Ryan Hampson every time i watch someone react to this song, i think that same thing... just wait and when they freak out when the solo hits and the drums, i get excited just like i'm hearing it the first time all over again 🤘🏼🤘🏼
My first reaction as a kid was "WTF did I just watch"!? Then I heart it a second time, and as you said... few minutes I was in awe! never seen or heard anything like that. My fav. of Metallica.
I was waiting for this. This song shaped my view of the human consequences of war. Metallica changed me with this song. Not only by giving me a different perspective on war but on music as well. Long live One.
On the break down of the song, the drums are played in a way that they resemble the firing of a machine gun. Also this song is based off the story "Johnnie Got His Gun". It is very anti-war. The character lost his sight and hearing. If I remember right they had to cut out his tongue. He also lost his limbs. He was a torso and head and that was it. The Dr thought he couldn't feel pain, but all he ever felt was pain. They figured out he was using Morse code trying to get assisted suicide because the machines were keeping him alive. The nurse tried to help him by smothering him but she was caught. In the end Johnnie was locked away in a room by himself.
I made a Metallica fan out of 1 of my 15 yr old daughter's friends last yr, by showing her the vid. She is @ our house now. They came downstairs as this video started the song & she got all excited & screamed out "Metallica One!" as she ran to me.
it's about soldiers in the infantry like me I cracked my head open, he lost his arms, legs, hearing, eyes, mouth & face. he couldn't die so he held his breath but the machine breathes for him so all he knows is endless pain.
You know what I love about this video the most, the fact that at 5:31 Kirk, James, and Jason head bang at the same exact time in the same exact way, I just love that lol
This song's lyrics have a very serious meaning. If I may suggest, please pull up the lyrics as you react to music. It will give you further insight into the true nature of the songs, allowing you to truly emerge yourself to appreciate it.
Oh my god watching you watch One was an absolute pleasure you could feel it straight away and you knew something good was coming. That is an absolute Masterpiece and seeing younger people appreciate it is great
I had read this book and watched the movie Johnny got his gun in a class I took in high school and then and justice for all came out like a month later and this song and video just solidified a life long love of Metallica for me, to see you guys have the same appreciation for them brings me great joy, I even noticed you wearing a Metallica shirt in another reaction, still smiling over that
I hear SO much classical music in this! It's staggering how much Metallica mirrors and imbues classical music. I LOVE Metallica from a musical standpoint and for their obvious understanding of music theory
I’ll never forget watching this video for the first time. It was like I had never heard the song before. The movie meant so much to the band and the visual storytelling is as much a part of the music as the instrumentals. Every time I hear the song I remember the story of this soldier and it gives me chills.
I love you reviewed Metallica. They've been my all-time favorite band since I was an angry adolescent. Listening to them today still releases a pent up anger I hardly know exists. They speak to every cell in my body.
I give you a few more of these killer jams before you're head banging alone in your room. You can only hold back for so long! Love these reactions. Everything was separated when this came out. You were either a grit/metal head, punker or hip-hop head back then. This proves that open mindedness is a great thing \m/ 0 \m/
Found your channel and I am enjoying your guy's reaction and relieving the joy of seeing how you guys feel hearing certain songs for the first time, so much nostalgia when I went through that.....I cant see all the request but if you haven't gotten the request, yet I think you guys would enjoy Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane....or any of their songs
Jonny went to war, got his arms and legs blown off, lost eye sight, hearing, speech, and just lay there like a vegetable. Bad part is that he's still concious and knows that he's alive with no way of communicating with the world outside his own head. It's pure hell! It's a really awful scenario. He's basically saying to please kill me and put me out of this misery that the hospital has me hooked up to these machines that keep me alive when I can't wake up from this nightmare. Imagine having no arms, legs, vision, hearing or speech and only way of communicating is Morse code, however, you don't know that the other party is thinking cause you can't hear. This is one freaky ass scenario
Yeah, was based on a book by Dalton Trumbo, "Johnny Got His Gun"; Dalton Trumbo was placed on a Hollywood "Blacklist" in the '50's for "subversion" partly due to that book, long story but worth looking up. On another note, the heavy second section of this song is credited w/creating (or at least heavily inspiring...pun intended? haha) the metal sub-genre "Djent" and also Nu-Metal to a degree; that particular style of riff, the tight, 'chugging' guitars following the bass drum rhythms and that heavy cadence it creates. Great channel too btw, audio sounds good, keep it up!
