MY DAUGHTER FIRST LISTEN to Metallica | One (Official Video) | FAM REACTION 🔥🤘🔥 (Sketch Therapy) 

The story is even worse than you thought. Imagine being blind, deaf, mute and not being able to feel feelings. He's experiencing sensory deprivation on an extreme scale. That kind of thing can make someone go insane fast. He has absolutely no connection to the world outside his mind. And now he's doomed to that life. Stuck with only his thoughts for the rest of his unnatural life. Imagine the horror, trapped within yourself, unable to determine weather you are awake or asleep, thinking or dreaming. It's 100× worse than being buried alive. It's probably the closest thing you can get to a literal living hell.

Lars on his tombstone: I got the job done

People just Hate on Lars due to the Napster thing. He is killing it on the drums. Haters be gone. 😊

I wish my dad had spent a fraction of the time with me that your dad spends with you. You have no idea how lucky you are.

I love that you and your daughter are doing these together. I hope you guys stay safe and one love

The song was based off the story/movie "Johnny Got His Gun" - Story: Joe Bonham, a young American soldier serving in World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding artillery shell. 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. Joe later attempts suicide by suffocation, but finds that he has had a tracheotomy that he can neither remove nor control. At first Joe wishes to die, but he later decides that he desires to be placed in a glass box and toured around the country in order to show others the true horrors of war. Joe successfully communicates these desires with military officials after months and months of banging his head on his pillow in Morse code. However, he realizes that the military will not grant his wishes, as it is "against regulations". It is implied that he will live the rest of his natural life in his condition. As Joe drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and girlfriend, and reflects upon the myths and realities of war. The Lyrics: I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell 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

Does Lars do the most amazing drumming, no. Does he have his own style and sound that fits Metallica like a glove, yes. On top of that he wrote A LOT of their music.

I've never been so impressed by someones skill at playing the foam finger.

You are a really good father . It’s so awesome seeing a father so close to his children . You can see how well you and your wife raised them . Our society is suffering because of the family breakdown. I honestly believe you and your channel are making a really positive impact on a lot of people .

Your daughter gave you the "dad, stop acting like an ass, I'm trying to listen to this look." And it was AWESOME! 🤣 Props to her for trying to actually listen to the song!

Lars is one of the best ever, idc what anyone says, and I love watching you, and ur daughter's natural reaction to all of these songs that I have loved for 30 + yrs to see you guys start to love that which I have loved my whole life is awesome!!!

"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" This is about a man who fought in war, lost all his limbs, sight, hearing and speech, cant talk or articulate his feelings, he cant move. He is just stuck inside his mind with his feelings. In this video his talking is just his thoughts inside his mind

At 9:25 when Hammett is going sick and her eyes light up.. priceless 😁😁.. and she goes.."WOW"

9:26 - When a new Metallica fan was born.

To your daughter: "look, we are in a way sorry we got him on this shit because now you have to deal. But he's on a journey."

Real quick, the subject matter of the song (and clips) come from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun," which was first a book. It's a brutal story, of a young soldier who's had his face and limbs blown off and is being kept alive (but assumed to be unaware) in a hospital. He drifts between memories and hopes he had before, and the terror of being utterly helpless and no one knowing he's there. He finally has a nurse who seems to be trying to interact with him, and he realizes he can communicate at last by tapping his head in Morse code on the pillow. She brings military people who have a conversation with him through Morse, where they ask him what he wants. He thinks for a moment and asks to be put in a freak show, as a useful lesson to the world on the horrors of war. The military people decide to permanently sedate him instead. It's a truly masterful work, and will haunt your life once you've read it.

The video cuts are from the movie Jonny’s got his gun

The thing with Lars is two-fold... he gets shit for some of his live performances, but he also gets a lot of hate for his attitude over things like the Napster war and things like that. People go overboard. He's clearly not the top drummer on the kicks and snares, but he does everything you need and does it well enough, and knows how to arrange a song exactly how it should be. Some of the hate he's brought on himself, but people need to back up to a rational level. He doesn't suck, and you'd be fortunate to have him in your band. And there are moments in the studio recordings that he shines in ways that even the best drummers don't in the studio. Minus St Anger... I don't know why he was playing garbage lids on that one, but that was fuckin trash.

