[@InnaSoloMusic]

Thank you very much for watching! ❤️ I’ll see you guys on twitch.tv/innasolo

Wow can't you actually see what this song is about

[@Mark-m5l7h]

This shit should have brought you to tears

For whom the Bell toll is one of the Best song Metallica have.

[@kupski1964]

Post world war 2 and what happened

[@JAMESlock1911]

This is an example of why I like Metallica more than other metal bands. I agree this is art. A musical masterpiece.

[@drunk-mangaming2744]

i love the way the drums immitate machine gun fire.......genius

[@fredrikengerholm]

I didnt even think of that thats sooo cool!!! 😱

[@BMXsXeCRX]

I remember when this came out… The drums are a mirror to the sounds of war including the bomb explosions, howitzer blasts and machine gun fire, relentlessly pushing harder and more violent as the song progresses - easily One of my favorite songs ever.

[@Tomekkplk]

The drums don't imitate machine gun fire what so ever.

[@NoelaAbarca-np3nz]

yes ! ..to me is THE MACHINE GUN IN WAR !..AND IF THAT SONG DONT HAVE THIS PERFECT DRUM WORK IT CAN BE THE ONE !.. period!! 🤞🏻⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️

[@dark.cheshire.1065]

Metallica's FADE TO BLACK is next if you want a song with heavy meaning. Listen to it. You'll know what it's talking about. Love watching someone experience "ONE" for the first time. Excellent reaction!!

[@christopherking4932]

Great suggestion

[@andrewcerberusok]

The best "power ballad" ever!!!

[@vals_loeder]

The lyrics of the song are based on the novel "Johnny got his gun" from 1939 by Dalton Trumbo. It is truly amazing book and I can highly recommend it. Based on the book also a movie was made, in 1971, which is also amazing. In this video you see scenes from the movie. In my humble opinion the song One is by far the best song the band made.

[@MorgothAce6099]

i was only able to watch this movie with frequent pausing cause hearing his inner monologue terrified me imagine you are stuck with your own thoughts and nothing but your own thoughts you have questions that need answering and the only thing to give you comfort is the occasional hug (or handj*b) from the nurse and if you ask me the nurse is a real angel in this movie

[@vals_loeder]

@@MorgothAce6099 That is also what made such a huge impact on me when I watched it for the first time and in hindsight at 12 I was too young to watch it actually. I never forgot it however and it did influence me how I perceived things like war and such.

[@chrisking6667]

Great film. I remember seeing it at 19 and thinking..."This armless, legless, faceless, voiceless, sightless cunt out here getting jacked off by nurses and I can't even get a txt back".

[@Shawn-mo6dh]

I'm gonna be a dick and nicpic but the lyrics are inspired by the movie not based on

[@jamescoleman8954]

Good movie to

[@lewistasso8866]

Inna, Metallica bought the rights to the movie "Johnny Got His Gun." It was a movie that takes place during WWI. So, there are clips of that movie throughout the video. The movie is about Joe Bonham, a young American soldier during World War I, that wakes up in a hospital bed after being hit by an artillery shell. He lost his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and limbs, but remains conscious and able to reason. He becomes a prisoner in his own body. So he drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and his girlfriend Kareen. He tries to communicate with his doctors by banging his head against his pillow in Morse code, spelling out "help". He requests for the Army to put him in a glass coffin in a freak show as a demonstration of the horrors of war. When this request is refused, he responds by repeatedly begging to be euthanized. The Army refuses that too. His sympathetic nurse attempts to euthanize him by clamping his breathing tube, but her supervisor stops her before Joe dies. Joe realizes that he will be forced to live out the rest of his natural life in his state of entrapment and is left alone, weakly chanting, "S.O.S. Help me." It is disturbing, but a great example of the costs of war. I will always remain politically neutral and will never fight for any government run by mankind in a war.

[@nicolasarevalo4682]

It was WW1 not ww1

[@lewistasso8866]

@@nicolasarevalo4682 Yes, like I wrote: WWI. Take another look at my post and you will notice. That is the way it was written and known. You can write it as WW1 as well, but WWI, like WWII, is the way it has been and still is written ever since.

