Hi Drew Fortune Thanks for your reaction. Look forward to hear your comments on Hua Chenyu. Please kindly react to his new composed songs "Bullfighting" & "Jack Daw Boy" in 2018 Beijing Concert. Please check out from the channel of "Hua Chenyu English Subs".
Yes! Highly recommend "Bullfighting" and "Jackdaw boy"! it's been a long time since your last reaction video from Hua Chenyu. I 'm really looking forward to your another reaction video! Please check out these two songs!💗💗💗
... And Justice For All is one of the best, if not the best metal album there is imo. I don't care what others say. I bought it right when it was released -88 and I still can remember that mind blowing feeling while listening it for a first time.
the radio part gives you chills once you understand what it means, the person in the mask is a soldier who had to leave his family and love to go to war, and he was blown up and lost his arms, legs, he became a vegetable, he couldn't speak, he wanted to die but science kept him alive, living in hell.
Bill Braskey it doesn’t really happen by jumping straight in though. I listened to a lot of queen when I was little, then became obsessed with the darkness and then iron maiden. From there it just took off
Don’t bother doing a reaction video if you don’t have the time or you are too tired to understand the music, and understand the lyrics. Often in Metal songs the lyrics tell a story. The background of this video directly reflects on the lyrics of the song. To disregard it that simply! Wow! You should probably stick with Justin Bieber. “If I’m just being honest“
If you play the regular song it doesn't have the movie clips. I Know it's hard but the songs words are tell the story... The song and movie clips are from the 1971 movie "Johnny got his gun". All the words are the "soldier in the hospitals thoughts". He was severely injured in the war. He lost his sight, hearing, speech, arms and legs. He has no way to tell the doctors to let him die... He is finally able to communicate with Morris Code..Here is something great to React to. I promise you will like it.. Davina Michelle's cover of the Adele song "Someone like you" or another title you like on her RUclips channel. Best voice that I have ever heard... She posts a cover every week. All her covers are as good or better than the original.. Really incredible...
that "mumbling" in the background is fairly important. knowing what the song is about is one of the most important things about this song, not just the instruments. try to watch and understand the lyrics (as well as the "voiceover")… but I can see how it would be distracting in some sense
7:15 I keep making that face of satisfaction every time I listen to the "Darkness, imprisoning me" riff, it's just amazing and it takes me to another world! I love this band 🤘
I watched Metallica live in concert on January 24th 2019!!! My favorite band my whole life.. and finally had the opportunity to see them.. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SHOW!
@Swag Master, yeah I loved the show and probably wont seen anyone else as good as Metallica again! Jim bruer was hilarious too... GIVE ME A YEAHHHH! I think Metallica sounds better live than they do on the radio!
This generation only wants to dance to songs with no meaning whatsoever with a selfie cam in their hands. they seldom gets the melody and meaning of the song...!! they'll never know the rush of head banging and mosh pits...!!!
There is a version of the video that doesn't have the movie in it, just the band playing. I preferred that version myself. You should react to Megadeth(Holy Wars, Symphony of Destruction), and Pantera( Cemetery Gates, Walk, Cowboy's From Hell). The founder of Megadeth was in the original lineup of Metallica.
With metal songs, you guys should do lyric videos to help you understand the songs better. This is a great song about war and a soldier getting his arms, legs, and face blown off by a landmine. Hes in his own hell. He can feel pain but cant communicate what's going on and hes being kept alive by machines. Keep listening to new songs and enjoy your journey into metal.
When I was in high school we all had kill em all,ride the lightning,masterof puppets,+ and justice for all t shirts,scribbled metallica on our notebooks and lockers. Internet and phones ruined life.
Yo, a “Yank” from The States over here. Ya have to understand this song is an homage to a book by Dalton Trumbull, enticed “Johnny Got His Gun.” WWI, American gets blown up a land mine. Loses sight, speech, legs... etc. he can hear what everyone’s saying, but can only communicate using Morse Code with his eyes. The over-the-top instrumentals represent the sounds of actual WAR, adrenaline rush to kill or be killed and confusion. It’s also a metaphor of his conscience and indecisive thoughts. To make a bit more sense, the guitar riffs were meant to sound like machine guns. This may account for the overload you didn’t care for. The film clips were taken from a film of the same story. I suggest giving it another listen armed with this information. P.S. I go to Ireland every year and have somewhat of a love affair with it. Speakin’ of love... love me some Magic Mak. We dig that badass ova here...
