I'm so jealous of you.. I wish I could go back in time and hear this song again for the first time. It completely blew my mind the first time I heard it back in the day. It was wonderful reliving that feeling through you. The solo in this song is my favorite solo in all of metal. The whole song is a masterpiece.
I have those last few lyrics on the back of my only band shirt. absolutely chilling words that depict the horrors of warfare and the consequences on humans
No matter what you are going through it could always be worse!!! A land mine could take your sight take your speech take your hearing yourarms your legs so don’t ever give up on life.
Love the videos! You should definitely check out Slipknot, some of their songs like Duality, The Devil In I, Dead Memories, Solway Firth, Vermillion, Nero Forte, Snuff, Psychosocial, Sulfur, Unsainted, etc have heavy messages in them, and the music videos are great. You should definitely check them out.
The lyrics of this song send a different vibe compared when the song is watched with official clip.. First of all album got out without clip but back then was not too much just lyrics on radio and plenty other trash heavy-metal bands wrote & played something similar i had this first on vinyl it sounds epic then on cassette-player.. so moving few years latter (cd- coming out) they decide to do a clip for it and throw it on MTv and after watching it, i really felt so much different associating all the lyrics with the clip, just how they intended to be (not how i imagined when i was hearing the song first time without the clip).. With the video this song hits much harder because you feel the pain & suffering like you are teleported right there, and then drums+guitars are like machine-guns are just so on point with the story and action from the clip..
ONE is a masterpiece! A truly powerful song that not only shows Metallica's prowess for song writing, but also their mastery of their instruments. It anchors a catalog of music by them that is truly incredible. Now that you have absorbed the lyrics, give the official video a watch. The imagery provides even more emotion to those lyrics, as they come to life right in front of you with what is being shown. Also, it is really cool seeing them just jamming. You won't be disappointed.
Metallica is one of the few bands that have really good full LP albums. You could react to so many song from Metallica, not only the famous ones. Keep rocking!
IT'S OKAY TO LISTEN TO THE STUDIO VERSION THE FIRST TIME. I WOULDN'T SAY YOU SHOULD REACT TO THE LIFE VERSION BECAUSE THE BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND THIS MASTERPIECE IS LISTENING AND WATCHING THE OFFICIAL VIDEO. YOU SHOULD WATCH IT, IT WILL BRING YOU ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE 🤘🏼🎶
Exactly. Sad thing about Metallica is that a lot of their amazing special songs don't really have the same punch and feel in the live version. The best example for that would be Fade To Black
Honestly, I'm glad you did the studio version with lyrics as your first listen through. Most people do the music video, and because there's a lot of talking and sound effects over the song in the music video, you can't quite hear everything quite as well. But now that you've listened to the studio version, checking out a live version is a good idea. One is definitely a top 10 Metallic song. I highly suggest reacting to Blackened and Harvester of Sorrow, which are both from the same album as One. Other great songs from them are The Four Horsemen, Fight Fire with Fire, Wherever I May Roam, Spit out the Bone, and Disposable Heroes. I'm digging your channel!!
“One” is a masterpiece. IMO the best song ever written, but at the least, the best metal song. What a joy to watch someone experience it for the first time. Kathryn if you ever get the chance to see them live, do NOT pass it up. Their music comes alive in a totally different way.
@@KathrynLayneReacts Seriously. Listen to this version 2 or 3 more times to get the feel for it, then please react to the official video. It's an absolute necessity and this track will never be complete for you if the video gets skipped. Back in the day, they said they would never sell out, and never make a music video. Well, they made their first video with this track, and spruced it up a little to appease the die-hard fans who didn't want their favorite band to make a mainstream video. I'm one of those who hated that they made a vid, but this was a very good compromise.
So glad you reacted to this song. Some people don't like reacting to the official video because they think it's distracting, but it really gives you a visual meaning of the song. In my opinion, it's the perfect metal song.
