[@christophermastrocola3048]

Even if you choose not to do a reaction, I strongly recommend the official video. There is a movie sectioned into the video telling a more complete story. Its a lot to take in for a first listen, but adds immensely to the song. And honestly the musical performance is FAR better.

[@The_Jasonian]

Agreed on both counts. Kirk and Lars sound incredibly sloppy.

[@seankeeney8704]

Agreed. PLEASE watch the original video. So much better

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Yes the original video is a must--classic and super powerful

[@Stormz.1337]

What he said! Please, all like that comment to upvote.

[@aaronrevak]

Totally agree 👍🏻💯🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@johnchauvin2183]

This is one of those songs where the official music video is a must. It is still a powerful and moving song, but the official video only enhances it even more.

[@scottprice8994]

Agreed. Watch the video to better understand the song.

[@oldmangimp2468]

Even when they play it live, there is a certain point in the song in which I will forever hear Jason Robards say "He is the armless, legless wonder of the 20th Century!" . . . "Death has a dignity all its own."

[@billbrasky1288]

The fact that you know his name is impressive.

[@TheRealAb216]

a version is on youtube that has parts of the 1982 transformers movie in with the voices of Lenard Nimoy and Orson Wells and it works so well.

[@ReedFlom]

Now that you are familiar with the song and it's origin story I recommend a follow up reaction to the office video. The visuals are intense.

[@TedRader]

Those "office" videos are the best 😂

[@venon4575]

​@@TedRader i love the office!

[@branthemuffin5872]

Hopefully Britt reads the comments. The music video is a MUST

[@CitizenScorn]

To the guitar pick question: it's not that they like "use up" or "go thru" so many during a performance, but they're nearby because there's I highly likely chance you'll drop one or maybe even just straight up break it depending on the music you play lol so they keep more very close by 😊

[@Avathor73]

And inbetween they throw some to the audience/fans. ☺

[@pamagnolia]

This was so incredible. The official video is intensely emotional.

[@timlloyd1454]

I agree the original version with the video and back ground effects make this song Alot more powerful👍👍

[@greendragonpublishing]

I agree that knowing the back story on this definitely increases the power. If there was a way to combine the interview backstory and the original studio version of many songs - the best of both worlds!

[@chlupl]

This is one of the joys of reaction channels where one is knowledgeable and the other being introduced. They often pick the main video and one can fill in some of the details along the way.

[@CybermanBill]

You NEED TO WATCH THE ORIGINAL VIDEO FOR THIS, not live, (should have done video on remember when also)! They add voice over and movie clips from the movie he wrote this song about!! The original video would make u understand the song way more!? It’s very emotional!!

[@gunz2090]

Good Morning Britt. You should watch the original video for this great Metallica song. Very cool.

[@branthemuffin5872]

Gotta watch the music video now! Adds a whole other dimension to the song

[@robgoodman7303]

The song gave me chills the first time I heard it and it still gives me chills now. A true masterpiece. Absolutely do yourself a favor and watch the music video. That is the way I first heard/saw it and the visuals give a whole extra level to this song. It's a shame that as good as this was he messed up the lyrics of the first part of the fast section, and you still felt it! I loved seeing you feel this song for the first time!

[@mpierce3]

First the picks are there in case they drop, lose or break one and also back in the day it was customary for them to throw a ton of the picks out to the crowd during the concert I think it was Kiss that started to have special ones made up for every tour like a souvenir if you got one.

[@rudybrito5471]

I think the actual video is done so good they capture the feeling really well. I think it's put together very good and you get the little extras in the father talking with the nurses and doctor. It's really insane..

[@jamesrh9193]

"Now that the war is through with me. I'm waking up, I cannot see. That there's not much left of me. Nothing is real but pain now" "Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell" This is about as anti-war as a song can get. Hetfield did a marvelous job with the melody and lyrics to make a masterpiece.

[@Hili47]

The movie's called "Johnny Got His Gun" from '71 based on the novel by Dalton Trumbo by the same name. The novel was based on a true story about a Canadian soldier during WW1. That's the movie in the music video. I made the mistake of watching that nightmare fuel when i was kid, and it's given me a lifelong fear of being locked in my mind because i can't hear, move, or speak.

