This is a great video. You guys nailed it!

Guys! You are amazing! Thanks for going so deep into this! This is really all that is about! Thank you from the deep of my heart!

[@henrydauseb2844]

You guys are one of the few reactors that got the meaning in the first listen. Watching the official video could be quite confusing, but you nailed it.

[@jasonhitchcock8911]

I was thinking the same thing. They actually got it from the start. Not many reactors get the meaning from the first listen. They focus on the song and miss the video, or focus on the video and don't pay attention to the lyrics.

[@Bl4ck0utr3b0rN]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@allensaunders449]

To many pauses though. True they were perceptive nice to see that

[@BlazeBuds]

I have found hardly anyone actually gets fade to black, hardly anyone clues on the first listen that the person does actually end their life

[@afastcuda1970]

Keep going with Metallica, there is so much to discover. P.S. Kirk Hammett the lead guitarist is half Filipino.

[@johnselwitz5362]

I’d say, anything after The Black Album... it would probably be best to stop discovering. Anything before that is absolute brilliance

[@afastcuda1970]

[@Docthecowboyoperator]

The movie in this video is “Johnny Got His Gun” fantastic movie. Check it out if you haven’t seen it. Basically they are convinced he’s brain dead and experiment on him. But he isn’t and can’t communicate. Powerful film and matches the song perfectly

[@chad_holbrook]

Prior to the movie there is a book of the same name by Dalton Trumbo. I've heard contradicting information: the song is based on the book or the song was written and then they found out about the book. There is a scene when the military officer says to the doctor, "he is a product of your profession, not mine". It is the medical professionals keeping him alive.

[@emozolimoragonzaleztapia7966]

Thanks for yours information..

[@rofyle]

I have the book. It's called Johnny Got His Gun, and it was written by Dalton Trumbo. It is still in print, so you can still buy it. The book is about a WW1 soldier who loses his arms, legs face in a mortar explosion. He survives, but must be kept in an iron lung for the rest of his life. He cannot walk, talk, touch, see, hear or smell. He is perfectly conscious though and still of sound mind. The book first takes the reader into Johnny's mind and thoughts as he struggles to make sense of the incomprehensible darkness he finds himself in. The doctors believe he is brain dead, but he's not. Eventually, Johnny remembers how his father taught him Morse code. He uses Morse code to tap out a simple message by banging the back of his head against his pillow. S-O-S (which means help). A nurse spots him and after a moment recognizes what she is seeing. She responds to his silent cry by tapping a response on his chest with her hand. This is how Johnny and his nurse begin to communicate. Eventually, Johnny is able to communicate a message through his nurse to the general who had come to visit him. He asks the general to take him to Washington DC where he wants to then force all the politicians, the public and the media to look upon him and see for themselves what war does to people. But the general says no, and then leaves him alone in the dark with his nurse to never be heard from again.

This is Metallica best song in my opinion.

HArd to say, they have soooo many hot stuff! :D I prefer "Wherever i may roam" and "For whom the bell tolls"! ANd of course the alltime classics Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters!

Thank You for taking the time to understand the song and the meaning behind of the video.

[@BlazeBuds]

25 years after first seeing this clip and song, still my favorite song ever made by a long shot. Honestly never really payed as much attention to the drums as guitar as its insane, but now you bring up the drums, yeah they are all crazy lol

[@crazexskater]

A very unique and thoughtful reaction. He was trapped in his own body, in horrible pain, not even sure if he was awake or dreaming.

[@TritoneChris]

Every Metallica fan that watched this reaction was smiling/crying/fist pumping...you guys are one of the few that completely nailed it, you got the depth of the message and the power of the song, awesome!!!

[@MetalMcfly]

I must give you absolute respect. You two listened very intently and very focused to the message being conveyed. It shows me that you were invested in the song and that the reaction you are giving was genuine. You are truly learning about the history of rock and metal simply by paying attention. So many times we see people just headbang through a song while staring into their camera instead of what's on their screen just to get a click and they could care less about what they are really reacting to (bandwagoners). I watched a few videos of yours tonight and you guys have earned a new sub. Keep enjoying the road you are on with this metal experience because it gets much more deeper and much more exciting. /cheers!

[@cadifferentreactions]

hell yeah, thanks buddy!!

