics were written for. The great ones touch your soul
Touch everyone's soul
You can see it in her face, she feels this song so much.
Amber otuched your soul? Sounds like a lawsuit to me! Did you consent, a NDA, anything?
Asking for a lawtuber....
It's so amazing watching the two completely different reactions to this song, simultaneously. Jay is absolutely rocking out and head banging to the music, while Amber is completely falling apart and melting before our eyes because of the story. I totally get both reactions, and both are just as pure and real as the conflict of emotions that rise up in me while listening to and watching this.
Please don't take this the wrong way, because it comes only from a heart of compassion...I just wanted to give Amber a hug while watching this. If I have ever seen someone in desperate need of a hug, it was her struggling to get through this song.
God bless you both for being the loving, caring, classy, uplifting people that you are!
Well said!!!!
Fade to Black would hit Amber hard
The best metal video ever made,!
Agree on ALL counts!
Music, lyrics and video are a masterpiece all together, but one could ‘enjoy’ those seperate.
Jay is enjoying the music like I did the first years, when I was only 11 or 12 years old. But I didn’t speak English back then and the video wasn’t on Dutch tv. The song is great, but it’s about a horrible subject and to the point.
Amber is really listening.
The video playing in the background is from a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun" About a man severely disfigured from war and the psychological state he languishes in. It has a very strong anti war message as well as the trauma the soldiers face in war.
ruclips.net/video/uUfBVLAY_pU/видео.html
I hope they will watch the Movie.
the legendary Jason Robards!
Dalton Trumbon. I think that’s it. Wrote the book. Very nightmarish
My Grandfather a WW2 a veteran and Mother, Cousin it painted knew that movie. I saw it and it was a sobering reality check that veteran's are not nameless faceless POW's MIA's. You are owned locked stock and barrel with no fucks given.
My Mother doesn't regret her time so much as time lost. If you know, you know.
James wrote this about the Book as it was one of his favorite books.
This video absolutely blew up MTV when it debuted. Metallica had resisted doing music videos throughout their career up to that point, and when they finally relented and decided to release their first music video, this is what they presented to the world. It was a game-changer for metal music on MTV and it put them on course for a whole new chapter in their career. It is a stunning piece of (short) musical cinema, IMO.
Yes you’re right this video got them to superstardom
Correct
I like to say they finally decided to tell the MTV world "Hold my beer" and gave us this masterpiece.
Vero, prima venivano chiamati "la band senza immagine".
The movie clips are from an old movie called, Johnny Got His Gun Today. He was blown apart and his jaw was blown off. The movie is mostly his thoughts like it shows here. The nurse and doctors eventually realize that his frantic head movements are actually him using Morse Code and they are able to communicate with him.
Do they eventually put him out of his misery? I hope so.
Johnny got his gun was required reading when I was in high school. I’ve read it more times than I can remember. Dalton Trumbull was charged as a spy after writing this book
@@mst1740 they don't. The nurse tries, but her attempt is thwarted.
He lost his arms, his legs, his face. The movie is based on the book written by Dalton Trumbo in the 1930s. I read it in high school.
The Book was an anti war novel after ww I. Gained popularity during Vietnam. Thus the movie
The story is intense. The movie is downright scary, and the book will give you nightmares. Metallica did an excellent job putting a classic antiwar story to music.
Another movie that had a trippy scene, and stars Jason Robards is "A Boy And His Dog".
Good Lord. There is a book? Further down the rabbit hole I slide.
@@Databyter Yes, there's a book. Johnny got his gun. It is soooo good, made me cry my face off, this book should be a must for everyone.
Metallica single-handedly brought Metal to the world with “One” song. Absolute legends…
I don’t know if this was my first time hearing heavy metal, but it’s the first I remember for sure. I was about 7 yrs old when the video premiered, and it was obviously unforgettable. Phil Anselmo’s mom was close with my family back in New Orleans, so I got an education in metal over the next couple years after that seeing their early Pantera shows with him. But this song was my metal intro for all intents and purposes.
Dude..led zeppelin invented heavy metal come on man show alil respect my man black sabbath was there as well..now don't get me wrong Metallica kicks ass fo sho but metal was around years b4 tallica..i gotta go hump a leg catcha later.
I agree with this. I was 10 when this came out. I wasn't a metal fan. I liked rock, I liked hip hop, pop, but never got into metal. Then one day my cousin (who also wasn't a metal fan) said, "have you heard about that song One by Metallica?", We bought the And Justice For All cassette that day, we had to hear what people were talking about. After that I was a metal fan.
