imagine that.
scariest shit in the world, losing your arms, legs, voice, sight, and hearing holy fuck
And being paralysed from head to toe.
Death is better
I listened to the audio drama in a theatre some months ago. It's a story that can change you in some ways. But I hardly slept that night thinking of it
I watched the movie to this, and the patient got a handjob.

Of course it's all groovy baby
Metallica, when this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕🎉
your awesome!
beautiful comment, and im sending you love, music has power
Most splendid, correct.
I met my ex-husband in 1972, he'd been back from Viet Nam about 6 months then. He was reading the book Johnny Got His Gun, what this video is based on. When he had got home, he told his fiance that the wedding was off. He went back on heroin, saw how bad the stuff was here compared to there, & quit. One day he just put his thumb out, started hitch-hiking thru California. That's when I met him. It would be many years before he got himself together, after he left me for somebody else, did 3 yrs in state prison. We don't really talk, there's not much to say now. All I can do is wish him the best, pray he finds some peace in his life.
Lol, me too ✋️ 🤣
Imagine some 13-14 years old kid listening to this song for the first time in the 80’s

Me too
Yes, that was meeeeeeeee
I was about 10 maybe 11. If anything the song has only improved with time. Thank fuck I got to grow up listening to metal 🤘

Mid 80's sitting infront of the a Music Video show on TV when this came on ... My Dad, a WWII veteran sitting on the sofa, I remember him sitting watching in silence, at the end all he said was "Damn Right" and got up and walked into the kitchen ... My Grandad saved his life and put him in Sea Cadets in 38 and gaurenteed him being in the RCN while all his neighborhood buddies were sent to defend Hong Kong, none returned. That was about as much as you would ever get out of my Dad about his war experience ... his PTSD silent rage for the rest of his life.

Hope your old man's doing well and you as well and your family.., must've been Really hard for him and his brothers..
Hup ho
Dam right
This album came out in 1988, I think or was it 1987? 14/15 I was. This song blew my brains against the wall as a schoolboy listening to it over and over again on my Walkman cassette.
I spent 8 months in a palative care ward with 6 to 12 months to live. That was 3 years ago
Yes! All rise...
Stay strong.
Glad you’re still with us.
believe me or not because I'm just a random 15 year old kid on the internet, Im glad you are still alive and hopefully doing better.
Congratulations🥰🥰

Mad respect to all those out there who are keeping this kind of music still alive .

I was even before Eddie! But I'm glad they made that character.. It harkens back to some heavy metal guys from back in those days... I miss the 80's to a point..

Hes rocking out with you everytime you listen to it💔
My 3 boys were between 5 and 10 the first time I let this rip in the living room. They all dropped everything and asked, “What is that?” I said, “It Metallica.” Without ever being told what one is, they started a mosh pit in the living room as soon as the double base hit.
Great music and great memories. I wish yours was still with you. No man should ever have to bury a son😟

May your son's memory always reign strong within you; especially when you're rocking to this song! Rest in power!! ✊🏿

@max damage bro you need to chill. It's just music and someone sharing it with children. Don't let your trauma be the thing that you try to affect others with.
@max damage nothing graphic is shown in the video, and the song and the movie are anti war anyway. So by that logic you want your kids to go to and support was. I know that's not what you're actually saying though. Children need to understand the reality of war and life. Life isn't a pretty picture. Having your kids grow up thinking everything is sunshine and roses will just fuck them up as adults when life starts happening to them. When I was a kid I saw these things, I saw people killed and dismembered. It didn't fuck me up in the head or anything. It made me face reality, make wiser choices to avoid those fates. I'll gladly show my kids a fucking Metallica video over the things I saw. Quit being ridiculous dude.
This isn’t just a “top metal song”. This is easily in the top 100 greatest songs ever made.
Toda la maldita razón!!
I just can't describe how amazing this song is, years and years passed and i still get goosebumps listening to it. The message is very tragic but important. The way it's all tied up is simply amazing and epic. Badass masterpiece.
And in the top 100, it’s at number one (pun intended)
I’m a rap music enthousiast, real hiphop/rap with a message, but this song is definitely in my top10.
This song has it all. It's my wake up song on my way to work
Lars' drumming here is absolutely brilliant. It deserves respect.
Top 10 best Metal songs ever made. This shall echo through generations!
Whether you like this Metallica song or not, "Johnny's got his Gun" is a fantastic dramatization of the horror of war.
Read it in jr high before this song. Wife and kids now wouldn't ever want to be thar kind of a burden on them.
Wouldn’t call it a dramatisation worse things happened
@@DjProfiK dramatization is in every single movie you have seen and will see. Movie = drama. Depiction maybe a better word.