Do yourself a big favor, if you really want to respect Metallica and truly respect the talent that they possess. A true musician or band can prove how truly good they are without a studio and give a great live performance. Check out Metallica Battery 1989 live in Seattle. And you will see this raw talent at its best
Yep studio before live everytime , especially with metallica , they are awesome live but you can't get the true sense of the song, just the energy and they play how they feel so the song can get lost live
The movie clips were taken from the movie Johnny Got His Gun. MetallicA bought the rights to the movie for this video. As many people below have commented, next up is Creeping Death, live from Moscow, 1991. 1.6 million people in attendance. This was a free concert during the Monsters of Rock tour that year and was shortly after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Many hard core fans, built with bootleg and black market albums. never dreamed they would ever see a Metal Concert in their lifetime. The energy is electric!
So true I love chop suey my favourite piece But what a band everything they do is no word for this band I hope they do hear it can't wait to see their expression lol I'm sure they will be hooked like me Australia 💕 Christina
Im a new subscriber and i love him and his reaction but that bugged me for some reason maybe because im a huge fan and grew up as teen with them... lol still love this channel though!
The movie is a late 60's anti war movie called Johnny Got His Gun. It's about a young man going to war. A bomb explodes and he wakes up with no arms, no legs, can't speak, hear or talk. The only way he can communicate is by using morris code. He's begging them to kill him and they refuse. But the nurse goes ad and kills him to put out of his misery.
The story of a man who is sent to war, but ends of getting hit with a land mine and is forced to get his arms and legs chopped off to the point where he can only hear. To the point where he is incapable of speech. Such a deep and dark story, and while he struggles in a hospital, his father parades around using him as a carnival attraction. Such a sick and deep story but told in a magnificent way.
Fun fact my kid sleeps through her school alarm clock, and I played loudly One to get her up! 😂 Now she says mom plays Metallica loud if I don't get up. 🤣🤣
If you got the stomach, watch "Johnny Got His Gun", it's the movie that inspired that song, parts of that movie were used in this video. It's a movie that makes soldiers cry like little children.
the dude is basically helpless after war as it says land mines have taken my sight taken my hearing taken my arms taken my taken my soul left me with life in hell.
![Metallica - Nothing Else Matters [Official Music Video] REACTION](/img/n.gif)
Opening solo....”this is going hard!!”.......Oh just you wait 😆😆😆
Ryan Hampson every time i watch someone react to this song, i think that same thing... just wait and when they freak out when the solo hits and the drums, i get excited just like i'm hearing it the first time all over again 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I was thinking the same thing!
😂😂😂👍🤟🤟🤟
LOL!
The double bass is fire 🔥
The first time me and my friends watched the music video for ONE 💀 we all sat there in silence for about 10 minutes afterwards. It was that deep....
My first reaction as a kid was "WTF did I just watch"!?
Then I heart it a second time, and as you said... few minutes I was in awe! never seen or heard anything like that. My fav. of Metallica.
Same here
@@skeptorr This video scared the crap out of me as a kid
@@kemengjie how old were you?
@@skeptorr it's a great one.
The story is based on a book by Dalton Trumbo called "Johnny Got His Gun". they made a movie in 1971.
Metallica actually bought the rights to this film to stop having to pay royalties.
@@rlret2034 No surprise there.
I read that book when I was in high school. Dang thing gave me nightmares.
chucklesburk Metallica: both the hardest hard rock AND the most literary hard rock band ever. No one else in the genre comes even close.
They’d never get away with making this video today. They’d be attacked as anti-war.