More like they brought this style of Metal (Speed/Thrash) to the world. Metal had been around, in various forms. since the 60's with Black Sabbath, which to me is Metal in its purest form. Then you had bands like Led Zepplin, KISS, Van Halen, Motorhead, and Quiet Riot, leading into the 80's Metal Explosion. Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant, Ratt, WASP, Def Lepard, and many others helped to make Glam/Hair Metal the standard for a decade. Metalica and Megadeath introduced fans to a whole new genre by the late 80's. And by the early 90's, for the most part, it was over. While many bands remained wildly popular (especially Metallica) Heavy Metal's era was over.
BTW, I think I was 19 when I first saw this video on Headbangers Ball. And I can still remember the looks on James Hetfield's face when they performed this song at the Grammy's.
Keith Dean you hit the nail on the metal head! 💥
As an army vet with 2 deployments I understand this song in a very real way. When I saw Amber start to get emotional, I lost it and the tears flowed freely and I'm not ashamed. They so beautifully put emotions into this song that helps others understand what it can be like when we get back home. A large part of us stays in the war zone and flash backs make living back home difficult at times. Thank you both so very much for your love and respect of the military, it's greatly appreciated.
I would like to suggest fade to black, there's a version set with saving private Ryan as the back ground, you won't be disappointed
Hope you're doing well m8!! Appreciate your service
When you said "a large part of us stays in the war zone" it immediately reminded me of a Vietnam vet I got to know when my mom was in a nursing home near the end of her life. He once said "Sometimes the part I left behind tries to reach out and pull me back. It can be hard to live with. But then sometimes the part of me that came back tries to reach out and drag what I left behind into this reality. That's what really scares me because while I didn't come back the same person I left as, a lot of what got left behind is something I never want to be part of me again."
My dad is a Vietnam vet dying of cancer. My son is a twice deployed vet. This song hit hard even before I gave birth to him. Now my son is a police officer and it’s doubly hard on U.S soil. Don’t think first responders don’t feel this too because they absolutely do. Love to all who serve and all first responders 💙❤️💙❤️
💝🙏
me too brother. army vet and navy vet. iraq. hope you are well.. god bless you....
I love that both of you can appreciate these old, sophisticated and emotional songs. That's pretty rare nowadays! Thumbs up!
Yeah they're truly adults. Didn't eyeroll "omg this is so angry" and turn it to ASMR or coloring books to heal the trauma that was hearing metal for 15 seconds.
I hate seeing Amber cry, but I'm always so touched by her empathy. ((Hugs)) 😥❤
She is amazingly and warmly sympathetic. People confuse that with empathy. Empathy is actually a relatively new term. Sympathy is when you feel for another and react to that. Empathy is sort of a negative thing because someone claims to actually BE in someone else's pain which is basically impossible without the experience of it. An example would be, being sympathetic to the pain and suffering a solder returning from the war is going through, but if you have not been in war yourself there is NO WAY you could be empathic to them.
Agreed. But the song/video did it's job .
I second the motion.
She sees where the world is headed
@@jondorr4011 I second That Emotion..
Props to Lars on this one, he banged out some sweet drums here.
Saw these guys in Minneapolis a couple of years back. When they started playing this song, you could see a plane landing at the local airport. It looked like a copter landing in an LZ. It was intense.
War is hell. WWI was particularly so. I appreciate Metallica paying tribute to the vets of that war.
Lars is playing Morse code on the kick drum in this. S.O.S
He takes a lot of flack…including from me, but he is spot on here.
Yup. This was his moment. He took it when he got that annoying bass guitar out of the way. Lol
@@josephvandiver6912 wow I never thought of that 😳
apparently Lars did the double bass part in one take
I was 13 when "creeping death" was released. My very progressive church with an extremely progressive youth minister used the song to teach about the book of "Exodus" and the passover. Metallica was never just about the sonic boom of their sounds alone. Their lyrics, almost always told a great story too. Combined together, sound and lyric, and you get some of the best music ever written.
lol I was 27 when it came out ✌❤☮
Creeping death live Moscow 1991 best live song EVER!!
