You gotta do a reaction to the official video of this song. It will give you the complete grasp of how sad it truly is. The song was written based on the movie Johnie's got his gun! The official video has clips and sound bites from the movie and it really complements the song!
A perfect reaction to this Masterpiece and you’re the only reactor I’ve ever wanted to react to this song without the video. Now go watch it with the video and enjoy again.
In the video, they show clips from the movie where you can see the patient struggling and the intensity of the music builds up as his frustration escalates. The rapid fire of the drums are meant to sound like machine gun fire. The chaotic guitar solo is meant to mimic his mind spiraling out of control. What makes Metallica great is that the music itself supports the story.
And Jethro Tull won 🤦♀️ This song's final guitar solo from Kirk Hammett is one of the most satisfying and melodic moments of thrash and hearing him do it live is epic.
Jet hero still didn’t even belong in the category. Trivia question: the fact that Jethro Tull won the first Grammy in The Heavy Metal category was the answer to the very first million dollar question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Need to watch the official video !!! Then you will say this song is better. I love live music, but I feel you should watch the official videos first, the way the artist intended it to be then watch live versions for the comparisons
They were nervous when they started playing because this was a first for metal back in the day but by time they got part way through they just let themselves be themselves.
Pro-tip: If it’s Metallica, the only time you should do a live video is if it’s from the Monsters of Rock show in Moscow in 1991. Otherwise please just stick with the studio/music video.
@@sebastianlindblad2322 I agree, but the problem is that everyone sending him Metallica videos thinks they’re sending him a fire live show link and we end up begging for him to stick with the studio versions.
Being injured not just in war that takes away your body is hell. My grandfather was blown up and he could no longer walk or have more children no help back in 1940
I was just trying to remember Billy Crystal's name to comment on Whoopi Goldberg riding on his & Robin Williams backs to get to where she is today, a bitter harpy on the Spew(View). I just closed that tab before opening this vid and there he is in the opening... Billy Crystal...very strange occurrence.
Is this the one from the music awards ... of it is they were freaked at the beginning ... half the audience walked out ... metal was not popular back then ... it was underground ... the second half the band said fuck it
Metallica must always be viewed/listened in studio, live concert or official video. Never television show content unless focused on metal music. True instrument and sound esthetics distort in those piddly speakers and space. I was worried your reaction comments would reflect the poor quality but your genius saw past that thank you.
Bro you reacted to the absolute worst live version of this song that exists. That grammy performance is legendary for being terrible. You really need to react to the official video if you want the true vibe of this song.
Ok.. so you MUST watch the video. Hearing the song is fine... I didn't see the video for years.. but it was the 90's. The song by itself is not a complete work imo
Great song if u dont know the story behind the song its "Partially based on the 1939 Dalton Trumbo novel, Johnny Got His Gun, One had started as a song James Hetfield had dreamt up, based on the notion of “just being a brain and nothing else,” before Cliff Burnstein suggested he read Trumbo’s book. The story of Joe Bonham, a good-looking, all-American boy encouraged to fight in World War I by his patriotic father, Bonham loses his legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose to a German shell. After coming to terms with his gruesome circumstances in hospital while surrounded by frankly horrified doctors and nurses, Bonham uses the only part of his physical being he is still able to control - his head - to tap out a message in Morse code: ‘Please kill me’. “James got a lot of input from that,” said drummer and co-writer Lars Ulrich."

I found it annoying to enjoy the song with the dialog over the vocals.
The official video is a must
Hearing this song live first is a mistake.
I completely agree with this statement. I think the official video really adds to the song.
The original recirdjng is longer than this one. They shortened it to okay live in The Grammys. Listen to the original
Absolutely agree! I almost turned off the video because of it 😂
@@Gnaritas42 i feel like with metallica especially tho
Official video… don’t bother.
Listen to the album version!
The music video is the best version of this song
A perfect reaction to this Masterpiece and you’re the only reactor I’ve ever wanted to react to this song without the video. Now go watch it with the video and enjoy again.
If you would have seen the official music video, there would be no question as to “One” would be #1 and not “tied” with Enter Sandman
An absolutely beautifully written piece of music.
In the video, they show clips from the movie where you can see the patient struggling and the intensity of the music builds up as his frustration escalates. The rapid fire of the drums are meant to sound like machine gun fire. The chaotic guitar solo is meant to mimic his mind spiraling out of control.

