What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you want to support the channel grab your signed merch from me now 🤟 www.patreon.com/knoxhill
I would recommend reacting to any song off of Shinedown's album Planet Zero
How about Led Zeppelin No Quarter or some such thing? Go back to the origins?
It's like he's stuck between life and deaths door in total blackness knowing but no way to express himself.
A few Metal Monday suggestions (in no particular order):
1. Pantera ~ Cowboys From Hell
2. Testament ~ The Ballad (NOT the official video, however, as it's heavily edited)
3. MegaDeth ~ Tornado Of Souls
4. Lamb Of God ~ Walk With Me In Hell
5. Iron Maiden ~ Hallowed Be Thy Name (live 1982)
6. Anthrax featuring Public Enemy ~ Bring The Noise (official video)
7. Metallica ~ Shortest Straw
8. Sepultura ~ Altered State
9. Ozzy Osborne ~ Miracle Man (official video)
10. Judas Priest ~ Painkiller (official video)
Keep rockin' and stay heavy, my friends \m/

Hetfield was obsessed with the book Johnny Got His Gun. This is his take on it, and they chose to interpose the film version of the story with the music to tell the story. One of the most powerful anti-war songs ever. Thanks for covering it.
And an amazing movie and book
@@cliffbones7204, definitely must-read and watch, for real.
I heard somewhere that either James Hetfield or Metallica as a whole own the rights to the movie.
@@anthonybarnes6298 that rings a bell
@@anthonybarnes6298yup they bought the rights
“Oh god, this is heavy as hell.” On this day, Knox Hill adopted the language of the true metal-head. I’m so proud I could cry.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤘☠️👍
You want heavy.. 'ttelica gives you HEAVY BABY 🤘
🤘😈🤘
Old Metallica nerd here 🤘just a couple of things to enhance your knowledge of this masterpiece
The drumming section in the middle of the song represents morse code for “Kill Me” The patient One is so desperate to die, but with no means of communication left, he bangs his head in morse code to beg to be killed.
Also Metallica bought the rights to this movie in order to be able to use it unrestricted in this video.
This video is SO moving, in my opinion the greatest rock video ever made.
Always glad when Metallica reach new fans!
This comment should be on top!
Yeah, I came to say this. You can hear it in the background if you know the song really well. First time ever Knox couldn't hear all the lyrics
I know this whole music video from start to finish 😭 it’s been engraved into my brain. Even now when I listen to the song by itself I catch myself quoting the video
Yeah. True. It's amazing how he has been getting into metal. Not just Metallica but others as well but I was surprised for Knox to get the depth of this song in the first instance. Damn he is good !!!
Also this comment should be top...
Spot on,iam zn old metallica fan from kill em all days
Knox asks, "why call the song one?" The line "now the world is gone... I'm just one" answers that. Another great reaction. Love this guy.
I thought that was it too but later found out it actually he’s the one in a million that would survive, basically won the shit lottery.
I think it's a great question by Knox actually, as good as this song is, that line is kind of weak and not a reason to name a whole song after it
@@JP47471 not its not. He is basically one. Has no other thing. He is left with himself.
@@Nichwar19 perfectly apt title if you ask me
@@JP47471 It encompasses the whole song, EVERYTHING he knew was gone to him, his whole WORLD, and it left him by himself with EVERYTHING, hence I am just "ONE".
If you listen closely, someone says, "do you have a message for him doctor" right before the man says "𝙃𝙚'𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚". That was the doctor saying that to a career military officer. You have to remember, this movie was based on a soldier returning from WWI, at that time just about every able bodied male was in the military, including doctors, so the line was taking a jab at the perils of war. I can see ones confusion though since the doctor is in a military uniform.
It is a military Chaplain saying "He is a product of your profession" to a commanding officer.
The message there was basically "He is not a product of faith/god/religion but a product of war."