My father was force to go Vietnam at 17, a child, scared to death. He lost his leg and had multiple other injuries but survived. I can’t imagine being a kids from the city and being dropped of in the middle of the jungle and handed a gun. He was a Marine and fought on the ground up and personal. The worse thing about it is he was called a murder when he returned. What people didn’t understand is, he never wanted to go, he even fled once and was quickly caught. He survived not murdered. This song touches me so deep ❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼
💔
As a Marine he was in a place he did ask to be but
was doing his duty. Civilians failed to understand he did not set policy, but they did thru elected officials. I served during that time but missed Nam. I as most vets do support free speech even such as this, but it has responsibilities. This man served his country whether he supported that policy or not. A serviceman doe does not get to choose his duty. God bless your father and thank him for his service.
I feel you..
At 17 ??? That's a f*ckin' disgrace!! Sorry for my words, but that's criminal. Johnson and Nixon were the worst and the people behind them much worser! To send kids to war is something the Ayatollahs of Iran did and they were severely criticized for it! The hypocrisy of the US Government, it's unbelievable!
Dang...I recommend you to hear the song M.I.A by Avenged Sevenfold if you haven't heard it.
The part where Lars Ulrich is wearing out the snare drum is replicating machine gun fire. If y’all ever get a chance to see them in concert, you have to go. By far and hands down the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
I sincerely recommend their “Fade to black”. Beautiful and dark. Amazing guitars, amazing lyrics. I think you’ll both like it ❤️.
A must
That song will speak to your soul!
But it must be the live version.. the Belgium live 2019 version is amazing.
Yes!
@@relevantbrother8964 no it’s always better to hear the studio version first
Master of Puppets- Metallica. many headbangers think this is one of the best songs EVER and it’s sooo good. Guys love to see your reaction to this classic!
YES!!!!!! 👍 👍 👍
This song will get you all on the heavy metal train, choo chooooo
Sending love to every soldier that struggles with ongoing physical/ mental issues due to military service.You are loved❣Mettallica made us feel every emotion,and as always they are Metal Masters!👊
... and it's an amazing coincidence that our government is struggling with getting our vets the help they need. Our vets gave their all for this country, and deserve all the help they need!
As a vet, served 2 deployments with the 82nd Airborne division out of Fort Bragg N.C. thank you for being an American worth serving.
I'm fond of telling my guys and others that served that we signed up to bear these scars and mental wounds so our loved ones and fellow Americans wouldn't have to. You'll be amazed at how much of a positive effect it has when you say a simple thank you to us.
We're usually sheepish and quietly say your welcome, but inside that lifts us up for days and weeks knowing our sacrifices weren't in vain.
There is no longer any reason for any American soldier to fight on foreign territory. We didn't begin anything with them nor do we intend to.
Disposable Heroes was another heavy (but not as much of a direct hit in the "feels") anti-war one on their previous album, Master of Puppets, and before that on Ride the Lightning, there was For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Metallica made sure we knew they were not anti-American with their delving into the horrors of war with Don't Tread on Me on the next album, the black album.
The way the drums and guitars simulate the machine gun fire is part of what makes this song hit so hard.
This is one of the all time best metal songs. Truly a classic.
Please react to Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls". It's a banger. Very good song
Or Harvester of Sorrow..
They already reacted to *For Whom the bell tolls."
@@relevantbrother8964 Thank you for letting me know
@@lygiaberney9958pleasure... they've also reacted to the Unforgiven early on.
So what you guys saw in the video, and basically what the song is saying, is based on the 1939 novel and 1971 film of the same name called "Johnny Got His Gun". It's about a WW1 American soldier who accidentally steps on a landmine during battle. The explosion leaves him critically injured: All four limbs, his jaw, his eyes, his nose, and his ears all blown off. But he is still conscious. And through his mind, while drifting between reality and memories of his childhood with his father and girlfriend, he starts growing insane and wants to kill himself rather than spend the rest of his life trapped in a useless body with no arms and no legs, and unable to move, see, hear, or speak.
👍
Just put a bullet in my head!!😮
“Accidentally”… as opposed to on purpose? I’m drunk. Sending love lol
@@danjohnson2986 😂 Well you're also probably distracted what being part of The Miami Vice police force.
RUclips link to the full Johnny Got His Gun movie.
ruclips.net/video/uUfBVLAY_pU/видео.html
As others have pointed out, it uses clips from the 1971 movie “Johnny Got His Gun” which was based on a 1939 book of the same name. I read the book in a Literature of War class in high school but haven’t watch the full movie because I’m still haunted by the book. Metallica actually bought the rights to the movie so they could show the video without any royalty issues.