Totally agree with your methodology of doing studio versions with lyrics. It's closer to how us "old timers" did it; with just the audio and the liner notes that often accompanied the album/CD. That said, you do need to see the music video to this one as it is phenomenal and expands on the story of the song. It contains clips from the movie that was based on the book that inspired this song. 👍🏽😎
This song is based on the movie Johnny Get Your Gun. The music video, which is MUST SEE, incorporates some of the movie into it. It helps you understand the song more.
I prefer you do it this way as well. It's such a great song, and a live version would be fine, but as emotional and powerful as the music video is (which EVERYONE reacts to) I can't stand it. They add in movie clips (which has a purpose) but the film audio interrupts and plays over the music and that's annoying when I just want to hear the song. I would always recommend to someone who hasn't heard it to listen to the studio version first, then go and check out the music video. I think both pieces of art can be better appreciated that way. I was 4th row for Metallica back in August 1994, in Miami (the very last show on the Black tour) it's amazing to be a part of 30,000 people all singing along at times. I can only imagine how that feels to be on stage!
Trust me. When us as teens heard this...beauty, sadness and horror was hard to process. So usually we'd just headbang to the music and didn't focus as much on the lyrics. Some songs merited knowing the lyrics but back then it was about the music and how it made you feel.
Hi there, if you like goosebumps you have to react to the band Nightwish. Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013 would be a good starter or Storytime also live from Wacken 2013. Full body chills for sure🤘🤘😁😁 Greetz from The Netherlands
The official video would have provided more immersion, as it includes clips and audio from the movie "Johnny Get Your Gun". The visuals from the movie really add more punch to the lyrics, although some might argue that the dialogue is crammed in so close to the lyrics, just barely missing overlapping each other, that is can sound "cluttered" and sloppy.
The studio version is the best version of this song there is, IMO it’s never been done justice live. Other Metallica songs have great live performances, but I’ve never heard a satisfying version of “One” onstage. It’s cool to hear certain ones when James and Kirk traded solos, but overall, you made the best choice.
Metal in its own right helps us to voice the emotions we hold back. Metallica is one of those few Metal groups that can evoke emotional turbulence with so much of their music. This track was the 7 steps all rolled into one.
Imo. Is Metallica the perfect metal band. They don't give a fck what haters saying, they make there own thjing, and that's why i love them so much and to watch them again live in may at the third time. I hope you, that you react more to the Load/Reload stuff. It's just awesome. for example Bleeding me or The Outlaw Torn. \m/
A live video of this song doesn’t do it justice. Being in the crowd when you hear the helicopter and artillery shaking the stadium. No video can capture that.
Je réagis en français car je ne pourrais pas aussi bien m'exprimer en anglais. En espérant que tu puisses faire traduire ce que je t'écris. Tu fais vraiment bien d'écouter la version studio en premier, par la suite tu apprécieras davantage la version live. Je suis abonné à ta chaine parce que j'aime ton authenticité et la passion qui se dégage de toi quand tu réagis à la musique. À travers toi je revis le plaisir de découvrir Metallica pour la première fois. J'attendais que tu réagisses à One car si je n'avais qu'une seule chanson à faire écouter à quelqu'un ce serait elle. Next song please: Disposable Heroes would be great!!You are doing fantastic reaction!!
I don't understand this push for live versions, IMO the original studio versions are better in many ways, especially the solos are sometimes too "weird" as if the original ones from years ago were supposed to be "boring"? I recommend the song Orion (instrumental masterpiece)
When you get a chance, watch the music video. Even more emotional than the song by itself. This was their first ever music video released back in 88-89 (can't remember lol).
My head bobs the same way when that machine-gun beat kicks in. I feel this song in my soul. I was a combat medic in the Army and saw firsthand the effect of war casualties.
Thank you for doing the studio version!! Really! I don't like the live version at all. Very wise decision. Yes the song is emotional and that's why the music video is very distracting
If you like the driving riffs and drum breaks.... check out Megadeath's song Countdown To Extinction These are the metal songs that filled my early music years.
Imagine hearing One for the first time, I'm so jealous and happy for you, absolute masterpiece and another one Mustaine didn't have anything to do with.
In my opinion this is the best way to listen to this song. You can just listen to this master piece without getting confused by trying to keep up without the visual interference.