@@MSC1986 thank you. I'm out here everyday trying to get people to learn how to spell again.
For those wondering, this music video uses excerpts from the movie "Johnny Got His Gun"
Based on the book of the same name, the movie follows the story of Joe Bonham, a young man who was drafted into World War I. After being hit by an artillery shell, his face, legs, and arms were blown off. He can still think, reason, dream, and feel, but he can't speak, hear, see, or move. He has no idea where he is, when he is, or how long he's been like that.
Imagine being trapped in your own body, with almost no way to interact with the outside world. Imagine being a prisoner, locked inside of your own mind. A minute in our world feels like a year to him. That's the horror he's experiencing.
Fully understandable
And for democracy he gave his ONLY son to war back before they had to have the bloodline stay correct?
Me and my friend actually rented the movie in black and white at a video store in maybe 1983 or so 🤔 lol its been a while but that's one that you won't ever forget...and then boooimm Metallica brought his story to life...much love and respect🖤🤍❤
I finally got to see this movie a month back. Damn, what an ending...
@@WreckerR I think it's two fold story, true but also about Hetfields addiction issues. My favorite Metallica song. Just my opinion.
The original One!😮
Together Forever
This song especially fascinates me. It starts off calmly, like hope fading. Then there is an upswing that comes with fear and anger. But it ends with the silence that comes with death. It’s so good. One is one of the few metal pieces that you can listen to when you are happy or sad. A multifunctional masterpiece.
I think the silence is him giving up, because he won't die for awhile, maybe just losing himself in insanity like the book.
Sadfully it is not death in the end but endless madness beeing kept alive. For the whole story watch the movie. Though it might be a boring experience it hits very hard ...
@@e667bot Alright, I’ll watch it. Can you give me the name of it?
@@thekirpi4923 Mmmmh, think the original title is Johnny got his gun.
Lies again? Total Distance = 0KM
In 1989 Metallica released the song 'One' and used clips from the 'Johnny Got His Gun' a 1971 American drama film written and directed by Dalton Trumbo based on his 1939 novel of the same name. Joe Bonham, a young American soldier hit by an artillery shell during World War I, lies in a hospital bed. He is a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to reason, but his wounds render him a prisoner in his own body. As he drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and girlfriend. He also forms a bond of sorts with a young nurse who senses his plight. Eventually, Joe tries to communicate with his doctors via Morse code by tapping his head, saying "help". He wishes for the Army to put him in a glass coffin in a freak show as a demonstration of the horrors of war. When told that his wish may be impossible to grant, he responds begging to be euthanized, repeatedly saying "kill me". He ultimately realizes that the Army cannot grant either wish, and will leave him in a state of living death. His sympathetic nurse attempts to euthanize him by clamping his breathing tube, but her supervisor stops her before Joe can succumb. Joe realizes that he will never be released from his state of entrapment and he is left alone, weakly chanting, "S.O.S. Help me."
Yes. This song was composed in November 1987 but not released until 1989. At least that’s what a Google search said
It’s awful!
Спасибо, я знал очём песня, но то, что вы повествовали раскрылр больше смысла этой песни. Спасибо.
When I was young, I wanted nothing more than to be an Air Force officer, and they wanted me badly. My test scores were incredible in everything they wanted, but in the end, I let my family's wishes keep me from doing it.
One thing I'll never forget though, is talking to an active duty Green Beret Captain, who had served in Vietnam. And he told me about two such young men as this coming back from. I think, WW2. (My father was a veteran of WW2 and Korea).
One solace of not being an Air Force officer i still have is that no boys were or ever will face such horror because of any decisions of mine.
Jesus Christ 🫡😔🫡
I dedicated it to the love of my life when I met her, and here she is after 30 years lying next to me, while I listen to our song with headphones so as not to wake her up... may it last a lifetime!!

