This was Metallica's very first music video. I am old enough to watch it's premier on MTV. The video clips that are intertwined in the music video are from the the movie "Johnny Got His Gun" which the band bought the rights to the film so they could keep showing their music video (and using clips in live performances) without having to pay royalties. The line that got me is when the military guy asks the padre "Don't you have some message for him padre?" and the padre's response was "He's a product of your profession, not mine"
Head Bangers Ball!!!
Great 1st video
As a 22 year old I can say I did watch that a bit growing up 🤣
I was tearing this up back in 1988. Spring Break Ft.Lauderdale. Kids today just don't know but, I enjoy their first listen reactions.
@@DavidThomas-vj3eu Yeah, this song/video paints a very good and sobering picture of war and it's human cost.
Metallica was the very first legit metal band to win a Grammy Award. And this song won it for them. And they have gone on to win countless more awards of various kinds over the years. I learned to play guitar by watching, and listening to Metallica as a teenager.
Don't really want to be "that guy", but the "...And Justice" album lost to Jethro Tull. It wasn't until the Black album that they won their first Grammy.
@@pantlessreactions Metallica won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1990 for their song "One". This was the first Grammy ever awarded in this category.
Jethro Tull won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental in 1989 for their album Crest of a Knave, beating out Metallica, who were expected to win with the album ...And Justice for All.
@@scall899 my mistake then
I heard it was Jethro Tull.
?
🤔
😜
see scall899 above. He is correct. (And in 89, as a fervent Tull fan, I was embarrassed when they were even nominated for Best Hard Rock/Metal. Absurd. Metallica should have won. Tull is usually considered progressive not Metal! )
Lars' double peddle in this song is just special.... Amazing!
💯 !
its called double bass
"Johnny got his gun" is the movie from which all the video clips were taken. 1971
The greatest metal song of all time, hands down!
This video sends chills through me every time. To be trapped in your body with no way to communicate sounds like an unimaginable nightmare.
😱
I'm the biggest Metallica and Megadeth guy available. But later in your reviews, I would love a rabbit hole of EARLY Journey before commercialisation of their music. There was another lead lead singer named Greg Rollie that interchanged with Steve. I love when Phil does talk a political thought. He's right.
Well, except for morse code
What do you think becoming old is like ??? Exactly what you are describing, hold on cause the roller coster is only just about to begin lol
Absolutely a masterpiece of brilliant musicianship! I'm 46 years old,and still listen too this song almost every day
8:05
I was late to the whole Metallica scene until this album!
Initially, I swore that their music was not my thing as a youngster during the 80's. So whenever my peers would play their music, I just shrugged it off. However, in late 1988, when the and justice for all album was released, my cousin purchased the cassette tape, and we'd blast it while we were riding around ditching high school. The sound just blew me away and drew me in!
On April 31, 1989, my aunt, who was like a mother to me, lost her life to a several years long battle of cancer. The day we buried her was the day that everything fell apart for us, meaning her children and myself. We were forced to become young adults raising each other, and we went on a drunken, drugged out binge that lasted for years!
That summer, to me, became what I refer to as the summer of our youth, and this album was a strong part of it along with many others. I dove full-on into Metallica that summer as well, and it stuck with me as a favorite.
I will never forget that summer and the people I shared it with along with the music we listened to.
Since then, we've lost a great lot of or group and the neighborhood to alcohol, drugs & violence. However, the and justice for all album is still as vivid in my mind as all of the faces and memories from those years!
luckily, on 11/11/1998, I got sober and remain that way to this very day coming up on 25 years in just a few days. I cherish the memories and hold them close to my being. The good, the bad & the ugly included!
Thank you for doing this one and for liking it so much, too.
Peace, Love & Happiness - Always!
I think I was only a month or two ahead of ya.
I started hanging out with a friend who always played MoP in the car. At first all I heard is a bunch of noise. But I made up my mind to give it a fair chance.
Then, my third or fourth time through the tape, it just “clicked.”