The original video has parts of the movie, Johnny Got His Gun, from 1971 you will understand the song a lot more. I remember watching them in concert and that same night is when the video was released. It took like a week for or so till I finally saw the video on MTV, back then when they actually played videos on that channel.
You should definitely react to the music video to understand the full concept of the song. If you like their war themed songs then "Disposable Heroes" is one you should react to.
Yes, it is much better to listen only to the music, particulary this song have a terrible videoclip that adds some dialogs from a movie in the middle of the solo.
Interesting facts about the riffs and drums, Lars and James said in interviews they wanted to simulate gunfire bursts with it, you can hear it clearly at 7:51.
Completely 100% Agree...ONE is my all-time favorite song..period!! Even after all these decades of listening to it, I still get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME...ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!
Master of puppets, enter sandman, one, call of ktulu, Orion, fade to black, unforgiven, king nothing, no leaf clover. Some of my favorite Metallica songs.
As amazing as this song is I believe it is one of the few where the video adds to the story. A total masterpiece! Another song you may want to check out is Rime of the Acient Mariner from Iron Maiden.
This is in my top 10 Metallica song list. However, my wife cannot listen to it. Her mother lost her battle with ALS years ago. She had to nurse her mother through it and at the end her mother couldn't talk or move anymore so this hits very close to the heart for her. I avoid the song like the plague when she is around (for obvious reasons) but I jam to it on my headphones or when I'm alone in the car ALL THE TIME. Classic Metallica is best Metallica.
My grand uncle was in the 1st world war. He survived wounded. Whole life traumatized. This song and 1916 by Motörhead are true anthems about the victims of the WW I.
Hello, yes it's one of my favorite tracks, I've been listening to them since their second album. Find the movie "Johnny got a gun" and you will understand why after watching the movie James Hetfield wrote this title. This film shows us the complete opposite of classic war films/hero propaganda because this is what war really is, a very hard film, to be watched long before going to bed because otherwise understandable insomnia but at least a film that does not don't foolishly give the idea that war is a great adventure. Sometimes we have no choice, there the "hero" would have chosen otherwise. Long discussion because at these times... But watch this film and you will understand a lot of things about "ONE" excellent title! Ps : Sorry for my mistake i translate with my Mac
Kathryn: BTW, this song is insanely gorgeous, just the INSTRUMENTS and the way.... I say this with every Metallica song....... Jason Newsted: I.........beg to differ. Sorry, can't help it 😜😁
The official video splices in sceens from the move "Johnny Got His Gun" an anti war movie regarding WWI. Defiantly check out the official video and the movie!!! both are really good. BTW this album got me through my HS years
I agree to what some comments have mentioned, the video for this song is a must watch and I encourage you to even have a reaction video to it. In fact I think you did yourself a favor by first hearing the song, because the video adds that much more emotional intensity to this epic peice :) P. S: I think Michael has a good music taste lol
I'm sure someone said it before, but this song was based off the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" from 1971.. Watch that film, then re-listen to this.. Sad meaning in the end..
Great job with your reaction and thoughts on the Song ONE bey METALLIC THE LYRICS ARE INCREDIBLE AND THE INTERMENTS ARE OUT OF THIS WORKD .I ENJOY THIS VIDEO BETTER THAN THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO.
Well I can easily say this is by far and away the best reaction I have ever seen to this or any song/video. I was young when this came out and loved it then, still do today. Great off the charts reaction!!!!!!
this song is based on a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun" - 1971 When they performed this at the Grammys they went from Metal kings to Metal gods! Oh and yes please please please please ORION!!!!
U should ALWAYS do any OFICIAL VIDEO (stream lyrics too on diff monitor)as it shows artists VISION or STORY as written. And the studio version of ANYTHING AJFA related sux due to lars n james egos in turning down the Basswork of Jason Newsted.
Glad to see someone react to the MUSIC and not to the VIDEO. Mostly everytime reactors do the mistake watching the video version first. The video version is great, but not for the first time because i think the video distracts from the music.
Yeah.....you should've watched the video. That's the best part. Seriously, you should go back and watch the video. It's the footage from the film and them gelling hardcore. It's great.