Y'all should watch the movie, for the other channel.
Surely they've read it right? Aren't they teachers?
I've never seen the movie (other than clips in the vid), but this is the only book I have ever read twice. Once in high school (inspired by this song) and again in a "Madness in Literature" class in college. It is still one of my favorites and the most compelling book I have ever read.
@@eljobo3258 it is a rather old book with some controversial elements and it really depends on what they taught. This was a very heavy subject matter for upperclassmen in our Literature of War class around 1986. It is a very good and essential book but it also “haunts” me, knowing his fate.
@@eljobo3258 I just googled it. Jay teaches geography and coaches sports. Amber was a physical education teacher. The book wasn’t very mainstream and unlikely for them need it for their education degrees unless they were minoring in something like history, politics or social studies, though geography can be related to those subjects.
This song and Unforgiven, both just grab ahold of my heart and squeeze until I can barely breathe. Both have amazing music, but when combined with the very deep and powerful lyrics, both of them impact me like a kick in the ribs from a horse.
Great reaction guys. I'm still rooting for you both to react to "Silent Lucidity" from Queensryche. You and Amber (especially) will love it.
“One” is always a very hard song the first go round. Because you’re so focused on what the soldier is trying to say. When you realize he’s begging for death it hits you.
And as Amber pointed out as a parent, mothers more so, hearing someone cry out for their parents brings it close to home.
Amber you got through it better than I thought from reading this video title.
This is what’s so amazing about music. It can make you feel a ton of emotion every time you hear the same song. Music in general can set a mood or bring you up or down depending on how you feel.
It can bring back great memories or make you suffer through bad ones again.
Nothing else can do that in my opinion
The whole "Ride the Lightning" album is FIRE!!!! Please listen to that... "One", is awesome as well... Really anything off the 1st 5 albums totally ROCK!!!!
One is on "justice". But lightning n puppets were awesome too
@@eldoc2020 I was referring to the song"One", that they were watching... The 1st 5 albums, "Kill 'em All", "Ride The Lightning", "Master of Puppets", "And Justice For All", and the "Black" album, are all awesome, and rock....
@@richardhenderson9767 1000% Agreed to the top 5!! Please react to them!!!
“Creeping Death” would be my first choice, I don’t think Amber is ready for “Fade to Black” right after “One”.
LOVED how Amber described it as “beautifully dark”…..LOVE that….you definitely took the words outta my mouth….Amber, you’re making me proud as a metal head myself 🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤🤘🏽🖤
This song always brings a tear to my Eye, one of the many reasons is this was the album that was Recorded after Cliff Burton tragically passed away 😢 So I always looked at the Album “AND JUSTICE FOR ALL” as an Album dedicated to Cliff’s memory….He would have wanted the Band to Continue even when he was gone….RIP Cliff, You’ll always be part of METALLICA 😢🌹🪦🎸
One of the best reactions ever! Love you both and extra props to Amber for making it thru this immensely intense song.
Mmm guys this song makes me think when the war heroes come back home and they are not the same guys all I have to say is that if you have a family member that come home please help them as much as you can they need as much support as they can get 😭❤️
Another heavy subject song and music video is "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. As educators, it'll probably be extra impactful on you guys- watch the uncensored version, if you ever get around to it.
This song is emotionally moving for any veterans, no matter how many times one hears it.
Five Finger Death Punch and their Wrong Side of Heaven, or their cover of Offspring's Gone Away; are also worth checking out.
FFDP is wow
This song breaks me. Imagine being trapped only with the ability to hear. This song gets me every time!
Couldn’t even hear. Only sense he had was the physical feeling of being touched. He was trapped in nothing but darkness and silence.
At 8:38, you can get he says that he can’t hear anything either
PTSD can make you feel this way. My husband was deployed 4 times. His last time hit a roadside bomb. His brain was shaken. He lost control of his emotions. This song hits home I'm sure to many soldiers.
What a legend for his & your families sacrifice, regardless of his injuries & country he served. Much love & respect from Australia.
@@steveswafen2528 thank you
One day, I hope people will realize that we shouldn't be killing each other and these poor men will no longer have to suffer.
