Opera Singer Reacts To Metallica ONE | Tea Time With Jules 

It's supposed to make you nauseous, or at least uncomfortable. It is one the most brutal anti-war stories. This is also how the book and movie end: he just lies there repeating the same thing in his head over and over again "SOS... Kill me..." The scenes in color are only in his mind; mixed memories and delusions. He doesn't know where he is, or what is happening. The chanting at the end is "Keep the home fires burning (till the boys come home)"; a piece of war propaganda from WW1.

It's an anti-war movie called "Johnny got his gun".

The movie is Johnny got his gun. Its about a man who fights I. World war one and is injured in a explosion. He has no arms, no legs, his eyes and face are mostly destroyed. . the only thing keeping him alive is machines forcing air into his lungs and food into his stomach. The man is trapped I. His fear for the rest of his life. The film and this song are both based I. A novella by Dalton trumbo, one of Americas greatest authors, screenwriter and journalists. The lead singer James had been introduced to the book and film by his older brother and it effected him so much that he wrote this song.

Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The message it conveys in just a few minutes is very powerful.

The difference is "I've heard this song", Now I'm Listening t this Song!!!

Fun fact : This was the first "oficial video"ever made by Metallica just after release 3 albums previously and because of that they did started to get more recognized as " thrash metal band genre"

This is 1 of their many masterpieces... Metallica FAN4LIFE🤘🏽😎... definitely check out THE DAY THAT NEVER COMES by these Icons

It is about being utterly alone. Being simply one.

It's based on the book and later movie from the 1930's or 1940's Johnny Got His Gun. About a man who joins the Army to fight in WW1. He loses his gf and then through a mine loses his face, sight,smell,taste,hearing,voice, arms and legs.

It’s horrifying. It’s a masterpiece. I love it. It’s such an intense and intimate experience. All these years later it’s still amazing!

No need to be sorry. It takes several viewings to sort out the message between the lyrics and the visuals. It's a lot to take in the first time. You're not alone in that regard. :) Btw: Metallica bought the rights to the movie "Jonny got a gun" ensuring the video not to get copyrighted (or so i understand it). I love to watch you on your "metal journey", to see you discover all the great bands out there. Greetings from Sweden. 💜

I do suggest watching the movie - perhaps as a stream so you can not be alone. Metallica wound up buying the rights to the movie because they were paying so much in royalties for showing movie clips live.

It kinda reminds me of what it must be like being in a coma with mangled body. My sister in law was in an accident and in a coma for a year, when she woke up/came out of the coma, she said she was aware and could hear everything but was not able to do anything. She to had mentioned that she wanted to die rather than live the rest of her life like that. Thank goodness she came out of it.

The scenes in this video are from the 1970's movie, "Johnny Got His Gun" and the associated book. Johnny was a soldier in World War One. He is caught in an explosion that leaves him with no arms, no legs, no face, no ears. He cannot speak, hear, or see - has no sense of time or where he is, and is fed through a tube and breathing through a respirator. I have always interpreted the cut scenes within the song as what is happening to Johnny in the real world. The moments of the song where Johnny is "thinking out loud" are his conscious mind, and James Hetfields voice is his subconscious mind. This was triggered - for me - by Johnny's line, "I don't know if I'm alive and dreaming, or dead and remembering?" From that point on, the music builds and builds, which - again, to me - signaled the growing conflict between the two sides of Johnny's mind as he dips further and further into insanity. By the time Kirk Hammett's guitar solo hits, (and hits hard), I've always pictured that as the final "battle" between Johnny's conscious and subconscious mind, with the final "S.O.S. Help me..." mantra at the conclusion signifying that Johnny's mind is the same as his body, reduced to "one" singular, autonomic thought. Nothing else of him remains from that point forward. Johnny has gone, and only the breathing corpse remains until he would die of old age. At the end, the crowd singing "Keep the Home Fires Burning" symbolizes how society went on and forgot about him, (and the veterans in general). If you listen to this song from that perspective, you will be bawling by the end.

The scenes showed in the video are from the movie "Johnny got a gun".

The video version that you are listening to links the lyrics to the theme of the song. I got to watch this video when it was released to programming in Canada. It impessed me then, and still does every time that I hear it. Near the end of the video, you dee Lars wearing the legenday 4 faces T-shirt

I can imagine this video stood out in the usual pastel colored pop flare of 1980s Music Television, back when MTV still was mostly about music videos. Metallica's first music video ever, and metal music was not really considered to be taken seriously by many at the time. This video must have delivered several points home.

Thanks for your perspective, consider Queensryche’s “Take Hold of The Flame” live in Tokyo ✌🏼

I wonder when Jules will eventually reach Sabaton's Soldier of Heaven, with the "Sabaton History" part of it.

in2016 i had a stroke helped me re cover

Movie is Johnny Got His Gun

Go for more Metallica, especially instrumental Call of Ktulu!

This is Metallica's first music video in a music commercial from the previous three albums which there were no video clips from the previous three albums and this song was the top clip on MTV at that time.