Metallica is the best band that have EVER EXISTED (to my personal opinion of course..). My fav has always be the first 5 albums..Kill Them All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice for All & 'Black' (self titled album Metallica + the cover is black - that's why we call it the 'Black' album). ALL the songs..I MEAN ALL OF THEM!!! are VERY2 GOOD & MINDBLOWING!!! I was very2 lucky to have the opportunity to see them Live back in 1992 at London..damn!! they blow my mind & still is till this very day. IF u dont believe me..u can watch some of their concerts live performance on youtube..Moscow..Seattle 1989..Purge & Binge..up till Live in Manchester in 2019 (i believe its 2019???). 40 DAMN YEARS++ & They are STILL SO VERY2 GOOD & INCREADIBLE PLAYING LIVE all this time. REMEMBER..they are 4 man's band & playing Live, THEY NEVER use extra sessionist!!! & the concert that i saw in London back in 1992..they played for almost 4 HOURS!!! IF u think this song 'ONE' studio version is so beautiful + amazing..the Live version is 10x better. I swear!!! ❤❤❤
Since you enjoy their musicianship, Orion is a must listen.
Also The Call of Ktulu or To live is to die 🤘🏼
Good call
live please
Yes
The song with no beginning and no ending… just a short clip that Cliff plucked from the music that’s floating around in the universe.
That song is a masterpiece, they way it’s start and ending, it’s so powerful. Probably one of the best songs ever!!!
Took the words right out of my mouth
@@metallicavoices Same.
Yep
THE best song ever.
truth
As a veteran, I cannot listen to this without bawling every time. But I love it.
yes i know what you mean , emotion is so strong the lyrics, we all as soldiers know a situation if u get me... it remind me of a good friend
he dident make it back..
veteran or a MIC employed child murderer?
This was Metallica’s Stairway to Heaven, or Hotel California, if you will - their magnum opus. Timeless metal classic!
Love this description
eeem they got like 20 of those bro
Was this Metallicas Master of Puppets?
@@Sassle16 Master of Puppets is more like Kashmir for Led Zep.
Great call, for some reason I always felt it was metals bohemian rhapsody with all the ups and downs and changes of pace
I'm so jealous of you.. I wish I could go back in time and hear this song again for the first time. It completely blew my mind the first time I heard it back in the day. It was wonderful reliving that feeling through you. The solo in this song is my favorite solo in all of metal. The whole song is a masterpiece.
Yes. Agree. Metallica has so many masterpieces.
Goosebumps to this day every time he yells "Landmine"
I have those last few lyrics on the back of my only band shirt. absolutely chilling words that depict the horrors of warfare and the consequences on humans
No matter what you are going through it could always be worse!!! A land mine could take your sight take your speech take your hearing yourarms your legs so don’t ever give up on life.
Remember, I can ALWAYS watch the music video and I plan to; but the first listen was important for me to listen to the MUSIC!
Yeah, video is huge!
Kind of an Epic Fail to do this reaction without the video for full experience.
Couldn’t agree more.
The video is too distracting.
You made the right choice. The video is great and definitely worth watching, but it does distract from actually listening to the music.
Love the videos! You should definitely check out Slipknot, some of their songs like Duality, The Devil In I, Dead Memories, Solway Firth, Vermillion, Nero Forte, Snuff, Psychosocial, Sulfur, Unsainted, etc have heavy messages in them, and the music videos are great. You should definitely check them out.
I have heard this song literally thousands of times and I still got chills right now.
The lyrics of this song send a different vibe compared when the song is watched with official clip..

Agreed. They have so many good songs. Is like somebody picked a few out of a hat to play on the radio, and forgot the rest.

Absolutely!
Can’t stand the official music video, steps on the music so much with the movie. Good one time to see it but not necessarily after that 1 time.
And if the song itself didn't give nightmares, the official video will.
Exactly. Sad thing about Metallica is that a lot of their amazing special songs don't really have the same punch and feel in the live version. The best example for that would be Fade To Black
Honestly, I'm glad you did the studio version with lyrics as your first listen through.

