Interesting Metallifact - Only band to play on all 7 continents - yes, they went to Antarctica! When Mars has a venue, Metallica will play it and people will somehow get there. Always lit af. Edit - Veteran of over 300 Metallica concerts here and NEVER left anything other than amazed!
Dude 300 Metallica concerts? That seems ridiculously unbelievable, do you follow them like the grateful Dead or something? I personally have seen Metallica seven or eight times over the course of 30 years
Man love watching your reaction! I’ve been listening to them since they started around 1984 I believe. Finally saw them in concert last year, never seen that many 50 year old’s head banging in my life. They always put on high energy shows. Rockin 50 year olds!
I've been a life long Metallica fan (35 years) and back in December 2018, my at the time 11 year old daughter and I were officially baptized into the Metallica family, attending our first Metallica concert, and let me tell you, there isn't much to compare to a Metallica show (well I did attend a System of a down show back in 2005 that might compare to it 😂🤘) but anyways, the only word that comes to mind that even closely resembles the feeling of the "Power" music and the energy of 20,000 people, absolutely amazing and would highly recommend it should you ever have the opportunity... 😲🤩🤘🔥🎸✌
It is about a soldier that fell on a land mine, and basically lost his arms, legs...and lost his sight speech, hearing, and has to beg for death through Morris Code
Look at all those RUclips tabs opened 👀 that’s dedication, you got my subscription just for that bro. Huge Metallica fan, they kind of saved my life in a way, moved around a lot as a kid, if I remember right I moved like 16 times among 13-14 different places because of divorced parents and just stupid shit. Never had a lot of time to make friends and in high school a kid I went to school with told me ab Metallica. The day I heard Fade to Black, I had to pick up a guitar. That shit gave me such an escape like I’ve never experienced and was like the best friend I needed. Gotta check that song out, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, Seek and Destroy, Spit Out the Bone, Halo on Fire, just for starter. Enjoy this journey of Metallica 🤘
That’s a good eye Swaggy that’s a Roman style Coliseum but it was built in France..crazy atmosphere there great reaction brother keep up the good work👍🏼🤘🏼**Damn bro good eye AND ear! You got the subject of the song after only a few lines! Salute’ my friend that’s not easy on a first listen very impressive🙌🏼👏🏼
Just found your reactions video, good stuff. Have seen Metallica live 14 times, and the energy at their show is amazing. I have been to hundreds of concerts and to this day they are my favorite live band.
Can i just say welcome to the biggest family in the world , the Metal/rock family. This reaction to one has to be the best I've seen for this song . Your understanding of the song is on point . 🤘🤘🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
The smaller the venue, the more the tickets cost!! We paid $170 per ticket in Charlotte NC for the upper level. Worth Every Penny!!! They are THAT Awesome!!
I saw Metallica probably 8 or 10 times back in the 80' and 90's. They were and still are the best live show I have ever saw. Thank you for reacting to them. Metal music loves all people, all colors, and all religions. Welcome to the metal head family bro.
Nice!! Most people react to the official music video which is a huge mistake because the video distracts from the music. You did it right!! React to Metallica: ...And Justice for All (Live) [Live Shit: Binge & Purge] You're just getting start in your experience with greatness :)
I saw them in dec 2018. The cheapest ticket is like $100 and worth every penny. They and their crew put so much work into their shows. Sound tech, audio/visual, pyrotechnics, weird cubes hanging from the ceiling showing different visuals... it’s great! I would advise wearing earplugs just because it’s so loud that after a few songs, if you aren’t familiar with the song already, it can sound really muddy and make it hard to tell what’s going on
Seen them 5 times in a 35 year span and the energy is always lit 🔥! The thing that has changed is the crowd use to get super crazy with jumping and moshing and such. Now the crowd participates more by singing loudly and fist pumping throwing the horns and such. We’re getting older, 😂
James wrote this song about the book “Johnny got his gun” by Dalton Trumbo. Chilling shit. He’s explained it in detail a bunch in some documentaries. Most recently in the interview for 30 yr anniversary of And Justice for All. Great vid man! Loved it 💪🏻🏁
