The point of the video and song... The man was trapped in unending isolation and loneliness. He could not see, hear, talk, no arms or legs. There was no hope of recovery to any sense of better than he was. He was fed through a tube, hooked to machines that helped keep him alive, as his body wasn't able to really do so without them. He was alone with only his thoughts, unable to even know if he was awake or dreaming. He couldn't hear or see anyone or even talk to them. He was doomed to only know the outside world was there, when the nurse came in and touched him when she was there tend to the machines. Which only makes the isolation and loneliness feel worse. No books, tv, radio, simple conversation with other people, just what thoughts ran through his mind... It is a state of being that will literally drive a person insane. Just being isolated in a small room, while perfectly healthy, will drive people insane. It is a horrible existence, basically a personal hell, worse than death... Endless suffering. At the end of the video, the scene was to show the rest of the world moving on, celebrating a holiday or some other thing, as the man lay alone trapped in his continuing hell.
@@ajayjust2626 I honestly never really listened to the words of that song, or at least let them register in my brain. I should have picked up on that, as it familiar. Been years of listening to the song, but not often am I listening to the video.
lmao no it’s not did you listen at all, it’s about a man blown up from a landmine in world war 1 his limbs are blown off and the medics are helping him
No, they didn't kill your man... unfortunately. He's not coming back, he's short one complete face (the tent and the stitches that were pulled) and part of his brain ("decerebrated individual"), limbs, hearing, anything that would let him even know there's an outside world except the sensation of the skin on his chest. That's according to the book, "Johnny got his gun". The nurse tried to end his personal hell, and was caught. So they shoved him in a dark locked room and beyond basic care, forgot about him. He is the only One in the universe of his own mind. It's absolutely terrifying.
I think you missed this as he said in the song. “Landmine to my sight, arms, legs, speach, soul, and hearing.” Not in the order as he said it but still all six he said. With loosing all that there is no reason to live you can come back to normal living from all that.
This movie scenes are from “Johnny got his gun” which was about a soldier in world war 1 who was blown up by a land mine. This was Metallica’s first music video and basically introduced the mainstream to head banging. I remember being a kid and seeing this video in MTV for the first time!
funny story, metallica wanted to use this movie in their music video but didnt want to have to pay royalties for it so they just bought the rights to the whole movie. They were only in their mid 20s at the time.
@chris gonzalez If you think the movie is disturbing, try reading the book. The imagery in it is more than enough to disabuse anyone of the notion that war is glamorous. The book lays out the horrors of those that survive their wounds long enough to see a hospital.
Okay. This song is based on a book titled Johnny got his Gun. Johnny was the guy in the hospital. He was so far gone that he was only being kept alive by machines. The doctors were keeping him alive to learn about what the hell happened to him. But he was beyond saving. He was supposed to die but they kept him alive as a science experiment. Him moving his head was Morse code for kill me. And he didn’t even know if anyone would see it. He was ready to die because he was stuck in limbo. He didn’t know if he was dead or alive, but he knew that something was wrong and it was literal hell and he wanted out.
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. Story: 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. Based off a book "Johnny got his gun" and later into a movie.
As others have pointed out it's about a man being kept alive against his will. Also the reason why Cliff Button is no longer in the band is he died when their tour bus crashed. Metallica like Iron Maiden,Anthrax, Slayer,Megadeath are some of the old guard of metal who've been around since the 80's. Loving your video's btw reactions/thoughts are great.
I remember when this video first came out.. Metallica had never made a video for MTv prior to this video. It was a point of pride to the hardcore Metallica fans back then that they had resisted 'selling out' to the corporate machine by making a video. When this video dropped they got a ton of hate from the hardcore fans at the time.. but in the end attracted like 10x or more new fans. Personally.. I thought it was cool to have Metallica on MTv at the time.. it was like "Yeah, you punk-ass sissies.. this is what WE listen to! In your face!" Peace
The video shows clips from a movie called "Johnny got his gun". Basically a soldier gets severely injured in World War 1 and is praying for death. He doesn't want to live anymore because he's lost his arms, his legs, his sight, his ears, his nose and his ability to speak. He's trapped in his own mind with nothing but his thoughts. He's basically a prisoner in his own body. IMO one of the greatest solo's ever and an absolute Metal/Hard Rock classic!