My first introduction to Metallica was One back in 90 or 91. My older cousin had a stack of CDs and "And Justice for All" was on top and in the stereo on this track. I was instantly hooked, but it took 2 more years to circle back to them. You really should start at the beginning with Kill em All and work your way forward track by track (possibly an album review). That is truly the only way to understand and appreciate their unique and signature sound. Still killing it after 35 years!
I would recommend you to listen to "One" without all the dramatics to fully appreciate the song first, then when you know the lyrics and how the music feels so to speak you can look into what message the song had.
Its a genre of metal called Thrash Metal... The big four bands in Thrash metal are Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Other bands in the style include Sacred Reich, Exodus, Testament, Overkill, Sepultura etc 😊
The song is based on the movie that is playing during the video. The song are the thoughts of the man who was blown up in the movie. He cant speak, hear, see he is ONE... and wants to die. Metallica won a Grammy for this song. It might help to pull up the lyrics on something so you can read them as they go along. If you want to see something amazing watch Metallica perform Creeping Death live in Moscow 1991.
This music video is a masterpiece. The movie and talking makes this video perfect. You can always listen to the song without the speaking in the background. Give the video another listen, it can take a bit to take it all in, but it’s seriously constructed really well.
This song is absolutely incredible live... Seen them twice and both times, One was my personal highlight of the show. Lasers, flares, fireworks, flame throwers, the bring it all out for One
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken and then Poet and the Pendulum live at Wembley and finally The Greatest Show on Earth live at Tempere. This is necessary Nightwish trilogy. It will blow you away.
The song and music video bus based on "Johnny got his gun" about a young man who goes to WW1 and in an injury loses his sight, taste, hearing, smell, and both arms and legs. He spends a couple of years learning to communicate via morse code with his neck and head where all he says is "sos help kill me" over and over until a friend of his from the war tells him that the military won't kill him because it's "not the military way" and he resolves himself to live not knowing if he is awake or asleep and dreaming until he dies a natural death
It was based off of a true story of a soldier living after a landmine took everything away from him. That story was the basis of the movie Johnny Get Your Gun. Which is what the song is about. Hope that helps
Great stuff man, great to see you tackling more Metal. A very misunderstood genre. Can you please do a review of Slayer- Angel of Death(Studio version) keep up the great work!
Agreed. I completely get why they put the movie clips in the video, but having them play over the music has always been a mistake in my opinion. Give the song a listen, if you haven't already, by itself without all of the movie clips.
I'm glad you guys are trying this out. It was a new time for them. This video (if you heard it in correctly balanced audio) is almost hear-breaking. The movie cut-ins were used to graphically illustrate the lyrics. And yes, 16x9 format is newer than the video.
if they hated this, they won't even begin to understand pink floyd "i'm not trying to understand what the point of this song is" smh -.-. Pink floyd is too much for their small brains they won't be able even understand a single layer of the song plus it will have "background noise".
There's another music video for this song that doesn't have clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" playing in the background. They only used clips from it because the vocalist had an idea about a guy in the army who loses his arms, legs, sight, speech and hearing and is just a shell and someone pointed out that a book with that plot already existed.
The "radio" you are referring are actually scenes taken from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, which is based on the book, "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. The song is also based on this book. In the book, Johnny, having learned to communicate with his nurse through a system of Morse code, manages to communicate his desire to be taken to Washington D.C. and there presented to the people in order to show them the true horror of war. But the generals and the politicians refuse Johnny's request, because they want the war to continue. The book ends with the generals leaving Johnny in a dark room alone with his nurse to die, his request forever denied.
This song/album came out at the height of late 1980s MTV music videos, where it was all about the music videos. The videos, videos, videos. It was an amazing video, but you can’t fully appreciate the song itself until you listen to the song/with the lyrics only. This song, next to Wherever I May Roam, is my favorite Metallica song. Don’t Tread On Me, and Of Wolf And Man are favorites of mine as well.
The video part is from a movie 'Johnny get your gun' the song is about a man who went to war & was blown up by a land mine..losing his arms legs sight speech
This song is literally an allegory for the movie in which it has clips from (Johnny got his gun) and how the effect of war can take their toll on an individual and leave them as a literal living bag of meat that cant talk, hear, see, and has no limbs. And how the character in the movie is just living inside himself with no external contact whatsoever, and slowly begins to realize what his life is and that if this is all it will be, then it is no better than being dead.