I was waiting for this. This song shaped my view of the human consequences of war. Metallica changed me with this song. Not only by giving me a different perspective on war but on music as well. Long live One.

He was what was called a "basket case" in the military.So freakin sad.
Marie0220 SPOILER
@@tylerabrego2425 sorry
Marie0220 it’s cool
@@maxinemcclurd1288 He was never considered to be a basket case. What a dumb thing to say.
I made a Metallica fan out of 1 of my 15 yr old daughter's friends last yr, by showing her the vid.
She is @ our house now. They came downstairs as this video started the song & she got all excited & screamed out "Metallica One!" as she ran to me.

Whatever happened to him in the end? When did he finally die and get relief?
One of my favorite songs and the message when it comes to war is powerful
My teacher was cool enough to play this song and video in my high school class!! A lot of us woke up that day. Appreciate that teacher
I got this in an English class, we read “Johnny Got His Gun”, and a music history class. I was tenth grade I think.
@@HistorysRaven that book is wild, the way he descends into madness
Before I even watch the reaction, I'm thinking, "Prepare to see another mind blown by 'One"."
"Now the world is gone,
And I'm just one"
Damn, that cuts deep.
Metallica goes deep for sure. Try 'Creeping Death' live in Moscow 1991. Legendary concert. 1.5 million people at that concert.
Did you the only reason so many people were there is because it was a free Concert
It's not like ac fuckin dc wasnt there... 😂They killed their set.
The iron curtain fell. Concerts were rare the old USSR this was liberation
...
The number gets inflated every youtube comment, lol. Do we even know how many people were actually there?
I consider this one of the saddest songs ever written.
It absolutely is.
Truly
Absolutely 🥺
I cry. every. time.
I won't see you tonight by avenged sevenfold is in that top 3
Metallica is even better in concert. Everyone needs to experience one of their concerts. This song is so intense live.
That's a Definite have to see them Live to Experience a True gift of Rock-N-Roll at it's Best
This is and always will be my favorite Metallica song! I love how open to all music you are. I just love this channel
You know what I love about this video the most, the fact that at 5:31 Kirk, James, and Jason head bang at the same exact time in the same exact way, I just love that lol
You adapt quick! You get it, bro!!!
Made my day young man!!! 😂🤣😂thank you Sir!! Really gotta listen to that song about 💯 times before really getting to hear talent !!
This is / was the beginning of Metallica! I remember seeing the video at 1am on the head bangers ball on MTV!
Love love love Lar's double bass kick in this song. Gets me everytime.
Me too. Love the way it hits me.
Miztiki Yep!! Awesome stuff
This song's lyrics have a very serious meaning. If I may suggest, please pull up the lyrics as you react to music. It will give you further insight into the true nature of the songs, allowing you to truly emerge yourself to appreciate it.
Can’t recommend this enough. A little background goes a long way
Hes was too busy enjoying the true sound of the instruments to not listen to the words lol that rawness gets you everytime
I'd recommend Genius. They give a backstory on what the song is about, and give the lyrics.
Any of their songs its a must to listen to their lyrics. There is always a story. Fav band ever
*The Greatest band in the world....METALLICA*
🔥☠️☠️☠️☠️🔥
I was in the 7th grade when this song hit MTV, and it blew my mind. I never heard Metallica before then. I've been a fan ever since.
My favourite Metallica song. The drop when you're hitting a max PR for deadlifts - nothing better.
Oh my god watching you watch One was an absolute pleasure you could feel it straight away and you knew something good was coming. That is an absolute Masterpiece and seeing younger people appreciate it is great
Man - I remember when this hit mtv
Epic
Good Metallica for music is S& M with the symphony orchestra!
One of the BEST concerts I have ever been to. Like that you are reacting to so much variety! Keep it up :)
I had read this book and watched the movie Johnny got his gun in a class I took in high school and then and justice for all came out like a month later and this song and video just solidified a life long love of Metallica for me, to see you guys have the same appreciation for them brings me great joy, I even noticed you wearing a Metallica shirt in another reaction, still smiling over that
I didn’t know you reacted to this one. So glad. I’m no metalhead but Metallica?!? Yes. Since the 80s.
