The fact that these three gentlemen clearly understand the message behind this song so vividly is proof that music is a universal language to the human race.
The song is based on a book. They didn't understand the message because it's in a song. They understood the message because war is part of the human experience. Have you read "Johnny Got His Gun"? If not, I suggest you read it and then watch the movie.
Son unos sabios esos hombres.
@@Steppenwolf27 Same thing.
@@Steppenwolf27 an why did they understand this? Cause the song
Try understanding the message of ‘Insect Hoofs On Lassie’ and we’ll see whether that statement is true or not
The old bearded man gave me the chills when he said something along the lines of "the man who wrote and is singing the song is a free man who needs a free country". He def gets it. Respect.
I thought that too. These guys have a whole different level of perception than most of the people in the world. Amazing the the way he understood the song. The host helped lay it out well too.
But something is holding him back...
Abdel Aziz is amazing, the more videos I watch on this channel the more my respect for him grows. He's the schoolteacher we should all have had.
Yes and I believe the man who wrote this song has to remember this someday, hopefully soon, too.
He's such a gentle, perceptive person - this isn't even his kind of music. He still watched to understand it. "Sir, the thing is this man is revolutionary." Wow! Music may be a universal language but his mind caught the message like a trap!
I'm an iranian and i fell in love with music by a caset tape of random tracks by Metallica that i found by accident and That caset was my life . I always dreamed about going to thei live concert but ..... Nevermind they made my life colorful, thought me to speak English and gave my good and bad memories a music to remember by .
Thank you Metallica

This is deeply moving. Greetings from Greece

I can't describe iran community in those days in a comment but we were three friends that were like aliens from another galaxy even to our parents.
Anyone who saw us listening to Metallica, the first thing they asked was why is the singer so angry?😂😂
I thought this was going to be a humorous, culture shock video, and instead I am treated to the wisdom of these Gentlemen and how they perceive what is before them. Absolutely enjoyable watch
I second each word of that!
Some ideas and situations are universal. War and the hell that comes with it is one of those things.
"they wanted to show the speech of a speechless person" - that's... that's the best summary of this song I have ever heard!
I've seen so many reactions to this and most don't get it.
Which is impressive that he got it first try.
I thought the same!
This has been my favorite song for years and even I learnt alot about this by what they had to say! Different cultures I guess
@@nickshepherd4089 he told what the song is about in the beginning. But I guess you skipped that part and went straight to the reaction lol
Please communicate to Mr. Bughio that the fact that he can change between two languages so freely is impressive by itself, but that he cares more about which language his audience wants to hear more shows the quality of his character. Mehrbani.
I'm guessing your american xD

Well said mate
Much respect for these men. Not because they liked and understood the song, but because they did not judge the music they heard. They put some actual thought in what they listened to and seen in the music video.
LOLZ. By all rights and traditions they should have shunned this Western devil music. I wonder if they prepared special prayers for these experiences.
I'm a 50 years old man and I've listening Metallica since the 80s. These 3 gentlemen gave me points of view I've never though by myself and made me discover new insights in this song. What a great video.
I don´t want to be rude. But I think You Did have these feelings for this song all along. Sometimes we need to hear others opinions to understand our own feelings. Either way. Stay proud and enjoy life and the good things you hear, read and see. Peace and prosperity to you and all your loved ones.
I know what you mean, before this video I thought it was just another really good metal song. Now, I see how much depth and thought went into it. Much more than I gave them credit for.
Same here. 52.
“Though the lyrics aren’t there, yet the guitar tells everything.”-brilliant.
"(The singer) is a revolution in himself. A free soul that needs a free country. He doesn't want to be kept in a cage."
This guy just watches 2 minutes of the vid and it's like he has known James his whole life...He is extremely wise to be able to read people like that! Much respect!
So true!!!
I usually don't think reactions go deep, but that comment gave me chills, especially so early into the video. I've never seen someone thoroughly understand the heart of a perfect stranger like that before.
boom!