'One' was inspired by the story (and subsequent movie) 'Johnny got his gun' about the terrible aftermath of World War I for one soldier who is unfortunate not to die in battle...
People forget that World War I was a huge, traumatic event on a global scale that had never been experienced before... The Crimean War of 1853 was a result of tensions between the European empires of the 19th century vying for power and territory... Weapons were being created that expanded the scale and breadth of wars... The American Civil War of 1861 was another regional conflict that sent signals that war games were changing w/ better guns... better cannons... better explosives... Casualty figures were rising significantly.
The invention of the 4-wheel car in 1891... the airplane took flight in 1903; by 1916 when World War I broke out in the early 20th century, the first aircraft were used to drop bombs on enemy lines... The distances covered were suddenly much greater and pretty soon, the empires of Europe (and Asia) were at war w/ each other and it was the first time in mankind's history that regional wars were suddenly outdone by a massive military conflict that engulfed a significant part of the world... It was so bad that it was called 'The Great War'... 'The War to end all Wars'... Casualties mounted in the hundreds... then thousands... then millions... not to mention the catastrophic numbers of wounded and traumatized combatants... And it came to an end only to encounter the Spanish flu pandemic that decimated the world's population by spreading w/ the soldiers who fought and aided World War I...
Of course, we know that it only set the stage for World War II in 1939... By that point, we had faster airplanes... bigger bombs... missiles... tanks... battleships ... submarines... 3% of the world's population was wiped out in World War II.
The reality of war was glorified for centuries to inspire people to enlist as soldiers and defend the glory of their homelands... That reality was destroyed by the Vietnam War in the 1960's... the 1991 Gulf War, when veterans were left untreated for PTSD and "shell shock"... denied benefits and health care after returning home from war...
Metallica did a great job w/ their songs by not glorifying it but exposing the brutality and ugliness of it all.
My grandfather fought I ww1 he was 24 years older than my grandma, very great people and smart and genuine
WWI is often said to be the worst war in human history from the perspective of the soldier. WWII is generally considered the worst war in history for civilians.
@@ryantannar5301 Toothache... stomachache... Both s++k
In any case, World War II was worse because the casualties doubled and the scope of war went ground and air.
both suck, but this dismissive attitude when somebody was just having a friendly discussion does nothing but prevent us from being able to analyze the differences. I'm not too sure you even follow what I was getting at. You also have no clue what WWI was like if you're saying that the addition of air combat made WWII worse for soldiers. How is air combat worse than having your skin melt off your bones as you cough and vomit up your internal organs? When in WWII did several million die to advance a front line justs a couple miles?
What was your point here even?@@sumonjamal1653
This song hits me right in my feels 😢😢
Same
More if you are a combat vet
The thought of being trapped in your own mind physically is terrifying
It is. What’s even more terrifying is there’s a medical condition called “Locked in syndrome” where you’re fully aware of what’s going on around you, you are fully conscious, but you can’t speak or move, you can’t acknowledge any sort of stimuli around you. They don’t know what causes it.
That’s terrifying.
I agree. I’ve just recently started suffering from some mild claustrophobia and this scenario horrifies me.
The world's greatest ROCK BAND. 👊💪🤘MetallicA
A complete MASTERPIECE!!!
To add to your point about what's going on in the world today, Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" is just as poignant.
Without that fan made video that really doesn’t go with the songs’s lyrics.
Guns and Roses "Civil War" as well
This is a masterpiece, period
One of my favorite songs it's so cool to watch people listen this song for the first time. When I see people's faces and there reaction it makes me choke up I always have this reaction and I've listened to this song since it came out. So 1000's of times. Metallica in general but the song fade to black is what kept me alive.
You and I are alike in this hahah I get all emotes when they realize this even exists. DARKNESS , ENVISIONING ME
It's brilliant. The pace of the music speeds up as he becomes more frustrated. The drums almost sound like machine gun burst. The guitar solo is chaotic as if it's his mind spiraling out of control. Metallica always infuses tempo and sound as part of the story.