Hey Drew, those video clips are of 1971's movie named Johnny Got His Gun. It is about young American soldier in WWI badly wounded like he is a quadruple amputee without his eyes, nose & mouth. As he unable to talk to his doctors, soldier is able to talk to doctors tapping Morse Code with his head.
I was actually bummed when I heard the album version and it didn’t have the narration from the video. The background conversations in the video give this song an immeasurable depth.
Great reaction. Even if you don't appreciate certain parts of the music, most people will recognize your comments are nothing more than initial reaction. So don't feel the need to apologize for anything you say. Say what you feel :) DO NOT WATCH MUSIC VIDEOS. Stick with lyrics videos. You focus on the music, and you get the message. That's all you need. No more music videos. Baroness - Chlorine and Wine (very melodic, build up, climax, emotional)
It's one of those songs which makes more sense the more often you listen to it...although, if you read/watch 'Johnny Got His Gun', you get the context for which it was written
bon Cardenas yeah because a lot of people are so ignorant and say “oh I couldn’t understand what they were saying” there’s lyric websites there for a reason..
Gutslinger I mean he was annoyed on the background voice then why didn't he just listen to an instrumentals version if he didn't want to hear any human voice
I think todays young generetion doesn`t even feels this musik in the same way, I felt it in this age. Cause it`s relevant to the times and experience of the lifetime. These are child of PS and XBox. They may listen to this kind of musik but hearing and feeling it, those a difference.
This song is based on the movie Johnnie Got His Gun. Approx. 1971. I watched the movie on RUclips. I would recommend watching it. its about a man that was blown up in war, and lost his arms/legs/ sight/hearing/ ability to talk/eat/. just watch the movie. its quite haunting.
Well, this IS in fact, YOUR reaction video, YOUR opinion. No doubt about that. But I'm sure there are many commentes on here that were screaming at their phones at your disapproval of the video and song itself. There are many Metallica songs that have their cult following, but I believe that the entire Metallica fan base can collectively agree that 'One' is a work of art. It cannot be denied.
Your right about the music video, the radio voice was taken from scenes of an old movie, the song on Spotify doesn’t have it. I CBA right now and yeah look up the genius
Metallica was a well read band. Literature takes a big part of their songs and shows up in tons of their early music. I like the honesty in the reaction, you are right, it’s ok to have different opinion than the masses :) cheers and keep up the good content. This song is referencing a book called Johnny got his gun, and the clips in the video are from the movie.
Ahard to see yall watching this. Been Listening to Metallica for 25 yrs Seen them 15 times in concert Watch fade to black It speaks to me as i had a rough childhood
In my personal opinion, even if the song was based on the book and movie (the clips in this video), they never should've added movie clips to the video, because it distracts from the song rather than adding to it. The poor movie audio is difficult to hear and it ruins the song in the process. At any rate, read up on the song to get the gist, it only takes 30 seconds. Then you'll understand.
If you listened to the movie clips you would have understood the song lol. It’s based off an old movie where a soldier was blown up and became physically disabled throughout his entire body but his mind was intact. He taps in Morse code “sos please kill me” because its all he can really do besides simply exist
This is a perfect illustration how modern music is so dumbed down that the current generations don’t know how to interpret sounds. Let’s face it, current popular music has such minimal mental stimulation that when people listen to something with some substance it’s too much for them to process. Personally I find this song extremely simple to follow along to, it’s almost alien for me to imagine someone being overwhelmed by it...these are pretty simple musical ideas. When I was young and didn’t listen to very complicated music I can relate to some instrumental music being hard to grasp (try listening to Alan Holdsworth if you really want to challenge your mind, to most its random sounds but in reality it’s highly composed) but as time went on and I became more attuned to picking out the different patterns I was hearing anything less seemed boring. Keep listening to music that challenges you...you won’t regret it in the long run.
As far as the rhythm, the verses are clean guitars the the chorus is two distorted guitars. The distorted guitars aren't CUTTING anything off. It's common music structure guys com'on.