OMG Awsome, love the smile on her face, Lars is ok, he shouldn’t be fired 🤣

Lars defines a drum style no one else has done. F that. He is a legend.

he doesnt suck. people hate him because he helped shutdown napster and was very against sharing music.

I had the exact same reaction it happens to almost everyone but the second time you feel the lyrics more cause you know what it's about. Thank you very much for the review. I also caught on to a lot more the second time.

It's all about the music. The lyrics/vocals are just 1 part of the music. With out words, this song is still amazing.

This is my first time watching you and you are a trip! Thanks for keeping things light and entertaining, keep up the good work!

You guys are awesome, bringing so much positivity to the internet. Great work, keep it up! (also you've nothing to apologize for regarding comprehending the videos etc, takes most of us many multiples of listens to figure out what the hell is going on, don't worry!)

It is so cool that you are an open-minded, free thinker. It's cooler that you are taking your young daughter with you on this journey

You’s all awesome. Keep on keeping on.

Love this. You two!

When your daughter said "he gets the job done" 🤣

Korn does a cover of this from the mtv icon tribute to Metallica..its epic in its own Jonathan davis vibe..check it out

You guys are both great, really enjoyed both of your reactions, and I have seen just about everyone of the other REACTORS to this song!

Love yall!!! I love that you both a free thinkers!! God bless yall and hope yall are safe. Much love from my family to yours!

They hate Lars because Metallica went after Napster first. And Lars lead the way. One of the best drummers of all time.

Your daughter totally called it when it comes to Lars.

I love these reaction video but even better you’ve brought the family into it. You’ve exposed the entire family the the incredible variety of musical expression that exists today. Very open minded! Keep it up

She's right with "he's just getting the job done". No fancy fills, no impressive groove, nothing extra. But it works. Metallica is the masters of transitions and making metal non metal heads can enjoy.

That child needs to react to Danny Carey drum cam... Don't deny your child that experience

Lars does not suck. He can sometimes be lazy life. People just like to hate on him because he’s in the biggest metal band on the planet. His drumming On master of puppets and the and justice for all albums is phenomenal. In the 80’s he was ahead of his time along with Dave Lombardo

I forgot how great this video was, thanks for posting this

You are so blessed! Great genes! really enjoy you.

Lars’s hate comes from him nowadays live. He can be a bit off when he is drumming and puts in unnecessary fills during live performances for no reason. He as you said, if you look at other metal drummers, he is not as good. Still great writer and music genius. Metallica wouldn’t be where they are now without him. And remember, most of the things you have reacted to is the recordings

Oof. Rough one. Great reaction. That’s for explaining for stuff, dad. Sad song, tho. The General: Don’t you have some message for him, Padre? The Priest: He’s a product of your profession. Not mine. Wow. Also, the line where is he dying trying to speak to his dad, and his dad says, “Each man faces death by himself, alone.”

Don't sweat it, young lady, it's a lot to take in. Crazy story, and extraordinary musicians... takes a few times to take it all in.

Awesome to see you involve your kids. Open minds up to all sides makes a better person.

Lars was a good drummer for the time. He just forgot to practice.

Anyone who thinks Lars "sucks" has never heard songs like Hit the Lights, and they are steering you wrong.

I love that you get the message.

What a kick ass young lady!!! You guys have a great relationship, it is beautiful to see :) God Bless

Hey Dad, turn on to a kick butt One armed Drummer from Def Leopard “Pour some sugar on me”. ..... sugar honey iced tea Ha

i like ulrich as a drummer, but not so much as a person.

"you couldn't wait for five more seconds to see what was going on?" The difference between kids now and yesterday, and the difference between riots now and yesterday. Awesome.