I was lucky enough to follow them for a summer touring. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Tennessee is when I got to front stage and left w guitar picks!!!
so many reviewers watching the original video don' t understand - they don't get it. But my man Swaggy gets it. Get's the story being told. With the LIVE version! Right on, Swaggy!
Bro.. The energy at a Metallica show is AMAZING!! Like being baptized by the Lord himself. You HAVE to hit a show homie!! Also great job interpreting James' lyrics!! You're awesome man keep it up!!
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, this song breaks my heart. He’s ok physically but my grandma said the PTSD back then was ooof! He’ll talk about anything under the sun…except the war. Also James Hetfield being anywhere near open flame after 1992 is pretty epic, bless his heart. Auntie Mimi could never😂🔥🤦🏾♀️
Metallica 'One' live S&M 1 1999 is still my number 1 favourite live version for this song, perfect performance n music arrangement combined with the best orchestra team. Lars's drumming really the best. Check it out man, enjoy!!!
Yes, this song is a commentary on the evils/damages of war on the soldiers. In the old MTV video it shows how soldiers were so physically destroyed that they had no hope of living a decent life. Men hit by bombs, missing arms, legs, unable to see or hear. Try to imagine lying in a bed, but you can't see, you can't talk, you can't hear, you have no use of your arms or legs, you are confined to an existence of living in your own mind, and nothing else, imagine the horror realizing that you will be like that for 60+/- years.
Mate, go and watch this song at Seattle 1989 concert, along with battery and whiplash from the same concert, their best ever concert and one of the greatest performances of all time.
I seen them in Seattle 2017? But anyway, the energy was insane! I was front stage and they brought everything front and center and it was crazy!!! Sooo good live!
I'm sure someone has already pointed it out, but..... The song is about a soldier who lost both arms, both legs, his voice, his hearing, and his eyes. All he is is a torso and a fully functioning brain and he is begging for death but kept alive by life support.
If you liked this version, check it the live performance of One at Slane Castle. One of the best ever. Watch the original video that shows what the song is about. Also check out Metallica's The Outlaw Torn. Been an instant fan since 1985. I have my favorite and least favorites but a die hard fan. Will be for eternity.
their official video has cuts from a movie called "johnny got his gun", the cuts show what happened to the boy who got injured in WW1. metallica owns the movie so its doubtful that you will ever find anyplace where you can watch the movie. in the movie, the boys arms, legs and face get blown off by a landmine, and he cant communicate in any way except by blinking his eyes. this is the story of how he tells doctors that he wants to die, but they wont just kill him. now he just exists in a living hell.
I Lobe how you JAM and Bang Your Head At THE SAME TIME I AM Every Time you do a Metallica video. Just wait until the double bass drum kicks into “taken my arms, taken my legs, etc!!!!” @SwaggyReacts This was a low-key political statement against war during the time this album came out, about how our warriors were sent home with nothing but pain and anguish after they came home. I see you diggin’ those double guitar solo’s where James Hetfield plays the exact same solo as Kirk Hammet but an Octavehigher or lower! I see you!!!! My man!!! That’s what’s up. These are CLASSICS man!
Johnny Got His Gun was the movie this song is based on. Soldier returns from war with no arms, no legs, can't hear, can't see but can move his head & using Morse Code he signals S.O.S.....help.
Just started watching your videos and really enjoy them. Quick question: in the intro you're holding a pillow that says: "My burden". You don't have to explain if ya don't want to, but it has me curious.
Well...you just listened to the greatest band out there and one of the 4-5 most influental bands ever...I have a modest 17 live shows under my belt.....everyone of them were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘......best live band you can find
Number one rule in Heavy Metal: DON'T PAUSE DURING A GUITAR SOLO.. NEVER EVER!!
Especially a Kirk Hammett solo
Kirk: Fancy ass fretwork gets started
Him: *pause*
Me: WHAT?!? YOU KILLING ME SMALLS!
Yeah I about cried.
I was like he's getting to the best part then pause 🤯
@@CraftyKiwiLures he did it watching Enter Sandman aswell 😞
So happy to see brothers rocking out to Metal. Especially Metallica's 'One' Makes me proud.
zodiackiller12 i appreciate you rocking out with me hit that sub button for me