My dad had some of his brains blown out in Vietnam and a metal plate in his head. Mom left when I was 10, she was a nurse.
I used to listen to him cry regularly about all the men he saw slaughtered and having to pick up their body parts weeping because he didn’t know whose finger, whose arm, whose brain pieces to put in which bag to send home to the families.
He cried ALL THE TIME
He was drafted at 19 years old and paying his own way through college. I love this song and it helps because there are not a lot of people to talk to and they really don’t care.
🥲
I think you, me, and a lot of people, are touched by music like this and the comfort it brings us knowing we are not the only ones who suffer throughout our lives.
Yes, I should seek community with more people who have similar experiences that I can talk to.
There are people out there who care, I promise. You want find care in your average Joe though
Your dad and mum are true heroes. Thank you! What your dad had to do as part of his military service, he did it with dignity and a humane ethic. Praise your dad for trying to bring peace to some of the families enflicted by the cruelty of war :-) Thank you for sharing this post with us.

Am I the only one who thinks those movie dialogues makes it better?

I think it does. I had never seen the movie Johnny Got His Gun until this music video.
To be honest the best quotes are in this song. lul.

Metallica actually bought the rights to the movie! I still need to watch it one of these days!

I was in the hospital, at 17. My lungs had shut down slowly and they never figured out why. I almost died and it took over a week to get my air to open back up. My mom, who is a saint and a truly a devout Christian, said she loved this song (because I had MTV going constantly). Doesn’t even like music and probably not this song, but meant a lot to me. I felt death if is such a thing. We are both still going and she’s still a saint. I could hear this song while sleeping, over and over.

@@kevinvowles6052 the song is about a war vet who gets horribly injured. He legs and arms are blown off, he can't speak, hear, see, smell, nothing.

A horrifying concept
At 52 yo, I remember this albums release. I remember seeing the video on its release. Here it is 2024, sitting in my car on break watching it for millionth time and it still brings a tear to my eyes. Best music video ever imo. What a masterpiece.
This is ONE of my favorite METALLICA songs 🎵 🤘
For the people who say Lars is a bad drummer -
He played 'Kill Me' in Morse code with his bass pedal in the chorus part. Just like the injured soldier who had spasm all the time telling 'Kill me'.
There lies his genius. The soldier had a 'one in a million chance'. The unlucky 'One' chance.
Who's saying Lars is bad drummer? Those saying that can go listen to Ariana and Hannah Montana, drink their milk and go to bed.
@@stamate97 just a bunch of posers who actually like Lars but are too scared to say it out loud
the drums there are truly genius!!
Thats not true that he played morse code on his bass pedal?
@@stefandurbaba Yes, use a morse code translator for "KILL ME" and read through the dots as the song plays
This song needs to be placed in a museum dedicated to the atrocity of war. Along with other pieces of timeless art, and film like Saving Private Ryan. And sealed for future generations.
and Johnny got his gun, the film whithin the video, one of the hardest movies I ever seen, and a masterpiece.
Platoon, We Were soldiers, Windtalkers..
Disposable Heroes as well. Speaks about the atrocities of war.
The guy and the boy don't help the legacy much.
Saving Private Ryan is not an anti-war film. It's not about the atrocities of war but about the triumph of defeating Nazis. At the end, the heroes won. At the end, all the battle was worth it, so it isn't about the atrocities of war.
Can never play this song loud enough. This is the that opened the doors of metal to me at 9 years old in 1989

hello
That was a Lieutenant.
It was the beginning of the winter of 1988 when I bought the album "...And Justice for All." I went to my room. I turned off the light and put the headphones on my ears. I focused better in the dark.
I remember the first time I heard "One". My breathing became harder, and my eyes watered...
3 years later, I was a 19-year-old kid with a rifle in a trench, shells falling all around me. I grew up fast...
I am one of those who were lucky.
To this day, "One" is a song that fills me with special emotions and reminds me of comrades who were not so lucky.
For all those who are with us today, in a different way.
Thank you guys for this song
even for 1988 We were not ready for how hard 4:29 still goes! Even today this is insane how good this is! Still in my top 5 greatest songs ever done
When you actually listen to the lyrics, this song is deep as fuck. A guy who is a complete vegetable and he just wants to die, but they won't let him. His body becomes a prison.
there's a book on it, "Johnny's got his gun", real fucked up and graphic but it's a good read
@@cruzvaldez6452 Yeah they made it into a movie, and Metallica used clips of that movie in this music video. Apparently they got tired of paying royalties to the film makers, so they bought it themselves.
@@this_is_nick oh I never knew there was a movie, gonna have to give it a watch
It's about a guy who loses all feeling in WWI, whose senses stop, yet he continues on. He is trapped in his past up until his loss of humanity, where he confronts a world that will not accept his new form.
@@this_is_nick what’s the movie called?
"Help me mother, im having a horrible nightmare and I cant wake up." That sent shivers down my spine.