There is a reason why Metallica is an iconic band. It would be interesting if you 1st reacted to the studio version then the live performance. I dont think anyone is reacting this way.
Another one who's live performances are as good as or better than the studio version. Check out "Disposable Heroes" live in Mexico City or "Creeping Death " live from Moscow!!!
Here's the thing, the poor guy has had his face, ears, arms and legs all blown off. The doctor believed he was "brain dead". He was mistaken. The scenes and audio from the movie aren't in the album version of the song. The movie can be found here: Johnny Got His Gun - th-cam.com/video/uUfBVLAY_pU/w-d-xo.html
I can honestly say that’s the first time I’ve heard a reactor say he would still rather live, even without arms, legs, sight, hearing, speech, fed through a tube, and kept breathing by a machine
Metallica based this song off of a book called “Johnny Got His Gun”. It is a about a Man who is deaf, has no arms, no legs, and is in a coma. He can not move and can not speak but is awake, is aware of what’s going on around him, and can feel everything happening to him. The book is let alone by itself phenomenal!! It changed the way I look at war and how I look at this world! The book is so good!!!
As they say in the song, my passed away daughter would never feel anything in life, never walk, never speek, never cry, never laught,never feel if shes alive or not herself... Where or when she could be in life, always connected on those machines and those medecines until your last breath... I miss you maggie lebrun-lefebvre ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ....hope your wings feel good on your back now, in peace! 🕊️🕊️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son." "'Democracy' is two wolves, and one sheep...arguing over what's for dinner." I leave the rest to you....
Yes! This is when MTV played music. I remember this video being on all the time. My dad, a Vietnam vet, went out and bought this cassette (yes cassette haha - 80s kid all the way) because this video resonated with him. He ended up having brain surgery because of that war and all the side effects it caused him with Agent Orange etc. so when I see this video, I think of him. RIP dad!
Please keep the 🐐 Metallica reactions coming... 🤩🤘🎸 I'd recommend these Metallica songs, Fade to black, Enter Sandman, Master of puppets, Welcome home sanitarium, The Unforgiven,l Nothing else matters, Wherever I may roam... 🤘🎸🔥
They been together since '79 I believe, yrs of alcohol almost broke up the band many times. They changed a little after the bassist cliff Burton died after a accident involving the whole band while on their tour bus cliff was ejected and ultimately crushed by the bus. That was devastating for them. They went through alot over 40 yrs but this was a huge turning point in their history.
D-Gibby, this is about our current government in my opinion!!! One side will not do anything for the people of our country, while our President is doing everything he can to save our country!!!
metallica is my favorite band :) soooo james hetfield: is the rhythm guitarist & lead singer kirk hammett: is the lead guitarist lars ulrich: is the drummer And in this video Jason Newsted was their bassist at this time, Jason left the band in 2001 but now their bassist is Robert Trujillo since 2003
The song is based off a book/movie called Johnny got his gun (clips in music video.) It's about a soldier who was completely damaged by the war he fought in, taking his arms, legs, sight, and even voice.
Its based on a 1938 anti war novel called Johnny got his gun, its about a soldier that has his arms and legs blown off by a landmine, and loses his sight, speech, and hearing so is basically just trapped inside of his body but cant communicate to let the doctors know he wants to die.
There was a book that inspired the movie these clips are from called Johnny got his gun. About a soldier that goes off to fight in world war 1. He steps on a landmine and loses his arms, legs, face, sight, hearing, voice. Hes trapped in his own body but he still feels pain. He's kept alive by machines. He doesnt know if hes dreaming, awake. He wants to die to end all the pain. He's in his own personal hell but they wont let him die. Imagine that quality of life and ask yourself if you would want to live like that or die.
