Good thing you can find all of that context in the lyrics which are clearly audible throughout the song. But no, apparently we need to have a movie trailer play on top of the song, to be able to understand it.
Great reaction! This is THE song that really catapulted Metallica into super star status. They were very big and respected within the Metal community but this song and video introduced them to the mainstream. I really hope you can do more of the old school metal. There is so much great music that you will love. With you being a theater kid, I’d love to see you do a reaction to Savatage. The forerunners to theatrical/symphonic metal. Songs like Gutter Ballet and Chance are right up your alley! Once again, thank you for the reaction!
@@pkj77 nope. It was this song and the video. This gave them that push. That’s why the Black album exploded. People who would never have bought a Metallica album suddenly knew who they were. The Grammy snubbed helped quite a bit also.
That’s the more informative lyric to understand exactly his terrible condition. Also you forgot “taken my soul”. But; Darkness, imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Are more poignant powerful lyrics to those who see already the persons condition we are considering.
@@mokane86 Without the "Landmine....." lyric "Darkness...." could mean a person suffering with mental health/depression, it doesn't tell you why. I think we will agree to disagree. Both lyrics are important
At the end of the video, I saw 2 suggestions in boxes--Anesthesia (pulling teeth) is one you should watch if you want to hear very early Metallica with bassist Cliff Burton (died in 1986). Worth it to watch & hear his incredible ability to play bass almost as a guitar player. Have a nice day.
This was the first music video that Metallica made. The song is from their fourth album And Justice For All. Bands like Metallica at the time didn't do videos because their songs were so long. Songs you should check out are Back to the Front, Ride the Lightning and Damage Inc..
You would love 'In Your Eyes' by Peter Gabriel. The version on Secret World Live is amazing. They changed the arrangement and added backup singers including Paula Cole who later became famous for the Dawson's Creek theme song
Actually we Were talking about what is now called PTSD back then, even before, especially in the 70s which with all the soldiers coming out of Vietnam, whom for many were mentally, emotionally and physically effected. It was still called Shell Shock and during the early 70s it started becoming a real issue with retuning veterans of war. It was probably the first time we all publicly started seeing the effects of war in our soldiers and really opened a dialog. I think music of the time with antiwar themes along stateside war protests were a big part of the conscience that opened up the public's eyes whether it was presented in a good or bad light, people started really talking about it.
Also the box over the face is covering something way scarier and worse. The dude doesn't have a face anymore. The nurses have to take the mask off, clean him, then re sew the mask back on every day. The nurse in these clips is the New Age Nurse (younger woman) and is the first to communicate with him after the injuries. She finds herself stuck in a situation she really doesn't want to be in every day also, having to treat victims of war
The movie used in this video and book it's based on are very creepy. It's hard to find a hard copy on video sometimes and the book is somewhat rare to spot in the wild also
I was reading the Morse code in your head bobbing, Charis, and when the tempo picked up you were repeating either "Bring me chili dog" or possibly "Bring me chili, Dog". Near as I can tell.🤔
This was from 1988, Metallica's 4th studio album "And justice for all"... which was their first top 10 charting album. It was also a very angry and intense record because it was recorded after the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton (who was killed in 1986 in a tour bus accident in Europe) ... James Hetfield (vocals/ guitar) wrote lyrics on the album that blasted everything, including his parents on the track 'Dyers eve'... For whatever reason, bassist Jason Newsted was excluded from the album's final mixes - he was also the recipient of hazing after joining Metallica... Lars Ulrich (drums) wanted his drums higher in the mix and faded out Jason's bass tracks. Of course, the (new) bassist was upset, and he would eventually leave Metallica in 2001 after 14 years in the band. 'One' was written about the movie (made in 1971) u see in the music video "Johnny got his gun" - about a World War I soldier who loses all his limbs and senses and still survives... War was a theme on past Metallica records ('For whom the bell tolls' ... 'Disposable heroes'... ) Metallica refused to make a music video on their first 3 albums... What was the point of blowing money filming a video when MTV would not play it? However, Metallica did the 'Monsters of Rock' tour in '88 and did better than all the bands on the bill (including the headliners - Van Halen) and the album 'And justice for all' sold platinum faster than the 3rd album 'Master of Puppets'... In 1989, Metallica were finally coaxed to film a music video for the song 'One'... which would be on MTV. They filmed it in a warehouse and put the original movie clips on it... It did make an impact and the album went 2x platinum that year as Metallica headlined arenas for the first time w/ Queensryche opening.
Interesting fact. The movie scenes in the video clip, from the movie "johnny got his gun" Metallica bought the rights to that movie, so they wouldn't have to pay royalties. Another interesting fact, donald southerland is in it. A very very young, hippy looking Donald Southerland lol
The best "Live performers" are 3 sisters from Mexico.. they play Rock.. THE WARNING they are brilliant. It's a must watch if you're a live performer.. They're brilliant... You have no idea what you're missing 🌎✌️"HELL YOU CALL A DREAM" LIVE AT THE PEPSI CENTER CDMX .
Because it would be an absolute foolish logistical nightmare to send presidents into modern war, really. Because a high acceptance rate guarantee pay job with high risk is desirable to people struggling or with poor start. War Pigs is way better. 🤘
The best band you're missing out on.. "THE WARNING" try DUST TO DUST/DULL KNIVES (Cut better) LIVE AT THE PEPSI CENTER CDMX OR EVOLVE LIVE AT THE MTV VMA'S 2023🌎✌️
Nice reaction. :) Can you react to some new Metallica live shows, from 2023 / 2024? You will find sooo many high quality live show videos on Metallicas TH-cam channel. :)
9:10 No, there’s no correlation between the drums and Morse code. SOS is dot dot dot (S) dash dash dash (O) dot dot dot (S) On a side note, the old standard Nokia SMS tone was Morse code for SMS, being dot dot dot (S) dash dash dot (M) dot dot dot (S).
@@CharisSellickYou’re welcome. Incidentally, while you’re around, I had a quick check and I don’t think you’ve done any John Farnham reactions. You’ve likely heard “You’re the Voice” before, it should headline any motivational playlist, but he has a massive catalogue you should at least take a quick look at. As a theatre kid you’ll appreciate his vocals. I’ll recommend 3 songs, “You’re the Voice” first, obviously, live with the Melbourne Symphony orchestra is best. Edit: Keep an eye out for the first mic toss. 🤌 “Help” (originally by The Beatles, so be familiar with that first) from the same concert. Johns rearrangement is the GOAT, and I’m including “Hurt” by Johnny Cash and “Sound of Silence” by Disturbed in that description. “When something is wrong with my baby” (written by Issac Hayes and David Porter) performed as a duet with Jimmy Barnes (or Farnsy and Barnsy as they are known here), check out the video on GlennSuperdude’s channel, it has Diesel, too. 😉😁 ❤Lots of love from the land down under 🇦🇺
Of course Farnsy really doesn’t do heavy metal, maybe a little rock on occasion, so maybe it’s not right for your channel, but I had to recommend regardless.