[@bryanbyars8142]

The movie is called Johnny Got His Gun. You're right, the nurse was trying to kill him but was interrupted. He shoved her out of the room, shut the window blinds and the door behind him as he left. Now he was all alone, left in his eternal darkness. It's a great but sad movie.

[@stigpetersen9701]

You are in the process if being addicted to the greatest band ever….Metallica 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘……they have 75 bangers waiting for you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥….and just 9.6 ????….listen to the audio version without the videoclips and you will upgrade it to a clean 10

[@dancing_odie]

In the movie, his only source of information was from the sunlight hitting his face, allowing him to keep track of the days. In one scene, the nurse traces the words "Merry Christmas" on his chest, and then he could tell WHAT day it was. When she tries to kill him and the doctor stops her, he bans her from seeing him anymore and locks him away in the dark for the rest of his life. He didn't want to admit that the Army doctors messed up.

thank you for commenting, your english is great!

[@Bryan-T]

I like how amazed he is to see a drummer use two kick pedals. You have much to learn, young one.

[@garyrobb5341]

I just watched you again. Like the other comments said, you understood this better than any reaction I’ve seen. They kept him alive for religious reasons since euthanasia wasn’t allowed. Also for medical reasons. That is, ironically, they were proud of having saved his life despite the massive injuries. I don’t believe the book made it plain but implied that he “lived” for decades. Truly a horror story.

[@robertbecerra1019]

You’re some of the only ppl that I’ve watched that completely understood the song and appreciated the music while seeing it the first time! Very impressive

[@dankvibezz4296]

Yall are the first ones I've seen who nailed it and understood what this song actually meant and I respect that!!!!!

According to the movie, they were using him for experiments, thinking he couldn't feel anything. The nurse tried. The officer stopped her.

[@timm2428]

Know this if from a year ago but hope you see this, so 3yrs ago I was rushed into emergency surgery as my bowels were totally blocked. I spent over 10 hrs on the slab and what most dont realize is the table you really get operated on is a hard plastic slab not the bed you shift to. Ontop of my problems with with my intestines my backs totally shot so those 10hrs on a hard plastic slab played mary hell on it so that by the time I got out of the OR I had the pain of not only having most of my large intestine taken out my back was totally shot and seizing. The pain from my stomach causing my back to tense up and the pain from my back causing my adbomin to seize up. Both feeding the pain that wouldnt stop. I spent 24hrs screaming until I couldnt scream anymore and my voice gave out and I just wanted to die. I still relive that day and night in my dreams and in waking flashbacks. Medical trama causing my ptsd.

[@CrueHead18]

The best reaction to this song, by far. Great job you 2!

[@ChadCarlisle]

If you will be thinking about this for weeks than they did their job well. The story is based on a book called "Johnny Got His Gun." Check out their song Creeping Death next.

[@mattordiway8631]

I have watched that video hundreds of times and never noticed that at the end. That's why I watch these reaction videos. Sometimes you see stuff you missed and the reaction to the music I grew up on by younger people. Glad they enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for sharing your reactions.

This was my favorite song as a child. At the same time, society was telling me that heavy metal was senseless noise, evil, or stupid.

That sound Lars did with double bass . Its actually the Morse code . They talk about . Father and son . S.O.S help . A soul trapped inside rest of the body asking for help asking for death (freedom)

This song is based on the book Johnny got his gun by Dalton Trumbo it’s an anti war novel that goes through this soldiers life I believe after the land mine took all of his senses it’s a very tough book to get through

The army guy who puts him in the room is a Priest 'padre'. So he has to keep him alive, they don't believe in euthanasia. I remember when this came it out, didn't have the video but took awhile to understand. Used to listen to it in my car, sounds awesome when bass goes through you.

There are a few current singers that everyone should check out such as Dimash, Diana A., and Pentatonix who are all very different and great in their own way. Another is the jazz-influenced Angelina Jordan, one of the best female singers ever, and she is only 15. It doesn't matter if you check out her performances when she won Norway's Got Talent at 7 and 8 years old or her newest original song 7th Heaven recently at 15 they are all amazing. Suggested starting points of her 100's of videos: "I Put a Spell on You" at age 9 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU "Fly Me to the Moon" at age 8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHOqfoRvgN1sn6s or "7th Heaven" at age 15 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH6bda2Dh8ecf8U