One of my favourite Metallica songs is pulling teeth (anaesthesia) from kill ‘em all. Shows the amazing talent of cliff burton. Bass solo and drums only. Genius
The public don't understand what its like to come home from war.....weather you are whole or not. 22 a day make it back and end their own struggles. It's something beyond the reach of those who have not been there. 31 years of my life were in the Army and the last 10 were attending funerals that I never should have had to endure. Bless you brothers who see my comment and remember how hard you fought to get home.....you did it for a reason
Guitar- Kirk Hammett Drums- Larse Ulrich Lyrics- Jamed Hetfield Bassist- Jason Newsted, who replaced Cliff Burton after his death in 86' and Rober Trujillo plays bass with them now since 2003 I believe or 02".
This was metalica's first video, for their underground fans it was for them evidence that the band sold out, that's why some hate this song.. But in all fairness its a great song they gave it everything they had.
The most Savage Metallica song... This is magical, dGibby!!! Good choice! FYI they bought the exclusive rights to the movie you see here just to feature it in the video. Movie is called "Johnny got his gun" made back in 1971. In the end, he isn't dead but he's trapped in his body to go insane with his own conciousness. He survived but sadly him living in his own mind slowly rotting away is an injustice when he wants to die and be relieved from the suffering of being concious in a dead body. He is clearly concious asking for help when tapping SOS but they ignore it and just let him rot.
This is one of the best metal songs ever........I've been listening to this song since I was a teenager, and I still have goosebumps so far. What a song mate !!!
The stuff at the end is only in the music video. Most if not all of the footage throughout the video is from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun". Dude get's blown up, loses his arms and legs, as well as his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and can't talk, but is fully aware of what is happening. The song is inspired by that film.
This is a song about the story of a man that was blown up in war. Lost his arms, legs and ability to communicate i.e. eyes, hearing and voice. It's from a movie called "Johnny got his Gun" I believe
This song is a Banger for the first few times you listen it... But, after, you'll listen to this video/movie and absorb the sadness and the emotion of this. And then, you listen to the film with music in background. They're the time you'll understand the complexity of this production .. and emotions take all the place 🌹 Tx for the react, you're the best 👌
Song is about a man that got badly injuried in war....and the background is from a movie back in the 50's about the same thing, the man can move, walk, talk, etc.....
its about a book that was written i believe during ww2 about a ww1 soldier who got hit by a mortar, the book was about anti war and was black listed for a long time and wasn't allowed to be sold, the books called "Johnny got his gun", really confusing read but its a good book
The song and video is based on the novel “Johnny got his gun” that was later turned into a movie. The scenes from the movie are depicted in the music video.
Master of Puppets Then Harvester of Sorrow then Sanitarium then Fade to Black then For whom the Bell tolls then Blackened then Dyers Eve then.... any song is badass.
Anybody realize that Gibby acts the same way in every single metal reacts video? @Alex Hefner will be the only “Hip-hop head” to ever react to metal the right way.
Excellent start into Metallica!! Regardless of what any one individual says they are one of the greatest and more specifically influential Metal (Thrash metal) bands of all time!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and all. Master of Puppets would be a good second hearing before diving into the rest of the vast amount of other excellent songs!! 🤘
Great Metallica Rock song here to react to... Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Eye of The Beholder, Nothing Else Matters, Wherever I May Roam, Harvester of Sorrow and many more to type here...
One of the best things about metal is most of the people have a bit of classical music training. This songs intro is a prime example. I'm 45 and was listening to Metallica from the start. Not all of there albums are great but still show the wide gap in the talent from back in the day to present day. This song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. My personal favorite Metallica song is Welcome Home (Sanitarium) from the Master of Puppets album.
It's not an anti war song in the way some are portraying the song, it's purpose is to shine light on our Veterans and what they go through. It's raising awareness on our Veterans and it's a song made to pay homage as per interviews with the band.
