Chris Bush wrong. I was even being generous including the black album. All of the earlier albums were just raw metal of the day, after black they should have just changed their name to nickelback.
Chris Bush thanks for the compliment. But your statement isn't true. I enjoy a variety of genre's, not just metal, or thrash. I simply can't stand their sound after the black album. However, I will give an honorable mention for S&M.
Dude let me tell you. I have seen Metallica live 4 times. You want to know adrenaline? James Hetfield leading a screaming pack with 40,000 people and we're all in sync "DARKNESS! IMPRISONING ME!!!" running around like an absolute maniac... God its fun
Pass it on. Man I raised up to love all genres of music but my main love is rock and metal. A lot of people shy from metal mainly due to the new age screamo crap, that most old school metal heads hate also. You just gotta dive into the genre and find the love in it. I'm everything from Metallica to Tech Nine, to classical, to country. To love music for what it truly is you gotta understand all.
Metal is heavy the way rap is heavy just in a different way. It’s cool to broaden our horizons and enjoy both. I’m a metalhead but I grew up with and still like some rap
Kim Gow yeah that's what I meant. I do have a couple of black male friends I use to work with that listens to rock. One of them introduce me to another band called three days grace.
Buck Futtler ikr?! It’s CRAZY satisfying! Watching him listen to Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time...I couldn’t help but make the same faces he was the whole time!🤘🏽😆✊🏼
Johnny got his gun (1971) is arguably the most hopeless, depressing, darkest film ever made. It's a movie you won't be able to suffer through a second viewing without wanting to slit both your wrists in a bathtub. It's about a WWI soldier who after he's hit by a mortar shell, is left with no arms or legs. No face, no throat, no eyes, no ears and completely unidentifiable. He can't see, hear, smell, speak or move. He's just a chunk of meat that continues to live and is thought to be as "unthinking and uncaring as the dead until the day he joins them" Only he can think and feel and is completely aware of what has happened and is happening to him, he just has no means of communicating that to other people, and people have no means of communicating with him. The movie is from his perspective and switches from his dreams to his daydreams to his conscious mind, only he looses the ability to tell the difference between those states. The most emotionally brutal scene occurs after a rat crawls into his bed and starts to nibble at his flesh before the nurse taking care of him discovers it and chases it away. He starts having nightmares of it eating him alive. In one of his dreams he's having a conversation with Jesus while Jesus is busy working wood in his Father's workshop. He tells Jesus about the rat and his inability to tell the difference between, the real rat and the rat he dreams about. Jesus starts giving him advice like brushing it away, or screaming, or opening his eyes ... but Johnny answers every bit of advice with what makes that impossible. Jesus starts to look ashen with horror at the state Johnny describes himself as being. Finally Jesus says that sometimes people are so completely beyond saving that their misery is contagious and he would like it if Johnny would leave him now. He starts pushing Johnny out the door as Johnny begs him to answer one question. "Am I really here with you right now? Are you even real?" And Jesus responds with "I'm as real as every other dream that never came true." Yeah, it's brutal shit like that. Not only has God abandoned him but his dream of God has too. Metallica wrote the song based on the book the movie is based on, and then bought the rights to the movie to edit it into the song and music video.
I appreciate metal and I’m a huge hiphop fan .., I really believe all genres of music go through times of waves and I think they always come back but as we get older we might not realize that it changed into something that it is but it’s just not “ what we grew up with” you know ?
Yeah, I remember someone requested this song on a stream once, and the guy was like, I hate this kind of music, just about doing a bunch of drugs. Makes me mad thinking back, now that I know the real meaning behind the song.
Reaction videos are literally the easiest and most unoriginal way to gets hits on and monetize content. I would hardly call expanding his musical horizons the impetus for this production.
This song is based off a movie, which is based off a book, which is based off a true story. The movie and book are called "johnny got his gun" great film, awesome book. And metallica did a great job at turning it into a song. LOVE IT!!!
The patriotic American it ain't based on a true story. It is just another anti-war piece from Vietnam I think. A fabrication. I find it difficult to watch because I imagine myself in that position, but that never happened in real life.
Has no one pointed out that the drums are following the Morse code during the break? Metallica's "One" is deeply rooted in the story in more than just lyrics.