[@Nick_the_Gold_Bach]

Thanks for the great writeup. ONE is also the title of a great little book by Richard "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" Bach, who examines the devastating effects of war through the ages. I am taking my time reading it, so I don't know what happens after he describes how the nuclear-saber-rattling actually resulted in the 3rd nuclear blast over a major city (I'm not going to plot spoil).

[@jasonlmeadows]

I remember watching the world premier of this video on Mtv's Saturday nigh show Headbangers Ball. It was my 2nd or 3rd year of high school. We were all talking about it at school on Monday. If you want to see Metallica at the absolute peak of their ability to perform then I suggest watching the 1989 live performance of the song "Battery" from their concert in Seattle. Its mind blowing!

[@Canadianfreedomfighter]

Please listen closely they explain it clearly, it's about war

[@KingRichard1013]

Well, mainly, it’s about the effects war has on a individual.

[@mokane86]

Well, mainly, it’s about being trapped as a prisoner alone in one’s own mind without any waking mobility, interaction, or sense perceptions.

[@michaelfredgren1342]

This song shows a physically damaged vet returning from war. The thing that is missed is that many vets are mentally damaged in the exact same way once they come back as well.

[@629GSMITH]

Drums are machine guns at times

[@michaelfredgren1342]

@629GSMITH Actually, at times, the drums are mimicking the SOS.

[@lttlejordan23]

ONE is an absolute masterpiece! From the lyrics, to the performance. It is the anchor to Metallica's extensive catalog of songs and shows their prowess for writing powerful tunes that resonate. Not to mention, it demonstrates their mastery of their instruments. This song in particular is all about the human cost of war. Profiteers, politicians and delusional romanticism of sending soldiers off to war, set the backdrop of a soldier trapped in a dark reality. This particular soldier (from the movie Johnny Got His Gun) paid the ultimate price. As long as someone else is paying that price, those that send these young men off to war don't care. Very heavy imagery, but it lends itself well to the song. So well thought out and performed by the band. Truly one of the most important songs written.

[@richardhenderson9767]

And Justice For All by Metallica

[@chevelle8091]

The fact they literally explain the meaning with scenes of a movie about a limbless, deaf, mute, and blind WWI veteran after an artillery strike, literally saying “landmine has taken…” and people still miss the entire point is wild

[@frankiek2269]

It is hard to follow. In a way. On a FIRST listen. Especially if English isn’t your first language. Remember, we all had the album [cassette tape] when this came out. And we were all surprised when the Music Video came out. Why? Because Lars’s a-hole self bragged about “never selling out, doing music videos”, just months before this came premiered. I hate the words SELL OUT when it comes to feeding your family. Of course they sold out. They aren’t stupid! “Oh, I want to be an underground band that scraped by.” Ridiculous!!

[@ericschaefer6769]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! GREAT REVIEW!!

[@JeremyMiller-sn6nh]

This video was my first Metallica experience when I saw it on MTV as a teenager. It had a profound impact on me that few song had before. The definition of Living Hell 😢. To think someone would have to endure so much. I have been a life long Metallica fan ever since. \m/💀\m/

[@markbrenner5713]

this song brings back powerful memories, some good, some not so good. still one of my favorite songs of all time. i'm also a combat veteran. i have seen the effects of war first hand..

[@wesdog8975]

The battle sounds at the beginning include the anachronistic sound of a Bell UH-1 Iroquois

[@thefalloutshelter7799]

for topics give Fade to Black a listen……..and Creeping Death is about a Bible story

[@jamescoleman8954]

Yeah, what happened to the dude in the movie was pretty freaking brutal. I don’t really say this, but he had his job blown off basically as I was blown out all that I mean it was brutal.

[@metalmamasue3680]

Fade To Black is a good one with deep meaning. Its also not happy, but an artistic masterpiece.

