YO! Reply with the song you want me to react to! I'll react to whatever gets the most likes (any band/artist)! Also, check out Patreon.com/RobTV if you wanna support more, get early/exclusive videos, or even guarantee a reaction choice with HOF tier! Much love and sorry about Master of Puppets LOL
The song was based off of a Novel/movie called Johnny got his gun. It's about a soldier that was hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. Left In hospital, with basically a fate worse than death. He lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He's fully conscious but unable to communicate, and unable to tell the difference between a dream and the waking world.
They wrote the song based off of the book. When they decided to make a music video (their first) they then found out there was a movie based off the book so they decided to used clips from the movie. They were going to pay on a per clip basis then found it was cheaper to buy rights to the entire film.
That's what I was gonna say. The next Metallica song he reacts to should really be Fade to Black. Especially with how much he seems to like guitar solos.
Dude, I don't want you to ever stop making content, but the right person is gonna see you and you're gonna go on to bigger and better things. You're an entertaining mother fckr!
Such a good song. Also, the film clips in the video are from a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun". The song was based on the novel of the same name that the movie was adapted from.
I am a life-long metalhead largely due to this song and video. This is the feeling I'm chasing and it's still one of my top 10 favorite songs. Folks talk some shit on Metallica and a lot of the time they're right to, but you'll never hear anyone disrespect this song.
This is Metallica's masterpiece. They have more famous songs, but they don't have better songs. "One" is Metallica's "War Pigs" and "Enter Sandman" is their "Paranoid".
Man, I've been watching you for a couple of months and I finally figured out why I got hooked on your channel. Your enthusiasm reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard these songs. And it's been so long that a lot of the times I just don't react this way to them anymore. Watching you puts the spark back into the songs for me. Thank you sir.
I was going to comment the same thing. The excitement I see people having these songs for the first time and I can go back to the day I first heard it! I love to see this!
I still react to this song the way you did after countless listens. Even the sigh at the end. 😂 It is my favorite song. It's a banger, musically beautiful, intelligent, and emotional. ❤❤❤
You gotta check out Fade to Black next, it’s their best song IMO. And if you ever feel the desire to give it a second chance, I promise you the solo on Master of Puppets is just as incredible as this.
When my dad took me to baseball practice during middle school he had an OG iPod that have 140k songs on it and battery was the very first song I ever heard from Metallica on purpose. I’ve now been playing guitar for 11 years because of that one day. James Hetfield is a god in metal
Dude. Cutting 'Master Of Puppets' was unfair.. but don't apologize if you aren't feeling it. I love 'Schism' by Tool, you didn't like it. All 82 thousand of your followers respect your honesty
Funny because Killing in the Name is the least interesting song rage put out. The whole song is the repeating of 3 or 4 phrases. Rage has so many deeper, more complex, more entertaining songs.
The first time I saw this video I was about 9 years old, staying up late watching Headbangers Ball. After a bunch of hair metal, this song comes on. 35 years later, I’m still a metalhead because of this song.
I'm in a metal band. It's not the 90's anymore and I have arthritis in my knees, but I'm still doing it. Your video reminded me of the first time I saw that video.
One of my favorite parts is near the end, when the soldier seems most trapped in the memories and PTSD- the drums and guitar firing in bursts sound just like gunfire to me. It's so fucking well done and well played
Congratlations from Spain. You are the best at reacting to music videos. It's great to see your reactions to rock music which is my favorite. Thank you
Let’s go Rob!!! There’s 2 guitarists in Metallica- James hetfield and Kirk Hammett. James is the rhythm guitarist and Kirk is the lead guitarist meaning Kirk played the cool guitar solo near the end (as for the rest of the guitar it’s a mixture of them both im not sure whose part is whose though). James hetfield is also the singer. Lars Ulrich is the drummer. During this time their bassist was Jason Newsted although interestingly I believe they muted his bass on every song of this album. So I don’t think this song has any bass although it was originally supposed to.
IIRC, the bass tracks weren't muted entirely, but it was decreased to a level where you essentially couldn't hear it over the guitars. You might be able to catch a few weird noises in Dyers' Eve and Shortest Straw that are actually the bass, if you're paying attention!