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
It's total nightmare fuel that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
cool info thanks
So great when this video came out on mtv in 1988. It was Metallica's 4th album yet their first ever video. I remember how uncomfortable the VJ's would look after the video was over and they would say something like, "um... ok.... well... up next - Bobby Brown!" 😄
Hahahah this comment made me laugh, so true I could hear them say it 🤣 😂
(I know this is nit-picking but I just gotta say this) First MUSIC video. They did do Cliff 'em all before this.
yup. I'll never forget rushing home from school to see the MTV World Premiere.
Then sitting on the end of my bed afterwards with a slack jaw, wide eyed, and heavy heart not knowing what to say or think.
I so remember that!! Haha. It was even uncomfortable for Headbangers Ball when it first came out.
I watched that first showing. It was on Headbangers Ball.
You’re breakdowns still blow my mind. The way you can pick apart a song so well in the first listen is an amazing talent you have!
Best breakdowns in my opinion. Almost like he studied music and is a true song writer
I was impressed as well specially seeing how others struggle getting the concept of the song
Not his first listen. Pretty obvious
@elysium30 could be research too though.. which is fair enough.
@@marcsappington419 That is beacaus is a HipHop/rapper.
The really heavy part about the quote "he's a product of your profession, not mine" is that it came from an Army chaplain indicated by the medical personnel asking him "don't you have any words Padre?"
So happy you reacted to this one! I've been waiting since your first Metallica reaction!
The guy who asked if he has any words for him was not a medical professional; he was a military officer. When the chaplain said, "He's a product of your profession, not mine," he meant the patient was a product of war, not of the chaplain's ministry.
One… what a masterpiece!
Try “The day that never come” or “For whom the bell tolls”…
Keep going on like this!
You got all the right meaning of the track: no war
Love the breakdown! This is one of my favorite songs, not just of Metallica's but in general. I especially love the riffs starting around 9:50 that sound like bursts of gunfire. I really love seeing anyone's first exposure to this song.
Also, as I recall, the line at 12:51 is actually "Don't you have some message for him, padre?" and is coming from the commanding officer. So the line "He's the product of your profession. Not mine." is actually coming from a priest; basically saying "This is the war's/the military's doing, not God's."
Yes but Knox's take on it being reversed is actually maybe even better. Never thought of it that way.
@@anttikettunen8601 That is why i do, and always will support euthanasia.
Life in invaluable and should not have a price tag on it... but some lifes are not worth saving at any cost, sometimes death is the kinder choice.
And think... these guys were 25 years old creating such master pieces.
This song is literally about THE MOST ALONE anyone could ever be - No Arms, No Legs, Can't See, Hear OR Speak.
You're Basically a Prisoner in Your Own Body ... or What's Left of it. Completely at the absolute Mercy of others ... if there's anybody even around (because How The Hell would you even Know) And you Can't Do ANYTHING about it.... and so you Hold your breath as you Wish for Death as Madness eventually creeps it's way In....
If there was Ever a Clear Cut, Undeniable Definition of a *Living Hell* ....
THIS IS IT
Metallica is one of those bands where the older I get the more I appreciate. The instrumentality has this flow from melodic to heavy and back, sometimes in a jarring way, but never distracting from the song. The lyricism is poetic and straightforward at the same time, and the choice of delivery definitely gives the words weight in key points. And going back and watching their official music videos, there's symbolism for the message they want to get across but also leaving it open ended enough to let others take away more than what is shown. I've been a fan of theirs since I was a kid and I love their music more and more as the years pass.
Maybe Saint Anger is an exception… or it is for me… 😅🤣
@@stefanofiorese1675 And the last album definitely)
A contemporary metal classic. That era if Metallica is beyond iconic. Good choice.
Fun Fact: Metallica bought the rights to the movie "Tommy Got His Gun" (which we see clips of in the music video) so they could keep showing said music video without having to pay royalties.
I've been a metallica fan for over thirty years, this and fade to black are two of my all time favorite. love how you get the meaning of their songs first time, and breakdown not just lyrics but the music as well. keep up the good work.
This song never fails to elicit an emotional response from me, it’s fantastic art and music.
I love how when Knox has no idea what he's talking about (referring to metal generally he is a rap guy) but because he is so passionate of his craft he picks up the meaning of one of the best bands of all time imo, lyrics and music tone choice, literally instantly. Love you Knox!