[@davidj161]

Unfortunately James forgot the lyrics to the middle of the song. Sometimes that happens to him live but it’s important for the context. The middle verse that he forgot is “darkness, imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror, I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself, body my holding cell”. And the next part is what he sings twice by accident which explains the landmine has taken his legs eyes arms etc. but yes this is such a powerful song and if you watch the original video to this song it’s very heartbreaking because they play clips from the movie about the soldiers that’s trapped inside his body and he just wants to die and he can’t.

[@MMMRATTY]

"How many guitar picks does a guitar player need?" The answer is yes. They break easily if you're playing hard, you lose them if you're sweating, and yeah, you give 'em to fans.

[@TheLifesentence2278]

I used to go to sleep every night to this song, partly because it was the only cassette I owned but also because I loved it.

[@HiFiMonki]

The song is a lot more literal than you think. The book is about a solider who lost his limbs face and ears to an artillery shell and wakes up in a hospital not knowing where he is or if he is even alive. (Across enemy lines too, since he has no literal identity no one knows who he is.) The book then goes in chronological order as he recounts his most precious memories and how he got to where he was, it then jumps back and forth from his memories to his current situation where he is trying to understand what's going on. Once he comes to the realization its actually a pretty painful read since he has no way of communication. I mean obviously it can mean different things to different people but I thought I would put into context the story the song is based on. If you like reading I highly recommend it. Also thanks for the video! This has always been one of my favorite Metallica songs.

[@thedrummerking13]

Thanks for giving love to the drums Britt ❤❤🥁🤘

[@ZoilStar]

The drum beat in the song the double bass is one of the most famous beats in Metal history.

[@saraharmstrong1577]

Metallica is one of the greatest bands in the world. Even today, they sell out stadiums and put out more energy than most modern performers. If you're looking for another reaction for them, I would suggest Enter Sandman or Creeping Death from 91' live show in Moscow. It was a historical moment after the fall of the soviet union, and the crowd was probably one of the largest you will ever see.

[@tomjubell5749]

Now that you've come around to Metallica you have to listen to "Nothing else matters" and then Listen to the cover of the same song by Chris Stapleton. It's amazing to hear the original followed by the tribute.

[@traviscrockett3640]

You can hear the bass! Different than album version. Honestly this performance of it is really really good considering their ages and what a fast song it is

[@alastairnyght]

On your question about the guitar picks, sure some break but think about the heat on stage with all the lights and everything shining on the performers. They of course get sweaty and a small bit of plastic can easily slip from your fingers. Can't stop a performance to go after a pick on the ground, so it's much easier to have as many as you can put on the mic stands that way you avoid any potential problems. Doesn't mean you're gonna use them all, but having extras doesn't hurt. They'll also occasionally give them out to fans throughout the show. So there's a lot of reasons to have so many.

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

They throw a bunch into the audience as souvenirs as well.

[@markpaweena781]

For early metallica always use the Seattle 1989 concert. Phenomenal

[@joseesparza7488]

That is their best live show caught on video. No doubt.

[@krw73]

In the video, they show clips from the movie where you can see the patient struggling and the intensity of the music builds up as his frustration escalates. The rapid fire of the drums are meant to sound like machine gun fire. The chaotic guitar solo is meant to mimic his mind spiraling out of control. What makes Metallica great is that the music itself supports the story.

[@Bikebrh]

A lot of guitarists will have a bunch of picks racked along the bottom of their guitar. At the most extreme end, I saw the late, great Dick Dale in concert a couple of times, and he would go through several picks in the course of one song! His roadie would reload him every few songs. I am sure there are others who make it through a whole show, depending on what their picks are made of. Also, I agree with everyone who recommends that you watch the original video. It's one of the few videos that actually adds to the song.

[@hunterhitch2858]

The original video for this is one of the greatest videos ever made. A must see!

[@grahamvarey1144]

The actual video would honestly give you the best understanding, bc the visuals are so perfect

[@darrellcabral1377]

The guitar picks question, it's a just-in-case. When you're playing under Hot lights you sweat and picks fly and are lost forever... Like missing socks from the dryer.