So this song is inspired by the book/film Johnny Got His Gun which is story about a soldier who lost his arms, legs, voice, sight, and hearing in the war. He says he wants to die because he cannot feel anything except pain, but the doctors and the higher ups in the military are forcing him to live by using machines. The footage of the people other than the band is from the film that Metallica had to buy the rights to, to use the footage. They have other songs inspired by stories to like For Whom the Bell Tolls. In the song they say things like, "Land mine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing! Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul! Left me life in hell!" This is describing what horror the protagonist was feeling knowing he no longer has a life anymore. At the end of the video he says how hopeless he is by saying, "If I had arms I could kill myself. If I had legs I could run away. If I had a voice I could keep sone kind of company for myself." It is a dark and tragic story which makes the song that more impactful. There is also a cool thing in the song that you may have not noticed. When the song amps up and the drummer goes nuts on the snare, it's to represent gunfire.
The point of the video and song... The man was trapped in unending isolation and loneliness. He could not see, hear, talk, no arms or legs. There was no hope of recovery to any sense of better than he was. He was fed through a tube, hooked to machines that helped keep him alive, as his body wasn't able to really do so without them.
He was alone with only his thoughts, unable to even know if he was awake or dreaming. He couldn't hear or see anyone or even talk to them. He was doomed to only know the outside world was there, when the nurse came in and touched him when she was there tend to the machines. Which only makes the isolation and loneliness feel worse. No books, tv, radio, simple conversation with other people, just what thoughts ran through his mind...
It is a state of being that will literally drive a person insane. Just being isolated in a small room, while perfectly healthy, will drive people insane.
It is a horrible existence, basically a personal hell, worse than death... Endless suffering.
At the end of the video, the scene was to show the rest of the world moving on, celebrating a holiday or some other thing, as the man lay alone trapped in his continuing hell.
The crowd were singing the traditional song "keep the home fires burning" for the soldiers at war and the missing.
@@ajayjust2626 I honestly never really listened to the words of that song, or at least let them register in my brain. I should have picked up on that, as it familiar. Been years of listening to the song, but not often am I listening to the video.
Incredibly well thought out dissertation. Thank you for putting that in writing.
Dont bother lol
lmao no it’s not did you listen at all, it’s about a man blown up from a landmine in world war 1 his limbs are blown off and the medics are helping him
Metallica has so many good ones to choose from, didn't see anyone mention "Harvester of Sorrow".
Never see anyone mention the thing that should not be either.
@@rayvasquez5467 someone *always* mentions the thing that shood shud shuuujkdfe kfj fjklsjk IA! IA! C'THULU FHTAGN!!!
I swear you guys are just trying to shake this mans positivity lol jk

Cuz Jason wrote it, lol
No, they didn't kill your man... unfortunately. He's not coming back, he's short one complete face (the tent and the stitches that were pulled) and part of his brain ("decerebrated individual"), limbs, hearing, anything that would let him even know there's an outside world except the sensation of the skin on his chest. That's according to the book, "Johnny got his gun".
The nurse tried to end his personal hell, and was caught.
So they shoved him in a dark locked room and beyond basic care, forgot about him. He is the only One in the universe of his own mind.
It's absolutely terrifying.
Worse than dying, he was put away & forgotten...In this case, death is a mercy denied him...
Bruh, you're not "pushing through" if you have no arms, hands, feet, legs, eyes, ability to speak ... That isn't living.
Sabbat Represent.
Watch the movie or read the book, experience is unreal, scary. Johny got his gun. Movie was enough for me.
I think you missed this as he said in the song. “Landmine to my sight, arms, legs, speach, soul, and hearing.” Not in the order as he said it but still all six he said. With loosing all that there is no reason to live you can come back to normal living from all that.
Its not living. Its surviving.
@@xxshatteredmetalxx it's really just as simple as existing at that point

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.

Loving your video's btw reactions/thoughts are great.
Definitely have to hear Master Of Puppets from them. It's one of the most iconic songs in metal
Already threw the thumbs up before it starts. This is one of the best songs of all time
But what if he had hated it?