This and nothing else matters are 2 songs i can't help but play with my eyes closed and absorbing it.
Knox is soo amazing at analysing wow. He understood almost everything
So does every fake reactor. This is not his first time listening. If you see all one reactions, they figure it out quicker than a real fan who spent time doing real research on their own by listening again and again. I just hate these fake reactions
I've been waiting for this one! This song/video is incredible! Most people have no idea how to react to it. What happened to the soldier is probably the scariest thing that could happen to anyone. Not being about to see, speak, or anything? Not to mention no limbs. Absolutely tragic. Thank you for doing this one, Knox! Have a good week.
That’s my greatest fear. Being “alive” but trapped in my own body. That’s why I fully support assisted suicide. No one should be able to force another person to live.
There was a story about an acid victim in the UK who’s jealous ex gf poured acid on him while he slept. They showed where he rung a neighbors doorbell for help and it melted the metal. He was in an induced coma for 9 months and even his father didn’t recognize him. He had tons of skin grafts and amputations and eventually was able to regain the ability to speak which kept him sort of sane. But then he developed an infection and required a tube to be inserted in his throat permanently, losing his tether to sanity and family. He was also moved to a nursing home that was I’ll equipped for the care he required and not to mention the unrelenting pain he faced everyday.
That’s when his father hired a private ambulance and medical transfer company and he took him back to the Netherlands (their home country)so he could receive assisted suicide. They had to hide it because there were those opposed, but how can anyone force someone else to live (even though what he was doing was far from. “living”) a life of pain? Same with full lifesaving measures on a 91 year old in full organ failure after a fall. Just because you can “save” someone, doesn’t mean that you should . The guy was able to go out peacefully with his father by his side.
The video is atrocious, the song is great.
@@marquisdelafayette1929100% agree, I've lived the last 15 years with a degenerative condition that has slowly reduced my independence and left me with constant pain. Given me a new window into how people could wish to end their life rather than suffer with no hope of a meaningful life.
This has to be one of the greatest storytelling tracks of all time, through any genre of music. The instrumentation is so powerful and emotional.
Based on Johnny Got His Gun. A WW1 soldier hit by artillery shell. Lost sight smell hearing speech. Story told through his mind as he slowly goes crazy and hopes for death. The book is really good.
Great reaction man, I couldn’t click fast enough! Gotta do Fade to black for your next Metallica reaction. Another song with a deep meaning 🤘
Yeah, Fade To Black is probably the only Metallica song that can match the heavy, existential dread that you get from One. Check it out.
Not gonna lie, I struggled throughout your reaction to figure out if this was truly a first time reaction. You picked up on stuff quick! I think this is my favorite reaction to "One" so far, because I think you were genuine. You chose to listen to the lyrics, not just say "I'm going to react to a Metallica song" and that is. Awesome reaction. Do Metallica Creeping Death in Moscow if you get a chance :)
Hey man!
If you haven't been around this channel much, Knox is a rapper and lyrics are his focal point regardless of genre. He's been very good at picking apart meaning.
One of my favorite Metallica songs just because each lyric has a heavy meaning. Can't wait until you view more of Metallica!
Their first 4 albums are amazing. You could breakdown all of them. Still my favorite metal band. Love you Knox 💙
Film is “Johnny Got His Gun” based on a book of the same name. It’s a good read.
Time to expand the horizons, Knox. I nominate Alice In Chains 'Would?' and Avenged Sevenfold's 'Afterlife' (but not the official video) making their debuts on this channel
Rooster by AIC would be great as well.
Expand the horizons by listening to mainstream bands, lmao
Also the Rollercoaster of emotions just the music alone takes you.... can't help but nod my head to the drums
Knox!! I am a huge fan of your Metal and Harry Mack reactions. You always impress me with your song breakdowns, you pick up on the lyrics, meanings, and song structure. You definitely know your stuff and I look forward to your vids. Keep up the great work!
This Metallica song hits me every time!!! I remember hearing it for the first time when I was a kid and how much it affected me then without understanding the full concept but what I did catch... so emotional!!