I really really appreciate the hosts’ understanding of the song, explaining it, and even going as far to explain what a guitar solo is and what it’s intentions are. It’s so awesome to see other people listen and interpret my favorite band
Yeah, this was awesome to watch these fellas feeling and enjoying this song
It is essentially storytelling but with instruments and using a genre of music to portray it.
Right. ...But calling this one of the best guitar solo's ever is a bit of a stretch. To be fair, it's not in the top hundred.
@@lux_moto might be a stretch to you but that’s the power of opinion isn’t it?
@@GuitarsandTrails True.
The thing I love most about these videos, is how incredible the translator is to these gentlemen. He explains things so perfectly and understands what’s going on, such an excellent host!
The 'terp is top notch. I can say that from experience. I've worked with many good ones and a few bad. This guy nails it every time.
"One" is the first song in history to hit #1 without ANY radio play.
Metallica was not played over the radio in those days. The song hit #1 due to amazing fans!
OG Metallica fans
I could best mistaken however I'm pretty sure "one" was the 1st Metallica song to be played on the radio
This video was played frequently on MTV (when MTV actually played Music on Tele-Vision) and that is what l believe caused it’s popularity, as well as Metallica’s popularity in general as they were only know at that point to fans of “heavy metal” music vs fans of MTV who mainly listened to pop music.
It reached #1 in Finland (charted highly in the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, & Sweden as well), peaked at #13 in the UK, & #35 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's highest charting single in America is "Until It Sleeps" at #10.
Prior to and following its release "One" was played regularly in the UK on BBC's Radio One - the biggest and most popular radio station of the time with listeners in the tens of millions - and often IN FULL at 1:00pm during the week, such was the impact of its message and the belief of some of the station's DJ's in that message. This resulted in valuable airplay to a target audience that wouldn't necessarily listen to metal. I recall many times stopping work to listen to it. The track was also featured heavily on the rock shows of Radio One.
11:17: "Sir, you've selected a great song today".
Absolutely right
F yes.
The way you described a guitar solo - the guitarist will try to show his skills and translate the feelings of that song - is a really great way to sum up a guitar solo for someone who has never heard one.
boom!
It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, I always tear up.
When you combine the music with the video, with all of the film clips, it really was a very unlikely hit that one them a Grammy nomination.
When does such an aggressively heavy song about the aftermath of warfare ever do this? I can only think of this one.
It is an excellent song
There are very few songs that make me tear up and this is one of them for sure.another one is hurt when sung by johnny cash
Kirk's angelic guitar solo always brings a tear to my eye
Yeah...the concept is too much to bare.
"He is a revolution in himself, a free soul that needs a free country."
--Abdul Aziz Rind
Put that on a T-shirt! 😂
Revolution is my name!
Have them listen to a band named tool
Have them listen to tool
Listen to tool
This was fantastic. For them to realize the genius of the lyrics and music rather than putting focus on the appearance of the musicians speaks volumes to their wisdom and rational thinking Here in the west propaganda would have us think otherwise about their culture, Thank you for showing otherwise
That's how west wages war. Show the counter culture as barbaric. Demoralize the counter culture, sow divisions in that society and gain consensus within your community. Provoke for a mistake and then attack. Notice any culture in power would do the same.
Lol what propaganda are you talking about?
Brilliant comment!Well put,Scott!😎👊
@@bruderschweigen6889 come on now, the West is indoctrinated to think people who dress like them are ignorant, dont think rationally, are violent etc. This isnt new
@@bruderschweigen6889 the idea they that are savage heathens, whose women will tie our men up and skin them and leave them to die and be eaten in the desert. You know, all the wonderful stories we hear about afghani tribesman, how they beat and keep their women as 2nd class citizens etc…
it brings me to tears to see tribal elders being able to hear the raw meaning in music i've grown up listening to.