This is probably the greatest music video of all time.
I agree
If by "greatest" you mean the worst, then yes...
Read the book. "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo.
The context for this song is paramount to understanding how the intensity of the music matches the intensity of the content.
Good thing you can find all of that context in the lyrics which are clearly audible throughout the song. But no, apparently we need to have a movie trailer play on top of the song, to be able to understand it.

i believe it was Enter Sandman or Nothing else Matters that got them into mainstream
@@pkj77 nope. It was this song and the video. This gave them that push. That’s why the Black album exploded. People who would never have bought a Metallica album suddenly knew who they were. The Grammy snubbed helped quite a bit also.
@pkj77 no it was this song.
From Savatage, I would highly recommend "When the Crowds are Gone".
@@jeffblanchard2406 great song but I was thinking something with a little more orchestration.
The lyrics to remember are: 9:29
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Left me with life in hell
That’s the more informative lyric to understand exactly his terrible condition. Also you forgot “taken my soul”.
But;
Darkness, imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Are more poignant powerful lyrics to those who see already the persons condition we are considering.
@@mokane86 Without the "Landmine....." lyric "Darkness...." could mean a person suffering with mental health/depression, it doesn't tell you why. I think we will agree to disagree.
Both lyrics are important
That's some classic thrash metal.
Zombie from the Cranberries is another good antiwar song about true events
I was going to say I could've sworn you reacted to this one before
I was going to say the same
At the end of the video, I saw 2 suggestions in boxes--Anesthesia (pulling teeth) is one you should watch if you want to hear very early Metallica with bassist Cliff Burton (died in 1986). Worth it to watch & hear his incredible ability to play bass almost as a guitar player. Have a nice day.
Hi from Adelaide Australia 🦘, I've seen these guys play this song live with thousands of people. When the song finish the crowd was so loud ❤❤❤
The movie its johnny got his gun great reaction you should rly watch the movie its rly good
They got so tired of calculating the royalties they owed the makers of the movie they just bought the rights to it.
15:49 "Scarifying" - love it, new term coined, and point well made.
This was the first music video that Metallica made. The song is from their fourth album And Justice For All. Bands like Metallica at the time didn't do videos because their songs were so long. Songs you should check out are Back to the Front, Ride the Lightning and Damage Inc..
it's funny how, with all the military officers standing around him, only one of them knows Morse code.

And the blast sections are supposed to be mimicing the cadence of CW or Morse code, yes. It's not S O S but close enough to get the point across
One of the best song of Metallica.The scenes are from the film:"Johnny got his gun".
The movie used in this video and book it's based on are very creepy. It's hard to find a hard copy on video sometimes and the book is somewhat rare to spot in the wild also
I think the movie is on TH-cam

Thank you for your service
Have you heard Electric Callboy yet? I recommend We Got The Moves (don't look away from the video, you might miss something)
Lol
@@CharisSellick Lol didn't explain anything so I searched your channel and you have a whole EC playlist, I will watch it
Seeing them live on the tour for this album was amazing. Queensryche opened. They were awesome, too. Geoff Tate can belt.
Fun fact Metallica bought the rights to the movie Johnny Got His Gun
Greatest band ever killing it 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘….MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE METALLICA 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
ขอนำเสนอเพลงของ Metallica "Creeping death" live '91 is the best greeting from Thailand

Metallica - Creeping Death.
One of the oldest stories made into a song? It is definitely an old story and my favorite Metallica song.
It's weird seeing Jason play bass in the video when you don't hear it. 🙃
From indonesian 🇲🇨
people don't talk enough about how great of a songwriter James Hetfield used to be.
Guitar earnings 👍👍
Wow...😊😊😊
The best lyric about War is BYOB....... Why don't Presidents fight the wars, why do we always sent the poor?!!
@@MetalMonkey I have a reaction to BYOB and it’s one of my faves
@@CharisSellick I know. I was just saying that it has the best lyric about war
If you like room temperature IQ political commentary, then yeah.
Because it would be an absolute foolish logistical nightmare to send presidents into modern war, really.
Because a high acceptance rate guarantee pay job with high risk is desirable to people struggling or with poor start.
War Pigs is way better. 🤘
Metallica, bought the rights to the movie. So, they could incorporate it into their video