If you are wondering, the video clips are from a movie called Johnny Got His Gun. It's about a WWI soldier that awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding landmine. He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body. He is literally living in a state of darkness. It's a movie worth watching.
in his own way he has the same reactions I did when I discovered these songs. I love it when he takes on favorites of mine for the first time and how his reactions take me back to my first time hearing them. It's like reliving the opening of your best surprise Christmas present.
I truly dont understand a lot of the hate Metallica gets. They perfected their music. They've reinvented themselves. They've modified. They've had success and failure, they've had loss and gained so much. They've changed the game and experimented. And they are still killing it.
The video portion of this is from the movie "Johnny got his gun". One of the members of the band saw this movie and wrote the song. This was Metallica's very first video, and was a huge success. However many of their hardcore underground fan base called them sellouts for going commercial and not remaining a true, in their opinions, underground metal band.
Im glad u got to experience metallica i have been listening to them for over 20 years now. Its great to see that someone who likes a diffrent style can be open minded and have the feeling i did in 1992 when when i was 12
I just discovered your channel tonight brother and I just wanted to let you know that your Metallica videos lift my spirits. I've been a fan for 20 years and your reactions to their songs remind me of what it was like for myself when I went album to album discovering their work. Good job man. Genuine emotion. I like that shit.
I'm sure someone has pointed this out by now but the song is based on the book/movie Johnny Got His Gun. The clips are from the movie which was interspersed with the boys playing in that dank-ass room. They wanted to go as basic as possible and have it be about the music but they still got lambasted for selling out, as this was their first music video.
Yes ! As far as I remember the story, Lars Ulrich saw this movie late night on tv, and was amazed ; he searched and bought the rights, and they made it this song
A MUST!!!!!!!! You need to see Metallica performing live in Moscow in 1991 the song “enter sandman”. Over 500,000 people in the crowd right after the Cold War. Insane!!!!
Tallyca Hamulhetru Nope, Metallica has far better shit in their 4 first albums. One, the song in this video, is a great example of it. Facts are facts, not about tastes. Sorry.
Welcome to the Metallifamily! So many to choose from but here's some: - If you want another song similar in structure (starting slow/quiet and ending fast): Fade to Black. - Arguably their greatest song: Master of Puppets. - Straight up thrash: Fight Fire With Fire. - Slower tempo with rhythm and still hits hard: Harvester of Sorrow. - Most well known song: Enter Sandman. - The best of their recent songs (2016): Spit Out the Bone and Halo on Fire. - To see how good they can be live: any songs from Seattle 1989.
Sad is too lightly to put what is going on actually... A man who lost eye sight, arms, legs, hearing...he can only communicate with his head banging by using morse code. It's a story about a guy who stepped on a mine in WW1. lets say truthfully how this story is, and sad is seriously too lightly, too naive. It's very horrible or terrifying, it's a horror of reality.
Imagine laying there, not talking seeing, hearing or anything. Just stuck forever with your thoughts til you die. The video is a brief recap of the movie, where he remembers he knows Morse code and starts talking to people. It reminds me kinda of when I came out of a coma after I had a car accident back in '88, when I couldn't walk or talk for awhile, but I was in touch with the world, after a few weeks, it took that long after being in a coma until I slowly became more aware, but couldn't walk or talk for a few months. I was a Metallica fan then. They premiered the video for ONE I think it was at Midnight on New Year's, or something like that, I watched it from my hospital bed. My favorite album and song. Every song on that album is awesome.
@@jeremysteckman6234 I appreciate all their service. I wasn't trying to come off as challenging. Just songs effective by some experience. I love a lot of music and songs but this and Five Finger Death Punch: Wrong side of heaven,hit home.
@@phoenixashes1026 understandable I'm not a soldier but I seen plenty of good ones and have been kept on the straight and narrow because of them so I guess my mannerism and values came from a Marine I thank God for that
My brother I’m so glad you loved this song. Watching you cringe while the guitar went Yam was the best I was laughing from joy of seeing some one els love this band lol
I’m sure 1 million people have already commented this, but to answer your question the guitarist is Kirk Hammett. I have a Kirk Hammett guitar, it’s my favorite. That shit is So sweet
Kirk Hammett is one of the best guitarists of all time and his high-school friend, Les Claypool, is one of the best Bassists of all time. Check out his band, Primus. Very weird but amazing skills.
watching you watch this brings me back to my Jr High school years back when this first came out. my excitement for your excitement is a wonderful feeling, and it's almost like hearing it again for the first time. I rewound that cassette more times than i can count. great reaction! subscribed!