"Tribal elders", what are you on about, lol? The youngest one is not even 40yo, and he's high on heroin.
i thought i might be the only one thinking this.
@@damirregoc8111If they can do that caliber of analysis on opium I would kill to see them sober!
@@LeadBurritos28 What analysis? He took a lot of time to explain context to them. Who knows how long- just what we saw here, was already a lot. And then they just repeat what he told them. Did you see the video?
@@damirregoc8111 more likely raw opium
I love how these men are able to think of these songs in a musical level and still understand and expand on the message behind it great work on this
I've tried explaining the "guitar matches the characters state of mind" thing in this song to so many people only to be met with blank stares, and this guy immediately got it. Mad respect 🤘
That is kind of sad that apparently so few people understand this. The goal with any song that tells a story should be for the music to reflect the goings on of the tale itself. Metallica is especially good at this; "Master of Puppets" captures the chaotic "roller coaster ride" that is drug addiction; "The call of Ktulu" and "The Thing That Should Not Be" perfectly encapsulate the eldritch horror of Lovecraft's Great Old One; "Orion" is full of the awe and wonder of faraway worlds; "Dyer's Eve" is filled with the impotent rage of a man unable to confront its source; "To Live is to Die" is a powerful expression of grief...
I could go on, but the point is that that Metallica's music is moving because they use it as a means of communication, rather than just focusing strictly on playing fast, heavy and intricately. Songs like "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Harvester of Sorrow" would not have the same impact if they were sped up, or if their compositions were altered in favor of unnecessary complexity.
I do think, however, that this lack of understanding may explain those that constantly bash Metallica as "bad musicians" because they are not as virtuosic as some other metal bands. In my opinion, constant displays of virtuosity - although they can be impressive - are not only unnecessary in telling a story through music, but can often interfere with the impact of a musical piece. I think Metallica's music has succeeded by finding a balance between virtuosity and impactful storytelling which few bands or musicians will ever achieve.
Crazy , inn it ?
Yeah I tried to explain it to my brother while getting him to listen to Master of Puppets but he didnt get it, I'm happy this man did
Some people just don’t understand that “language” they speak movies or books ect
I think that is some type of Madrigalism.
The man saying James is revolutionary, understanding his feelings and what he was trying to say through the lyrics of this song is amazing…I really wish James would hear his kind and wise words….
they should lisent to fade to black
What a wonderful experience to meet these respectful, wise gentlemen listening to and talking about one of the greatest bands to ever grace us... Massive thanks!!
They held the song inside, but how they held the song from roaring.. slam that head, feel each beat... roar !!!!
Round of applause to the HOST for translating the meaning of the song so well!
🤗❤️🌹
Agreed, the host knew this material better than some college professors know what they're lecturing.
Yes, he nailed it. It's such a deep song and he got all the nuance.
@@TRYBALS an ovation of applause for you. U translated this song so well
@@TRYBALS The 'terp is first-class.
The man with the white headdress understood the music perfectly.
The heaviness (angry emotions) the speed at which they play (panic/anguish) the fast melody (goes back and forth between hope that he will die and the frustration over not dying)
Abdul knows how to play Dambura (traditional Balochi guitar) himself. I think that's the reason he could sense the tunes speaking.
@@TRYBALS we would love to hear him play for us, if he’s willing!
@@JenniferSteil28 yes he is, I must get him a Dambura first though
because hes a musician and is a music freak like me lol
The white head dress man is obsessed with war.
This is an example of how beautiful music can be used to bring different nationalities together and help explain their differences in their cultures. This was the most beautiful reaction video I've ever seen.
I love how interested and involved they became with the story. Heart warming
I have heard that song literally thosands of times but the interviewer distilled the song so succinctly and concisely that he showed he understood it better than I ever did. I appreciate these videos because of how open everyone is to interpretation. Music is the universal language and every human takes something from it and grow from it.