Sometimes you get ahead of yourself where you're talking over important lines. Even one word is important. There's a line where he says "now the world is gone. I'm just One."
Requested and delivered. Thank you. Knew you could handle the video and music at the same time. A lot of reactors struggle a bit. Great job.
Greatest Christmas gift I ever received many many years ago from my Father was 2 cassettes and a Buck knife. Metallica's Justice for All and the Black album. Life changing!!!
One of the greatest riffs ever made. I can still remember the first time I heard this song and it has just been stuck in my head since.
My friend I appreciate how you pick these songs apart and take it all on board. Keep up the good work
Dude, I'm thoroughly impressed by your ability to interpret a song/video's meaning in one take. This is only the second video of yours that I've watched and you've nailed them both. You've earned a subscriber in me.
Hi Knox, great analysis as always! Can't wait to see you go over Metallica's Unforgiven trilogy 😊
the video uses scenes from the movie johnny got his gun. the song itself. the songbased on the idea of a soldier losing all of his limbs and jaw and being unable to hear, speak, or see, set to a World War I backdrop
Love your stuff, keep it up
love from Norway
Knox! Brother I've been wanting a rapper's reaction to this! Thank you!
And justice for all is by far one of the single most inspiring and influential albums of my lifetime. If nothing else in my life is good at least I was blessed enough to be born to hear this album.
Their best video imo. 🔥... It's from a movie from the 1971 called Johnny Got Is Gun. It's named "One" for the fact this soldier lost everything, arms,legs, most of his face, ears, voice. What are the chances of anyone surviving those injuries,ONE in a million.
I'm so jealous u get to hear this for the first time. Been listening to this song since elementary and is still a go to. I got to see Metallica live when I was 15. It's still the best concert I've been to and I'm 39 now. So glad u reacted to this. 🤘
It's genuinely fun to watch you discover a masterpiece, and to get a new perspective on something I've known by heart for decades now. Keep going - the further you dive into Metallica, the more genius you'll find.
I always love your reactions. You pick up on so much, a brain full of information. My mum was a nurse in Vietnam during the war & dealt with a lot of horrific stuff, she rarely talks about it & I wasn't allowed to play this when she was home. She told me that it was pretty common for the nurses to just "trip over" someone's life support tubes or "mess up" the morphine & od them & they were called angels for that. It would be horrendous to have to even think about doing that. But we help out our pets when they become old & sick or injured & there's nothing left for them so we give them a peaceful send off so I personally don't see it as a bad thing to go all Jack Kevorkian & where I live now we do have some dignity in death legislation in place, which is pretty revolutionary.
Whew that's a lot. And congrats on getting signed!
Yes! This song is phenomenal!! I no longer allow myself to listen to this in the car cuz I’ve almost run several stop signs and traffic lights from headbanging too hard 😅😅
The interspliced clips are from a movie called Johnny Got His Gun. It’s an anti war movie about a soldier who gets hit with a shell and loses all his limbs and basically all his senses and motor functions and essentially becomes trapped in his own body. Metallica actually bought the movie rights because it would be cheaper than paying the royalties in perpetuity
9:50 that machine gun riff isn’t just dope but it’s yet another great example of how Metallica uses their instruments to help tell a story
“What’s he saying? Kill me. Over and over again, kill me”
“He’s a product of your profession, not mine”
Those are some chilling quotes man
This is my favorite Metallica solo. The fingertapping at the start is so fucken smooth! 👌🏻🔥🔥
The title One comes from the first line in the chorus “Now the world is gone, I’m just one” it’s about the solitude he feels in his current state. This gets reinforced by the movie quote near the end “each man pays a debt by himself. Alone.”
My cousin showed this to me some 20+ years ago as my intro to Metallica. I listened to this on repeat for an entire interstate trip. Still get chills sometimes listening to it.
Been waiting for this one from you. Love your breakdowns
So glad you're covering Metallica, Knox! This was great; and your Master of Puppets breakdown was the best I've seen! If you're looking for your next Metallica song...I recommend "The Unforgiven". I don't think it's possible to hear it without getting goosebumps.