You just earned another sub... Ive been METALLICA fan since 1984! Your head started boppin on its own... That's the power of METALLICA and how enthralling & engaging thier music is. To see a genuine reaction to virgin metal ears... 👍👍👍👍👍👍 METALLICA originally was: James HETFIELD-vocals/ guitar Dave Mustaine - guitar Cliff Burton(RIP) bass Kirk Hammit - guitar & solo god Lars Ulrich - drums Cliff died in an accident while on tour in Sweden. Mustaine was kicked out due to issues(he created Megadeath) Mid 80s - 2008ishRoster: James Hetfield Kirk Hammit Jason Newsted Lars Ulrich Current roster: James Hetfield Kirk Hammit Rob Trujillo Lars Ulrich Check out thier documentary called Some Kind of Monster that'll keep ya jamming METALLICA for life... For me, on to your next reaction vid!
@@j-gam6666 you might be the first person I've met that knows that Ron was the original bassist. I believe it was before kill em all, mainly for early demos. Might have been the bassist for "metal up your ass"
Those movie clips are from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun". Soldier in World War 1 gets his arms, legs and part of his face blown off and he cannot speak or see. I think he was rendered deaf as well. I haven't seen it in years. Really sad but powerful anti-war movie that I would recommend to anyone.
Father: You're gonna make the world safe for democracy! Joe: What is democracy? Father: Well it's never bright clear on myself. Like any other kind government it's got something to do with young men killing each other I believe.
Sanitarium, for whom the bell tolls, blackened, shortest straw, holy wars or any metallica song at that! Loved watching u watch this! U have a great smile sir!
Matthew Ford not to be hating because it's cool to see anyone listening to Metallica but does anyone think this is just 100% coincidence that lost in Vegas listened to this same exact song not long ago? Like I said it's cool to see but I'm gonna assume he has heard this AND seen a reaction to it already...
I get chills listening to this song it’s so good. It’s filled with so many emotions and themes - fathers and sons, patriotism, war, suffering, sadness, anger, fear, aggression, loneliness - and they make you feel it when they play.
Look up the video where Metallica played a show at the South Pole. They flew down there and played for about fifty scientists and technicians from all over the world on a solar-powered sound system outside. Without the lights and stage and all the concert bullshit, it is just them and their skills. Made me a fan
BTW Welcome to the Family KTF!! ;-) If you like music with decent drums and guitar work, check out AX7's "Buried Alive" or "The Stage". The Stage video also has that "Movie" feel to it, IMHO anyway. Look forward to your reaction to either or both. Peace...
You are one of my absolute fav reaction channels. So genuine. You can see it in your smile, and now I'm smiling, so I guess that's how this is supposed to work.
If you want to learn guitar jump on it my friend. The longer you wait the harder it’ll be. My brother is 13 years younger than me. My father, grandmother, grandfather, my fathers aunt, I even have cousin who is a big name in Christian rock/gospel and myself are all musicians. We all started as kids. So my brother always wanted to learn but never did. There were plenty in the family that could’ve taught him. My dad plays bass and Guitar. I can play guitar, bass, mandolin, ukulele and drums. Anyway my brother never took any interest in it. Fast forward to now and he’s 31 years old and just bought his first guitar. He’s learned a little but it’s tough for him. My suggestion is if you wanna learn go for it. It’s an absolute blast. I say all the time that nothing reaches across all boundaries, sex, race, age, languages, countries etc like music. Nothing but music, in my opinion, can take you back in time. A song can come on from your high school years, or even to a date you were on a special woman, and immediately it takes you back to your high school times. That’s playing it on radio. When you can play the music you love....man it just puts you in the year. It puts you in the band when you can play along. Go for it man. You’ll be glad you did
If you enjoyed that, next best song is 'Master of Puppets'. Dude on lead guitar is Kirk Hammett (although James Hetfield, lead vocal and rhythm guitar, will often do solos , too).