Great video for my favorite metal song of all time. It's amazing how open minded they are compared to Westerners regarding music. Play this song to a lot of Westerners & they'll just call it noise & screaming but these guys, even if it's something they wouldn't listen to again, are so open minded they see the skill & emotions of the story in music. They truly see and hear. And we like to call ourselves "civilized". I'd love to meet some of these guys, sit down & drink some tea or coffee & learn a few things.
Beautifully said
yeah, he's very good, without the analysis he provides the discussion wouldn't really have anything to work off.
The thing you didn't tell them about was that he was actually able to communicate at the end, because his father made him learn Morse code. So by tapping out the letters, he was able to tell the generals S-O-S, ... - - - ... the code for "Help". When they tapped back to ask how?, He thought for awhile and by then was so insane that he wanted to be in a circus freak show, like in his dreams. When the generals said that there's no way they could do that, he just started tapping out "KILL ME", over and over again, even after they all left the room.
One of the nurses tried to do that by clamping the tube in his neck with a hemostat, but she was caught and stopped, and Johnny was put into a dark room to live out the rest of his life as nothing more than a husk with a brain inside.
This still happens today.
Having never read the book, or watched the film, I've always thought that the nurse was successful...interfering with Johnny's breathing tube then performing chest compressions in an effort to show her diligence in saving him and thus conceal her mercy killing. It's true, you learn something new everyday 🤘
Hi Jansen, I did tell them about Morse code and I didn't find it appropriate to include it in the final video due to the length. They already learnt about Morse code during Ylvis reaction video. You can check that out.
Muharam even saw their latest live version afterwards and I do that with him for some songs due to his energy, interest and being open to learn more. That video may be uploaded for the patrons soon.
damn, a husk with a brain inside, that's fucking creepy
Today you can measure brain activity and usually kind of communicate with people in any state of consciousness.
(Depending on the country, of course.)
That said, the book and the movie were less of a criticism directed at the medical profession, but a kind of political and psychological ellegory.
the guy in the red hat was feeling the song deeply thats why his eyes were rolling off, these songs by metallica bring you deep into your own mind
The way these men speak is so wise and refreshing. I wish there were thinkers like this all over the world. It would make the world a much better place. These people are thinkers and leaders, open, honest, smart, and thoughtful. I wish the world would go back to this type of thinker with modern understanding and acceptance. I appreciate you keeping religion out of it and just showed honest opinions of wise thinkers. Thank you for this video.
As an American, I am proud of the boys in Metallica for writing or interpreting such a song that communicates to what seems to be a huge section of the world. Kudos tribesmen and kudos American music
🤘
Lets not go overboard here, without the music video showing the images of the man in the hospital, they'd be clueless. Weirdo.
@@jeremyjames1659 I dunno, some of us are more familiar with music than you... and enjoy reading about it. Also, the ad hominem at the end of your comment is a fine example of 'going overboard'. Hypocrite.
Being American has fuck all to do with it, get your head out your arse.
redneck music*
The gentleman with the silver hat was really into this song, in every way the song intended. The gentleman with the long beard was into the feels for the song as well, and gave great insight into the way the injured man was feeling. Amazing video. Thank you. I love seeing how other cultures react to our music 🤗🥰♥️
He loooves rock I think. I've seen more of theur reactions to different rock songs
Music is universal. It's not "owned" by a certain culture, it always spreads and touches all people, if it is good and true.
I love him
My goodness. You guys really know how to express the lyrics of a song 🎵. That's amazing as I am a lyricist and pay attention to what the song is trying to convey. Loved this..🥰
Its been 23 odd years since I have been listening to Metallica. I have never been moved by someone's experience of their songs as much as your videos. The fact that these folks were able to discover the same emotion, that we in Pakistan are so familiar with, but from the perspective of people from a completely different (and often antagonized in our country) culture, is a testament that music indeed knows no boundaries.
A gem of an effort on your part and your videos are a treat to watch.
