Metallica - One REACTION! *(Full Lyrics) THIS JUST DIFFERENT!!🔥 

🔥🔥C&R GANG WE LOVE Y’ALL💯IF NEW SUBSCRIBE🙏🏾AND JOIN THE FAMILY!! LIKE AND SHARE👏🏽 WE TAKING OVER GANG🤟🏽‼️😡

Its about a soldier who stepped on a landmine. When he woke up he is blind, deaf and lost arms and legs. They keep him alive through machines in the hospital. He is trapped in hos body with his thoughts. Very dark lyric.

That moment...when people realize that Metallica has world class musicians.

Rheasia: "This one is more mellow" Metallica: "Hold My Beer"

The song is literal. Soldier blows up, has no arms, no legs, he’s blind and deaf

Damn, 32 years later this song still hits hard AF.

Bruh she said "thats it?" after a 7 minute 45 second song! That's what's up!!🤣🤣

The fact that you said “that’s it” after a 7+ minute song makes me happy.

Mad respect yall kids coming out your comfort shell and coming to the world of metal.🤘

Listen to a full length Metallica song and say, "That's it?" They're becoming metalheads. 😂

She went from "I dont get it" to after a 7 minute song is over she says "wait, that's it?" That's beautiful

Rheasia: "This one is more mellow" Metallica: "Machine Gun riff"

The song just builds and builds and builds. Metallica’s strength.

I love watching black folks get introduced to metal!!!!!!! The expressions on your face of your mind being blown is legit amazing. United we stand. One race..... human race!!!!!!!

Instrumentally alone it's a masterpiece.

James only sings like 3 minutes out of nearly 8, but the music tells the story. The lyrics convey context, but the music conveys emotion throughout, loneliness, despondency, sadness, and the primal desperation of someone who is unable to live and unable to die pleading for someone to make it all stop, but unable to communicate that to anyone. Heaviest song I've ever listened to in my life.

I have a handicapped brother from doctors error at birth aged 53. This song is the song that makes me think and cry when I hear it. Loved your reactions. My brother cannot live and cannot die. He too is trapped in a cell. Love the life you have. Much love.

During the solo Lars is actually playing kill me in Morse code on the bass drum. It’s a reference from the original book and movie.

The final verses just before the ending Solo basically explained what this song's about: "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"

the intensity in your faces as you sing the lyrics....*sheds tears of joy*

I listened to this song as a kid and loved it. Now that I'm an adult and a combat veteran the song has a very strong message that really hits home and gives me the chills when I listen to it.

Get headphones! You're going to feel it so much more.

Love y'all getting into Metallica. You should also check out Creeping Death about God's punishment of Egypt for enslaving the Hebrews or Fade To Black about depression and suicidal thoughts. Metallica master heavy topics like that.

This sounds like a song not to play in the room with your friend in a coma

I cant stop laughing when he paused and says "that shit is hard as fuck" 🤣🤣 funny reaction to an awesome song 🤙

I see a new metalhead being born before my eyes

"He is the armless, legless, wonder of the 20th century!"

Definitely an authentic first reaction there. Could we have a second reaction video where you watch the official video to this song? Would be awesome!

When ya know whats coming, and your waiting for it like a landmine 🤘🏼

What's great is .. after years of listening , ya tend to forget how cool it was the first time you hear a song that raised your awareness of something, and seeing you guys go thru it makes it awesome again.

Watching ya'll headbang has made my week! Black Headbangers are HEROES!!

Based on the movie Johnny got his gun. About a soldier who literally lost everything except his life from a landmine

The lyrics are pretty literal in this track. It's about a soldier who stepped on a landmine and lost both arms and legs, sight, and hearing. He's just a body laying there with no way to communicate or even know if anybody is listening. It's based off of a movie that is based off of a book. The music video tells the story pretty well. It's pretty heartbreaking.

The soldier that "One" is about is not in a coma - he's fully aware while being tied to machines that keep him alive in the hospital. He's essentially paralyzed. He has no arms, no legs, can't see, can't speak, cannot communicate with the outside world - he just exists in his own mind. Imagine that darkness is all that you will ever see and pain is all that you will ever feel. BUT... he does find a way to communicate and you'll have to watch the movie that this song is about to find out. The movie is called "Johnny Got His Gun". :)

They played this at the Grammys, and you can see the dumbfounded faces of the people not used to hear this kinda music.