You guys should react to more Metallica…
"Master of Puppets", "Creeping Death", "Battery", "Nothing Else Matters", "Whiplash", "Fade to Black", "Seek & Destroy", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "Disposable Heroes", "Blackened", "Harvester of Sorrow", "Enter Sandman", "Sad But True", "Wherever I May Roam", "My Friend of Misery"
🎸🤘
Metallica gives you HEAVY Baby !!!
Just say Everything Metallica. Lol, and I agree.
I highly recommend Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Recently even Sir Elton John called it one of the best songs ever written.
Meh
Me said it was THE best song ever written.
Lol, that song was lazy writing/playing by the band for an obvious radio play time cash grab (as was The Unforgiven). It's basically the reason why I stopped listening to them after that album. Kill 'Em All to ...And Justice for All are the only relevant albums.
Saw the Black Album tour, we joked at the preppies there, "They're here for Nothing Else Matters"
@@noladr It's very likely that Elton John knows more about great music than you do.
She just summed this up the best way i could describe it..
"It's beautifully dark".
Alot of people dont notice the church style chorus to the words "Now the the world is gone im just one, oh god help me,.. Hold my braath as i wish for death, oh please god wake me".
Which is purposeful.
The snare drum is the machine guns going off in war!
I don't think nobody was ready for this song, but it is still one of my favorite by them. This is a very deep song and y'all also need to check out "Janie's got a Gun" by Aerosmith. It also is a very deep song about a subject that nobody at the time wanted to talk about. Stevin Tyler and Joe Perry ( the lead guitarist) wrote the song and made it work and become one of their monster hits.
Might be a bit much for Amber........it is one of my favorite songs thou.
@@busterbell871n you right but I hope if they do it they watch the video , couse if they gonna do it do it right.
@@randallholliday7214 johhny got his gun is the movie
It's fucking heavy. Amber handled it just fine. Just needs to process.
Another rough one is Jeremy, especially the video.
Oh hell yes! This is my favorite Metallica song to watch people react to. At least with the video.
I grew up listening to Metallica and watching this video and was never really affected by it, but watching you guys today and seeing this video now in my late 30's is absolutely no mistaking the emotion I feel.
My brother died from a drunk driving accident in 1987 6 weeks after graduation actually buried a day away from my 4th birthday… he was in a coma and the drs told my mom he was brain dead and they agreed to pull the plug, when the preacher at the hospital came to the room to pray with my parents before pulling the plug my mom said one tear came down my brothers face…. Growing up I always found this song hard as it related to my brother probably not brain dead but aware(it was the 80’s and we’re a small town, so medicine wasn’t what it is now)…. I always have a hard time with this song.
Please please 🙏 do FADE TO BLACK next by METALLICA. It's my personal favorite. It's another dark subject matter song dealing with depression, suicide, loneliness, and is so rich in music and feelings that it actual deserves to be called a masterpiece! The guitar solo at the end us absolutely priceless. Thanks and keep smiling 🤘 🙂
This cd is in my car right now….gold standard of metal, still killin it today…love Metallica 💕🤘🏼✨
You would both love orion, it's an instrumental and it's absolutely gorgeous!
If you know the story behind the masterpiece that is "Orion", it hits even heavier and more emotionally than "One" does.
No way. The gold standard is definitely Master of Puppets album.
@@willg.4067,
I'd like to know more about it.
@@brianmelendy1194 I guess I wasn’t clear, I meant that the BAND is the gold standard of Metal…their ‘best’ song and album are infinitely debatable 🤘🏼💕 but just so you know, I have a master of puppets T-shirt, that CD is also in my car lol and for me, it’s almost impossible to name a favorite, but the one thing I know for sure is that seeing Metallica live back in the ‘90s was definitely one of the highlights of my life.
This song is what I think of when people say they don't like or understand metal (heavy metal, hard rock, the even more artistically brutal subgenres). There are times when it's the only thing that makes sense, and finding musicality in darkness is insanely intense. And yeah, cathartic.
I'm pretty much past my metal days (tho, dang, those concerts were memorable) but Metallica classics can still take me back. Suddenly feeling the urge to dig out Turn The Page and Unforgiven (II, I think, today.)
For most of my life (i'm late 50's now) I've had people ask "why do you listen to that crap ? It's just noise" Having watched a lot of reaction channels now over the last 5 years, with people from very different cultures and musical tastes appreciating, if not absolutely loving what they are hearing, I feel totally justified in my long-held belief that this music ranks amongst the greatest music (and lyrics) our species has ever created.