300 shows, shit you ought to be on the pay roll 😲🤩🤘
Dude 300 Metallica concerts? That seems ridiculously unbelievable, do you follow them like the grateful Dead or something? I personally have seen Metallica seven or eight times over the course of 30 years
Metallica played in china as well
They are playing in a 2000 year old roman amphitheatre
And it's in France btw haha
@@kingofheavymetal Now it is.
Every time the pyro went off, I thought "Well, it looks like Hetfield learned not to walk into one of those jets"....
This song is 32 years old and still kicks ass !!!!
Master Of Puppets (Live - Seattle 1989). One of their best live performances besides Moscow 1991.
I’ve seen em 11 times. Every time is life changing.

This is my ultimate dream...To have my daughter baptized into a LIVE Metallica show. Such a lucky girl to have a great daddy/daughter moment.

NOTHING like a Metallica concert, an energy filled experience you will NEVER forget.

"Landmine! Taken my sight, taken my voice, taken my hearing, taken my arms taken my legs taken my soul and left me with life in helllll!!!
Speech not voice... oops
You have the best reactions my man!!!!
Long live Metallica!!!, waiting here in Chile to go see them December 7th at National Stadium 🇨🇱
Can i just say welcome to the biggest family in the world , the Metal/rock family. This reaction to one has to be the best I've seen for this song . Your understanding of the song is on point . 🤘🤘🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
BEEN TO 16 METALLICA CONCERTS, IT IS SPRINKLED WITH EPICNESS! YOU GO HOME JUST BEAT DOWN TO A MELTED BALL OF FREAK OUT!
The smaller the venue, the more the tickets cost!! We paid $170 per ticket in Charlotte NC for the upper level. Worth Every Penny!!! They are THAT Awesome!!

Me! This exact show in 2010 in Sydney Australia. The crowd was electrifying
Nice!! Most people react to the official music video which is a huge mistake because the video distracts from the music. You did it right!!
React to Metallica: ...And Justice for All (Live) [Live Shit: Binge & Purge]
You're just getting start in your experience with greatness :)
the video absolutely makes the song. Live is great, and i prefer watching it be performed. But watching the music video is nowhere near a mistake
Metallica is one of the most legit concert experiences I’ve ever been to. Even saw one of my favorite wrestlers Triple H at a show.
I saw them in dec 2018. The cheapest ticket is like $100 and worth every penny. They and their crew put so much work into their shows. Sound tech, audio/visual, pyrotechnics, weird cubes hanging from the ceiling showing different visuals... it’s great!

Welcome to the Metallica family!! Metallica Disposable Heros live in Mexico City 2009. You will appreciate that crowd for sure
Seeing Metallica live cant be described until you do it, all i can say is its basically one of the best experiences i ever had!
Seen them 5 times in a 35 year span and the energy is always lit 🔥! The thing that has changed is the crowd use to get super crazy with jumping and moshing and such. Now the crowd participates more by singing loudly and fist pumping throwing the horns and such. We’re getting older, 😂
I have never seen someone pause so many times in one video
I've seen them 10 times, go do it! 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
Seen them twice. Once in Memphis 1997 and then on July 4th 2000 Baltimore in Ravens Stadium. Face melting!!!
They're savage! Look at the fun they have also. Epic band! Legendary! I can tell you got the bug, brother!
"Mantallica" is one of my favorite bands
Seen them 3 times back in the day. Only thing we where missing was you there bud. So awsome to see you enjoying this.
One of the best metal songs ever made.
Keep doing this great reactions.
Cheers from Portugal.