"Why do they call it One?"
The answer is that he is the only surviving member of his unit, leaving him one. The song title could also come from the line in the third chorus, "Now the world is gone, I'm just one"
The movie in this video "Jonny got his gun" was free to watch on UA-cam and probably still is. "How is he even alive?" He was a "One" in a million survivor from those injuries.
2 year sub here, always love your Hip-Hop/Rap reactions, but this is one of my favorite reactions you've ever done. You should definitely do more classic Rock reactions, a lot of it has some really deep meanings.
You should check out The Trees by Rush. Entire song is a metaphor and a message. An important one at that.
Even if you don't react on video, listen for yourself. It's great.
Keep it up bro! Much love.
It's really nice to see a different genre enjoying some old school metal,us metal heads enjoy this every day
I've probably listened to this song about a few thousand times throughout my 27 years on this planet but this brought me so many new things and ways to think about it! Always nice to hear from new perspectives
You’re very insightful on this stuff man, I appreciate it
I love how the double bass drums feel like bursts of machine gun fire
Lars can’t really do that anymore lol
@@Lurch685 Lol. You’re crazy. Lars absolutely can still do that lol. I mean it’s ok to be a hater……. But at least be an honest one.
@@slowpoke2661 no, he really can’t. Lars is not and never has been a good or talented drummer.
@@Lurch685 Like I said you can hate all you want……. Lars may not be as technical as drummers like Todd Sucherman for instance. And he may not play a million beats per minute like some people think he should lol. But one thing about Lars that nobody can take away is…..without Lars Metallica wouldn’t exist. He is one of if not the main reason Metallica are so successful today. Now I understand you’re just hating on Lars cause you think it’s the cool thing to do. And that’s fine you have that right to do so. But at least be honest with your hate. Lars is and has been one of the most influential and successful drummers on the planet for many years.
@@slowpoke2661 Metallica would’ve been even bigger with a real drummer.
Please do Ghost next! They’re so good!
I'd throw Pantera 'Walk' into the hat for a next Metal video (not sure if you've done it yet or not, but it's an absolute staple)
Dude, you made my day with the line "get to the chopper"
Knox you are one of the best reactors and one of a few that could do this song/video any type of justice. My take on the title "one" is the chances of all of that happening to one person and still remaining alive is one in a million. He is that one.
The song says now the world is gone im just one he doesnt know if he is the one left alive in the world he has no senses its dark
Not once does he acknowledge anyone around him hes head bangs sos in a hopeless attempt to get anyone to help him or kill him
Interesting reaction and I learned something new today, I always thought the vocalist said "Back in the war, it's much too real" and apparently, according to Knox and Genius it's actually "Back in the womb, it's much too real". Go figure.
I’ve been watching you for a long time Knox and I’ve never been more happy watching your videos then I am watching you learn you’re a metal head at heart! Love you KH and I want to say you’ve been Metal Head Certified!
I've seen this live 4 times and it is EPIC. The fireworks and the sounds of battle over the speakers with 80,000 people screaming creates an atmosphere like no other. Metallica are an unbelievable, indescribable live band
It'd be awesome if you made a playlist for your rock reactions
Great reaction and breakdown. My favourite Metallica song. Another song I would love for you to take a look at is _Wrong Side of Heaven_ by Five Finger Death Punch. Also a rather heavy song.
Absolutely agree! Knox, my metal brother...you have to dive into FFDP!
Well I wasn't expecting to be so emotional after work, but here I am. Such a powerful song both lyrically and musically. It's a masterpiece. Thank you Knox for checking out the song/video and breaking it down.
Awesome reaction! Many people have trouble understanding what the song is about, I knew you would get it! Years ago I went to a Metallica concert, hearing this live is an awesome experience. Hearing the words and feeling the vibration of the music...totally amazing!
one of my favorite Metallica songs was the first song Metallica ever did a music video for the footage switches between footage from the 1971 movie johnny got his gun and Metallica playing and seeing them playing the song. its based off a person from war that was injuried during the war by a landmine that has left him basically everything escept his torso and him being kept alive on life support and the fact that cause of this he has no voice or way to communicate that they should just kill him and that internal struggle to try to end his suffering
Great reaction my dude. Metal Mondays are a great start to the week.