"There are times when it's the only thing that makes sense, and finding musicality in darkness is insanely intense." I've never read a better quote to explain why I listen to this music!!
@@Andy-ng9lz While I think your comments are perhaps just a tiny bit hyperbolic, I will say that Metallica holds a firm and well-deserved spot up there on the list of "important" music.🤘
@@MissAstorDancerHyperbolic? That's how the man think, that's what good music does the brain when you deep in it.
Metallica won a Grammy for this song for best metal performance
An absolute metal masterpiece!!!

One is the greatest Metal song ever recorded
I would recommend watching "Johnny Got his Gun", upon which this song is based for more context.
I know Amber said that the harder stuff is a bit out of her range, but PLEASE check out Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Great story, great message, great everything
The video adds a layer that you need to understand the true meaning of this song! Thanks to all that have served and sacrificed!
Great song, really long movie (Johnny Got His Gun 1971) but terrifying subject matter. Stevie Wonder's reaction to this song when they played it live at the Grammy's , especially when it kicks in - startled him
"Kill Me, Kill Me over n over an over again"
So...I've always disliked when reactors react to this specific version of this song, because I found that ALL of them (except for one) have gotten distracted by trying to figure out the movie clips and what's going on that it's distracted them from the song and the music.
In my opinion that's why, Jay, I think that you appreciated this song so much more this 2nd time around. Because you already knew the story you were not distracted trying to piece it together.
I completely agree with you.
Yes.
Same. The video and audio clips from that movie take away from the song. It's a great song that deserves all of the attention of the listener.
She gets it. She gets the story, the writing. The emotion.Metallica did NOT EVER want to go mainstream, the hated the "posers", but something happened. This... Is their first video ever they did to put theirselves out there. The Killed it.
Amber needs a holy water cleansing now , I just love her , she’s so pure it’s adorable 🥰
Everytime I hear those drums going in the last half. It sounds like they are doing an amazing job at portraying gunfire. Both the instrumental and the story really pull you in and the combo is perfection!!
Love you took the time to listen and appreciate this song. The realities of war are harsh and devastating. We should not turn away from the suffering. We should not hide from it. Grieve with our fellow humans, speak out against war and advocate peace where we can. We cannot rid the world of suffering but should never ignore it. Don't feel I'm expressing this well... If you haven't already listen to "on the turning away by pink Floyd" and "under pressure by Queen". Love peace and happiness to you and your family.
This is one of Metalica's gut wrenching songs ever, they bought the movie, so it cannot be used by anyone else, and honestly, it is my favorite song of theirs...
I think it was less a matter of preventing others from using it, and more so they didn't have to pay royalties every time the video was played. It was just cheaper in the end to buy the movie outright.
I always hated the movie dialogue over the song. The song doesn't need some dumb movie ruining the guitar.
My high school band played a cover of this track. It was the most physically grueling song I think I've ever played, and by the end everyone was drenched in sweat. Amazing track. Imagine what it would sound like if Lars hadn't turned off the bass track.
Such the rabbit hole u exposed her to. Metallica is notorious for diving into hard , or emotional topics. And the lyrics are powerful. They run the gambit. Thoughts of suicide, anti war, false religion, drug addiction, corruption in government, they have no filter on their thoughts. And they should not. Who said thrash metal was just screaming? Its more deep than that. And they convey the feeling soo well through the instruments. Liked the 1st reaction, loved the 2nd with u both. ❤️
Proud of Mama! The song is written specifically about the character in the movie, makes the themes that much more intense, the song on its own doesn't have the dialogue, I suggest Orion for the next one, it's an instrumental, absolutely beautiful song
This is my favorite song by Mettalica because it has the strength and power of early Mettallica but there is more to it than most of their early sons. It is more musical. Just a better piece of writing words and music. The opening really does it for me. This is not just a simple thrash metal song. It is much more.
I’ve never seen the movie “Johnny Got His Gun,”
I was watching MTV when this video PREMIERED IN 1988.
But only just now have I realized what a good actor the soldier is. Damn.
when i was a teenager, loving this music, i was ostracized, called a "metal head" but it was the best music made during that time.
I've heard this song so many times and love it, but watching Amber's reaction, so raw and heartfelt, you had me welling up too! 😭
Takes your soul. Most incredible song ever!! Especially for those who have cared for our Amazing Vets!!!!
My favorite is “Enter Sandman...”