I hear SO much classical music in this! It's staggering how much Metallica mirrors and imbues classical music. I LOVE Metallica from a musical standpoint and for their obvious understanding of music theory

I read Johnny Got His Gun after hearing this song. It’s pretty incredible, because you’re inside this guys head.
Favorite song...favorite band...their musicality is beyond...
THIS. THIS!!! This is my absolute FAVORITE Metallica song. The drums. Omg.
The very first rock music that i really paid attention to and it was love até First sight. And still put a smile on my face...
Thank you so much for playing my Favorite song from this Band.You just made my day honey Thanks so much!!
This song is so iconic. Well done, Metallica!!!!
MASTER OF PUPPETS!!
SEEN THEM LIVE 5 TIMES WOULDN'T MISS A CONCERT NOW IF THEY WERE BACK IN CALGARY ALBERTA CANADA
His reaction to the beat alone low-key gave me chills 😂😂
My favorite Metallica song!!!!!
And yes .....JUST YOU WAIT.....
After all the Metallica songs I heard...Whiskey in the jar...stuck
I love you reviewed Metallica. They've been my all-time favorite band since I was an angry adolescent. Listening to them today still releases a pent up anger I hardly know exists. They speak to every cell in my body.
I remember all of is back in high school waiting for the premier on MTV.
My favorite Metallica song. I love how you are open to listening to different types of music. Love your videos.
Man this song takes me back about 30 years, lol...still love that double base though!
I give you a few more of these killer jams before you're head banging alone in your room. You can only hold back for so long! Love these reactions. Everything was separated when this came out. You were either a grit/metal head, punker or hip-hop head back then. This proves that open mindedness is a great thing \m/ 0 \m/
This song hits in the feels. Masterpiece. The melodies are incredible.
You know a songs gonna be good when your first reaction to a clean INTRO solo “this is going hard”🤣
This channel is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.
ITS SO SAD. It makes me want to cry every time.
My favorite Metallica song ever. Its a prerequisite to teach your kids about Metallica in my opinion.

This video is a trip it always has been. Many Blessings Mea 🙏
You should do a reaction to Metallica Enter Sandman live 1991 in Moscow , over a million Russians there ,
Best album by metallica in my opinion. I was in high school when this came out. Still love it

But what a band everything they do is no word for this band
I hope they do hear it can't wait to see their expression lol I'm sure they will be hooked like me
Australia 💕 Christina
One is just a warning of what we do to ourselves
Metallica plays with passion unmatched by any metal band
Another nice reaction buddy.. but you gotta put the A at the end of their name, its metallica not metallic
For real, it might sound cool but it's for the respec
Also, not Master of Puppies

Hey guys we love you!!Youve got to listen to Rush- Tom Sawyer
Fully agree
I got a thing for Cold Fire, too, and Roll the Bones, and Free Will.
When you said it's going hard...I had to laugh because oh hold on if you think that is hard because it's about to drop🤘🤘🤘. Headbanger chic for life!!
There's so many video/songs called "One" but this is the best one. And this song could easily ne about Vietnam, even though it's not.
Great song. Great meaning. Keep building it bro
Enter the Sandman by Mettalica ❤
This song almost makes me cry every time
Shocked to not see over 1m on this video 🖤
Yes!! Amazing song!!!!😎🎵🎶🎼🎸
Great reaction!!!! Welcome to Metallica!
Great video keep on the grind, doing great brother!
Fun fact my kid sleeps through her school alarm clock, and I played loudly One to get her up! 😂 Now she says mom plays Metallica loud if I don't get up. 🤣🤣
Gojira, live version of Heaviest Matter in the Universe.. drumming is insanity
gojira's drumming is always AMAZING !!!!
I love your reaction and what you react to much 💚
Another metal masterpiece!
Thanks for playing two of the songs I recommend it to you.!
Metallica - Fade to Black. Best Metallica song.