Here in Ukraine this hits the nerve, art describes everyday routine reality, unfortunately, but that's the price to protect democracy and freedom

Falling in reverse I’m not a vampire (revamped)

The chaplain's scene had more to say in the movie. He said he would pray for the soldier every night for the rest of his life, but he would not speak to him so to avoid giving him false hope.

SUPER REACT GREETINGS FROM POLAND !!!

Based on one of the most depressing books I’ve ever read. He didn’t even know if he was awake or sleeping. He lived in silence darkness.

This song came out 3 years after my Mom was rendered comatose after a botched brain tumor removal surgery. She lived in that coma for over 15 years... I embraced the melancholy beauty of this song through that recognition, and respect how the lyrics describe what I pray she never had the capacity to think. I was also 13, and it was metal, so my dad hated it and found it too depressing. Of course its depressing...its not a happy subject! To my ears, it was theraputic. And it was the second song i learned on guitar through that new musical notation called TABs!

This album is my favorite album of all time. I can listen to every single song, as the album is just a masterpiece. I had to burn 3 copies of And Justice for All, bc I wore my first two out in high school lol

My mistake it's called Johnny's got a gun movie 1971

“He’s a product of your profession, not mine”

I've loved Metallica for years another classic is Master Of Puppets! Great reaction video!

_Johnny Got His Gun_ is an amazing movie. really forces you to think , and also one of those movies that makes a permanent mark on your soul. makes my top-5 list of "soul-crusher" movies.

Great song. I also like Rodrigo and Gabriela's version, they play it with spanish guitars.

The book on which the black and white movie was based was the novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo about WW1. It was one of three books banned during WW2. The other two were enemy propaganda. It was an ironic reference to the popular recruiting slogan Johnny Get Your Gun. Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted and destroyed for being defeatist and anti-American. He wasn’t; just realistic.

It’s a beautiful song juxtaposed with a horrifying topic and the result is haunting and beautiful.

It's a very deep song. It's about a movie called Johnny Got His Gun about WW1.

Subbed.

You should watch "Johnny Got His Gun", what the song is based on. It's very interesting, for even how it's put together. You might recognize one person in it, at least. The guy that plays the dad is in "Parenthood", with Steve Martin. And Donald Sutherland, who plays "President Snow in "The Hunger Games " is in it. The song is great, musically and lyrically.

Based on the book, Johnny Got His Gun. Its a harrowing read. Essentially about a man's descent into personal hell, after being injured fighting in WW1, losing his arms, legs, sight, speech and hearing - leaving him trapped inside his own mind. The author, Dalton Trumbo, was blacklisted under Macarthy.

"Johnny, Get Your Gun" is what the movie's called.

I would love to see your reaction to Puscifer's Momma Sed. The live version in the studio is 🔥. Puscifer, is one of the projects from the band Tool. They also have the best rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody you've ever heard. Goofy video but the vocals are magnificent.

It's a anti-war protest song designed to make you feel the reality of war beaten into your mind over and over. This was the first metal song that made me cry back when I was 13 or so. I felt such empathy for the soldier when I read the lyrics and the message clicked into place I broke down and cried while listening over and over.

The scenes are from the film:"Johnny got his gun".

Certainly not a silly horror movie! As one who has been there war is just plain horror and moments of the most intense fear. The fate of this soldier is one that any soldier of any side would gladly trade for death. I have seen wounded very close to the condition of this poor man and it is something you put out of your mind, but later you can't make it go away. This song is a masterpiece at pushing that horror on those lucky enough to never be there. Without this war becomes too easy to engage in.

Opera singer....you got to listen to this guy, Kamijo. Band Versailles Song Faith and Decision live, the first part is instrumental the second has the singing comes in about half way through.

Tea Time quickly switched to Whiskey Time.

You should react to Jinjer "Pisces" or "I Speak Astronomy"

GOAT

Like how many have already said, is based on a movie and a book called Johnny Got His Gun.

Love your hairstyle and dress!

Now try it with headphones. That said, war IS horror. Pasion has often been misjudged in this heavy metal world. Peace/JT

Hi..next would you react to steel heart " she's gone " , thankyou really love your channel🎉

Read the book, "Johnny Got His Gun." By Dalton Trombo.

The guy is a WW1vet who stepped on a landmine losing his arms his legs his sight & voice so he can't tell if he's alive turn off & dreaming or or dead

It was a statement. I heard it in 89...and knew we were going to war.

Listening a song without knowing the lyrics, is like seeing a movie until the middle of it, makes 0% sense...

U have to listen to king diamond sleepless night

Eagle Fly Free-Helloween (studio version) it will change your life.

I guess it would be a horror film for the guy who lived it. The man it’s telling a story about was a WW1 soldier who stepped on a landmine, lost his arms, legs, sight, hearing, and voice. Talk about being trapped inside your own body. For me that would be worst than any horror film.

The movie is based on a book called Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo(sidenote - Bryan Cransten played him a movie called Trumbo). I feel like its about medical ethics as much as it is about war. 🤷‍♂️

The movie was based on a novel. Metallica bought the rights to the movie so they could use the clips in their video.

