FIRST TIME ANALYSIS | Metallica - "One" (Official Video)

[@Yetireacts419]

I have watched 2 dozen reactions to this song and every god damn time I break and cry! The video is so strong

[@robquires72]

Damn!! Same as me

[@SpaceJaicen]

Totally agree . Breaks me down !

[@GROND15]

I think in every reaction video I've seen the reviewer sits stunned into silence and then says something like, "Wow" or "holy shit". And yes, I have the same reaction as you.

[@ryanjohnson7245]

Same

[@kaxe666]

Read the book, it's so much worse

[@pauljansen1137]

This song came out when I was a Teenager in the late '80s......I was no metal fan but became one after listening to the first 4 Albums made by Metallica....Masterpieces...each and every one of them!!!

[@daveb8559]

Completely agree. Every song from the first 4 albums.

[@stephen9302]

"One" is Metallica's best video (and guitar solo) , in my opinion 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@chrisumana7644]

The best thing about Metallica in the 80s is they let the instruments do the talking with is a tragedy you don't really hear songs like For Whom The Bell Toll, Disposable Heroes, and One anymore

[@Sabru1985]

80s Metallica is my favorite metal

[@Metal_Mary]

I was 17 when killem all dropped! I agree best 4 albums! Cliff was imo the glue to Metallica, rip Cliff 🙏 they just weren't the same after! The Black album is okay, but totally different then the first 4 Albums. I do love Nothing else matters, Sad but true & a couple more. I've been lucky seen them 5x with and without Cliff, although I love ❤️ Jason, Cliff was the Conductor in my opinion. Forever missed 🙏 🎼🤘❤️‍🔥🖤

[@clonexx]

The lines : “If I had arms, I could kill myself. If I had legs, I could run away. If I had a voice, I could be some sort of company for myself.” They just hit hard.

[@imjonathan6745]

things can always be worse than you might think

[@clonexx]

@@frankiek2269 Yeah, the movie name is Johnny Got His Gun, sort of a tongue in cheek reference to the original Johnny Get Your Gun. And yes, they bought the rights to the movie so they didn’t have to pay royalties. Seeing how obscure the movie is, I’m sure the rights weren’t all that expensive. Especially since they still really weren’t very wealthy when AJFA and the video for One came out. It wasn’t until after they headlined their Damaged Justice tour, and especially after they toured for 2 1/2 years straight for the Black album, that they really got stupidly wealthy.

Ms. Aileen, you were nearly in tears at the conclusion of this song. That means you're very emotionally receptive to the art. That is beautiful. Happy Holidays!

[@codysmith66]

Her father if i recall, served for a while so she can connect to the imagery shown. Same for when she reacted to a few Five Finger Death Punch songs. If you are an Empath, or can connect, it hits you pretty hard. I myself look at this(and many other military related songs) differently since i joined. Just hits different now.

[@0cosmic]

This nurse in this is my hero, she wanted to do the right thing

[@mrmiller5150]

This is actually my favorite Metallica song of all time, from my favorite Metallica album. The video clips you're seeing were from a 1971 movie called Johnny Got His Gun. A few months ago I finally saw it for the first time after hearing about it for decades. I'm man enough to say that I cried like a baby at the end of the movie. The end result for the main character (the one in the hospital bed) is truly horrifying and hopeless. It shook me for months.

[@slappyslappenheimer8046]

I watched the film once back in the early 90's and I don't think I'll ever watch it again. It is a heart wrenching movie. I cried a lot as well.

[@Mattical1980]

Jason Robards is good in it. It's one of those movies that's almost forgotten but shouldn't be.

[@robertcampomizzi7988]

I've been meaning to watch the movie since the cool new kid came to school and told a few of us about it. Maybe I'll make a point of watching it over the holidays(finally)

[@bryanbyars8142]

I watched it about a year ago. God bless that nurse!

[@jimbojizums]

Johnny got his Gun is beautiful, sad, desperate, fantastic, and absolutely horrifying. I've watched it many times and it still makes me feel hopeless.

[@shanedalton990]

Don't care what people say, Lars is an amazing drummer... Off beat bass drum is insane

[@sirzechsazazel1150]

To be fair, people never say this about Lars' first 10 years. Its about everything after the mid 90s.

[@NewYorkCity_street_interviews]

Some people are so fool, they thing that if you play faster then all you are better , for example , pantera , dont mean shit to me , their music got no message and got no soul , lars did and doing his job , being part of best band ever , playing real music which is international

[@Unofficial1998]

The "Goodbye Father" line will never cease to get me in the feels. The delivery of it sounds like a man who finally has closure and peace after suffering for so so long.

[@andpyramids]

Not closure, just resignation to his fate. He realizes no one is coming to help him.

[@earthboundmother205]

I’ve said this in different One reactions before, but I was playing One on my stereo when my grandfather walked in. ‘Hon,’ he said. ‘It sounds like yours friends were in a war.’ My grandfather had served in World War II and he just opened up to me about his experiences after hearing this song. It was truly beautiful. Their symphonic concert was his favorite after that ♥️

[@artmeddaugh6669]

My Grandpa's younger brother, Arnold, fought in WWII and Korea. He came back from both wars in one piece. In 1978 he had a work accident where a whole bunch of stacked doors fell on top of him, which gave him brain damage and left him in a coma. He was in that state for 10 months and the doctors told our family he probably would never wake up. I was five years old. My Grandpa decided to pull the life support plug shortly after. I remember sitting on this man's lap feeding him grapes when I was four, then months later I was at the hospital in the waiting room not understanding what was going on and not understanding why I couldn't go see him. Ten years later this song and this video came out, and it reminds me of my uncle Arnold every time I watch the video. The ...And Justice for All tour was my first time going to see Metallica live in concert. The raw power and emotion of "One" when they played it on stage, I can't really even explain it, but it was beautiful and sad all at the same time.