Yes, Rob!! Never change my guy. Another slice of awesomeness. What you do is seriously appreciated. Ok, my recommendation is a little out of left field, but I think it could be fun. 1.Band-Maid 'Thrill' 2. Ningen Isu 'Hartless Scat' or 'Farewell to the World'
Welcome to Metallica. Great reaction, couldn't wait for you to hear that solo. Definitely one of my favorite Metallica songs. You should checked out Fade to Black next
Love your reactions man. Yea, this song goes deep... I'm not a veteran or soldier, but my dad was in Vietnam. He doesn't even talk about the war. Ever. It leaves me thinking about the horrors some of these things people seen or experienced. Definitely deep....
I love watching people reacting to Metallica's One, it never gets old when people reach certain points of the song and realise what it is all about. Even Sir Elton John said One is one of the best composition ever done! Thanks for a brilliant reaction video.
This my fav Metallica song and it’s one of the songs that made me into the rock/metalhead i am today after only listening to rap for many years prior. That machine gun riff in the middle section is one of the most hype moments in music history no debate. I just know u would LOVE Sad But True coming from a hip hop background, it brings out the stank face
The way she reacts to certain parts of the songs is hilarious! Made me listen to a song I've listened to a million times and get excited about it too because he was excited about it. I like this guy and I think I'm going to start following him.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I can play it on guitar and I almost always put it to the top of my queue on Spotify. I'm glad you listened to it! I love Metallica and I think you should listen to some more of their "... And Justice for All" Album. I also get to see them live soon.
Man, I was in grade 6 when this album came out, my buddy had a Columbia House subscription (or 5) and he randomly ordered Kill Em All and he invited me to a birthday party where I saw it unopened and decided to open it and give it a shot, I sat in his bedroom alone for the rest of the party rocking out and took the album home with me. It was a life changing moment I will never forget :)
The bass on this album is basically just matching the rhythm guitars. Nothing especially crazy, to be honest. I never minded the mix, personally. The multi-tracked guitars just carry so much weight to me. Newstead is a damn good bassist, though fr. He's the architect of a ton of great bass lines for Metallica.
The mix is divisive, but it changed music at the time and I love the sound of the album. If anyone really wants the truth, however, go listen to “…and Justice for Jason”. He played his ads off on the album and Lars buried it.
@@cjonesufc exactly. I personally don't like the lack of bass and the thin sounding drums, especially the bass drums. It did, however, set a trend in the years to come. Vinnie Paul had kind of the same sound on the early Pantera albums.
Fun fact, kirk, the guitarist was on the cover of guitar magazine with the titlebeing "please hammett dont hurt em" which was in refference to mc hammers albulm which came out around the same time
i have the same podium ! and would also have a hard time to chose. Thanks for the energy. This was a pleasure to share. i would advice the following non so mainstream songs if you liked the zic +lyrics +originality +mood combo on these two previous: _coma by guns and roses (i feel it every time) _the "qwerty" musical by murshroomhead ( quite wtf and wich made me want to discover them more )
9:55 this is my standard for art since like 1996. I knew the song word 4 word, note 4 note, beat 4 beat for a few years before I saw the video. Its a true masterpiece
Did you notice in the back ground before the guitar wails that one of the men said "this is a product of your profession " while standing over the solider????
Haha I love how generally accurate your impressions of instruments and singing are during the pauses sometimes. As a musician, I enjoy hearing what you recall melodically/structurally on a first pass of a song. Also, distinguishing bass from guitar def took me some effort at first. Even harder for stuff like Rage where the bass often uses guitar effects and plays synchronized parts with Tom. It’s even more challenging when you hear what sounds like guitar, but the guitar is actually playing a siren noise in the background or some shit 😂
I have seen reactions where the reactors didn't watch the video and only listened to the audio which is a huge mistake for the first time because the clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" add a whole new depth to the message.
This is the song that got me into Metallica, playing it in Guitar Hero 3. Thought it was one of the best songs I'd ever heard. Got me into metal in general.
YO! Reply with the song you want me to react to! I'll react to whatever gets the most likes (any band/artist)!

Left In hospital, with basically a fate worse than death. He lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He's fully conscious but unable to communicate, and unable to tell the difference between a dream and the waking world.
The song coupled with the movie is really a masterpiece! A perfect depiction of the horrors of war!
I read that book years ago, and I'm still trying to readjust.
