Metallica One // Pastor Reaction & analysis 

The thing I remember the most was the video.... It was awesome aye!... Music was alright as well lol

I'm too young to have seen this in 89 but I think when I first saw the video I played it for the next month along with other songs

I admit it, I cried

@@jaimeschmidt1264 Thats a real reaction!

i saw the premiere, and i thought its quality rivaled even michael jackson's videos of the time. but i had seen the movie Johnny Got His Gun prior to seeing the music video, so it wasn't quite completely new to me.

LOL 😆

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝 this is the fuckin funniest shit ive read all day!☝️🤘🤟

Jesus was in no way Caucasian.

@@joshburns5236 easy imagine this white dude trying to hide in Egypt. Aint happening

and his fist word wa "yow"

an argument for euthanasia

I would say it like: "This is a song about stealing a man's life and a man's death at the same time"

Fucking hell I have never thought of it that way

Mine is a line from it: "absolute horror".

Mine is: “A song about a dead/alive man”

Lol!! Niiiice!!

He's a badass Pastor!

At least he isn't categorizing Metal as the Devil's work like many other religious people do. They actually see it as it really is... Pure deep meaning songs with powerful riffs and solos.

I was younger when I got into Metallica, due to my dad being a massive fan when he was in his 20's

I was either 7 or 8. It was some time after Master of Puppets but before Justice when I first discovered them.

I prefer to fear things as they are happening

In what situation? Combat or being a mute deaf blind quadriplegic?

@@randallbollinger9625 Um.... well....either.

@@nurseshrek I respectfully disagree with the two choices of lying or insane. Best of luck with your future endeavors

I was 11 when I first watched this video, I’m now 16 and it did scare me- I couldn’t imagine that happening to someone.

That was what I was waiting for them to react to.

@@tob.meister Did we ever went to war because of religion?

@@paultoma9600 WTF are you on about weirdo. This music video uses clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" and that movie tells a story about a WW1 soldier. So either you don't know anything about history and you're saying that WW1 started because of religious reasons, or you're saying nothing at all.

I actually saw the movie, sadly only the nurse was willing to help him die while everyone else just passed the buck on it not wanting to do it or not accept the responsibility for it. Even worse they fire her after stopping her and basically just had him keep on keeping on whether he wanted to or not.

@@tob.meister Paul asked a question. Was the aggressiveness in your response warranted?

I feel you brother. Still trapped in my body.

Hold my breathe as i wish for death

Hey sorry to hear you guys have to deal with PTSD, it's a terrible thing that no one deserves to go through. There is a natural medicine that comes from the earth that is proven to heal, I've done alot of research about this and read tons of success stories. I too have experienced the true healing power of this medicine. So I'm a believer, and I'm just tryin to help others, no one deserves to suffer. Research psilocybin mushrooms and PTSD. Wish you guys the best and thank you for your service! www.valleycentral.com/news/state-legislature/state-funded-psychedelic-therapy-research-for-veterans-could-come-out-of-texas/

I experienced this video for the first time in 6th grade way back in the 80’s. I grew up and joined the military and eventually joined the army, served in Iraq 2 tours…came home, struggled with mental health however I overcame my issues with therapy and continue my path through the yrs. This song is not triggering for me however it is very stimulating for me as far as looking at life as a whole versus looking at life in stages or in phases according to anything. I look at life as a whole with my past as a learning opportunity for the rest of my life. Life will adhere to whatever environment you allow it to. If you want it to have a ton of support via therapy, woke shit, proper pronouns, etc….then there will life be. If you prefer other things then there in will ther be for you. Take control of your own life through mental persistence…not saying avoid religion….I’m saying go where you have strength that works for you. I appreciate the art….way more than RU-vid allows me to. My life is full because of what this video gave me many yrs ago. And I am thankful

i'm a non-combat disabled vet, myself. the song still hits me very hard.

God bless you brother and the troops!!

Hopefully everyone can get along eventually

Very well said.

my fav book. I couldn't put it down . Excellent writer.