Whiplash San Diego
React to King Nothing by Metallica...... it's a good one to dedicate to your haters. 😉😂
Heather Nicole "so what" from garage days would be better, lol...
That song is an introspective about James and his alcoholism lol
I'm a big metallica fan this is one of my favos but welcome home sanatarium is also awesome
He is Kirk Hammett bro he is awesome. You must check Unforgiven III’s guitar solo.
kirk hamster
Do metallica fade to black arguably there best song🤘
yeah my personal fav due to my life situation but yeah if i speak for the majority one is the best
One is their best song to me
Here's the thing, the poor guy has had his face, ears, arms and legs all blown off. The doctor believed he was "brain dead". He was mistaken.

There was a book that inspired the movie these clips are from called Johnny got his gun. About a soldier that goes off to fight in world war 1. He steps on a landmine and loses his arms, legs, face, sight, hearing, voice. Hes trapped in his own body but he still feels pain. He's kept alive by machines. He doesnt know if hes dreaming, awake. He wants to die to end all the pain. He's in his own personal hell but they wont let him die. Imagine that quality of life and ask yourself if you would want to live like that or die.
6:54 7:13 LITERALLY a SYMPHONY. Tht will ALWAYS give me chills.
One of my favourite Metallica songs is pulling teeth (anaesthesia) from kill ‘em all.
Shows the amazing talent of cliff burton.
Bass solo and drums only. Genius
Creeping Death, Blackened, and Battery live from Seattle or Moscow are absolute requirements for Metallica.
The public don't understand what its like to come home from war.....weather you are whole or not. 22 a day make it back and end their own struggles. It's something beyond the reach of those who have not been there. 31 years of my life were in the Army and the last 10 were attending funerals that I never should have had to endure. Bless you brothers who see my comment and remember how hard you fought to get home.....you did it for a reason
The greatest American band of all-time and it's not even close
Guitar- Kirk Hammett
Drums- Larse Ulrich
Lyrics- Jamed Hetfield
Bassist- Jason Newsted, who replaced Cliff Burton after his death in 86' and Rober Trujillo plays bass with them now since 2003 I believe or 02".
Great Metallica song I never see anyone mention is The Thing that should not be. Amazing amazing song.
This was metalica's first video, for their underground fans it was for them evidence that the band sold out, that's why some hate this song.. But in all fairness its a great song they gave it everything they had.
The most Savage Metallica song... This is magical, dGibby!!! Good choice!
FYI they bought the exclusive rights to the movie you see here just to feature it in the video. Movie is called "Johnny got his gun" made back in 1971.
In the end, he isn't dead but he's trapped in his body to go insane with his own conciousness. He survived but sadly him living in his own mind slowly rotting away is an injustice when he wants to die and be relieved from the suffering of being concious in a dead body. He is clearly concious asking for help when tapping SOS but they ignore it and just let him rot.
The song was wrote about a really old movie called, Johnny's Got A Gun. That's where the clips come from.
Bulls on parade- Rage against the machine it’s fire 🔥
This is one of the best metal songs ever........I've been listening to this song since I was a teenager, and I still have goosebumps so far. What a song mate !!!
The stuff at the end is only in the music video. Most if not all of the footage throughout the video is from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun". Dude get's blown up, loses his arms and legs, as well as his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and can't talk, but is fully aware of what is happening. The song is inspired by that film.
This is a song about the story of a man that was blown up in war. Lost his arms, legs and ability to communicate i.e. eyes, hearing and voice. It's from a movie called "Johnny got his Gun" I believe
This song is a Banger for the first few times you listen it... But, after, you'll listen to this video/movie and absorb the sadness and the emotion of this. And then, you listen to the film with music in background. They're the time you'll understand the complexity of this production .. and emotions take all the place 🌹 Tx for the react, you're the best 👌
Nothing else matters. Fade to black. Wherever I may roam. The unforgiven 🤘🏼
Song is about a man that got badly injuried in war....and the background is from a movie back in the 50's about the same thing, the man can move, walk, talk, etc.....
This is probably the most positive attitude I've seen towards this song and video.