me at 16- *im glad i learned how to play this on guitar its fucking sick and the interludes are so beautiful*
me at 25 - *I need to talk to a therapist before i listen to this again*
Same bro same, problem is that when you get older you start understanding lyrics bit more and better....
lol I’m 14 and learning how to play this song along with breaking the law
My history teacher already taught us what happened and yeah I’m 13
You good bro?
I... already knew the meanings at 13, but it's only because a guy commented on the original song the meaning and history of it.
"Each man faces death by himself
Alone"
Sad But True.
As I heard once "Death is a dance you do alone"
Same goes with Birth also!
Death And Hate can you feel it now mr krabs?
Andrew Meinswift I didn’t read any of that you weirdo
Everyone has Jesus....Gid bless u
"Oh please god wake me!!"
I feel like that all the time after losing my dad a few years back. Condolences to those of you who have lost loved ones as of late.
There's no other metallica song that could come close to this.
Thank you Metallica for making people aware of what soldiers go through.. In my opinion. this is the greatest Metallica song. Incomparable..
Sad thing is... during ww1 this actually happened to a soldier... they kept him alive to see if they could, death would have been a kindness
@@turbulanceismname of the soldier?
@@lixerin it probably happened in many cases already
Yeah buddy..I wonder if James hetfield cried a few times wen watching this fukd up movie , bc it obviously made an impact , and inspired him to write one of the best songs ever made
@@lixerin I can't remember the soldier name, I tried to Google it but just kept coming up with the story the song is based off of
The line & I quote: "He's a product of your profession, not mine." has to be one of the coldest, cruelest, heartless lines ever uttered in a movie. Just another reason why this song and video is sooooooo FREAKN' AWESOME!!!
It is, but it isn't, either. It comes across that way. But, it's also coming from a padre...a man of faith. So, his general take, is 'I don't believe in your profession of killing and sending people to die. And now, that you see the results of your work, you want ME to offer comfort." So, yes, it comes across cruel, but I believe he's more about chastising the general idea of war, rather than being cruel to the soldier. But, to me, it is a really interesting part of the video.
0k but I see a hand's washes.... Who is capable of empathy? Who suffers more for someone who cannot express themselves instead of arguing about ethics? We would have to make the priest pass as Jhonny to see if he continues with his same speech when he returns
it ain't that deep bruh
Hes just saying "not my problem"
In the movie, the general asks the chaplain to comfort Joe and at least tell him to have faith n God but the pries demurred citing that "I will not challenge his faith against your stupidity" to which the general replies "Well, you're one _hell_ of priest!" and that's when the chaplain responds "He's a product of _your_ profession not mine."
If you think that's bad, even Jesus Christ (played by Donald Sullivan) tells Johnny that it would be cruel to pretend that anyone could help him and that he should leave as he is an unlucky boy and it tends to rub off.
When Christ himself abandons you and tells you to get lost, you are _well_ and _truly_ fucked...
9 year old me. Begged my parents for this and Faith No More's album Epic for Xmas that year. They got me both plus Super Mario 3!
Best guitarists and singer of the 80"s and 90"s. That voice screams carnage!
This isn’t a song. This is a message and has meaning. Greatest masterpiece ever written
Steady on mate
I agree with you a lot. Its not just a song. Its even more than this. (Im french sorry for grammaticals errors)
most if not all songs have messages and meanings
❤
@@AspenstorpemusicThis is one of the songs of all time
Its crazy we just liked this music as teens but as adults it resonates deeply enough to make you cry.
REAL
Omg is thiis real. im 41
Agree
When you're able to feel the music and the words
Agree from South Korea
Metallica. A household name. Yeah!
For many in this world, democracy is still a struggle for freedom. And this is important!
As a combat vet, this hits deep. Many sleepless nights.
God is here for you. He is the source for restoration.