COEXISTential also fun fact (kinda) kirk has something with his knuckles where he starts to BLEED from playing the guitar! He LITERALLY shreds his fuckin' hands playing!!!
We had a juke box on the second level in cafeteria at school. Only seniors were allowed to be on second level. This song was played every day never gets old.
Man I simply loved reliving this video with you bro, in 1990 I was 15 yrs old now came from a poor upbringing so I was in a music shop in England and I stole this video and I didn't even know who metallica was. I must of watched that video over 400 times. Guilty for the steal n I'm sorry but it blew my mind so much just like you. Keep the home fire burning.. Yeah Yeah 😉😎
Nice to know other people had to do the same as me to get to listening to this classic track. Keep on rocking in a free world.. lol i hope metallica made some money after all the the videos n tapes stolen.. but i did buy everything thete after i even got an UNKLE Remix of St Anger on Vinyl a few years back. Love it all. Oh yeah 😎
Michael Geoghegan - U.S. here- i borrowed my brother-in-law's cassette and never returned it, haha. The first time I ever really cared about music was when I heard this song. I've been watching these reaction videos for the last 5 hours just because I love seeing people react the same way I did when I first heard songs like this
I've watched this video for 30 years or so. I loved the reaction great balance between being hyped about it yet deeply genuinely touched by the imagery. I could see the concerns on your face.
I did watch that movie Johnny got his gun. I found it at Blockbuster I couldn't believe it and it even had tribute to Metallica on the cover of the VHS as before DVDs were around. The patient was doing the voice sound overs of his thoughts. When they brought him in to the hospital they thought he was brain dead but he was conscious as you and I are and when the nurse was unwrapping his bandages he was realizing that he didn't have any more arms and legs and you could hear his thoughts because he was talking with the voice over of saying how am I going to work without any arms and how am I going to walk without my arms and I can't marry my girlfriend she's not going to want me like this. And the only time he was happy was when he was dreaming because he dreamed that he was a full man and Donald Sutherland played God in the movie. Yeah I searched for this movie when this video came out because I want to watch the whole thing. Metallica before they even knew the book or the movie was around they thought about writing a song about someone who couldn't hear who couldn't see who couldn't talk and couldn't walk and then they came across the book and then the movie and they watched the movie and that inspired them to write the song the way they did and put the movie in the video they did. It's one of my favorite songs and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I think you need to react to Fuel by Metallica next.
Dude you killed I had a blast watching you enjoy one of the world's greatest rock band of all time I produce hip hop and love it to the core But Metallica is my #1 love You made me relive the 1st time I heard them Thanks
Welcome to the world of metal! I'm enjoying watching you discover this music for yourself. It's wonderful! From an old metalhead who loves all forms of music, cheers!
This fun watching people experience these songs for the first time. The first time I heard Kirk play, it blew my mind just the same. I was only 12 at the time. 👍🏻
I first heard this song back in 98ish and i still rock this shit out on the daily and after 20 years it never gets old. I still say Metallica is one the greatest bands ever and One is one of the greatest songs ever written. Nuff said
beautyyy bybri That’s great. Yeah my dad went to Woodstock so i grew up listening to the doors and Led Zeppelin etc. Metallica was my life all through the late 80s early 90s. I wish i knew girls like you into that music growing up. They all liked new kids on the block and stuff. Yuck!
Try Welcome Home Sanitarium. The intro is fantastic. I don’t know why, but I was happy you liked One. Metallica is my all time favorite Group and I’ve seen them live quite a few times over the years. I’m 56 now and still crankin on full volume. They play as fast and as hard as any band out there and all are in sync. So many great songs with a lot going on. I didn’t read the comments, going to do that now. I’m sure you heard another song or two but Sanitarium is just a great tune as is For Whom the Bell Tolls
NJA 3 oh yeah I seen them live before and I loved it. They Put on a awesome show. Oh everytime I hear Welcome Home Sanatorium that always makes me want to learn how to play a gutiar. 🎸
If you are looking for just instrumentals listen to "Orion" or "Fade to Black" from them, still gives me chills to hear them. Their second smash hit from back then was called "Enter Sandman" so you could try that one. "Master of Puppets" will probably end up being the most requested song for you to listen to though,. It's truly one of their best songs imo. Enjoy this road you have chosen. This was a huge part of the soundtrack to my childhood.