[@LifeLongVillan]

Loved your reaction..one is my favourite mettalica song,it has such a powerful meaning 🤟

[@johnnyeproductions]

Awwwwww Happy Belated Birthday Inna!!!! I hope that you had a great day! Much love from the US ❤

[@Roh_Echt]

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, so I'll just repeat it. If not...then yes, the scenes are from the 1971 movie Johnny Got His Gun; based on the 1939 book titled the same.

[@cartmanscomplex]

How awesome!! Happy Belated birthday!!! My son shares your birthday, Born on July 6, 2004!!! Rock on dearie, love the reactions!!!

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

Definitely FADE TO BLACK is one DEEP, N HEAVY song 🎵

[@BarzOnTheWindow1]

Your “reaction,” is well received. I appreciate the perspective of both your ears, and eyes. The details you sight, are poignant, and you articulate your thoughts well. You have gained a fan today, and I thank your parents, for being easy on the eyes 👀

[@bobbyanderson7133]

I was 13 when And Justice For All was released. It might be hard to imagine, but heavy metal was NOT mainstream back then. MTV was still a music video channel back then and most of their programming revolved around playing music videos. MTV only played metal late Saturday nights on a program called Headbangers Ball. You didn't see or hear heavy metal on tv or radio back then. The Grammys didn't have a heavy metal category yet. Metallica broke down those barriers. "One" was the first heavy metal song to show up in normal rotation on MTV. It went to number 1 on MTV's countdowns and was played along side Bon Jovi, Poison, Paula Abdul, New Kids On The Block, Bobby Brown, Winger, Warrant, Phil Collins, U2, etc....imagine a time when pop music dominated ALL of the music listening channels. Even the hard rock bands had pop hooks! But then, "One" shows up and it kicked down so many doors for heavy metal as a genre. There importance may have faded with time because we live in a world where you can hear and see heavy metal wherever you consume music from, but for those who lived through it, Metallica changed the music industry and what could be considered mainstream. They gave a voice to millions who didn't hear themselves represented in the popular music of the day. The thing is, "One" was just the beginning. Their next album, "The Black Album", was an even bigger mega hit and Metallica walked through the doors they kicked down with "One" and became part of the mainstream. I admit...i'm not a big fan of their post Black Album music, but there's no denying what they did and continue to do....which is carry heavy metal on their backs. James grew up on Black Sabbath, and although I love Black Sabbath, Metallica was my Black Sabbath. Thank you James. Thank you Lars. Thank you Kirk. Thank you Cliff. Thank you Jason. Thank you Rob.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

A deep deep song and matching video. Glad to see you review / react to it. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@arbiter1]

Another Really good video alone this line is Five finger death punch - Wrong side of heaven. It is pretty much same kinda message of how much the effect of war has one people sent to fight if they are lucky (if you can call them lucky) to come back alive.

[@swcoder]

The beauty of Metallica is the topics they delve into. There's so many choices, but I'll put up Dyer's Eve or maybe Sanitarium

[@skykibo7289]

List of a few Metallica songs that have important themes: Master of Puppets Welcome Home(Sanitarium) Sad But True One (of course) Ride the Lightning (technically) Fade to Black Frayed Ends of Sanity Wherever I May Roam

[@jasonspencer1967]

Hi, may I say, love you my metal head friend! ❤🤟💪

[@nigeldepledge3790]

For other Metallica songs with meaning, may I recommend: Creeping Death (about the Passover festival) Fade to Black (depression / suicide) Disposable Heroes (a more general anti-war song) Leper Messiah (about corrupt priests) Blackened (environmental destruction) . . . And Justice For All (about the corrupt justice system in the US) Ride the Lightning (about the death penalty) For Whom the Bell Tolls (another anti-war song) Fight Fire With Fire (a call for nuclear disarmament)

[@colonelquack]

"Just a Bullet Away" off Beyond Magnetic. I understand Fade to Black, and Disposable Heroes as suggestions. James Hetfield has struggled with demons his entire life.