The song is not about the movie. They wrote the song and then were turned onto the movie by a producer when they were looking to do their first video. The movie had scenes and themes similar (as far as the injured soldier is concerned) where as the movie was a protest against the Vietnam War. There were three videos made for this song. This is the video you should watch, just them in the warehouse, jamming. ruclips.net/video/8NhKK8Y-wIo/видео.html
I love the quotes going over the top of the music, I think its better than the studio mix Its probably because Ive heard the studio mix so much and I know exactly what the music sounds like and I know what the meaning of the song is about so I can focus on what the quotes are saying and the message is so powerful its unreal, the song is a masterpiece and I just can't express how much better the quotes make it
It's OK if you don't like something and especially being new to Metal music I can see how you may not appreciate or understand some aspects. I'm new to watching you guys but enjoy your metal reactions. It's always interesting to see newbies reaction to a music form they are not used to. I'm going to suggest a few for you and maybe you will end up reacting to one or two: Parkway Drive: Wishing Wells (must watch the video while reviewing) Slipknot: Psychosocial Leo Moracchioli: Hello (Adele Metal Cover) I think you guys will really enjoy this one! Pantera: Cowboys From Hell Please do the Adele Metal Cover it would be great because you already know the original song as we all do and to hear a Metal spin to a song you know would be fun for all of us to see. Good Luck! BTW: Amy reactions are great; especially when she looks at the camera and makes her "metal face" lol, love it.

Enjoy!🤠🤘🏼
It is better to avoid the video music in Metal. You go either with the studio or live version.
ZAPHYROS i second this, specially because metal tends to have longer songs and the official music videos are usually edited and cut short.
Its based on a movie called Johnny Got His Gun and shows scenes from the movie.
Hi Drew Fortune
Thanks for your reaction.
Look forward to hear your comments on Hua Chenyu. Please kindly react to his new composed songs "Bullfighting" & "Jack Daw Boy" in 2018 Beijing Concert. Please check out from the channel of "Hua Chenyu English Subs".
Yes! Highly recommend "Bullfighting" and "Jackdaw boy"! it's been a long time since your last reaction video from Hua Chenyu. I 'm really looking forward to your another reaction video! Please check out these two songs!💗💗💗
I'm genuinely so jealous of anyone who gets to hear this song for the first time. It's a classic!
The beauty of RUclips that you can watch endless first reactions to it!🔥
first time i was heard this song is with cassette 1990... i'm jealous too
... And Justice For All is one of the best, if not the best metal album there is imo. I don't care what others say. I bought it right when it was released -88 and I still can remember that mind blowing feeling while listening it for a first time.
Wow I was 18 when this came out.. ☠
I totally agree with that
the radio part gives you chills once you understand what it means, the person in the mask is a soldier who had to leave his family and love to go to war, and he was blown up and lost his arms, legs, he became a vegetable, he couldn't speak, he wanted to die but science kept him alive, living in hell.
He couldn’t see either by the way
This song is one the greatest songs Metallica ever wrote.
St anger. No but actually I like master a little more
Have to agree i personally like one better than master of puppets. But i listen to them both like everyday lol
*anyone
Disposable heroes is truly a metallica masterpiece
More like one of the greatest songs ever wrote
You definitely need to develop an ear for metal. It can take a little time for newbies. This is one of my favorite songs ever. Keep it up.
Bill Braskey 100%! Thank you man🤘🏼
Bill Braskey it doesn’t really happen by jumping straight in though. I listened to a lot of queen when I was little, then became obsessed with the darkness and then iron maiden. From there it just took off
lmao i remember when my dad used to show me tool and slayer i was so weirded out now it’s all i listen to lol
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!
They had no idea. Horrible

From the prospective of a casual music listener that’s not something for the most part that they do
the lyrics tell the story of the song, your brain creates the imagery for the song. The music video is mostly distracting.
7:15 I keep making that face of satisfaction every time I listen to the "Darkness, imprisoning me" riff, it's just amazing and it takes me to another world! I love this band 🤘
Bro, the fast part's the best part. xD you're weird

@@joshberridge3762 heard all of them sold out in 12 minutes lol
Also if you like Motley Crue go watch The Dirt on Netflix!! I just watched it.
The fact that a metal song had melody, storytelling on this level, was pretty groundbreaking
This generation only wants to dance to songs with no meaning whatsoever with a selfie cam in their hands. they seldom gets the melody and meaning of the song...!! they'll never know the rush of head banging and mosh pits...!!!
You guys completely missed the point of the whole song but your reactions were honest and enjoyable. Keep up the good stuff.
might take a few times of listening to it they may get the point of it
@@larrysomers1654It even has a video to explain it!