I remember that part about the rat

Fun fact: One wasn't based off of Johnny Got His Gun. In the book he was hit by an artillery shell but in the song he stepped on a landmine. The song and book were just so similar that Metallica had to buy the rights to Johnny Got His Gun (the movie) so they didn't have to pay royalties.

@@PotatoL001 I'm confused. Why do the show clips from the movie that was later adapted from the book in the music video?

@@shuckins because they saw the movie and thought it would go great with the song hence why they bought the rights to it. Im sure if they still had to pay royalties for having clips from the movie in their song it would've been more costly to pay for that than to just buy the rights to the movie itself.

"He's a product of your profession. Not mine.". Probably the most stone cold delivery I've ever heard.

A man was sacrificed for another man ,and that man suffered eternally for no reason

As a Marine myself I look at it another way. There are things in this world worth protecting, worth dying for, worth being maimed for. This song for me was a sobering reminder that behind all the action movies and video games about it, war is hell and those that dare descend into it's depths for their fellow man are the strongest of all. I speak, not of myself, though I was willing I was not sent to combat during my time in. ...but I knew men and women that were, some just boys and girls. I lived across from the barracks they would stay at when they got out of the hospital and were pending separation. I saw 18-19 year olds with no legs, missing a hand or foot, an eye, totally paralyzed. I made it my mission to go over there every single day, share my smokes and talk to them. To me this song speaks of the horrors of war, yes, but in my mind, it only makes the sacrifices of those who fight that much greater and more apparent. No matter the cost, brave and valiant men and women will always stand for our country. ..and now and in the future as in times past they will prove themselves worthy of the trust we put in them to defend us all. It's true that war is a human created thing, but it's a thing that is sometimes necessary and unavoidable, and at that time, this we'll defend. Semper Fi. o7 "Greater love hath no one than this; that he give up his life for his friend" I hate to disagree with Jesus himself, but I must, in war; the dead are the lucky few, but it is still worth it.

Which is why Jesus said that if you have no sword (gun), sell your coat & get 1, cos they'll be coming after us. If they hated Jesus, they'll hate us for loving Jesus

@@TresTrefusis war is a good thing... without wars we had not 8 billion on earth, we had 20, 30 or more and then we had much more problems than now with that few wars...

Munkee Brayn Stoo you’re crazy dude

My thumb was just a blur

SAME

@@mariabakalou8027 x4!!!

Same here, lol.

Death was a fast click to

But later on those lyrics change from "oh please God wake me" to "oh please God help me" which i think means he lost any hope because he realized what happened to him

And frighteningly prophetic...

The black album is technically the darkest.

Nike_Swoosh LMAO

@@nike_swoosh9122 get em!!

Personally I think puppets was the darkest in my opinion, but to each is own.

Truth!! It’s a awesome song tho 👊💀

Hi Karen!

square942 what’s crackin dawg

yup, war can do that to you...

I miss that too!!

headbangers ball...ooo thats a long time ago...or MTV Rockweekend.. those were the musical magig days.. waiting for 2 weeks to see a glimp from a live performence of your favorite artist

I did a book report in 95 my junior year of high school, on Jonny Got His Gun, and I would listen to One on a continuous loop while reading the book, how I was able to maintain my consintration is beyond me. I got an A on that book report. I miss headbangers ball to.

i was born in 90 n i feel old 😅 first song i heard from Metallica was Mama Said n it was kinda new song at that time and heard some other songs like turn the page, the unforgiven which was kinda soft. i heard sad but true when i joined college cuz of my friend then only i started to listen to some other heavy stuff n they were all awesome.

@@ArminThapa shit...in that case i,m a dinasaur!!!

Amazing testimony. Thanks for sharing and God bless you!