[@brunobastos5533]

yup they got is Fade to Black

[@DT_Michael]

The scenes in this video are from the 1970's movie, "Johnny Got His Gun" and the associated book, originally written in 1938. James Hetfield was inspired to write this song after seeing the film. Johnny was a soldier in World War One. He is caught in an explosion that leaves him with no arms, no legs, no face, no ears. He cannot speak, hear, or see - has no sense of time or where he is, and is fed through a tube and breathing through a respirator. I have always interpreted the cut scenes within the song as what is happening to Johnny in the real world. The moments of the song where Johnny is "thinking out loud" are his conscious mind, and James Hetfields voice is his subconscious mind. This was triggered - for me - by Johnny's thought, "I don't know if I'm alive and dreaming, or dead and remembering?" From that point on, the music builds and builds, which - again, to me - signaled the growing conflict between the two sides of Johnny's mind as he dips further and further into insanity. By the time Kirk Hammett's guitar solo hits, (and hits hard), I've always pictured that as the final "battle" between Johnny's conscious and subconscious mind, with the final "S.O.S. Help me..." mantra at the conclusion signifying that Johnny's mind is the same as his body, reduced to "one" singular, autonomic thought. Nothing else of him remains from that point forward. Johnny has gone, and only the breathing corpse remains until he would die of old age. At the end, the crowd singing "Keep the Home Fires Burning" symbolizes how society went on and forgot about him, (and the veterans in general). If you listen to this song from that perspective, you will be bawling by the end.

[@cesarpotrica]

Fade to Back : nasty topic and one of the best songs ever about that topic !!!

"Drop D" tuning on the Guitar, makes it have that guttural/ deep sound.

Happy belated. You’re going to love this one. It’s slow, it’s fast it’s the first fortier into mainstream music. It was played on mtv and radio.

[@chrislocke1042]

We need 15 more people who will watch the other 100 people who reacted to this video and all of a sudden by just watching it once get it..

[@renejensen7799]

ONE is proberly mt favorite Metallica song for many reasons, 1. it was the song that got me hooked on Metallica for real. 2. its some of the best guitar riffs Metallica made 3. the topic is raw, and important 4. Metallica playing this live, is always a experience, especially because of the lightshow and the build up they make. So this could be the best Metallica song ever!! Im not sure if you did,, but if you never listened to for Whom the bell tools, i would suggest that next.. its another top pick for me..

[@anthonydavella1878]

Happy belated birthday.

[@joshuaclark3630]

Metallica !!!!!

[@luisgonzalez6721]

Right when Metallica got started as a band they said that they would never ever do any music videos until they did this song because they thought that the song would tell the story better in a music video. But a lot of Metallica fans we're very angry about it in fact after this music video came out a fan walk right in front of James & spit on his face & James said "What the F was that for?" & the fan replied " That was for selling out for making that music video" & we all know it was not there last.

LOL. Today people freak out about this video, the message etc. When this came out us Metallica fans were just like, "Cool! Metallica FINALLY made a video!!!!! and it's on MTV!"

[@ethancali9301]

The album this song is from, ...And Justice for All, is pretty much their masterpiece tackling a variety of heavy, important topics. Blackened is almost an environmentalist song about killing the world due to nuclear war. ...And Justice for All is about government and judicial corruption due to greed and money. Eye of the Beholder is rallying against oppression and censorship. One... is obviously about the horrors and senslessness of war. Then they get more personal to James with Harvester of Sorrow, To Live is to Die (an instrumental coming to terms with their Bassist Cliffs death), and Dyers Eve. The whole album is just perfect.

Legends! Musical Genius' These guys were around 24- 25yrs old when this masterpiece was written! Metallica whom I've seen live from 1980 til present many times, 3 bassists, and 2 lead guitarists*(not really, as 1st one Mustaine was only in the band 9 months then fired) in the past 43 yrs! They were around 20-21 years young when Master of Puppets in 1986 was dropped!! A complete Masterpiece of an album! Every song is outstanding and every lyric is insane, meaningful, artistic story telling, please listen to it, the entire album is insane! And Justice For All is the 4th album and is excellent too, this song and Disposable Heros are Anti-War songs that will hit hard! Thanks for the reaction!! 🫶🤘❤️‍🔥🔥🎼🎸