[@JP8Mate]

Amazing song from an amazing band. Nuff said

[@CitizenScorn]

Good catch on the kick drum. It's meant to sound like quick busts of ammo, like in war. Great inclusion to the song.

[@stpetie7686]

Holy moly! Neil Diamond, Jim Reeves and Metallica? How is it possible to not love this channel and this woman? Edit: At some point you really need to see the video for this song. Metallica bought the rights to the movie Johnny Get Your Gun so they could use scenes for the video.

[@Transitcat]

I’m not sure where to post suggestions but there is an amazing song by a band called Bloodywood. It’s called Machi Bhasad. A fusion of heavy metal and traditional Indian instruments. Truly an outlier on my playlist but very catchy!

[@Todrick451]

"is that the kick drum.... I dont know if you all can hear that.... it's really coming through...." Absolutely anyone who's heard 'One' before: "Oh girl... just wait.... you have no idea."

[@brianoreilly3035]

Yes on the back story. Btw that Gibson Explorer is the same make Lzzy Hale gifted to Dani (the warning) on stage. More story details translate in the origional video. But the interview was awesome. Thanks for more awesome reactions

[@chriscontino6670]

Btw, speaking as a guitarist, the picks don't break, but it is very easy to drop it and when you're mid-song, you don't exactly have the luxury of stopping to look for it!

[@tonydelapa1911]

This was great. Also, I like what you said here and have alluded to in other videos about backstories, long intros (take me on a journey), and (often) lyrics and the craft of song writing. Thank you, Britt.

[@Rick_McKee]

Watch the official video now that you’ve seen this. They way the sync the music with the movie is amazing. Gives you more insight also.

[@ChristopherGoofballRoach]

Gotta see the video now.

[@heetcrusher2880]

Unfortunately sometimes children get their soul broken that can never heal. But some of them go on and do the best they can.

[@AB-C1]

YOU HAVE to watch the OFFICIAL VIDEO! ITS A MASTERPIECE!! TELLS THE STORY VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY! It's a REAL DEEP Journey! TOTALLY different to just listening! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@thomasdigianni9772]

You need to watch the official music video to get the full effect of the song

[@acebongboy]

I still have this on vinyl somewhere. Haunting at times. Gotta watch the official video though.

[@venon4575]

3:38 As a guitarist, its just a part of playing instruments. We fidget our instruments when we're either talking or listening lol

[@airbrushaaron666]

Q: How many picks do the guitarists need? A: All of them

[@branthemuffin5872]

Damn, I feel like a got blue-balled when James skipped the “Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see…” lines. That moment alone makes the original version better lol

[@dbcooper69]

The official video needs no explanation, it's deep, powerful and you feel it.

[@wfly81]

I think the other band members were fidgeting because of nerves. "One" is VERY difficult song to play. And it's actually easier to perform for a live audience of thousands than in a small room in front of a handful of people. So, I don't think they were getting impatient...just nervous.

[@ajg7783]

I agree w you 100% re Stern and the explanation of the themes behind the music, that being said the official vid is so impactful and deep that you should consider watching it also.

[@jaceyad1]

Great song...I agree with everyone else though, you gotta watch the official video. It's insanely good and emotional.

[@strahd1969]

Definitely watch the official video. It really makes a difference in understanding of the topic of the song.

[@FreeCanadian76]

no drummer left behind... when you watch "unleash the archers - awakening" YES!!!!!!!

[@MacTechG4]

This song *NEEDS* the video footage and clips from Johnny Got His Gun for maximum impact, especially the coda when the doctors realize what Johnny is tapping out in Morse code with his head…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX6bk4ead9hgmdk

[@CitizenScorn]

I'd probably thank Richard Christy for the cam on Lars' feet lol

[@mattm402]

It's been mentioned the offical video has clips from the movie Johnny Got his gun. It was based on a book writen in 1936 to oppose US involvement in what became WWII. The book follows the life of Joe Bonham, a young American soldier serving in World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being caught in the blast of an exploding artillery shell. He gradually realizes that he has lost his arms, legs, and all of his face (including his eyes, ears, nose, teeth, and tongue), but that his mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body. Now go back and listen to song from about the 11 minute mark. It's a killer.