The book is Johnny got his gun, same name for the movie

This is just one of the greatest metal songs ever hands down

Two fun facts for you: 1.) Metallica bought the rights to the movie "Johnny Get Your Gun" so they could put clips of the film into the music video. 2.) This was also the FIRST music video Metallica did and that aired on MTV. When they did that, they took some flak for it, being told by some fans that they "sold out to MTV".

I've watched quite a few of your reactions to Metal and I just gotta say that it is so refreshing to see how you react. The way you approach with an open mind is great. You see the talent and technical ability it takes to make this type of music. I love how you actually get into it. There are so many genres of music that I like but I'll admit that I'm pretty closed minded when it comes to Hip Hop and Rap music (assuming that's what you're mainly into). I haven't really ever given it a chance. If you could suggest 1 or 2 songs/videos that might open my eyes I'd be willing to check them out. I applaud you two young souls. Keep it up.

Y'all opened up a whole other interpretation of this song . Thank you so much for for listening.

Bro I love how into this song y’all are, the energy is infectious. Just vibing, really fun reaction. Like others have said, this song is literal. It’s brutal in its simplicity, probably my favorite Metallica track

Chris listens to the first verse of One: "I'm getting suicidal thoughts".

7:00 literally the EXACT reaction i got from my black friends in college when i showed them this song at this part LMAO subbed

Metallica's older songs always felt like there were two singers, the frontman and that blissful guitar

"That's it?" Best reaction ever. Keep going...there are so many gems yet to be heard!

The Call of Ktulu, and Orion are full blown masterpieces that take you on a journey to another place, and there isn't a single word. Headphones are a must, sit back and relax, there is nothing to see so close your eyes, and let your mind go with the music. When it is over open your eyes and tell me where you have been. That is the reaction I want to see. Love your videos keep them coming!

"How do they switch up like that?" Well, don't fire up Dream Theater yet, you may not be ready...

Love how the lyrics tell exactly what’s goin on and they still don’t figure it out lol guys are funny

It's about a soldier in war who hit a landmine and has his leg, arms, sight, sound, etc taken. and this song is his thoughts in his head he cannot express to people

This song is based on the novel and movie "Johnny Got His Gun." The main character steps on a landmine during WW1 but is "saved." He wakes up limbless with the loss of all of his senses, except his mind works perfectly.

"I don't know where to go" Might be the most honest moment I've ever seen. Oh, in a reaction....

I love how you guys get so into the lyrics with your reactions. You se to genuinely want to understand the message of the music, not react on face value.

That was the most honest and amazing "What the fuck" moment I've seen. Does my heart good!

"wtf was that?" greatness my friend. legends.

Well, This song is about a soldier fighting in a war and a mortar blows off in his face. He can't hear, see, smell, taste and he doesn't have arms or legs. He comes out of a coma in a hospital. During the time he is in the hospital he reflects on his life and things his father told him. Eventually the doctors get worried because he's having spasms all the time, but he doesn't seem to be dying. They call in the general and he can't figure it out either but the soldier with the general recognizes it. "It's Morse code," he says. The general asks what he is saying and the soldier looks for a minute and then says, "He is saying K-I-L-L- M-E over and over again." As I recall, the lyrics are based on the 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, which is about World War I. A specific passage that inspired the song is: "How could a man lose as much of himself as I have and still live? When a man buys a lottery ticket you never expect him to win because it's a million to one shot. But if he does win, you'll believe it because one in a million still leaves one. If I'd read about a guy like me in the paper I wouldn't believe it, cos it's a million to one. But a million to ONE always leaves one. I'd never expect it to happen to me because the odds of it happening are a million to one. But a million to one always leaves one. One." James Hetfield was introduced to the book by his older half brother, David Hale, who was also in a band. In 1971, Johnny Got His Gun was made into a movie that was directed by Trumbo starring Timothy Bottoms and Jason Robards. The video for the song uses images and monologues from that movie. This was the first single released by the band to feature bassist Jason Newsted, who continued playing with Metallica until 2001. You have to listen very carefully to hear his playing, however, since the bass was buried in the mix.