Some ppl have this a bit wrong. Metallica had an idea for guy who gets blown up and had a their producer, Bob Rock knew of a book (Johnny got his gun) and told them about it. The book is frequently banned because the author Dalton Trumbo was a communist. The book became a movie but was not highly regarded. It was cheaper for Metallica to buy the movie than to buy the clips they wanted.

My favorite breakup song.

I'd say no need to apologize, it's a lot to take in the first time; anyone who does complain probably just doesn't realize what a "head start" they have (i.e. how hard it is to remember one's own first time with this video)

O suggest listen to Dan Vasc NESSEU DORMA OR PHATAM OF THE OPERA,Dan Vasc is a Metal singer ans sings everything from Metal to Opera,You wont be disappointed.

I think the video and the movie clips are intended to make it more visceral to you what it's all about. That, and probably the fact that it would run better on MTV back when that was actually music television, if there were something to keep us kids engaged for a song this long and with this many parts without words. Very basically put. The song itself is so much more beautiful and enjoyable without the movie clips. Both the soft intro and the hard second half of the song. At the same time they wanted to make it obvious what it was about. I would have personally chosen to use relevant war footage or clips from the movie without sound, so that you get the picture (literally) and still get the full experience of the song itself.

4th album, 1st Music video ever

If you wish to react to an artist you might not have heard of, I would say the artist Aesthetic Perfection with the song Mourning Doves

Did you see the reaction me and my best friend Danny did to your jinjer video?

It is based on a movie called Janie's got a gun watch the movie and then watch the video and everybody will understand it now took me a long time to figure out myself can we listen to the song you don't understand it better

The song is based on movie Johnny Got His Gun which in turn is based on book of same name. The story itself is fictional, but based on couple of true stories from WW1. There were men so badly disfigured they were closed to back rooms of hospitals so no one would see them and in some cases their families were told they were dead, because it was thought to be more merciful for the family. It certainly was not merficul for those young men who'd spend who knows how many years isolated and alone, with not enough body left to actually live. As such the book was so powerfully anti-war it was one of the few books that we're not outright propaganda that were banned for soldiers to read during World War 2.

Gotta react to the band Tool song The Pot Tool is the best band in the world known for having odd time signatures and longer songs

does she live in a happy bubble

If you want to react to something a little lighter then please react to Saltatio Mortis x Blind Guardian - Finsterwacht. Full epic song and video with a fantasy theme.

IMO, you should listen to the song's studio version before the "music video." It's a bit more hard to follow with the video's voice over, with no context.

This music is meant to invite you to the reality of life and death . You know real .

The movie was about how terrible the VA and health care was in overall back then lol. No for real, though this is my take on the the video and movie. It’s about horror of war no matter what political ideology you personally believe in or what your country’s political system . I believe also saying as long as you’re fighting on the side of Democracy war is. It only okay but always acceptable and a privilege. Also I believe the movie touches on are how civilians lack empathy and basic respect for the soldiers while their abroad or upon returning wounded . Weather, soldiers return with physical scars or mental scars.

There’s no happy bits to this song,you have to ride it,heavy anti war message

"I feel sick".... that happens when a band fluent in the language of emotion makes a serious anti-war message.

You should listen to Pink Floyd if you haven’t already

Wait - metal with a serious and hard hitting message?! Who'da thunk it...

Who listens to any song, but doesn't pay attention to the lyrics at all? Turning point for you, hopefully. Stick to lyric videos and then expand to official videos and then live performances. Welcome to Metallica!

okay... guess this is a channel I will not return to... completely clueless about the horrors of an actual war.

Metallica bought the rights to that movie (johnny got his gun) when they used it so they would never have to pay royalties on it

Thanks for your reaction. It was well done, with a strong anti-war message. Metallica did these kind of songs with messages since long ago. You also have Master of puppets who is an anti-drug song, 3 versions of it: the lyrics version to understasnd what they're talking about, the original video (as much disturbing as One): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xVR4bkyMykA.html (not for kids), and the live version (here's my favorite, because I was in that crazy crowd somewhere): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2f1Ny74_ou0.html feel free to explore any or all of them. Have a nice day.

Her reaction pissed me off

Blind reactions are tricky, you should Google some information previously in order to get the context of the video.

This is a good song to weed out reaction videos by seeing if they are paying attention or getting the point...smh on this one.

the options to democracy are -> anarchism , absolutist monarchy, communist dictatorship, rightwing dictatorship, tribalism, please choose ONE!!!

Metallica bought the rights so they could use the movie.

Use headphone speaker girl next time better

Obvious point totally missed.

Anti war song

You have no clue

I will never understand people not listening to lyrics thats in there own language!I taught english to myself by using a dictionary at the age of 12 when I discovered Metal,because I wanted to know whats it about.Sorry,but honestly,how ignorant can someone be to just not realizing whats the meaning of a song.Now you listened again,but at the end you still don't know?Girl...!How much more hints do you need to understand that it's not a creepy horrorr story,it is a anti war song for god's sake!!!

Fake, there are no attractive opera singers

Johnny got his gun its a good movie its bout a soldier who got wounded during war

It’s not a movie it’s a documentary of war.
