First Time Hearing ‘Metallica - One' | REACTION! 

I know a lot of you dislike when when I cut the videos so here you go!🔥 unfiltered, un-cut, with minimal pauses genuine first reaction to a highly requested song! Enjoy!🤠🤘🏼

I'm genuinely so jealous of anyone who gets to hear this song for the first time. It's a classic!

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.

This song is one the greatest songs Metallica 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.

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!

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 RU-vid 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...

The fact that a metal song had melody, storytelling on this level, was pretty groundbreaking

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 🤘

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

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!

Bro, the fast part's the best part. xD you're weird

One - it's a masterpiece 🤘

You should listen to the studio versions of songs first 👍🏼

Mate. I really like the smile creeping onto your face before the "Darkness, imprisoning me..." part. You are hooked. And you know it :D

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.

You guys completely missed the point of the whole song but your reactions were honest and enjoyable. Keep up the good stuff.

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.

The genius of the song is the slow burn up to the raw heavy part

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.

It's called a guitar solo. It's the best part of metal music.

The girls loves it you can tell. I think she loved the whole song.

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.

Metallica One is one of there best songs and videos . Great reaction to it . the video is from a short War story.

Play this song almost every single day. I will never get over this song. I hope you enjoy it (stated before watching the video)

Pick any song from the Master of Puppets album

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!

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

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...

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.

Brilliant riff an drums in this song double bass awesome one of my favourite songs

Greatest Song and Lyrics in the History!

This is my favorite Metallica song! Thank you so much.

Seen them live this year best concert and One live and video gives me chills the song is so amazing 🤘🤘🤘🙌 One my favorites of all time!

One is my favorite Metallica song's, with Harvester of sorrow, and "and justice for all" my favorite Metallica album's

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

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.

You should react to Jinjer "Pisces"

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.

One of my favourite song from Metallica.. Nice reaction

Epic reaction

Great reaction bro❤️

I've listen to this song since I was a kid and today I'm 40 years old and still love every second of it !!!!!

i remember hearing this for the first time. the early 90s, i was around 10 years old. i listened to it over and over again. my older brothers were pissed. lol. i played this song until the tape wore out. yes, the cassette tape. lol

I owned this on VHS when I was a kid. It's one of my favorite songs

it hurts me a lot. but for you guys.. i keep on smiling

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.

This song is really an instrumental with lyrics. Great, great song.

They are the kings of transitions!

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!

That song absolutely shreds.

If you want the true experience, you gotta see them live. I went in January and it was absolutely amazing

This song is so deep, and I wish I appreciated it the first time I heard it

War is never ending. if I'm not mistaken the drums are mimicking the gun fire.

Some people say they like the music video, I think most people would say listen to just the song first. It speaks for itself

I remember when this video first came out on MTV I was in my early teens it was Metallica's first video it was awesome then and it's still awesome now I haven't seen that video in many years till today LOL🤘👹🤘

wtf?????do you know metal??how to play guitar??what's harmony?? The Best Metal Song Ever "ONE"

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 😊

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

I remember my first time hearing this...kicked my ass! Lol

I wish I could hear One for the first time again. Masterpiece.

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.

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

Heavy Metal is not for everyone but I’m glad you guys gave this masterpiece a chance. Cheers! \m/

I can somewhat understand your experience with it.. When I first heard this style of music, it mostly sounded like mashed up sounds. Hard to pick up a feel for it, and hard to distinguish what's going on, musically, throughout the song. Once I started to listen to the same songs, usually from bands like Metallica and GunsNRoses, I started to develop my musical ear and was able to pick up the feel for the rhythm and eventually was able to distinguish the chord changes and which instrument was producing what. Once I picked up the guitar and started learning to play, it made me appreciate and love the instrumentation of these songs even more. Learning the guitar also gave me a better musical ear and a little more insight on how it's actually being played. Unlike the commercialized music that the majority listens to today, these Metal/rock songs are complex and change pace a lot, much like classical music. I'm starting to even like some classical songs now. Lol

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

Greaterthengod I remember in 2017 watching Metallica one replay the video for 3 hours.

yeah they're reacting to "Metallica - Woon."

Great video. I would reccomend looking into Tenacious D or even Helloween, specifically from Helloween, anything from the 2 keeper of the seven keys albums.

Metallica was so ahead of it’s time with the music they made in the ‘80s, especially when you pay attention to the lyrics

You need to do a reaction video to this song from their Seatle 89 concert

You should do some pink floyd Time Money Comfortably numb

What radio u mean the movie in the background?

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.

enjoyed your reactions! nex one should be "blind guardian - the bard's song" or if you like more metallica "fade to black"

Head banging is front-back head moving not left-right.

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.

Yeeeeeeeeesss! finally!

The movie overlapping is "Jonny got his Gun" from the 60's and the book is a great read!

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

The movie scenes are from Johnny Got His Gun. The book was published in 1939. The movie was in 1971.

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.

It's 2019. How the hell have you not heard these pieces of art??

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

what kind of music does Amy usually listen to?

smart people , nice reaction

My favorite song for the past 30 years

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

Try watching them play it live. I’d check out from the Seattle 1989 concert from Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge video. This video is the version intercut with the 1971 anti war movie “Johnny got his Gun”. But the live version or the album version is best ways to listen or watch.

The whole album is fantastic.

It is alot to take in the first time without the parts added in from the old movie. Need to listen a few times(non video). I've been listening to them for 30+ years, Saw them live a few times. Great to see younger generations hear it for the first time, Thanx youtube :)

The "Noise" in the background is from a movie called "Johnny Got A Gun"

Its masterpiece, greatest heavy metal song

There is a “jammin” version of this video. It’s on the two of one dvd or vhs

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.

The video just contains bits of the movie that the song is referring to. I believe it was also a book too.

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

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.

I’m sure some has said this already the radio part was just for the video. Actual doing doesn’t have it. The radio parts are from the movie/book this song is based off on. Album version doesn’t have it. If I am understanding what you meant by radio. I enjoyed your reaction. Meaning is really dope.

No arms. No legs. No sight