They wrote the song based off of the book. When they decided to make a music video (their first) they then found out there was a movie based off the book so they decided to used clips from the movie. They were going to pay on a per clip basis then found it was cheaper to buy rights to the entire film.
That's crazy depressing. Damn I hate this world sometimes
One of the most depressing books I’ve ever read.
"Did you hear those fucking drums?" Dude, my neighbor heard them 😂😂
And he fuckin loved it too didn't he 💯
One and Fade to Black are their most artistic songs imo. If you liked One you will like Fade to Black
ADD WELCOME HOME [SANITARIUM]
Fade to black has my favorite guitar solo of all time hands down
That's what I was gonna say. The next Metallica song he reacts to should really be Fade to Black. Especially with how much he seems to like guitar solos.
No disagreement. Those are my top two
Agreed
Dude, I don't want you to ever stop making content, but the right person is gonna see you and you're gonna go on to bigger and better things. You're an entertaining mother fckr!
A naturally charming dude.
Absolutely second this, I normally can't stand so much pausing but this man is too funny and has buckets of charisma
Such a good song. Also, the film clips in the video are from a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun". The song was based on the novel of the same name that the movie was adapted from.
They bought the rights to the movie so they could use it for the music video
Might get some hate, but I hate the movie clips. It drives me crazy.
Book by Dalton Trumbo. My mom had me read it when I was in high school so I would never support war.
Welcome home sanitarium by Metallica is also a great song
So is the version limp Bizkit did at the tribute to Metallica!! Korn's version of one..... 🫠🫠🫠
I am a life-long metalhead largely due to this song and video. This is the feeling I'm chasing and it's still one of my top 10 favorite songs. Folks talk some shit on Metallica and a lot of the time they're right to, but you'll never hear anyone disrespect this song.
This is Metallica's masterpiece. They have more famous songs, but they don't have better songs. "One" is Metallica's "War Pigs" and "Enter Sandman" is their "Paranoid".
This is the way! 🤘🏾
Amen to that. Metallica peaked with the Black Album IMO.
Man, I've been watching you for a couple of months and I finally figured out why I got hooked on your channel.
Your enthusiasm reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard these songs.
And it's been so long that a lot of the times I just don't react this way to them anymore.
Watching you puts the spark back into the songs for me.
Thank you sir.
Well said. Spot on. It’s like hearing all these songs that shaped my youth for the first time
I was going to comment the same thing. The excitement I see people having these songs for the first time and I can go back to the day I first heard it! I love to see this!
Yes!!! This my favorite Metallica song ❤
Mine too. Love it just as much as when it was first released.
💯 % this is one of my favorite metallica songs.
Same, I still love this song. I suggested it on his master of puppets review as well. I KNEW Rob would love this song!
I still react to this song the way you did after countless listens. Even the sigh at the end. 😂 It is my favorite song. It's a banger, musically beautiful,
intelligent, and emotional. ❤❤❤
@@bekahnavarro First time I heard it was in 1996.....I was 12, changed my life forever, lol. Wish I could have experienced them in the early 80's.
15:31 - Excellent observation, Rob. This album is well known for having the bass volume too low in the mix.
As Newsted would say that was by [their] choice.
@@comkver Not Jason's choice, surely.
@@Zseventyone absolutely! I still can't get over their stalking behavior.
@@comkver Some Kinda Monster...
Came looking for this comment. Not disappointed. Thumbs up
This and disposable heroes are two of the most gut-wrenching anti-war songs I've ever heard... I love Metallica 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Have you heard Hero of war by rise against?
Disposable is amazing
The acoustic version is absolute fire 2@@pyrotf2irl104
The Day That Never Comes also falls in there.
I almost spit my drink when you said you couldnt really hear the bass.....its non-existent on this whole album 💀
Im going to keep on beating this drum but we need to get him on some Sabbath
Gotta start with War Pigs
@@hellion7514 Either War Pigs or Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath.
@@hellion7514 100 goddamn percent!
I think the song Black Sabbath is the best place to start.
Given the subjects and lyrics I've seen him enjoy before, I think War Pigs will be right up his alley @@hellion7514
Not really into this genre but this song is undeniably great.
You gotta check out Fade to Black next, it’s their best song IMO. And if you ever feel the desire to give it a second chance, I promise you the solo on Master of Puppets is just as incredible as this.
Master of Puppets first and then Fade to Black are their best songs. You're on point. But there's so many others right there.