*Unfortunately this deserves a second reaction. A reacting to the music video will explain this tragic song more clearly*
“One” is a masterpiece. IMO the best song ever written, but at the least, the best metal song. What a joy to watch someone experience it for the first time.
Kathryn if you ever get the chance to see them live, do NOT pass it up. Their music comes alive in a totally different way.
It is the best song ever written. Period.
Now that you know the song you MUST see the music video version they filmed. It will change EVERYTHING!
Yes! I agree!
It's almost a different song. Definitely a different experience.
@@KathrynLayneReacts Seriously. Listen to this version 2 or 3 more times to get the feel for it, then please react to the official video.

STRONGLY disagree. Video distracts too much from the music. Great video once you've heard and understand the song, not for a first listen.
I do not believe the band was aware of this movie, when they recorded the song. ( Though obviously they were, when they did the video.)
@@robbob5302 James wrote the song AFTER watching the movie. Well documented.
@@grimtimr7795
I just checked Songfacts, and you are right. Except it was the book he read. Not the movie.
Metallica actually purchased the film rights of the movie Johnny Got His Gun so they wouldn’t have to pay royalties for clips playing in their video.
I prefer you do it this way as well. It's such a great song, and a live version would be fine, but as emotional and powerful as the music video is (which EVERYONE reacts to) I can't stand it.

Without the official clip you're missing out big time !!! BIG TIME !!!
Hi there, if you like goosebumps you have to react to the band Nightwish.
Ghost love score live at Wacken 2013 would be a good starter or Storytime also live from Wacken 2013.

I don’t know. The Seattle ‘89 version was/is amazing.
Metal in its own right helps us to voice the emotions we hold back. Metallica is one of those few Metal groups that can evoke emotional turbulence with so much of their music. This track was the 7 steps all rolled into one.

My Mt Rushmore Metallica tracks; One, for whom the bells till, bleeding Me and sanitarium.
Please react to ''Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky [Abbey Road Live Session]'' (make sure it's the live session)
NEVER react to live versions, ignore the comments. Awesome video, keep it up!
A live video of this song doesn’t do it justice. Being in the crowd when you hear the helicopter and artillery shaking the stadium. No video can capture that.
Agree 100%. First listen, always the studio version.
Two exceptions; Harvester of Sorrow and The Thing That Should Not Be. The "theatrics" of live performance are much appreciated in those two.
@@morkrazy 100%
I’ve never seen a live video that does justice to the performance. There’s no comparison.
I agree, but for Nightwish she should do an exeption.
FINALLY....a response to the song and not the video....Props!!!!

If you like the theme of this song then definitely check out “Disposable Heroes” 🤟🤟🤟🤟
I don't understand this push for live versions, IMO the original studio versions are better in many ways, especially the solos are sometimes too "weird" as if the original ones from years ago were supposed to be "boring"?
I recommend the song Orion (instrumental masterpiece)
I'd have loved to hear a rustic acoustic cover by Johnny Cash. Betcha it'd be soul crushing good and dour sounding.
When you get a chance, watch the music video. Even more emotional than the song by itself. This was their first ever music video released back in 88-89 (can't remember lol).
If you watched what you showed you didn't see the real heartjerking version with the kid in the hospital!
This song is a masterpiece
My head bobs the same way when that machine-gun beat kicks in. I feel this song in my soul. I was a combat medic in the Army and saw firsthand the effect of war casualties.
I love when these young adults hear real music for the first time from iconic bands of the 70's, 80's and 90's
This is the best Song from Metallica and the Second best is Nothing Else matters
Don’t do lyrics. You get ahead of the song and that sucks for a genuine impression of new music
Gotta check out "Fade to Black." It's from the Ride the Lightening album. It's just as deep, if not deeper, both lyrically and musically.
Thank you for doing the studio version!! Really! I don't like the live version at all. Very wise decision.
Yes the song is emotional and that's why the music video is very distracting
ive heard them live many times and they are amazing
she just had an ear-gasm
If you like the driving riffs and drum breaks.... check out Megadeath's song Countdown To Extinction These are the metal songs that filled my early music years.