Dude!!!!!!! There’s soooooo much for you to hear from these rock gods!!!!!! Enter sandman!!! For whom the bell tolls!!!! Nothing else matters!!! The unforgiven!!! These cats are legendary, bro!! Master of puppets... and so on.......damn, sad but true is bad ass too
xian1131 bro do you even watch the channel? Homeboy’s a rap head barely even heard Metallica for the first time a week ago, how the fuck am I gonna just go and throw their hardest shit at dude in the first week when he don’t even like rock like that? You gotta ease em into it then let me hear all their badass early shit when they get used to the sound.
Lead Guitar: Kirk Hammett. The fast solo in this song is one of his best if not the best, but he has played plenty of good ones over the years. Singer and Rhythm Guitar: James Hetfield. Drummer: Lars Ulrich. Bass Guitar: Jason Newsted. Fans will know, but for non fans, or new fans, unfortunately the bass guitar is turned so low in the mix it is hardly audible. This was the case in the whole '...And Justice for All' album. Jason was 'the new guy' who replaced Cliff Burton after his tragic death in a road accident during their tour. The guys were having a lot of trouble mourning his death while still having to tour and record, and there was some nastiness and anger, sometimes focused on Jason.
So glad you got to experience Metallica for the first time with One. That song got me into Metallica when I was 11 years old and changed my life. Now you know how I felt back then. It was pure magic and watching your reaction was awesome! Glad you loved it!
Great song to choose as an introduction to Metallica, I used to be a die hard fan back in my youth, though after the Black album I stopped following their new work, the old classics are definitely the best. Love your reactions though mate, I’ve watched quite a lot of them the last couple days and to see you appreciate bands like Zeppelin, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Metallica etc is great, I enjoy a wide variety of different music genres too, I’ve played guitar for quite a few years myself, and have a huge love for Hip Hop, I couldn’t just be tied down to one style of music, there’s too much good stuff out there. 🙂
Love ur channel love ur new music brother rock n roll been killing it since the beginning. Real music real talent lots of really great band's out there that are almost forgotten today. It's sad. Ty for helping bring em back.
Metallica has changed a ton over the years, but you should give all the different flavours a try. Start with the old stuff, follow their career. Orion is my favorite song. Just let that shit chill in the background.
Broadsie69 good deal I'll look for the reaction to the song when I get out of work I'll get some more for you I'll give you a whole bunch of stuff to react to
omg yes! i got to see that tour. way back in the day. the entire album..VIVID! lol i just listened to it today too.weird stood right at the feet of Vernon Reid shredding holy shit was amazing
King this was their 1st video EVER off of their 4th studio record . They were ruling with no Mtv video play . The did it by playing concerts and underground trading between friends of their music . They were already a Headlining act without a single video , very hard to do in 1988 !!!!
I think your confused Brother Hear me out . Black Album came out in 90 or 91 but the rest of the 90's was Load and Re-load any True Metallica fan hated them both . The band that saved METAL in the 90's was PANTERA Cowboy's FH in 90 , Vulgar Display of Power in 93 or 94 and capped off the Decade with Far Beyond Driven a couple of yrs later !! Metallica had nothing to contribute . I also give a Nod to Alice in Chains even though they were lumped with Grunge one listen tells you they were Metal not Grunge .. I was a Professional session Guitarist during that time. I had a Unique seat to watch it all unfold . Grunge was depressing and was over 3 yrs after it Fucked over the Awesome 80s early 90's Metal scene ect. I hope you agree if not its a free country dude Peace ...
Dam dude i was here from when you first started these reactions and it's crazy to see how much your channel has grown much love, this song is really good
Your are CLEARLY an ARTIST to stop and select the sections of the music that you like and play it back.... Great ear and open mind... your videos are making my day... and your making me want to work on my fiddle pedal board today for my gig tonight lol... love your videos my friend!
This song is a favorite among combat veterans for obvious reasons. Another favorite is "Wrong Side of Heaven" by Five Finger Death Punch, you should do a reaction video on that one.
This was how I discovered Metallica. Back when video jukebox was a thing. My dad got hooked and that was the first Compact Disc he ever bought. Sent me on a terrific path of different genres.