[@ericnelson7524]

This video has ALWAYS had a MAJOR impact on me since i am a veteran and exactly like you said, when you really watch and listen to it,it puts you in the dynamics of what that poor guy is going through. I've literally seen this video HUNDREDS of times and it hits me EVERY time. Of course the song musically is just so BADASS too! Thanks for the great and sincere reaction to this.

[@MadHatterND]

Cannot be better said!

[@deannatyler880]

Thank you for covering this. It hits hard being a military wife and having to try to keep those visuals out of my head when my husband is deployed. It really puts things into perspective and I hope more people can appreciate what our troops and their families are sacrificing.

[@ericwilson5453]

[@SteveSmallwoodthemachine]

One of the greatest and most impactful music videos ever done. An absolute masterpiece in every way!

[@richardbrown2138]

No matter how many times I watch this video, it's still very disturbing for it shows the horrors of war! It gives you a deep feeling that you appreciate the freedom that we enjoy because others laid their lives on the line for us! Thank you for reviewing it! 🤘🎸🇺🇸

[@Humstuck]

I will venture a guess that you are from the United States or a very patriotic country? Im sorry but its not about freedom, almost ever. Most of the time its about ressources others have. I respect the people who fight a lot even though they bought the bullshit they are being sold. "freedom" is an illusion. If you are from the united states. If you don't have money, you aren't free to do anything you want. It shouldn't be that way.

@@AileenSenpai Metallica bought the rights to the movie Johnny Got His Gun so they could use the scenes from it in the video, it was cheaper that way, they would have ended up paying out of pocket every time the music video aired if they hadn't

[@TheMajorActual]

_"One"_ is a song that you will headbang to in the car or in the club, but no one actually understands it until they see the video. The background movie is _Johnny Got His Gun (1971),_ which along with _All Quiet On The Western Front (1979),_ is one of the most impactful anti-war films ever made....This song is one of the reasons why 1975-1990 is probably the best 15 years of American music.

[@Lance-b4i]

The 1930 original All Quiet on the Western Front hits me so much harder. Although the 1979 version is great as well.

[@paulwhitman3922]

This version is a strong emotional statement!!!!!!!With the video and story if it doesn't hit your heart ♥ your not alive. Great reaction you kept it real 💯

[@Deegee_1969]

The video, when it was first released, was a real smack in the face. The setting for the band, the choice of the video being almost all monochromatic, the jarring film clips scattered through the video, this video was truly one in a million. And still is, from when it was released back in 1989 to today. I didn't care much for the whole album to be honest, its sound was missing something (turns out it was the bass guitar that was toned down in the mix for some reason), but this track stood out. There's another react video to this song on KZbin, and one of the reactors(?) laughed all through the video. The guy had no grasp on why there's film footage throughout the video, and couldn't understand why it's one of Metallicas greatest tracks, saying that it took ages to 'get going'. It takes all sorts, I suppose.

[@fredbarnes2600]

Nope you're not wrong. This was their very first video. The movie scenes are from Johnny Got A Gun. It was really groundbreaking both for the storytelling and for the fact it was really the first time a seriously heavy metal band made a production music video on a grand scale. Great reaction!

[@XSilverWolfX]

One tidbit I love about this whole song is that Metallica actually bought the rights to johnny got his gun just to make this video, and they nailed the entire feel and helplessness of the mood.

[@jasonmfshow]

I have to give you praise for actually paying attention. I've seen a few reactions to this where they are just clueless, and continue to try and bob their head to the beat and act like they get it. You 100% understand the story, so much respect to you!

[@FamilyGuyRoks6]

You are correct. The movie these clips are from is called "Johnny Got His Gun" which is an anti-war film based off of the novel of the same name written by Dalton Trumbo. The story follows the injured man Joe Bonham and his experience with being trapped inside his own head with no way of communicating with the outside world. The main moral conflict being whether to keep him alive, living in his own hell or to grant him the gift of death. He eventually communicates with the doctors using the Morse Code and asks for them to kill him, but they end up ignoring his requests and forced him to remain alive... It is truly some disturbing but very powerful stuff. Highly recommend both the film and the novel

[@TheGitzserEvolution]

you can hear that Lars is doing the morse code for "kill me" aswell

This was the first song by Metallica I heard, back in the 80's. I was into Poison, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Tesla, White Lion etc etc etc. But then one day, on the Much Music Power Hour, with our host JD Roberts. The Canadian Premiere of Metallica's FIRST official video. They had never made videos up until that point. I was intrigued. So, I watched. It was heavier than what I usually listened to. But I FREAKIN' LOVED IT! The song itself, was kinda dark, damn right depressing. But the musicianship that was displayed to me? Amazing! Next day, I went to Sam The Record Man and bought all 4 of their albums. The rest as they say is history. I enjoyed your reaction, your analysis was spot on. This song hits hard to begin with. But it definitely hits "different" with the video behind it. Keep up the GREAT work and ROCK ON! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Brosati68]

I’m 26 and I remember hearing this when I was 15 and my step dad (big Metallica fan) told me people were pissed when Metallica came out with a video for a song and that baffles me because this video makes this song hit so much harder ❤️

[@JariJuslin]

I understand there was no way in hell for a metal band to get permission to use the movie, so they just bought all rights to the whole movie. It was a 1970s flick, and not that much of a blockbuster, so I assume it was not *that* expensive.