Tennessee is when I got to front stage and left w guitar picks!!!
Enjoy your metal journey! You're about to become ONE OF US, ONE OF US! 😘
Awesome reaction, I would recommend Battery and Blackened.
I LUV your reactions. METALLICA, YEAH!
so many reviewers watching the original video don' t understand - they don't get it. But my man Swaggy gets it. Get's the story being told. With the LIVE version! Right on, Swaggy!
I’ve seen them 11 times. The kings of live shows.
Bro.. The energy at a Metallica show is AMAZING!! Like being baptized by the Lord himself. You HAVE to hit a show homie!! Also great job interpreting James' lyrics!! You're awesome man keep it up!!
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, this song breaks my heart. He’s ok physically but my grandma said the PTSD back then was ooof! He’ll talk about anything under the sun…except the war.
Also James Hetfield being anywhere near open flame after 1992 is pretty epic, bless his heart. Auntie Mimi could never😂🔥🤦🏾♀️
I worked a metalica concert in Florida back in 96 had drinks with the guys after the show, it was intense
Love these Metallica reactions! 💜
I was at one of the Death Magnetic shows! Those flames during the double bass drumming were extremely hot!
That’s an incredible live version of this song
Energy is FUCKIN insane !! Been in Snake pit moshing 🍺💪🔥30yrs old this song an lit Asf timeless..
Great reaction, man. I highly recommend reacting to Moth into Flame by Metallica too.
Andy K i got you make sure you hit that sub button
Wow, didn't see this one yet, thank you! I would recommend Metallica and Syphony, even if you won't post it. It is so amazing
Metallica 'One' live S&M 1 1999 is still my number 1 favourite live version for this song, perfect performance n music arrangement combined with the best orchestra team. Lars's drumming really the best. Check it out man, enjoy!!!

Good job picking up on the theme...I can't believe how many of these reactions miss it
Agreed
Great reaction as always, good to see you grow, you deserve it but only one suggesting, never stop on a guitar solo 🤘🎸😎
you haven't lived until you've been to a Metallica show
Watch the original music video for Metallica's one, it's like a movie it explains a lot about the song
Metallica concerts are unbelievable. Only other band that puts on a show like them ( that I’ve seen ) is Five Finger Death Punch
U R in the MetallicA Family now, bro! 🤟
Loved your reaction video!
Mate, go and watch this song at Seattle 1989 concert, along with battery and whiplash from the same concert, their best ever concert and one of the greatest performances of all time.
Ride the lightning
live, it really is like nothing on earth! 🤘🏼/m\
I seen them in Seattle 2017? But anyway, the energy was insane! I was front stage and they brought everything front and center and it was crazy!!! Sooo good live!
When you got something to do, or you want to chill, Metallica.
What you listened to is pure genius.
Check out Metallicas " Fade to Black" on Ride the Lightning album
welcome to metal, one of the purest songs ever
Just fot the record, you said bro 726 times. Great reaction!! Keep up the good work!!
React to No Leaf Clover from Symphony&Metallica, or any Metallica song in that album that you haven't heard yet!
I'm sure someone has already pointed it out, but.....
The song is about a soldier who lost both arms, both legs, his voice, his hearing, and his eyes. All he is is a torso and a fully functioning brain and he is begging for death but kept alive by life support.
by the cruel doctors!
Watch Howard Sterns interview with Metallica “One” James explains the whole thing. You’re close in your assessment.
I seen them the last couple times they were in Edmonton. They kicked ass hard!
If you liked this version, check it the live performance of One at Slane Castle. One of the best ever. Watch the original video that shows what the song is about. Also check out Metallica's The Outlaw Torn. Been an instant fan since 1985. I have my favorite and least favorites but a die hard fan. Will be for eternity.
The official video is a work of art. You will be haunted.
You said this sh*t was fire....and you got it...pyro fire.
Seen em 7 times. they are the shit.
Ahh, love to see it. "This is lit, this is FIRE!"
Pyro engineer 11 years ago: "That's the signal, hit the propane valves!"
I seen Metallica twice in my lifetime the best live act on earth by a country mile, if you ever get the chance go see them bro
their official video has cuts from a movie called "johnny got his gun", the cuts show what happened to the boy who got injured in WW1. metallica owns the movie so its doubtful that you will ever find anyplace where you can watch the movie. in the movie, the boys arms, legs and face get blown off by a landmine, and he cant communicate in any way except by blinking his eyes. this is the story of how he tells doctors that he wants to die, but they wont just kill him. now he just exists in a living hell.
Also please do slipknot, spit it out, live download 2009. Amazing crowd and interacting with it.
Oh yessss👍💪✌
Man... James sure missed a chance to say "Are you not entertained!?"
Its loud, very loud, but awesomely loud and fast!
First band to perform there. Simple but good.

I do believe this was shot in Rome, at the Coliseum.
Well...you just listened to the greatest band out there and one of the 4-5 most influental bands ever...I have a modest 17 live shows under my belt.....everyone of them were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘......best live band you can find
This guitar work is crazy, I just laughed and thought you ain't heard shit yet.