There is a version of the video that doesn't have the movie in it, just the band playing. I preferred that version myself. You should react to Megadeth(Holy Wars, Symphony of Destruction), and Pantera( Cemetery Gates, Walk, Cowboy's From Hell). The founder of Megadeth was in the original lineup of Metallica.
You should listen to the studio versions of songs first 👍🏼
That was the studio version dickhead.

@@leeroyc4148 cmon dude we're in the metal community. why to insult sb? He isn't even wrong

With metal songs, you guys should do lyric videos to help you understand the songs better. This is a great song about war and a soldier getting his arms, legs, and face blown off by a landmine. Hes in his own hell. He can feel pain but cant communicate what's going on and hes being kept alive by machines. Keep listening to new songs and enjoy your journey into metal.
I got this album on vinyl the day it came out. It was on two records. 9 songs over 60 minutes. Metallica has been my favorite band from that day.
It's simply a badass album. I feel it sounds better without bass. It gives it a more raw and angrier sound, which was a big part of the album's theme.
One - it's a masterpiece 🤘
hell yeah they don't understand
It's called a guitar solo. It's the best part of metal music.
Troy Vernon wrong, drum solos
Anything that isn't rap/pop* people are addicted to basic depthless music now
Solo’s are best part of rock music, riff’s and drum’s are best part of metal
Probably Not Dad I don’t understand why you include rap with pop. Rap is really hard to pull off. It isn’t deep, but isn’t easy as well.
Pick any song from the Master of Puppets album
They both didn't like Master of Puppets
But to be honest they turned an ignorant eye and just wanted to hate it
Picks Orion and doesn't like it cause there's no lyrics
They would probably like the black album then
Metallica One is one of there best songs and videos . Great reaction to it . the video is from a short War story.
The girls loves it you can tell. I think she loved the whole song.
We’ll never know for sure since Drew never let her talk. 🤷♂️
When I was in high school we all had kill em all,ride the lightning,masterof puppets,+ and justice for all t shirts,scribbled metallica on our notebooks and lockers. Internet and phones ruined life.

There are two types of people I this world, those who hear one and love it and those that hear one and hate it
And then love it a few listens later
I would recommend you to listen to "One" without all the dramatics to fully appreciate the song first, then when you know the lyrics and how the music feels so to speak you can look into what message the song had.

Metallica
...And Justice For All, ©1988
Hetfield / Ulrich
Metallica’s 1988 song was partially inspired by the movie Johnny Got His Gun, originally a novel written by Dalton Trumbo in 1938. The anti-war novel tells the story of an American soldier in World War I who has been grossly disfigured by a landmine. All his appendages have been removed and his face was blown away leaving him trapped in a lifeless body, unable to communicate with the outside world.
The novel was re-released during the Vietnam War and subsequently adapted into a movie which Trumbo directed in 1971. Metallica secured the rights to the movie and incorporated numerous scenes in their music video for the song One. In 1989 Metallica released a video, 2 of One which includes two versions of the music video and an interview with band member Lars Ulrich who states, "We just know we made something that's very, very unique and different." He also explains that the idea for this song actually originated with band member James Hetfield who was thinking about what it would be like to have a healthy mind trapped within a useless body, a "living consciousness" or "basket case", unable to communicate with others.
Agreed. I completely get why they put the movie clips in the video, but having them play over the music has always been a mistake in my opinion. Give the song a listen, if you haven't already, by itself without all of the movie clips.
The best way to listen to metal music is with your eyes closed and try to picture it but listen closely to the lyrics as they tell a story
I'm glad you guys are trying this out. It was a new time for them. This video (if you heard it in correctly balanced audio) is almost hear-breaking. The movie cut-ins were used to graphically illustrate the lyrics.
And yes, 16x9 format is newer than the video.
The movie scenes are from Johnny Got His Gun. The book was published in 1939. The movie was in 1971.
You should do some pink floyd
Time
Money
Comfortably numb
if they hated this, they won't even begin to understand pink floyd "i'm not trying to understand what the point of this song is" smh -.-. Pink floyd is too much for their small brains they won't be able even understand a single layer of the song plus it will have "background noise".
There's another music video for this song that doesn't have clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" playing in the background. They only used clips from it because the vocalist had an idea about a guy in the army who loses his arms, legs, sight, speech and hearing and is just a shell and someone pointed out that a book with that plot already existed.