Ive watched all your metal videos..... and @6:05 you have officially become headbangers. From an OG headbanger to two new inductees..... WELCOME!

This reaction was the true pick-me-up i needed!! Thanks guys this is epic!!

This song is based on a book/movie called Johny Got His Gun. The official music video has clips from the movie. It's a story about a soldier that lost all of his limbs and his face to a landmine. As a result he lost his sight, hearing and ability to speak and is kept alive by machines. His only form of communication is banging his head against the pillow in a morse code pattern. In return, someone taps out morse code on his forehead in response. It gets to the point that he just wants to die but has no way to do it himself. So then he taps kill me over and over again. He eventually gives up and refuses to communicate anymore. He just lays there waiting to die.

The singer basically puts himself in the shoes of a soldier who stepped on a landline. That landmine took all of his limbs, his ability to see, speak and hear and in general it took everything from him. This soldier is being kept alive by machines "fed through the tube that sticks in me". And he doesn't want to live "hold my breath as I wish for death" but he can't kill himself - "I cannot live I cannot die, body my holding cell". A prisoner in his own body.

One of the best Metallica tracks, got me one of the best compliments. I went to a metal club and asked the dj to chuck this on, 'finally' he said, 'someone who wants me to play a decent track'! Loved him for that I did ;-)

“Holy my breath as I wish for death” *Pauses* “Ahhhh already I’m thinkin it’s sum bout suicidal thoughts” 🤣🤣

Ya'll listened to a great song and got the point. This is one of those where the video is so much better! It came out during the height of MTV and was notable due to its length and content. Johnny bobbing his head to the beat is epic. Also, 'Keep the home fires burning, while your hearts are yearning!'

I love how your not close minded when It comes to music. That’s so amazing.

I love your reactions and how you try to see what the lyrics mean, most don't do that so I respect you desire to know the meaning of each song you hear and openness to all music and find the good like no auto tune. In older music. Just pure voice where the voice is a instrument. Keep it up!

This song is based on an old movie about WW1, called "Johnny got his gun".

i'm so happy the younger generations is listening to different types of music, not that crap that's on the radio now a days, keep it up guys!!!!!!!!!! Love the reaction!!!!!

I love seeing reactions like this. I still get goose-bumps when I see how others react, especially at about 5 min and 26 seconds into the song. I grew up listening to Metallica every now and then, but didn't appreciate them much until I turned 16 in 1993 and installed a massive stereo system (six 12 inch subs and 16 other speakers) into my vehicle with money I had been saving up for a few years. I don't know what all you guys can hear on your setup, but headphones and a Walkman from the 80's didn't do it for me. It wasn't until I could hear all the ranges of sound on a quality system that I feel in love with Metallica's music. Unless you're listening really close, you can't always hear the bass and drum work on albums before the Metallica Black album. Now days, a good set of headphones will do, but when I heard One for the first time on six 12's, I was instantly converted into a mega-fan. And ever since, I've always been much more into how the music moves me, not necessarily the words. Don't get me wrong, Metallica has some deep messages, but to me, they only need to give you a little taste with the lyrics and then the music tells the rest of the story. When people ask me what kind of music I like the most, I respond with 'Metallica' because to me, they are their own genre. Great job guys! Loved the video!

BEST FIRST TIME REACTION VIDEO EVER !! You guys are the BOMB !!

Fuck yeah! I’m 59 years old and THIS is my music! It just takes you over. But you have to listen to more of their collection…because it does get better. If we, as Americans…come together and not be hostile towards each other…life is BETTER! Love y’all

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls Now that's good shit

That was so much fun! You two keep grindin

I just found you guys and LOVE your reactions to music I've listened to my whole life. PRICELESS! I love how you guys feel the joy and amazement hearing of first class musicians and bands that blow your minds. Chris, your reactions had me LMAOOO.