You really need to do Dragon Force's Through the Fire and the Flames. You'll love the mood, instrumentals and lyrics.
Or you could do Sleep's Dopesmoker and react to what no react channel has dared to do.... Just saying.
I grew up on this music. I graduated HS in ‘90 and I had 2 older brothers who both graduated in ‘88. One brother was in the HS click called the “metal heads”. Since they were all popular and scary, I was “hands off” to any boy in HS. I was livid that I was ____ younger sister. I have a name. He was not to be messed with and by relation, I guess I wasn’t either. He’d BLAST this music when my mom wasn’t home (often!!). He had all of his prized metal head vinyls that he always kept in pristine condition. This is really bringing back memories. Somehow I don’t remember them being this dark. I knew they were heavy, but not heavy like Knox just broke it down into. Geez. I may understand my brother a bit more now. 🙈💔
Love your reactions because you understand almost EVERYTHING!!!!! love it bro, keep it real Knox
Metallica is great. But we need some Avenged Sevenfold soon.
Hope he does A Little Piece of Heaven
I was waiting for you to do this one!!! I knew you would get it!!!!
great job as always🤘
Metallica did a version of this song backed by the philharmonic orchestra. Superior in every way. It pumps the emotional journey 10 fold. You should at least hear it.
You have to react to Pink Floyd! Their song "Time" would be a good one.
Shine on you crazy diamond. Gotta be.
Of course it's an phenomenal song, but maybe for a first time listener I would rather suggest Time.
@@ryup_7887 Time is excellent.
So, so excited to see your thoughts on this one! Ironically, I was listening to my faves of yours when I got the notification for this video.🥰
was singing along, and as usual, jumped "wake me" and went straight to "take me" instead.
I love how the drum & guitar mimic machine gun fire (starts around 9:31)
Great reaction knox!!!
In this song they have the most impactful anti-war song and in "Master of Puppets" they have the most impactful anti-drug song. When Metallica chooses to make a statement they really do it.
Sticking to the same theme, I think it's time you dipped your toes into some more modern stuff, I think you might like Ghosts by August Burns Red. Their lyrical content is nothing short of profound
A brilliant reaction & breakdown as always. 🤘
Always a great reaction.. This was the first video Metallica ever released on MTV. It was actually January 20,1989…
I remember the first time I saw it I was blown away. I remember thinking how sad it was but how amazing it was at the same time… The whole album, And Justice For All, is amazing!! I never get tired of hearing this song…
Great song, right? Very evocative and moody. Brilliant.
Rappers listening to music for the fist time.
piece of trivia for you... Metallica is first band in history to perform on all 7 continents. yes they got permission and went to Antarctica and did a set down there.
Brilliant mind Knox. ❤️ How you breakdown songs and analyzing it.
Awesome Knox as always
Knox, excellent breakdown as usual. This is definitely a piece of art as a song WITH the video, but I keep waiting for a reaction of just the song, which is a masterpiece by itself. Love seeing you react to metal though!!!
I'm glad you paid attention to the background audio
It’s so great to see that you paying attention to the lyrics because there so powerful
Knox - you are the most cerebral and insightful reactor out there. You miss absolutely nothing - it's quite incredible actually. Thoroughly enjoy your reactions - keep up the great work! For further Metallica recommendations - I highly recommend Disposable Heroes - it's very powerful.
This is my fave Metallic song. Thanks for the reaction
Knox, I've been with Metallica since they started, much like I'm a Rager... Your breakdowns actually have me goosebumps.... I remember seeing this live with my mom...🤘😎
This was written from a book called "Johnny Got His Gun" I believe that was what it was called...
1am Tuesday morning; after a minute, had to put on the headphones...just can't listen to One quietly; mandatory to listen to it basically cranked up!
My ex and I found out about Johnny Got His Gun, we went to every video store looking for it...finally found it - in the library. What a disturbing movie! It and the clips in the Metallica video give me chills every time!