This was a brilliant choice for a TRYBALS reaction video. Some things are the same in every language and every culture. The whole gang had excellent insights here, it was like experiencing this powerful song for the first time all over again. This is one of my favorite videos you've all ever done. Thank you TRYBALS.
I just wished Mukhtiar would show more interest or tell me the truth right away. That's all I don't like about this video.
@@TRYBALS I saw in Mukhtiar's eyes a revelation during the main guitar solo. This song changed him. Maybe slightly, only time will tell but it changed him. Peace/JT
@@johnthompson6374 I just want them to be honest like Abdul.
Well said, I remember this video being new.
@@TRYBALS people are who they are. We are complex yet simple.
I never thought Tribal men from a different Country would comment on Metalica in such a way that I would understand the song much better. They get it! They understand the song!
I was thinking the same thing. They described this song with such deep and thoughtful words, that it gave it an even greater meaning for me. What amazing people! ❤
Warriors are the same of heart
This is one of the greatest descriptions of one of my favourite songs of all time.
The way the host breaks it down for them to understand is absolutely perfect..
And they clearly understand.
One of if not the greatest ANTI war song ever..
God bless these guys, they are awesome.🙏🤟
Man that song still give me chills
Muharam, my brother.
You speak from the heart, we do not mind which language you share with us.
You are all loved and appreciated
Muharam would definitely love your comment and your username bro.
@@TRYBALS We are brothers from another mother. 🤟
As a lifelong metallica fan I have never understood how people sleep on this song. The message is heart-rending and universal. I'm so happy the tribal folk had a chance to see and speak about it 🙌
Hell yes! This is by far my favorite Metallica song... it's so brutal in all the right ways.
I don’t think people sleep on this. I consider this an all time classic for all of music, not just rock, metal or Metallica
i mean, it's the ONE (har, har,) song from metallica i still love, and will no matter how much i grow to personally dislike the members of the band.
didn't know it was underrated at all, thought it was popular along with their other songs
Uh bruh, it was literally the song that broke metallica into the mainstream.
I love these 3 gentlemen. They make me realize how connected we all are.
Just seeing how open they are makes me wish we could talk so I could show them more of what western music has to offer... But that's not what's most important, if they are this open towards this type of music it must mean they are very open to music in general. If I had the chance to sit with them, what I would love the most is what they could show me from their world of music.
For me it would be a bridging of the gap between cultures.
Wow, I've been a metal fan my whole life, and I've spent 20 or so years listening to this but I never once took the time to actually interpret the lyrics. I really appreciate videos like these because now with context the lyrics and the music mean so much more. I almost teared up just imagining what "Johnny" must have been going through, the frustration and desperation was eating him alive and all he could do was wish and hope someone would put an end to it for him. What an incredibly fascinating use of the "reaction video" template, I really love this channel
I don't know what "tribe" these men belong to, but they have beautiful hearts. Love this video. Nothing transcends the "human experience," but music can help us to share them. These men's insights & way with words is truly profound. Some of their takeaways were damn near poetic.
I believe these are men in Pakistan (where Urdu is a primary language). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@@Johnnygyro but also different tribes within what is now Pakistan. All with different cultural traditions, different languages and so on. Pakistan the country has only been around since the mid 20th century. from Wikipedia
"The name Pakistan was coined by Choudhry Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan Movement activist, who in January 1933 first published it (originally as "Pakstan") in a pamphlet Now or Never, using it as an acronym.[34] Rahmat Ali explained: "It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands, Indian and Asian, Panjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan." He added that "Pakistan is both a Persian and Urdu word... It means the land of the Paks, the spiritually pure and clean."[35] Etymologists note that پاک pāk, is 'pure' in Persian and Pashto[36] and the Persian suffix ـستان -stan means 'land' or 'place of"
I wish my Dad was still around to watch this video. He was a big Metallica fan back in the day and an E7 in the Navy. He also studied world religions in hope of understanding a unified vision of them later in life. He would have loved to see this. Thanks for the video!