Mariano Rivera's game entrance song!!
Hell yeah!!!! This was prime Metallica back in the 80’zzzz….this album(…And Justice for All) is probably their darkest album. Definitely my favorite by these metal giants. Definitely try to react to “Blackened”, “Dyers Eve” “Harvester of Sorrow” or “Eye of the Beholder”. All cool songs & very thought-provoking 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’ve heard many, many songs from hundreds of bands, but if someone forced me at gunpoint to pick one favorite song, it would be One.
Out of the entire catalog that Metallica has, this is my ABSOLUTE favorite. The only song that I can think of that can get you deep in your feelings and make you rock out at the same time. Nobody is ready to hear this for the first time, I've been listening to this song since I was a boy and I'm still never ready to hear it
This song and video introduced me to Metallica when I was in middle or high school I believe. Then I heard the black album and became a fan. Though I had heard of them I never heard them on the radio and I never had the $$ to buy albums then. Now that I’m older I can :-). They are always on road trip playlists.
This was the band's very first video. Hell of an introduction. The lyrics were perfection. The band even in their stance is showing the pain & anger of the situation. I worked at a used book store when this was released & sure did snap up & read a crusty old copy of Johnny Got His Gun. I know people love Enter Sandman as the premium but for me it's One.
I was a soldier for 22 years. Many of my friends have emotional trauma. This music still affects me.
As a combat vet, this one reaches me. One thing they do here is add video of this young boy asking about democracy who later is the victim of it. The father teaching him morse code for him later to use it to beg to die.
Have you ever listened to Alan Parsons Project? They have lots orchestra arrangements but it rocks.
I Robot!!!
Eye in the sky
@@ericguner this is a great song.
This should be good!
You need to check out Metallica’s song “No Leaf Clover” that they performed with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. It’s amazing
Second this!!
The motion is Seconded. All in favor, say "Aye!"
AYE!
Third this!
@@TheLastGarou AYE!
Yes! 100%!
Plz react to a band called Liliac ! it's a family band that are all siblings. Their father is a music producer, so every thing is done by him , they do not have a record label. They do covers from Metallica to Janis also Their originals rock also . YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ! 💜🥁🎤🎸🎹🎵🎵🎶🎶😍
my fave metallica song and chilling video.
*Amber, I'm with you on this one. I saw Metallica in '83 before their first album was released...this was back when Cliff Burton (bass guitar) just joined and Dave Mustaine was still in the band. This one still gets to me. I find myself rockin' to it....but with tears falling down my face. Please don't let it sour you on listening to it over and over though. We all need to remember the price of stopping those who want to take your freedoms from you. And to be grateful for those who had the 'conviction' to fight for it for us all...and paid the ultimate price. This '71 movie, of the '39 book: Johnny Got His Gun, is a tough one to watch. ♥U all*
Yes, this was a tough one, the movie, to watch. Even decades later it still haunts me with vivid memories of all the scenes.
Jason was on the bass guitar 🎸
@@johnsmathers190 Right...he is in this vid. When I said "this was when Cliff was on bass..." I was referring to when I saw them in early '83.
Roh Echp. I apologize, I misunderstood your message.
@@johnsmathers190 No worries...Thank you. I saw how it could be mistaken, so I edited it so it is more connected to the previous sentence. ✌
This song is one of a select few that really evoke an emotional response. I mean yeah, all music will make you feel something, but there are some that will really hit you in the feels. If you're looking for more songs that you will feel as much as you hear, I got a few for you guys:
"Bravado", "Red Sector A", and "Manhattan Project" all by Rush are very good for this. They have an ability to sing about some of the most horrific events in such a respectful way.
"The Bitter End" by Placebo will probably give Amber anxiety by the end of the song while Jay is rocking out to it, lol.
You guys already did "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish - Kudos
Now that you guys are doing the movie channel, I know you can tackle longer songs. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd is a must.(Especially for Amber) All 13 or 25 minutes of it depending which parts you cover.
"3 Libras" by A Perfect Circle is another good one for feels.
"Over Now" by Alice In Chains will have you feeling sad about the passing of Layne Staley. Although it wasn't written specifically about him alone, the lyrics will strike a chord.
"Love Song for a Vampire" by Annie Lennox has this effect too. Although it's the theme song to the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula" which I would also recommend for your movie channel.
"Learning to Live" by Dream Theater which let's be honest, you guys need to do some Dream Theater.