The "radio" you are referring are actually scenes taken from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, which is based on the book, "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo. The song is also based on this book. In the book, Johnny, having learned to communicate with his nurse through a system of Morse code, manages to communicate his desire to be taken to Washington D.C. and there presented to the people in order to show them the true horror of war. But the generals and the politicians refuse Johnny's request, because they want the war to continue. The book ends with the generals leaving Johnny in a dark room alone with his nurse to die, his request forever denied.
This song/album came out at the height of late 1980s MTV music videos, where it was all about the music videos. The videos, videos, videos. It was an amazing video, but you can’t fully appreciate the song itself until you listen to the song/with the lyrics only. This song, next to Wherever I May Roam, is my favorite Metallica song. Don’t Tread On Me, and Of Wolf And Man are favorites of mine as well.
? Korn. The song Blind. “ Are you READY YYYYY?!?!?!”.
or Freak on a Leash
They are the kings of transitions!
Butthole Surfers- Who was in my room last night
Alice in Chains - Rooster
Kyuss - Hurricane
Corrosion of Conformoty - Vote with a bullet
The video part is from a movie 'Johnny get your gun' the song is about a man who went to war & was blown up by a land mine..losing his arms legs sight speech
This song is literally an allegory for the movie in which it has clips from (Johnny got his gun) and how the effect of war can take their toll on an individual and leave them as a literal living bag of meat that cant talk, hear, see, and has no limbs. And how the character in the movie is just living inside himself with no external contact whatsoever, and slowly begins to realize what his life is and that if this is all it will be, then it is no better than being dead.
Hey Drew, those video clips are of 1971's movie named Johnny Got His Gun. It is about young American soldier in WWI badly wounded like he is a quadruple amputee without his eyes, nose & mouth. As he unable to talk to his doctors, soldier is able to talk to doctors tapping Morse Code with his head.
I was actually bummed when I heard the album version and it didn’t have the narration from the video. The background conversations in the video give this song an immeasurable depth.
Exactly.
The Book "Johnny got his gun". About a ww1 solider who lost everything but his consciousness.
Heavy Metal is not for everyone but I’m glad you guys gave this masterpiece a chance. Cheers! \m/
Listen to the studio version WITH LYRICS. The lyrics are fairly easy to understand. then watch the video again. It’s a terrifying masterpiece...
Great reaction. Even if you don't appreciate certain parts of the music, most people will recognize your comments are nothing more than initial reaction. So don't feel the need to apologize for anything you say. Say what you feel :)
DO NOT WATCH MUSIC VIDEOS. Stick with lyrics videos. You focus on the music, and you get the message. That's all you need. No more music videos.
Baroness - Chlorine and Wine (very melodic, build up, climax, emotional)
Hey man thank you! Will look into it!🔥
It's one of those songs which makes more sense the more often you listen to it...although, if you read/watch 'Johnny Got His Gun', you get the context for which it was written
It looks like they're only listening the instrumentals and not understanding the message of that masterpiece
bon Cardenas yeah because a lot of people are so ignorant and say “oh I couldn’t understand what they were saying” there’s lyric websites there for a reason..
I mainly listen to rock for the instrumentals. I can't enjoy the sound or instrumentation if I'm trying to focus on the lyrics.
Gutslinger I mean he was annoyed on the background voice then why didn't he just listen to an instrumentals version if he didn't want to hear any human voice
This is a song you have to listen twice separately from the video.
Yeah the track without the annoying video is much more tolerable! This song is INCREDIBLE!
I recommend you to listen to Nightwish Ghost Love score live at wacken if you like something more "operatic" in a way. Greetings from Argentina
Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Duo
My favorite song ever written.
I think todays young generetion doesn`t even feels this musik in the same way, I felt it in this age. Cause it`s relevant to the times and experience of the lifetime. These are child of PS and XBox. They may listen to this kind of musik but hearing and feeling it, those a difference.
This song is based on the movie Johnnie Got His Gun. Approx. 1971. I watched the movie on RUclips. I would recommend watching it. its about a man that was blown up in war, and lost his arms/legs/ sight/hearing/ ability to talk/eat/. just watch the movie. its quite haunting.