Wow
I'm sure he sees it now.
So cool to see these other cultural men appreciating music across genres and probably understanding the song better than 90% of people who are familiar with it.
Incredible guys! I’m an American who loves metal and am happy to see others,in the other side of the world as well! I have been watching your videos for a couple years and love the honesty and openness of your reactors! God bless you and please continue good sirs! :)
I have been listening to Metallica since middle school. I am 44 years old now. Thank you for sharing the perspectives of these gentlemen as they experience something that has been a tremendous part of my life.
45 here my man and I am with ya! What a time to experience also
Same sentiment here. Since middle school.
54yo here and I loved them from the beginning
These men are with class, I love everything about this!
The culture shock and expressions, the way they all are absorbing this and how real it is! You have an American audience for sure, these guys are great I appreciate the perspective and insight.
"Democracy isn't something tangible that one can describe it perfectly"
Indeed sir, indeed.
Yeah, these guys are impressive indeed…
These gentlemen are very intelligent and so eloquent with their words. I respect them very much. This proves that, although we may come from different places, we are all the same, and should love each other and help each other. Please pass my words along to them. Thank you!
Прекрасная идея снять такое видео. Очень мудрые люди. Музыка универсальный язык. One это шедевр.
It’s cathartic to see a different culture’s appreciation for something I’ve always loved.
I truly believe music can be a unifier in our twisted world. Much love from around the world🫶🏻🫶🏻
100% agree! Music holds the secret, to know it can make you whole. Just like Triumph said, it's not just a game of notes, it's the sounds within your soul.
Oh man, this is such a good song and it's meaning is sadly universal.
Such an incredible song, very cool to see how well there music translates. So many of there songs tell captivating stories of human struggle/victory
This was very interesting watching people from another country understanding and feeling Metallica is just awesome ! ✌️ ☮️
I absolutely LOVE the man in the vest. He is so open & reactive. He seems gentle & thoughtful. His energy is lovely. Not that the other 2 aren’t- but they are more reserved.
He reacted to the tune and spoke wise words as he listened. He is a respected elder for a reason
he's great, he actually reminds me so much of my father in his mannerisms and openness, and my dad is a completely different race and nationality on the other side of the world! 😂
Abdul is incredibly sharp as usual. He nailed his first impression of James Hetfield ! And the song was really hitting him hard, he's got everything right about it, and the transition between the two "parts"...
The explanation of what it means when someone "went into Socrates" was very interesting. I didn't understand what he meant when he first said it, but it's a great descriptor!
I've been on a binge watching these videos since I just discovered your channel and I think my thing will be to add a bit of trivia to my comments.
Fun fact: Not only is the song based on the novel and movie "Johnny Got His Gun" but Metallica actually purchased the rights to the movie so that they could use the clips in the video 😄
What a wonderful job you did with this channel! Its efforts like this that will bring this world towards peace. Examining one's similarity instead of differences.
I'm glad I watched. Look forward to watching more from this channel.
Muharam has an artist soul. Watching him paint for the Bob Ross instructional painting video and watching him move to the music in music reaction videos is beautiful. He has a lovely soul.
I play in a Metallica tribute band and get to play this song live on stage and it's always one of my favorites. It never gets old. It's a powerful song
do you guys upload your covers online anywhere
Where can I watch you guys?
Thank you! This is my first time watching your channel and i love all of your point of views!
I love how each of them focus on the music and the message with no judgement toward the artists performing. Their understanding is so beautiful. I have been watching your videos non-stop for hours now and may I just say all of these tribal people, including the woman who is not present here, have such beautiful hearts and souls. May you all be blessed abundantly with love and health.
I’m beyond impressed how these men captured every meaning of this song.