I never realised how good this song is until just now.
You gotta react to the obligatory "Pisces" by Jinjer Live Studio Session video!
Hell fuckin YES!!
Oh shit! 100000%
ABSOLUTELY
If you want Metallica playing like madmen then you absolutely need to do "Battery" next.
YES!!!! First Metallica song I ever heard. My life was forever changed!
Blackened or Dyers Eve.
When my dad took me to baseball practice during middle school he had an OG iPod that have 140k songs on it and battery was the very first song I ever heard from Metallica on purpose. I’ve now been playing guitar for 11 years because of that one day. James Hetfield is a god in metal
@@averagegatsbyi love blackened so much dude, i would fail a try to not bang your head challenge listening to it
Dude, I am DYING at your reactions in this one. I'm in the middle of headbanging and stop cause I'm laughing too hard at that "GOT DAAAMN!"
Dude. Cutting 'Master Of Puppets' was unfair.. but don't apologize if you aren't feeling it.
I love 'Schism' by Tool, you didn't like it. All 82 thousand of your followers respect your honesty
Fantastic reaction for a song worthy of being ranked up their with “Killing In The Name”!
Funny because Killing in the Name is the least interesting song rage put out. The whole song is the repeating of 3 or 4 phrases. Rage has so many deeper, more complex, more entertaining songs.
HANDS DOWN, my all time favorite Metallica song fr. So glad you reacted to this!!
Great video! Glad you like it! It is one of the best songs ever, IMO
This is probably the best and most in-depth reaction this song! Great video! I enjoyed every second of it!
So glad you reacted to this! Won't be surprised if this becomes one of your most viewed videos. I recommend for whom the bell tolls, or sanatorium.
Hands down best reaction video every created! 😂😂 Love this guy!!
11:40 I was waiting for THIS from the moment you pressed play!! Hahah myyyy mann keep doin you Rob
Yoooo, Rob's face right at the 11:43 mark was everything!
@@vitovergara Haha! Makes my day. The inaudible sound sends me
Yo Rob you make me laugh and smile everytime. Thanks for that.

Saw them live in 1994. This song is, without a doubt, my best concert experience, hands down.
I've listened to this song so many times playing guitar hero I forgot just how fuckin sick it is. This is why I love watching fresh reactions to stuff
This is the reaction I have been waiting for from you!
I love watching people expanding what they listen to and trying new music and genuinely enjoying like this.
Welcome to Metallica. Great reaction, couldn't wait for you to hear that solo. Definitely one of my favorite Metallica songs. You should checked out Fade to Black next
Love your reactions man. Yea, this song goes deep... I'm not a veteran or soldier, but my dad was in Vietnam. He doesn't even talk about the war. Ever. It leaves me thinking about the horrors some of these things people seen or experienced. Definitely deep....
Seen them live lots of times and you leave exhausted and spent. Some of the best shows I've ever seen. Thanks Rob. Unforgiven is killer by them
This is hands down my favourite Metallica song, that bridge does and forever will live in my head rent free
A fun note about this video is it was Metallica's first music video. They swung for the fences and nailed it.
These videos make me so happy. You can't fake the joy music brings to people.
I love watching people reacting to Metallica's One, it never gets old when people reach certain points of the song and realise what it is all about.
Even Sir Elton John said One is one of the best composition ever done!
Thanks for a brilliant reaction video.
This song still gives me the chills and this album will always be my favorite Metallica album.
just scrolled by your vid, glad i took a double take once i seen the title, gained a new sub from me
Glad to see you finished this one. This whole album is fire!!! You should check out the song Blackened!! It’s my favorite song from the Mighty Met!
I love seeing your reaction to this song! I remember when it first came out. 🤘
This my fav Metallica song and it’s one of the songs that made me into the rock/metalhead i am today after only listening to rap for many years prior.

This song has always creeped me out. With the words from the movie over the music. Haunting is a good word for this song. 🤘😮
Nailed it, on every level. This review is basically perfection!!!
The way she reacts to certain parts of the songs is hilarious! Made me listen to a song I've listened to a million times and get excited about it too because he was excited about it. I like this guy and I think I'm going to start following him.
My absolute favorite Metallica song. I'm 52 and I was in High School when this came out. Love it!
Yes!! Thank you, great reaction.