Based on the book and movie "Johnny get your gun".
And Jethro Tull won 🤦♀️
This song's final guitar solo from Kirk Hammett is one of the most satisfying and melodic moments of thrash and hearing him do it live is epic.
Nothing more metal than Jethro Tull...........
Jet hero still didn’t even belong in the category. Trivia question: the fact that Jethro Tull won the first Grammy in The Heavy Metal category was the answer to the very first million dollar question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Jet hero? Really, spell check.
@@NandR The flute is a heavy, metal instrument.
In high school my US History teacher had us watch & dissect this song for the WW1 section. ❤
Need to watch the official video !!! Then you will say this song is better. I love live music, but I feel you should watch the official videos first, the way the artist intended it to be then watch live versions for the comparisons
in 2014 i had a stroke and this song helped me recover
Shortened version, i notice. Probably alloted for time on the Grammys
They were nervous when they started playing because this was a first for metal back in the day but by time they got part way through they just let themselves be themselves.
This was a shorter version aswell. The original is 7mins 40 secs long. Definately watch the original video clip.
8:44 "it's HEAVY"
Ah yeah, that's why it's called HEAVY Metal.
Great reaction, always
Need more Metallica reactions from you!!! They have a new album 72 seasons out now. Would like to to react to Inamorata. 11 min masterpiece
Based on the book and movie- johnnys got his gun. The actual video for the song has pieces of the movie thrown in.
official video is a must
They sample clips and lines from the movie Johnny Got His Gone. It is well worth the time, I highly recommend watching it.
Pro-tip: If it’s Metallica, the only time you should do a live video is if it’s from the Monsters of Rock show in Moscow in 1991. Otherwise please just stick with the studio/music video.
Seattle 89 is another good live show to react to, after having heard the original.
So not true, thay have alot of live content that is fire! Altough... not all shows...
@@sebastianlindblad2322 I agree, but the problem is that everyone sending him Metallica videos thinks they’re sending him a fire live show link and we end up begging for him to stick with the studio versions.

I watched this live when it happened
I was just trying to remember Billy Crystal's name to comment on Whoopi Goldberg riding on his & Robin Williams backs to get to where she is today, a bitter harpy on the Spew(View).
I just closed that tab before opening this vid and there he is in the opening... Billy Crystal...very strange occurrence.
And they lost the heavy metal Grammy to Jethro f'n Tull. The last time I watched that joke awards show
You need to watch the music video.
how do you find the worst videos, this is like one of their worst performances and you choose this one
React to the official music video instead bro
Is this the one from the music awards ... of it is they were freaked at the beginning ... half the audience walked out ... metal was not popular back then ... it was underground ... the second half the band said fuck it
Yeah, not a very good choice. This song, of course, should have been watched in the official video clip.
You picked the shortened version
Should have done the actual video.
You should do there concert in Russia there were a million people there
This version cut alot out. Def check out the album version. It is a masterpiece and way better than enter sandman
The funny thing is, the sound quality from this performance is crap compared to the majority of their stuff. Listen to the video, it's worth it.
Cool 😎 reaction to MetallicA 🤘🎸🤘 One but you should it pick the MetallicA one live Seattle 89
Live performance without the hype of the crowd just feels subpar.
Hmm haven't he reacted to the studio version over a year ago

Always studio first! Everyone knows this
And who won that 1st Grammy for Best Metal Performance? Jethro Tull 🤦♂️🤣🙃 Grammies lol
Bro you reacted to the absolute worst live version of this song that exists. That grammy performance is legendary for being terrible. You really need to react to the official video if you want the true vibe of this song.
You should write some music!!!
This man has reacted to the same songs from Metallica like 5 times
he cant move/ think or hear or see none of us would know if we were alive or dead
Terrible sound quality. Yes, please listen to the original video!
James had great hair then.. lol.. There are many more great Metallica performances to view.. just pick one!! xo
Ok.. so you MUST watch the video.
Hearing the song is fine... I didn't see the video for years.. but it was the 90's. The song by itself is not a complete work imo

Not the best version of this song, but still great.
and Jethro Tull a non heavy metal band won...
You played their absolute worst performance when they were actually nervous. Play live Seattle 89 way better
Without video is better
The studio and other live versions are better. They cut too much out of this song for the grammy's sake
This sounds horrible. You don't get that rasp that James had early in his career. I'll take the studio album 9/10 times.
Worst version of this song for a first listen. Everyone is right. Official Video must be watched.
This live version isn’t the best. The Grammys have the mix set all wrong. Studio version or of one of their shows are much better
Battery
It came out with guys playing left handed. Totally opposite. Shame on you.👎
Total mistake
It's a travesty that you didn't get to react to the video. It's amazing. This is actually one of the worst live versions I've heard.