It’s inspired by the book/movie “Johnny Got His Gun” about a soldier who got blown up in the war. He is kept alive by machines. The video features clips from the movie. It’s one of the best videos ever made, IMO.

"What the fuck?" LOL, love that reaction! I am old so this is the rock music I grew up on. Love to see the cool kids still enjoying it!

Love you guys thanks for checking this one out it’s such a solid tune !

James Hetfield wrote this song after watching a black & white movie about a soldier who was blown apart, no legs, no arms, can't speak, and he's blind and deaf, by a land mine during WWI....he communicates using Morse Code by tapping his forehead on a nurses hand....all he keeps repeating to that nurse is ""kill me, please kill me"....

Phenomenal song that is even better once you understand the story. Based off of a novel that was written in either the late 1930s or early 1940s, the song is of a soldier that had stepped into a land mine that had blown him to bits but miraculously he somehow survived. With no arms, no legs, no face, he is blind, cannot hear, cannot speak, but lives life in severe constant pain. This is why the melodic strings in the beginning of the song have a melancholy feel to it. True artistry this song is in the way builds up to the solo at the end which ends with the man finally succumbing to his wounds.

It's a quite literal song. It's about a soldier who stepped on a landmine being kept alive on life support. He can't tell the doctors that he just wants to die. He can't communicate. He lost his speech, lost his sight, and lost his hearing. He only has his brain to keep him company.

haha you 2 are so cute together during that solo later in the song. i hope to see you do more responses to metal and hard rock. i'm glad you're enjoying it! recently discovered your channel and loving it.

You two need to watch the video to this, it'll make sense. Glad to see your gen is listening to the music of my youth and enjoying it. People say the 70's 80's and 90's had no good music, I guess you two proved them wrong. 👍🍻 Great music videos guys. Keep them coming.

Best One review I've seen. Same type emotions I had when I first heard it when I was younger.

lol that dude just had a realization of something that connected with him

Great reactions! I like how you two examine the lyrics together. Its like you two are on par with each other. Keep up the great work!

Love that you guys are doing this!!

this is the most genuinely awesome reaction ive ever seen.

Metallica "BATTERY" with lyrics!..you will want to punch somebody! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great vid glad you can give to metal. One is the most iconic Metallica song and one of the best. Thanks for the content

🤘😎🤘.. just came across your channel... Subscribed .. thanks for sharing

Pantera - Domination (Official Live)

The look on her face at the end screamed "LETS DO THAT AGAIN!!!

Ohhh mannnn they needed to watch the official video lol this is an amazing son but I love you two and your reactions are great!

Subscribed...love yall..awesome reactions

Watching them get hyped through the build up was amazing cuz me as a long time Metallica fan knows that they're gonna go crazy when it all goes down!

you don't have to do a reaction but do yourselves a favor and watch the official video.

Chills when i hear this song this is my mom fav song shes past . Thank you good one !!

A veteran.....no legs....no arms....no eyes....no voice......a left over of war..............

Y'all are so cute. The ending parts is like reliving a war scene. Notice the drumming sounds like gunshots.

This song is actually isnpired by a very old movie called Johnny got his gun (1971) which I think Metallica actually managed to get the rights for. It's a anti war movie that follows the story of a young soldier that gets severely injured from an explosion. He loses his limbs his jaw and all of his senses except he can feel being touched. The character get's very lost within himslef since he did not loose his concious and thoughts as the medical staff and his authorities have beleived him to. He basically can't tell if he's awake or not (if he's dreaming or what is real). In the end however he finds a way to communicate with a nurse via morse code and head bobbing. The only thing he asks the people who he can communicate with in the end is to end his life. At times a rough movie to watch. The scenes in Metallicas Music Video are also scenes from the movie.

listen to it all. with the story in the beginning the soldier is sad and depressed with his situation but as time goes on it starts to pick up and after the break is when he stops being depressed and starts being angry. lot of emotion to this song

So I’m Black and Puerto Rican my mom introduced me to Led Zepplin and AC/DC she listened to it all, I remember the first time I heard ONE my mind was blown love this fucking song I got made front of so much in school but I stayed true I love all music this shit gets me pumped!!!!!!✊🏾✊🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