This demonstrates how music is an universal language. 🖤🔥🤘🔥🙏
As a Brazilian who speaks Portuguese and understands English, thank you for all the content you are putting on the channel. Heavy Metal is worldwide and I am happy to see that it can reach different cultures and countries, making this tribe bigger than never.
“The man who wrote this is a revolutionary; a free soul that needs a free country, doesn’t want to be kept in a cage.”
Wow, that struck me deep. Just the simplicity of his words combined with the profound insight
I like how people from different cultures can have such a high level conversation and share their ideas; this is the opposite side of the spectrum from war itself
Whether Sindhi or Urdu, while I have to rely on the English subtitles, I feel blessed to be able to enjoy the beautiful sounds and the different cultural perspectives you bring.
I remember watching this video for the first time in my literature class after reading the book. It was A way the teacher showed how a story or work of art can be reinterpreted and inspire new creative works of art and expression. She then had us create our own forms of art capturing our take aways from the book. She taught us literature was more than just capturing a story, it was part of a wider world of human expression that is interconnected. She taught me to not just consume the art of others, but find ways to connect to it and draw inspiration from it.
Also, it was nice how he was concerned for little old us lol don't worry about us, man we're good lol
This is the greatest "reaction" video I have ever seen & Ive watched a lot of them. Ive been listening to metal for at least 40 years & watching this video & their reactions to this track was like listening to it again for the first time. Thanks so much for sharing this.
That was very cool. On many levels. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
I absolutely loved seeing this video and how others outside the USA interpret some of our greatest music ever created. I would also like to say that all 3 of these men seemed to completely understand the music via the music itself, and even though we all have different beliefs, we can all agree that we ALL speak the language of feelings, and those feelings can be understood and felt alongside music. I believe the man in the bottom left with the white beard captured and understood the song in the best way that I believe anyone could. You could tell that he has seen loss himself, personally, as he seemed to almost connect to the song almost as if he had lived it. I am thoroughly impressed, this was some awesome content! Thank you so much for putting this together. It helped me to find a basis of connection with my fellow man across the globe, regardless of our daily lives or our beliefs, we connected on a common ground this day, and that is a thing of beauty to see and to feel.
This is perhaps the best “One” reaction I’ve seen. Each of the gentlemen showed such musical empathy and truly understood the entirety of the production. Congratulations and thank you for such a great video.
As as lifelong Metallica fan, I wasn't sure how this was going to go, but that was an awesome reaction! Well done!
I remember hearing this song as a teenager and it hit me like ton of bricks. Other Metallica songs had that same effect on me, but there was something about One that is inexplicable. It's a literal masterpiece and one of the greatest pieces of music, not just metal, ever constructed. It's interesting seeing these old wise men having their own respective experiences.
I was not expecting this reaction. one thing i like about dark musics is that it remembers we that understanding pain is what make humans. metal talks about it. death, war, pain. and the people who are fans that I knew were the most humble, empathetic and kind people I met in life. I believe that songs like these helps us became better human beings
By realising how pain and suffering affects people it makes you only wish for it less, for example just looking at the images for any genocide throughout history makes you never wish such a fate on any person no matter how much you hate them
"Retired from life" LOL 🤣
On a serious note, the interviewer/host did a great job describing the impact of the lyrics, and the elderly one in white turbant also understood it well.
This is quite moving! I find myself wishing the best for these men, feeling a lot of respect for their empathy for something that must seem quite strange. I wish them very good health and many blessings. I appreciate you posting this, and have subscribed. This is powerful.
Very interesting commentary. I've been listening to this song for decades and they opened up depths that I haven't thought of.
Great choice because the moral of the story is understood and shared across cultures and societies. I could see Abdul was moved by the story and he gave us his honest and wise feedback as always. I can tell Abdul has seen and experienced a lot in his life and I always look forward to what he has to say.