@@presupping4eva AUSTIN 3:16 SAYS I JUST WHIPPED YOUR ASS!! sorry I had to
God manifested Himself in the flesh to be the ultimate sacrifice for mankind. And then He rose from the dead, so that we may receive eternal life, and spend eternity with God. This was done that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, and then you will be saved. ✝️🔥❤️
Thank you for all you do for your country, big RESPECT goes out to you, I would use a salute emoji if there was one
thank you soooooo much you are the people who deserve all the respect in the world
The energy is so liberating. People who don't listen this type of music will never understand. This song had aged like wine, it only became better.

Well said 🤘
For the good and for the bad. The sad thing is that the issues this song talks about, they're just getting worse and worse... Therefore I propose this song to be played when the Apocalypse starts ✊
I agree with you. 🤘
Metallica Rule the World ❤️
I remember Dancing 2 this in early '90 "s in the alternative disco! Went out of my plate!!!😅
We'd wait hours to be able to watch this on mtv.
If the words the actors use in the movie are an accurate rendering of what Trumbo actually wrote, then DAMN the guy is a great writer - much better than I gave him credit for. And the movie is obviously of pretty high quality too....and then there's this song. Magnificent. I freely acknowledge that, even if Metallica are nowhere near my favourite metal band.
“Mother I’m having I nightmare and I can’t wake up”, Jesus, every time it brings tears to my eyes
I feel ya, its the same way invincible brings many tears to my eyes lol
Not sure if you've ever actually seen that particular scene in the real movie but damn is that painful to watch. He finally becomes aware of what's happened to him and he goes into freak out mode because there's literally nothing he can do about it and he knows it
Those of us who had seen an smelled war an death. It never goes away.

@@Drummer_Jeff83 I saw the movie about ten years ago and I've never gotten over it. Scared the hell out of me.
I relate this video to my father. He was almost cut in half on the USS ENTERPRISE while in the navy at age 19. He thought he was not gonna survive, then he was told he would eat, shit and piss out of a bag while in a wheelchair muchless have a family. He had to learn how to walk again after numerous surgeries but I am proof as his son (and my sister) that anything is possible. He struggles everyday but man I am so proud of him.
quite a story, god bless your family
god bless indeed 🙏 the kind of hero that are sadly going to be forgotten
I'm kinda curious what happened to inflict such an injury on him.
My best guess would be that during a landing an arrestor wire snapped and hit him.
God bless, well if your Christian. 😂😅🤣
Tell Him I Said Thank You For Your Service
One of the best songs in the history of music
Myself and my husband's four yr old has been a fan of metallica and exposed to their music for his whole life and he absolutely loves them he head bangs with his da xuz his dad has long hair
I am 40 years old ( and a hip hop head) and never heard a metal song in my life. This was deep, thought provoking and artistic. I just might have a new appreciation for a genre I never gave a chance. Amazing what happens when you step outside your comfort zone.
I am a black woman 43 from alabama and before I was aware of b.e.t. or knew who donnie Robinson was we had MTV and this is what we had to listen to. I surprised myself looking to rock out today looking for Courtney love and others.
welcome to metal !!
Welcome to metal, where ANYONE is welcome, there's no hate here, just a mutual love for this classics like this and others
Well listen to bite the hand that feeds by nine inch nails listen to wat he's saying and think of our government and the elites that run our reality that a lot have woken up to understand and know the truth and believe on prophecy don't take the red pill
@@stacysumrall6032 thanks. I will listen to it...funny how I'm looking forward to it. Im open to other suggestions too.

Dark and horrifying but great song
@@TheJMan5c I was in the MEPS center joining the military and this song was constantly playing on MTV as I waited for the bus to take me too basic training, great memories and will always remember this song.
@@DanielFlores-kq5is me too bro
Imagine this for just one minute, ok. No arms, no legs, can’t see, can’t speak and can’t hear. Thats just scary, man
Being dead in the world
@@steelbunyea Americans definitely give a shit about children and women. Soldiers who have raped have been broadcasted through the news and made to feel small AND IMPRISONED. I haven't heard of an instance where a child was killed without a soldier mourning the dead, it's tragic to soldiers and Americans back home. Every American frowns upon child cannon fodder that the middle east enjoys sending at us in the name of their fake god. If you want to laugh and call the Christian god fake, at least our god doesn't send children to fight our battles.
Im so high rn fuck thats scarty