[@ewrekzz7360]

They bought the rights to the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" so they could make the video - it is/was incredible view of war and its permanent damage.

[@eddieflores7613]

Her reaction 😁😁😁😁😁🥰

[@thomasdigianni9772]

This song is from my youth in the early 90's. Watch the official video

[@tomhelmsjr]

You really need to watch the official video. Whether you react to it or not. The live version is great but the music video is interlaced with footage from the movie “Johnny got his gun” which is based on the book that James Hetfield’s (lead singer) brother was telling him about. It’s an amazing story made even better by the visuals of the video.

[@PedroHernandez-xl8gw]

The drums are demanding on this song 🎶! Hear the album version he kills it!

[@The_Jasonian]

Many guitarists throw a lot of picks into the audience as souvenirs

[@mattjamison484]

Guitar picks come in different thicknesses. You use different picks to make slightly different sounds. Thinner picks let you strum faster, thicker picks let you pluck more precisely. That's most of the reason you see a lot of picks sometimes.

[@shmamycakes]

Thanks for going into this song... this Country / Country Rap fan for the most part always loves some Metallica!!! Lars Ulrich... One of the top 3 best drummers, IMO. (I was a drummer for 7 years, and have 4 famous... 1 infamous... drummers in my family as well.) Lars is a-freaking-mazing! 🥁

[@willwozniak2826]

I always thought Lars was pretty good....lots of people bash his drumming. They can all stuff it!....Lars got me motivated to play for the next 35 years......

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Omigosh, Britt….you gotta watch the official video! The lyrics will just mean such much more.

[@arnoldcox9128]

Gotta love the drummers they're the backbone of the bands

[@TedRader]

Official video was what you should have chosen...

[@svendemadsen8275]

Lars Ulrich Danish drummer co founder of Metallica along side guitarist James Hetfield. Fun fact Lars used to play tennis here in Denmark before moving to US. Imagine how many rackets he must have smashed ))

[@shure81]

6:30 you only "need" one pick, but they can get very slippery and become easy to drop. So if you drop one during a performance, it's 1000x easier to grab another one from the mic stand rather than trying to find it on the floor haha

[@mrbaddog4749]

Hey Britt, The guitarist Kirk Hammett's White Zombie guitar is a tribute to an old horror movie ( huge horror movie fan ). However there is a band called White Zombie, with great songs. Check out Thunder Kiss 65 from WZ. Total headbanger. Also if you want some more amazing drumming, check out Black Sabbath War Pigs.

[@wut274]

The bit at 13:14 had me cracking up so much Britt. ❤😂

[@MikeJG6453]

You would've understood it without the interview if you watched the original music video. The interview ads a little more to it though. Worth checking out the original video.

[@melaniegoldstein4396]

One of my favorite songs.

[@bioligique]

Love the drum love ❤️ as well as the excellent guitar 🎸 impersonation. 👍

[@petersanders3812]

The official video is a must watch it brings so much more to the song

[@donniesmith967]

They throw the guitar picks into the crowd thru out the show

[@jepito29]

Must watch the official video

[@randallbollinger9625]

Always watch the official video, of ANY musical artist(s), then branch out to the different versions. Please.

[@richardhenderson9767]

The original video will tell you the whole story about the movie "Johnny Got His Gun".... In pictures, and lyrics...❤❤❤ Older Metallica is my favorite, with Cliff Burton as the bassist... Please react to the Live version of "Anesthesia, Pulling Teeth"... It will help you see, just how incredible Cliff was... He tragically was killed in a bus accident September 27, 1986...😢😢❤❤ RIP Cliff...

[@matthewdooley7855]

Catch them doing "Whiskey in the Jar" live in Ireland. It's a centuries-old Irish song, and they thoroughly enjoy themselves.

[@jeffstrom164]

Hey, good on you for doinf the research, I like it. For most songs thats best. This one really shines with the official video, though. Adds so much emotion.

[@keithdillard8399]

As a guitarist picks slip from sweat and get dropped etc. I usually have 4 per set or 12 for the whole night. May not use them but better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Big time players use them and toss them to the crowd I have several Ive collected over the years

[@brianoreilly3035]

Thanks!