There's more, but that's a good sample for now.
Metallica is one of the very few "heavy metal" bands that I like. I want to give credit to my ex-sister in law Dee for insisting that I go with her to a Metallica concert. This was her band and she told me about this song and played it for me before we went.. it was fantastic live and they had a big screen up and played this video during the song. Sadly, Dee passed away in December.. she was a character.. never met a stranger, and changed my life in profound ways. God speed my friend.

The first four albums are insanely brilliant. Master is amazing. Justice is technically brilliant but the songwriting just isn't as good as it is on Master. Burton died in September of '86 and his arrangement skills are obviously absent on Justice.
It's sad how much of that band died with Burton. James may write most of the riffs, but Burton was the classically trained guy and he brought those classical elements to the forefront of that band. His fingerprints are all over Ride and Master. Burton was the big brain. He had big ideas. The kind of ideas that don't match with Lars' pop/mainstream interests and that James is just too simple minded to understand. The guys that came after Burton were never really accepted as full on members of the band and their contributions were limited. Both were very talented, don't get me wrong, but there's never going to be another Cliff Burton.
For the 5th album motley Crue was The Big band at the time so they just copied motley Crue and made a heavier version of Dr feelgood. For the Loads - and we all know what they were loads of - they became Grunge n Roses. Grunge and Guns n' Roses were the style at the time so they just combined those two things and made sloppy, out of time, out of tune garbage. I given up on them by then. It's amazing how quickly something that was once so profound and groundbreaking can go to complete shit.
Please check out Tom Waits - Way Down in the Hole. The Music Video version. It's one of the coolest music videos ever!
I'm so glad you're checking out more Metallica!!!... Some of my favorite by them are: For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets, Orion, Halo On Fire... The list goes on and on!... 🤘
If you want more Metallica I strongly recommend “Whiskey In The Jar” (for a more lighthearted side of them) and “Enter Sandman” (classic Metallica).
Also, if you do Enter Sandman you should do the live from Moscow video. the Soviet Union was on it’s way out, and the prohibition on American popular music had just been lifted, 1.6 million people were in attendance, it was one of the most epic concerts that ever happened.
My favorite song of Metallica
Me too!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is one of those tunes that punches you in the mind and the heart. Amber's reaction is very much warranted. You two are just sweet souls. Love the vids. ♥️
P.S. the film clips and dialogue are from the tearjerker film "Johnny Got His Gun" based upon the novel of the same name.
You BOTH responded to this song as many have/do, EPIC reaction and probably the best I've seen for this song. For myself I rarely have the same respond to this from TOTALLY rocking out or getting DEEP into thought that moves your heart and soul ..
If you want to see Metallica's versatility then you should check out Nothing Else Matters
From the Moscow '91 show.
Also need to do. Fade to black by Metallica.
I love this song!! I get alittle worried when people hear this for the first time they won't get it, but you guys felt the emotion.
One of best lines for me is ' fed through the tubes that stick in me, just like a wartime novelty' then you see him being paraded around as a sideshow freak. Very powerful and a great representation of the horrors of war!!
Bravo guys for taking this song on and getting the beauty of it. 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
🤘❤🤘 As of 2021, according to the R.I.A.A., Metallica has sold 131 million albums world wide.
And they murdered Napster
@@TheJoshuaPimentel Who is Napster?
@@TheJoshuaPimentel Which is hilarious given their deal with Spotify! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 #Hypocrites

"Johnny Got His Gun" is a watch only once movie. It's a hard story too see and will stay with you forever. The fact that Metallica made a song about it is epic.
Where's the bass?? This was a watershed album in the history of heavy metal that brought heavier, non-"hair metal" music more mainstream, but holy shit they did Jason Newsted dirty with the production of this album. This song and all of the others would have been SO much better if they hadn't completely wiped out the amazing bass tracks in post production.
When you're ready for another really difficult one, check out Pearl Jam's "Jeremy". To get the full impact it requires the video which has a disclaimer that you have to agree to before watching.
Yes you absolutely need to have the video with Jeremy
Awww, Amber... I want to hug you with sympathy. It's the worst song ever for an empath. I was 16 years old when this song came out and it literally devastated me when I heard it. I had such an awful anxiety attack thinking about this poor soul, that I refused to listen to it again until I was in my 30's, at which point I could atleast appreciate the amazing music. I'm 50 now and it still makes me sad.