As soon as I saw you were listening to this - I knew you were gonna love it. One of the greatest songs ever written.
Man, I was in grade 6 when this album came out, my buddy had a Columbia House subscription (or 5) and he randomly ordered Kill Em All and he invited me to a birthday party where I saw it unopened and decided to open it and give it a shot, I sat in his bedroom alone for the rest of the party rocking out and took the album home with me. It was a life changing moment I will never forget :)
The bassist is insane, but we can barely hear him because of the way this record was mastered. This is well documented and worth checking out.
The bass on this album is basically just matching the rhythm guitars. Nothing especially crazy, to be honest. I never minded the mix, personally. The multi-tracked guitars just carry so much weight to me.

I had no doubt you would finish this song ✌🏼❤️
perfect reaction to a perfect song, my man!!!
The day that never comes is another good song to listen to rob.
I love how music can bring US all together!!! Enjoy!!!
The beginning guitar is often called a "riff" in metal and rock. Love ur shit keep it up!
So fun getting to see someone hear this song for the first time. Felt the same way first time I heard it.
11:39 THIS IS WHY WE LOVE YOU, Rob!!
Enjoy your videos. You're fun to watch. I think you could be the host of a huge show someday.
Thanks and I’ll try to make that happen 💯
@@HollywoodRobTV I wish I could invest in you like a company.
i have the same podium ! and would also have a hard time to chose.
Thanks for the energy. This was a pleasure to share.
i would advice the following non so mainstream songs if you liked the zic +lyrics +originality +mood combo on these two previous:
_coma by guns and roses (i feel it every time)
_the "qwerty" musical by murshroomhead ( quite wtf and wich made me want to discover them more )
Man I love your reactions.
9:55 this is my standard for art since like 1996. I knew the song word 4 word, note 4 note, beat 4 beat for a few years before I saw the video. Its a true masterpiece
Did you notice in the back ground before the guitar wails that one of the men said "this is a product of your profession " while standing over the solider????
Talking to the politicians of course
Haha I love how generally accurate your impressions of instruments and singing are during the pauses sometimes. As a musician, I enjoy hearing what you recall melodically/structurally on a first pass of a song. Also, distinguishing bass from guitar def took me some effort at first. Even harder for stuff like Rage where the bass often uses guitar effects and plays synchronized parts with Tom. It’s even more challenging when you hear what sounds like guitar, but the guitar is actually playing a siren noise in the background or some shit 😂
You have to have lyrics with a meaning, accompanying great musicianship, guitars, drums, bass! Bring it!
was waiting on this one lets go
Guitar hero 3 pmo. Been a fan ever since. No Leaf clover is fire too
Glad you like it, it's a great song.
You may like Detox by Strapping Young Lad. More modern metal with a few industrial elements, but great groove.
Great reaction hahaha new subscriber! 😂
I have seen reactions where the reactors didn't watch the video and only listened to the audio which is a huge mistake for the first time because the clips from "Johnny Got His Gun" add a whole new depth to the message.
I love when music has some sort of old movie or song mixed in it adds such a cool/creepy feel
8:45 that riff is indeed amazing
Dude, as always, funny and amazing.
Woooooo! Rob..TV! Hollywood!
you da best big rob!
Love it. Please do another Metalica song about a soldier fallen in battle called 'Disposable Heros' - an 8+ minute masterpiece
Rob nearly got lift-off!! 🔥 Excellent!!! 😁
this song gets in your head and soul forever... epic...
Fade to Black
For Whom the Bell Tolls
The Memory Remains
Creeping Death Live in Moscow
I think you’ll really like these
NOW watch Chris Cornell sing these lyrics while playing the music from the U2 song "One". Mind-bending talent.
Wait what!! I gotta see that
Ur reaction struck a nerve…absolutely perfect especially what u were saying
One is one of the best songs ever made imo. The drums sounding like gun shots is just amazing! An absolute masterpiece!!
Glad you didn't get wrapped up in the video and focused on the music! You should definitely check out a live version of this song!
MASTERPIECE!
This is the song that got me into Metallica, playing it in Guitar Hero 3. Thought it was one of the best songs I'd ever heard. Got me into metal in general.
Justice is the fav album for a lot of fans. Great reaction!
Yep, you're right on this one. Check out Fade to Black from one of the earlier albums. Great reaction!