Now watch the music video and see for yourself what the words to the song truly mean and what you missed.
Most of the time, the studio version is the best introduction to a song. There are exceptions, of course.
Can you imagine hearing that for the first time as an already pissed off and angst ridden 15 year old ? Metal was around but not like this.
Definitely gotta check out the official video, but I honestly prefer the studio version because the instrumentals stand out so much more.
I am glad you did not do the music video because I believe some of the movie out does the song and it's hard to understand the lyrics.
If you haven't reacted to master of puppets you really should
Imagine hearing One for the first time, I'm so jealous and happy for you, absolute masterpiece and another one Mustaine didn't have anything to do with.
Hiii you need to see the videoclip That is better to the solo in the start song and in the end.... need to see them
In my opinion this is the best way to listen to this song. You can just listen to this master piece without getting confused by trying to keep up without the visual interference.
The original video has parts of the movie, Johnny Got His Gun, from 1971 you will understand the song a lot more.

You should definitely react to the music video to understand the full concept of the song. If you like their war themed songs then "Disposable Heroes" is one you should react to.
Yes these 2songs mean A lot to me and Confusion to.
Yes, it is much better to listen only to the music, particulary this song have a terrible videoclip that adds some dialogs from a movie in the middle of the solo.
Yes
Back when this album came out was the why & when I got fully into metal.
Mine was the one before.
Justice was my first metal album and still my favorite
You got to do some Black Sabbath reactions ✌️
Interesting facts about the riffs and drums, Lars and James said in interviews they wanted to simulate gunfire bursts with it, you can hear it clearly at 7:51.
The oficial video of this song, ¡that's intense! You must see it
I can't get my eyes off your beautiful eyes.
In my most humble opinion this is better than the live version.
The official video adds a little impact to the song.
OMG
LOVE this lady!
So animated and so fun!
IDK this channel can’t be Kathryn’s first experience in front of a camera.
the world needs more women like you. (Y)
amazing song. I was lucky enough to see them in Germany during Monsters of Rock while I was in the military in 1991.
Literally number “one” on my all time songs list from any group out there. Masterpiece.
Completely 100% Agree...ONE is my all-time favorite song..period!! Even after all these decades of listening to it, I still get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME...ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!
That's what One really refers to. The number 1 song!
The part where he sings oh God wake me The additional audio being spoken in video really hits hard emotionally!
Master of puppets, enter sandman, one, call of ktulu, Orion, fade to black, unforgiven, king nothing, no leaf clover. Some of my favorite Metallica songs.
As amazing as this song is I believe it is one of the few where the video adds to the story. A total masterpiece! Another song you may want to check out is Rime of the Acient Mariner from Iron Maiden.
This is in my top 10 Metallica song list. However, my wife cannot listen to it. Her mother lost her battle with ALS years ago. She had to nurse her mother through it and at the end her mother couldn't talk or move anymore so this hits very close to the heart for her. I avoid the song like the plague when she is around (for obvious reasons) but I jam to it on my headphones or when I'm alone in the car ALL THE TIME. Classic Metallica is best Metallica.
Welcome to the Metallica family
You're funny \m/
First Metallica song I ever heard. Cotton Club in Atlanta. Was a fan instantly. Great song.
My grand uncle was in the 1st world war. He survived wounded. Whole life traumatized. This song and 1916 by Motörhead are true anthems about the victims of the WW I.
Check out Green fields of France by drop kick Murphy’s
and sabaton has some great ww1 songs too
ABSOLUTELY the right way on first listen. Incredible song. The story and official video is a whole pit of emotions itself.
Easily 1 of my top 3 songs of all time. Try Disposable Heroes next... you won't regret it.
Now we're talking!!! And Fade to Black
*The inspiration comes from the 1939 book; Johnny Got His Gun. Was also a 1971 movie...who's clips are in the 'Official Video.'*
Hello, yes it's one of my favorite tracks, I've been listening to them since their second album. Find the movie "Johnny got a gun" and you will understand why after watching the movie James Hetfield wrote this title. This film shows us the complete opposite of classic war films/hero propaganda because this is what war really is, a very hard film, to be watched long before going to bed because otherwise understandable insomnia but at least a film that does not don't foolishly give the idea that war is a great adventure. Sometimes we have no choice, there the "hero" would have chosen otherwise. Long discussion because at these times... But watch this film and you will understand a lot of things about "ONE" excellent title!