@@jbauman8296 Thank you ! God is amazing 😊

So powerful

God allows us to reach our rock bottom so that we'll KNOW that we need him, can't live without him. Then, he uses that brokenness in 7s to help others who are where we were. I've nearly slit my wrists but, could never bring myself to actually cut them. Then, I was dead in a car wreck. God showed me that he had way more for me to do & it wasn't yet my time. Talked to the paramedics, tho. I was definitely dead. It took 7 defib shocks to restart my heart & lungs. I can! Remember being in Paradise and looking down at myself in a coma. Very eye opening

@@munkeebranestoo5259 I totally agree with what you say. Bad things allow us to rely on Christ and teaches us to put our trust in Him and let Him do the right things trough us, not by our will or strength, but with His'.

Dang

Still applies to us war veterans. We're still trapped in our body.

I cry every time I hear this song, I honestly dont understand how someone could resist crying when imagine what this situation would do and has done to people. I honestly didnt really like this reaction because it seemed like the pastor was afraid of letting himself feel that sorrow and really understand the point of the song. It was a good analysis of his opinion though so not a bad video just not how I wish it had gone down.

​@@andyv2209 With the hard time the family's had, I figure the response was affected by it. Perhaps just trying to be strong as an emotional anchor got to be a habit, or maybe there is lingering anxiety playing a part. I can definitely see what you were talking about, though.

@@nogosnoqt oh did they go through something? I don't really know about all that but yeah it makes sense. It honestly reminds me of how I reacted to tough emotions after my mom died when i was 10 and it pains me to see it because it's so healing to let go control of your emotions but it takes time so I get it asked don't blame him for it, just hope some day he can have the peace to not say away from that stuff like i used to.

Keep your head up man. Praying for you. I'm sorry about that but dont let it be who you are. You are more than your past and more than your fortunes and misfortunes.

I have use of one arm left , had a fall 2 days ago , getting worse as my MS is progressing, I grieve my independence, my body is trapping me

@@RavenMacy I will pray for you Cheryl !

I'm in your boat,for different reasons.I'm 32,last year in July my legs spontaneously stopped working properly.They gave out,went numb with burning over the course or 3 days.2 weeks in the hospital later they diagnosed me with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.I couldn't walk for almost 4 months,and it took another 6 months using a walker after literally dragging myself across the floor to use the bathroom for months.I can kind of walk now,but the nerves in my legs are gone,and it affected my hands as well.I have so much trouble coping,I went from working 60 hour weeks to hardly being able to get out of bed.It's pure devastation,being alone with your thoughts.

@@SJamesGill88 Prayers . Life is so precious, I can remember living life on the edge and living like a rockstar and one day a simple little trip and fall crippled me for life! Stay strong and keep your faith never give up!!!

"when a man dies,..." I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

Fade to Black was played at my brother's funeral. His favorite song, not exactly tied to his untimely death. Hard to plan a funeral for an 18 year old, but I can never forget the tie we have to the song.

It's such a weird thing. "What? You're opposed to ultimately petty, destructive conflict which tends to result in the death, mutilation and displacement of many people? You must be some kind of (insert vilified label)!"

@@0okamino It was a side effect of the times, and the nature of a given group that picked it up and started using it as propaganda headed into WWII. Things beyond Trumbo's control, but the powers that be didn't really care.

We filmed it after we shot this video. It will drop next week.

load and re load were cool tho

Back in the days of Beavis and Butthead.

@@SimoExMachina2, exactly. That was the last good reason to watch Mtv.

I'm no social justice warrior, but this is definitely a piece of music that speaks to people with depression and disabilities (I have OCD and have struggled with anxiety and depression). I have a theological education myself, and I know that churches unfortunately do not focus enough on the Lamentations of Jeremiah and the sufferings of Israel in Judges. Our society is permeated by a constant veneration of positivity, excluding those who would bring stories of intense suffering to the worshipers of the upbeat. To have a well-rounded life, we must mourn with those who mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice. Romans 12:15. People with depression and other disabilities have heard the "be positive" and "Look on the bright side" spiel a million times. They do need messages of hope, but more than that, they need those who will not trivialize their pain.

@xLttPx yep, this amp was something that his mother gave to him or something like it