Well, this IS in fact, YOUR reaction video, YOUR opinion. No doubt about that. But I'm sure there are many commentes on here that were screaming at their phones at your disapproval of the video and song itself. There are many Metallica songs that have their cult following, but I believe that the entire Metallica fan base can collectively agree that 'One' is a work of art. It cannot be denied.
The "Noise" in the background is from a movie called "Johnny Got A Gun"
Your right about the music video, the radio voice was taken from scenes of an old movie, the song on Spotify doesn’t have it. I CBA right now and yeah look up the genius
This song is really an instrumental with lyrics. Great, great song.
You guys need to react to Slipknot -The Devil in I
I personally preferred "Killpop" from that album, but I do really like the song you recommend.
AOV
I wish I could hear One for the first time again. Masterpiece.
Metallica was a well read band. Literature takes a big part of their songs and shows up in tons of their early music.
I like the honesty in the reaction, you are right, it’s ok to have different opinion than the masses :) cheers and keep up the good content.
This song is referencing a book called Johnny got his gun, and the clips in the video are from the movie.
this song was the embodiment of the sudden , helpless, loss of Cliff Burton , reflected by James,Lars and Kirk
This is form Johnny got his gun. It's a book which most people your age have never heard of. The video goes right along with the story.
If you want the true experience, you gotta see them live. I went in January and it was absolutely amazing
Ahard to see yall watching this. Been Listening to Metallica for 25 yrs Seen them 15 times in concert Watch fade to black It speaks to me as i had a rough childhood
In my personal opinion, even if the song was based on the book and movie (the clips in this video), they never should've added movie clips to the video, because it distracts from the song rather than adding to it. The poor movie audio is difficult to hear and it ruins the song in the process. At any rate, read up on the song to get the gist, it only takes 30 seconds. Then you'll understand.
If you listened to the movie clips you would have understood the song lol. It’s based off an old movie where a soldier was blown up and became physically disabled throughout his entire body but his mind was intact. He taps in Morse code “sos please kill me” because its all he can really do besides simply exist
"I'm not trying to grasp the point of the video." *retch*
This is a perfect illustration how modern music is so dumbed down that the current generations don’t know how to interpret sounds. Let’s face it, current popular music has such minimal mental stimulation that when people listen to something with some substance it’s too much for them to process. Personally I find this song extremely simple to follow along to, it’s almost alien for me to imagine someone being overwhelmed by it...these are pretty simple musical ideas. When I was young and didn’t listen to very complicated music I can relate to some instrumental music being hard to grasp (try listening to Alan Holdsworth if you really want to challenge your mind, to most its random sounds but in reality it’s highly composed) but as time went on and I became more attuned to picking out the different patterns I was hearing anything less seemed boring. Keep listening to music that challenges you...you won’t regret it in the long run.
As far as the rhythm, the verses are clean guitars the the chorus is two distorted guitars. The distorted guitars aren't CUTTING anything off. It's common music structure guys com'on.
The song is not about the movie. They wrote the song and then were turned onto the movie by a producer when they were looking to do their first video. The movie had scenes and themes similar (as far as the injured soldier is concerned) where as the movie was a protest against the Vietnam War. There were three videos made for this song. This is the video you should watch, just them in the warehouse, jamming. ruclips.net/video/8NhKK8Y-wIo/видео.html
I love the quotes going over the top of the music, I think its better than the studio mix
Its probably because Ive heard the studio mix so much and I know exactly what the music sounds like and I know what the meaning of the song is about so I can focus on what the quotes are saying and the message is so powerful its unreal, the song is a masterpiece and I just can't express how much better the quotes make it
Brilliant riff an drums in this song double bass awesome one of my favourite songs
It's OK if you don't like something and especially being new to Metal music I can see how you may not appreciate or understand some aspects.
I'm new to watching you guys but enjoy your metal reactions. It's always interesting to see newbies reaction to a music form they are not used to.
I'm going to suggest a few for you and maybe you will end up reacting to one or two:
Parkway Drive: Wishing Wells (must watch the video while reviewing)
Slipknot: Psychosocial
Leo Moracchioli: Hello (Adele Metal Cover) I think you guys will really enjoy this one!
Pantera: Cowboys From Hell
Please do the Adele Metal Cover it would be great because you already know the original song as we all do and to hear a Metal spin to a song you know would
be fun for all of us to see.
Good Luck!
BTW: Amy reactions are great; especially when she looks at the camera and makes her "metal face" lol, love it.