Love it, Love it...this song is deep...one of Metallica;s best...thanks for the reaction
its about a book that was written i believe during ww2 about a ww1 soldier who got hit by a mortar, the book was about anti war and was black listed for a long time and wasn't allowed to be sold, the books called "Johnny got his gun", really confusing read but its a good book
This song is also based on a book called Johnny Got His Gun that was about a guy who went to war and basically lost everything.
The song and video is based on the novel “Johnny got his gun” that was later turned into a movie. The scenes from the movie are depicted in the music video.
Master of Puppets Then Harvester of Sorrow then Sanitarium then Fade to Black then For whom the Bell tolls then Blackened then Dyers Eve then.... any song is badass.
U should listening to orion... a fkn masterpiece.... grüsse aus good old germany
Anybody realize that Gibby acts the same way in every single metal reacts video? @Alex Hefner will be the only “Hip-hop head” to ever react to metal the right way.
Excellent start into Metallica!! Regardless of what any one individual says they are one of the greatest and more specifically influential Metal (Thrash metal) bands of all time!! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and all.
Master of Puppets would be a good second hearing before diving into the rest of the vast amount of other excellent songs!! 🤘
the unforgiven , harvester of sorrow , nothing else matter , blackened, the god that failed , holier than thou many more man
YES YES YES!!!!!! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! Thank you for this
Gibby getting on the metal scene huh? Im here for it brother! Keep it up!
Great Metallica Rock song here to react to... Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Eye of The Beholder, Nothing Else Matters, Wherever I May Roam, Harvester of Sorrow and many more to type here...
One of the best things about metal is most of the people have a bit of classical music training. This songs intro is a prime example. I'm 45 and was listening to Metallica from the start. Not all of there albums are great but still show the wide gap in the talent from back in the day to present day. This song still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. My personal favorite Metallica song is Welcome Home (Sanitarium) from the Master of Puppets album.
awesome song...helps alot of veterans pump up before heading out....thanks big money...--"Masterchief"
As a die hard Metallica fan this is one of my favorites. It is even better seeing it live.
MetallicA are part of the big 4 witch are the Heavy Metal gods. MetallicA is the best band of all time 🤘🏻
BEST METALLICA SONG EVER, SO MUCH EMOTION AND POWER BEHIND THE LYRICS/SOUND
No doubt one of the hardest hitting songs out there. If you think things are bad for you just imagine for a second being in that soldier's situation.
This song is based of a book and movie called Johnny Got His Gun. If you’re a reader, I do suggest it.
One of my favs is Wherever I May Roam. 👊🇺🇸😎♥️
It's not an anti war song in the way some are portraying the song, it's purpose is to shine light on our Veterans and what they go through. It's raising awareness on our Veterans and it's a song made to pay homage as per interviews with the band.
SOS is save our ship as it originated for sailors
So this song is inspired by the book/film Johnny Got His Gun which is story about a soldier who lost his arms, legs, voice, sight, and hearing in the war. He says he wants to die because he cannot feel anything except pain, but the doctors and the higher ups in the military are forcing him to live by using machines. The footage of the people other than the band is from the film that Metallica had to buy the rights to, to use the footage. They have other songs inspired by stories to like For Whom the Bell Tolls. In the song they say things like, "Land mine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing! Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul! Left me life in hell!" This is describing what horror the protagonist was feeling knowing he no longer has a life anymore. At the end of the video he says how hopeless he is by saying, "If I had arms I could kill myself. If I had legs I could run away. If I had a voice I could keep sone kind of company for myself." It is a dark and tragic story which makes the song that more impactful. There is also a cool thing in the song that you may have not noticed. When the song amps up and the drummer goes nuts on the snare, it's to represent gunfire.
Yo check out "King Nothing or My Friend of Misery" by Metallica you won't regret it 💯 🤘 #GibbyGang
My friend of misery
King Nothing
Yes sir one of the best of all time...
Respect. Your verve of life IS life. But yeah, this gentleman, causality of war, passed away in the story.
Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