Ps : Sorry for my mistake i translate with my Mac
Hard music..
Spicy lyrics..
My favourite band.. that's METALLICA 👊🏼!!
Kathryn: BTW, this song is insanely gorgeous, just the INSTRUMENTS and the way.... I say this with every Metallica song.......
Jason Newsted: I.........beg to differ.
Sorry, can't help it 😜😁
Metallica never gets old.. Better and better with years, like a fine wine..
The official video splices in sceens from the move "Johnny Got His Gun" an anti war movie regarding WWI. Defiantly check out the official video and the movie!!! both are really good. BTW this album got me through my HS years
I agree to what some comments have mentioned, the video for this song is a must watch and I encourage you to even have a reaction video to it. In fact I think you did yourself a favor by first hearing the song, because the video adds that much more emotional intensity to this epic peice :)
P. S: I think Michael has a good music taste lol
Miss Jason. Wish I could've seen them back then. Seen them in 2018 and it was amazing. If you ever get a chance go see them. My fav band of all time🤘🤘
React ...guns and roses... paradise city, eagles... hotel California...many Rock and roll bands are there....
I'm sure someone said it before, but this song was based off the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" from 1971..
Watch that film, then re-listen to this.. Sad meaning in the end..
You should also check the four horsemen, whiplash, and seek and destroy AND creeping death live in moscow 1991
Great job with your reaction and thoughts on the Song ONE bey METALLIC THE LYRICS ARE INCREDIBLE AND THE INTERMENTS ARE OUT OF THIS WORKD .I ENJOY THIS VIDEO BETTER THAN THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO.
Well I can easily say this is by far and away the best reaction I have ever seen to this or any song/video. I was young when this came out and loved it then, still do today. Great off the charts reaction!!!!!!
this song is based on a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun" - 1971 When they performed this at the Grammys they went from Metal kings to Metal gods! Oh and yes please please please please ORION!!!!
Great reaction. Great fuckin song. I think you'll like a lot of Avenged Sevenfold songs.
Buried Alive or Afterlife would be a perfect start.
U should ALWAYS do any OFICIAL VIDEO (stream lyrics too on diff monitor)as it shows artists VISION or STORY as written.
And the studio version of ANYTHING AJFA related sux due to lars n james egos in turning down the Basswork of Jason Newsted.
Glad to see someone react to the MUSIC and not to the VIDEO. Mostly everytime reactors do the mistake watching the video version first. The video version is great, but not for the first time because i think the video distracts from the music.
not doing the official version you missed the whole story. You don't have to but i recommend redoing this with the official video
Yeah.....you should've watched the video. That's the best part. Seriously, you should go back and watch the video. It's the footage from the film and them gelling hardcore. It's great.
Metallica is the best band that have EVER EXISTED (to my personal opinion of course..). My fav has always be the first 5 albums..Kill Them All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice for All & 'Black' (self titled album Metallica + the cover is black - that's why we call it the 'Black' album). ALL the songs..I MEAN ALL OF THEM!!! are VERY2 GOOD & MINDBLOWING!!!
I was very2 lucky to have the opportunity to see them Live back in 1992 at London..damn!! they blow my mind & still is till this very day. IF u dont believe me..u can watch some of their concerts live performance on youtube..Moscow..Seattle 1989..Purge & Binge..up till Live in Manchester in 2019 (i believe its 2019???). 40 DAMN YEARS++ & They are STILL SO VERY2 GOOD & INCREADIBLE PLAYING LIVE all this time. REMEMBER..they are 4 man's band & playing Live, THEY NEVER use extra sessionist!!! & the concert that i saw in London back in 1992..they played for almost 4 HOURS!!! IF u think this song 'ONE' studio version is so beautiful + amazing..the Live version is 10x better. I swear!!!