"Retired from life." How succinct and prescient. I kinda chuckled, but it's so true. It's a sad song, written from the perspective of someone who LITERALLY has no reason left to live. "They wanted to show the speech of a speechless person". That was so gut-wrenching, so painfully honest and so damned SPOT-ON, it almost brought me to tears.
Really well done! Great production! Thoroughly enjoyed these wonderful people’s reactions
This is the most incredible project I've seen with rock music. Well done.
Knew this song was coming and they did not disappoint. I actually like the editing that allowed the music to change for each of them, just as we all hear or focus a little different than each other. It also shows how the moderator has to change tactics depending on which TRYBAL he is explaining to. I'd swear Abdul understands more when religion isn't involved. He nailed this one, Bravo!! Year after year this songs message continues to touch new souls and bring strangers together. Thank You, brother. Peace/JT
I've listened to and watched a lot of reaction videos, and this is probably one of the coolest ones yet. They immediately got it. They didn't dismiss it because it was loud, they understood that a story was being told and they could feel it, from beginning to end. They didn't even have to understand the lyrics beyond what they were told. That is truly listening and hearing.
This Baloch man has given the most surprising answers to me, and it shows, men ,even though from other cultures, and aged, still have a sort of wisdom inside themselves, which I would call it LIFE EXPERIENCE! To be old doesn't necessarily mean, to be sick and suffer from dementia. This elder man shows, being aged isn't something you should be afraid of! بلوچستان زنده باد!
God bless these tribal people for entertaining Metallica, I just hope the lyrics were subtitled and it was played loud with high quality audio
it brought a tear to my eye, hearing someone who is from a completely different culture, explaining the meaning of one my most favorite songs, better then i have ever heard. Long live Metallica.
The world needs more of this. I have travelled all over the world and it doesn’t matter where I went- the people were great. We are far more alike than we are different. And often it is the difference that brings the most beauty. The Trybals’ videos illustrate this perfectly.
I too, have been all over, met many different people and cultures. As an American I used to wonder if I'd be strongly disliked or strongly admired, something intense. But I've learned I am loved and cared for everywhere, by all regardless of where I'm from. All people are friendly, charitable, inquisitive, everyone wants peace and happiness. With a few extreme cases. If anything they ask how I can happily remain and love a place that says it is free and fair but shows its hypocrisy. I say something like I love my country, the land, the dirt itself. I love what we aspire to be, what we can be, ' conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal'. I don't defend our atrocities, but will defend against outside force even though their grievance may be justified. This is my home and I'll protect it even when it's wrong. That Said, we are all good people, and we care much more, have none of the animosity towards each other that the elite would have us believe in. As I've aged, raised my family, I've lost all fear, anyone is welcome at my table if they ask, and are civil. Nothing truly 'belongs' to me but my word, and my humanity. ( not usually so sappy, but I suppose It's the truth for me)
What a joy this was. I always like listening to other languages with captions. it forces me to pay closer attention to everything. I could listen to these three men for days telling stories and imparting wisdom. and that outro guitar riff has to be one of the best ever!
Your videos are such a beautiful experience. Thank you for your channel.
When I first heard this song as a kid I noticed part of the guitar solo sounded like it was imitating a machine gun. That made the story of the song much more powerful for me.
Their open-minded approach to experiencing and interpreting the music is a beautiful thing to watch.
This was great to see thank you for doing this really!!
I like how the man with the glasses enjoys the song and the melody😁
Love that they get the fact that the heavier music at the end and solo was representative of his added desperation and frustration. They're miles ahead of my father back when this was released.
Wow, this was so emotionally charged, I loved it. These men gave me a new appreciation for this song.
Exactly the same feeling.
I love these videos. I love the insight and thought process of these elders speaking from their wisdom and experience. Beautiful experiences.
The song is based on the book: "Johnny got his gun" written in 1939, that used to be banned in "Free" America, amongst other banned books in "Free" America where they have to remind you every day that you are "Free."
Metallica is a great band to see play live … I was lucky to see them in concert 5 times.
