    I have always loved this song. I saw them perform it live at the Grammy awards in 1988. It was one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever seen on live tv. They were clearly nervous at the start, but by the end they just went for it and got a standing ovation. I remember seeing tears in the audience and thinking “Wow, people are starting to get it, metal will finally the credit it deserves.” Then Jethro Tull won the metal Grammy.

I couldn’t see to well do to double vision , and I remember hearing all of the surgical staff yelling oh my god we got Chris back. I can’t believe we got him , thank god , he is back !

My dad was in WW2 and was in active duty in the Philippines. He and his best friend were running for a trench to jump in, but before they could reach a safe place a grenade came flying their way and killed his best friend.

    Great song to re-visit and react with Ken. I hope you get a chance to react and comment on Baby Metal's new single "Metal Kingdom". Su-metal's vocals seem to me, very much improved range and I'm looking forward to what a vocal coach/teacher thinks.

    This song and it’s music video are a great encapsulation of what metal does best: take a very uncomfortable emotion turn it up to 11, and force you to confront it and start to contend with your feelings about it. It’s a masterpiece.

    Most heartfelt reaction I have seen you do yet. Your reaction to Chris Cornell's cover of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' is a close second. Love your work and your honesty. There will only ever be one Ken Lavigne.

    I've watched a bunch of people react to this, and it's the people who get upset that seem to understand it best. This song has summoned a few tears, many times.
    Tears come from empathy, any empathy, for the kind of tragic situations which aren't only possible, but PROBABLE. Maybe not from a landmine, but from debilitating disease, from neglect, isolation. For most people, the path to death is a slow burn that hollows out your spirit. Only the lucky get a bullet, or get taken out quickly in a car crash. For the rest of us, it's a disgraceful march down a long dark empty hallway.
    I think about veterans who slip between the cracks, about the elderly rotting alone with nobody willing to spare them a moment. These are lives, and for each of them it's the only life they get, no do-overs. Just like yours, or like mine. Millions of them. It's overwhelming if you try to think clearly about it, especially knowing that it's likely the future of you and the people you care most about.
    So yeah, this song is brutal, but it really grasps that darkness and hopelessness pretty well. The beauty of it is that it makes people feel sorrow for a total stranger. Maybe that has helped people put a bit more effort into the neglected people around us... that's a bit of a comforting thought.

    My grandfather always instilled in me two things. 1. "If you want to take a life, start with yourself." and the second was: " There's no hole you've dug that you can't dig your own way out. You are the man with the shovel at the bottom." He was in two world wars and was a participant in the second (and third in some circles, ((continuity war)) But he never held any hatred in his heart. Those two things have gotten me so far. Even he said " You've gone trough more than a man could bare. But you made it."

    It's like the vocals are the desperate pleas, the drum and bass the fast beating hard as breath is held & the guitars the endless pain. He is fully awake but he has no face.

    There's something about this song/video combination that brings tears to my eyes every time. It's unbelievably harrowing and real, particularly the "kill me" part always gets me. My favourite music video ever, nothing moves me the same way. Absolutely genius and powerful.

  • @scottking7260

    The song and video are based on the 1971 Movie starring Jason Robards as the soldier's dad. The move is an adaptation of Dalton Tumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun" (1938). Trumbo wrote the adaptation and directed the movie. I got my hands on a copy back in 88/89 when this video came out. Read it in like 6 hours. Amazing book. Dark, for sure; but well worth the read. It's on Amazon for like $8.99. Great reaction. Thank you for not editing out the emotional bits. Authenticity is appreciated.

    Great reaction and share Ken... it's such an emotional song on its own, but paired with the video it is hard not to get emotional, especially with all that is going on in the world today and the reminder of those we've lost in so many prior conflicts... this is what brilliant music can do and why it drives me crazy when people try to minimize the impact and value of music... I saw this tour (Queensryche was the opener) and i remember walking out of the venue just drained...

    There's not a lot that gets to me but.... The older I get music can bring it out of me. I watch all the reaction videos to this song because I remember how mind blowing this video / song is. I love the genuine reactions to this perfect song / video. I wish I could go back and watch this for the first time all over again. The keep the home fires burning song at the end to me is the creepiest part. It also shows how insane and senseless war as a whole is too.
    I'm rambling. Awesome video

    Thank you for putting this video out. This is indeed how many of us felt growing up, and if we were lucky enough we get this perspective before our lives were thrown away. My brother and I, and many of our friends, joined the military straight out of school, and I can tell you most of us have a very different perspective on things after seeing that side of it.