[@smittycal]

Honestly I’m glad you got introduced to this song this way with the backstory and information. The official video has a lot going on with it and a voice over that can be confusing. But hearing the song on its own is a good way to start, and then watch the video and hear the album version. Definitely worth checking out at some point.

[@WatchingPlantsGrow-si3qk]

Guitar picks needed = 1….. guitar picks wanted, and used if available = infinite

[@timothygustafson3944]

Chris Cornell covered this song and completely changed it up. It is an acoustic version where he used U2's song One music and sang Metallica's One's lyrics. It puts a whole other feel to the song

[@kevinmurphy2286]

Official video

[@krispykremekiller]

Bands have lots of picks because they give them away (or drop them)

[@aaronherbison7316]

Famous guitar players often throw their guitar picks into the crowd throughout the show so they don't want to run out 🤣 it's that simple

[@JariJuslin]

The kick drum pattern sounds quite a lot of like machine gun fire, which I think is not a coincidence.

[@sonofthesea3298]

Been a Metallica supporter since early teens give or take. As time went by i experienced that all the hard partying in the band,was not entirely because theese guys loved to drink. Some of them and especially James drank to forget,to silence and drown his inner demons. I also know that Metallica fans are insanely passionate good and bad. I notice all the urges to do the official music video,and i totally get why they say what they say. But let me go against the current here and praise you for doing this performance as a reaction. I listen to reactors and when you explain that you need theese beforehand interviews to understand the lyrics,i applaude you for doing something different. I grew up loving Metallica and f.eks Prince equally musicwise,and i got teased and bullied for listening to "p*ss* music",stuff like that. As i said,a passionate bunch in good and bad ways. Lars Ulrich on the drums tends to get alot of stick,most of it for things he said or did as much younger. I wish people gave him more props. He is known as The Danish Dynamite on drums. Born in Denmark but lived absolutely most his life in the states,chasing the dream of starting a band. Thats why he has zero amount of accent,eventhough he speaks both languages fluently. I think you are right in your observations lol. Kirk Hammet (lead guitar),Lars (drums) and Robert Trujillo (bass) has probably heard more then enough of James's trauma theese days. All they want to do is play😂 Although Robert and Kirk are very compassionate,and natural peacemakers as individuals. Lars and James were at eachothers throats alot right before and after James's treatment for addiction and theraphy sessions. But there lays a solid amount of brotherly love for eachother at the bottom in both. But they had the 2 biggest egoes when they were in theyr 20s😂 Metallica has suffered some really sad losses along the way too. Cliff Burton the original bass player died tragicly in a accident,and in came Jason Newsted,a fan of Metallica becoming a member. But with the band still griefing over theyr loss,they ended forcing Jason out of the band. I think thats when James realized that he needed help,when he made the second bassplayer and longtime friend leave the band. There is a good interview with Jason telling why he actually quit. And he builds it up perfectly, giving you a full insight in his time in the band. And i think James admitted stuff in theyr documentary (Some Kind Of Monster) that Jason told in his interview,so James basically backed up Jasons words. James explained that he loved Jason so much,that he "choked him into not leaving". Not literally but in his mind he was terrified of losing another member of the band. Thats why when they looked for a third bass player,Robert got a fullblown contract that specified that from the start,he would earn just as much as the others,he would have just as much power,creativity,freedom etc within the band as any of the others had. And he was paied highly as a bonus up front,to show him they were serious about it. Many says Metallica has fallen in quality with age,i say otherwise. They have grown as individuals,artists and a band with age!🥰

[@davidbradshaw2293]

Still need to watch the studio version to feel the realness of this masterpiece. Love your channel Britt! Keep on keepin on Queen🔥❤️

[@lakeit]

I added a FB comment on how to make a request for a PDC.. reminded me because of the machine gun style drums... I have a feeling you'd like some of the members of the band..

[@davidfischer1138]

The other members were hoping Howard doesn't interview them. He'll get stuff out of celebrities noone can

[@tazmom0]

Gotta see the official video. BTW, the drummer wanted his drums to sound like gunfire since it's an anti-war song.

[@stiofanmac]