In the movie Johnny Got His Gun, the color scenes were dreams and memories, the real world stuff was black and white.

You’ve got beautiful children Van. They are bright, discerning, and seem to have great heads on their shoulders. It’s very cool that you’ve brought them in to open their musical minds. Blessings on you and your family bro.

You Really have an Awesome Dad, and you Really have an Awesome Daughter! Just love how you are as a genuine person/person's... Love your car test reactions while at work and love when you involve your family in with it. Keep doing the good work on your reactions and how you actually delve deep into the lyrics of songs you react to! Much Love and Support from your recently new Fan & Subscriber, Stay Safe... Stay Healthy and most importantly Stay Trueeee Jack, I actually Hit That Thang Jaaaack on every video! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💙

Like father like daughter. You sir are awesome. Doing what my parents did with me. Introducing us to music of all types. So glad I had that.

Good job switching music genres. Showing your daughter good music awesome! 💪 💯

I started getting shout outs on my video from this, pretty cool. I support The LFR cause they cool peoples but I'm loving the added bonuses lol. Bless you, all of you & once again thanks for the review.

You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing.

Van. your headbanging reaction was classic. As someone who remembers when this was new I like seeing people of generations after mine get into the kind of music I grew up on.

Love what you are doing here with the family! I will be doing with with my kids when they are older. Exposure to all genre of music. This song is fire 🔥

Absolutely love these family reactions

Gotta agree with YOU brother Van your right the drummer is lit 🔥 bro 👍👍

Love that u are very versatile!

Awesome reaction you have an amazing family bro

My favorite Metallica song thanks for the cool reaction ❤️

The last seconds of this music video I think are the best part. Everyone is all normal, carrying on at church no cares in the world, and there the soldier sits, all alone, no interaction. Simply existing. Sad shit.

You can tell everything you need to know about a man by the way he treats his kids. 💯

Great reaction! 😊

Good reaction channel .. god bless you both .. stay up and stay yourselves

Right now... A million people have a "reaction" channel. TY for covering this genre!

You don't need the best musicians to make the best band. It's the chemistry between them that produces hits, and persistence and consistency that makes them great.

Your daughter gets it. She is on point with the music and composition of it all

Love the content. You guys are dope period

How have I not seen these Metallica reations!????! U guys rock 🤘

It is the difference between listening to music, and actually hearing music. Its a cool perspective you guys give :)

The music is the sugar that makes the message go down

You guys make it fun. Subscribed.

I'm super late but this song was written by Lars after he read a book about a quadruple amputee from ww2 who was blown up by a landmine. It deeply affected lars. I would relisten to the solo. The line is lane mines have taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing, taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul. It's so deep and my favorite songs period

they all dope... especially the bass player... out of this world

I really enjoy music reaction videos because I like to see people experience things I love for the first time. you guys are the most genuine first time reactors (specifically the kids) that I have ever seen. Im only 27 but my musical taste is very 80's/90's and I love seeing you show your kids the old hits that I grew up with.

Thats the best foam finger playing I've ever seen. Shred on man 🤟

one of the GOAT bands!.. Great!

This song is based off of the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" its about a solider from WWI who lost his arms, legs, sight, hearing, speech, he is basically arm less and legless and can not talk to ask for help.

new sub, loving that you share all types of music and the bond in you family.

First your son.now your daughter.i am so in the rabbit hole on this channel.you a nd your family are awesome bro!

This is a great reaction ...SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!

I really like how when you're on your second listen you can explain to her... helps her first listen... cool concept... you're a pioneer :) inventing new genres 'n stuff... :)

Over 30 years old and it’s still so badass. Masterpiece. Probably should check out more from them. Fade to Black is an awesome song.

One of my favorites of all time. Love Metallica

You've raised your kids well, sir! kudos Great song selection, too :-)

I love all the rock music you guys are reacting to!! Some of the greatest songs ever!! I personally listen to a lot of the rock songs your have reacted to lol