Masterpiece that is a very important pillar in the World of Music 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
I didn't listen to metal in the 80's I was strictly into hip hop. This video aired on MTV and I was hooked. I started getting into Metallica and other thrash metal bands.
Taking from a movie called: Johnny Got His Gun which I rented back in 89 when this video came out! My college roommates and I including our girlfriends were balling our eyes after it was over😭😭😭😭 we all had people in the Military particularly the ARMY and MARINE CORPS!!! One of my roommates uncle served in Vietnam along with my dad in the ARMY and they said one guy got almost blown to bits stepping on an IED and both arms and legs were gone but he did not survive! THANK YOU TO ALL OUR COMBAT VETERANS AND CURRENT MILITARY SERVING IN WAR ZONES IN PARTICULAR❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Best Metal band ever.
As a Veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq War, this song is very difficult to listen to but is the honest to God TRUTH about what a lot of war Veterans are going through both emotionally and physically.
You’re right dude! I am a 24 year Army vet. Most wars are fought for gain, drugs, oil, money etc. but this is one of my favorite Metallica songs ever.
Want to hear a different side of *#Metallica* that originally got backlash from hardcore fans check out *(Nothing Else Matters)* they were being accused of selling out. *James Hetfield* responded yeah we sell out every Stadium we play LOL
This was based on a Movie "Johnny Got His Gun" and BTW I appreciated your "rant" , I am glad to see some Americans see what war is really about these days, actually since vietnam- MONEY AND POWER.
War, typically, is armed robbery writ large. "They've got it, we want it, let's take it"
I agree about the movie clips being distracting. They're important for the context and I understand why they felt the need to add them for the video, but for me this song is way more impactful when listening to the album version without all the added dialogue.
I agree
Without the movie clips giving you the narrative, the music takes you on that journey by itself. The melodic beginning as he is in a haze, trying to figure out his situation. The madness that builds in his mind as the speed of the guitars increases, then the sudden stop. Powerful.
@@donjackson5522 yep. The story is all there in the music and lyrics.
I would feel better about the movie clips if it wasn’t blatant political propaganda. This song is already brilliant social commentary about Physician Assisted Suicide. Mixing in Communist/Democracy rhetoric is just distracting.
@@robbob5302 It's an anti-war story. Everything else is brought on by the viewer's own baggage. The song itself makes no reference to any physician. Hence, "One".
This is what sold me on Metallica. I had heard some of their others but didn't pay much attention to it. This was my entry to being a heavy metal fan
I really love how y'all take such a deep dive into the song. You can tell how much you appreciate the music.
The comment by the soldier that walked said the craziest statement “He is a product of Your occupation not mine”
So many great bands came out of the 60s and 70s that you couldn't believe it could get better, and then came Metallica!
One of the best heavy metal songs of all time. Now you gotta check out a live version and the studio audio version that doesn't have all the dialouge.
Why?
@@MrCBTman Why what?????
I totally agree about the studio version needing to be experienced - I find the movie playing in the background here is distracting, especially if you've never heard the unmolested original.
@@g3synth205 Yea I think they should experience all 3. It is good to watch the video to grasp the meaning of the song but then when you hear the studio version your able to really concentrate on how amazing the instrumentals are. There are also a bunch of very good live versions of it as well.
and that is why they are the kings
The video is absolutely moving and this is one of those songs that will never die. It will always be great.
The song "One" was written by (James and Lars) all Based on the Anti-War Movie "Johnny Got His Gun" which all of the video clips and audio clips was from that movie which the band had to buy the rights to the movie so they could stop paying royalty fees every time not just for the music video being shown/played on T.V but also every time the Music Video audio version was played on the radio.
Listen to the whole album! It is in my top albums on my whole playlist
"That guy" Is Jason Robards.
A legend.
When I was young there was so little cinema and post big-band music that everyone pretty much knew all the same stuff. I can't Imagine how daunting of a task it must be for younger generations to find and absorb so many worthwhile artistic endeavors.
Be that as it may, it can't be overstated how important it is that they do so.
The "churn" that modern music and cinema has devolved into will be the death of creativity and our culture will suffer mightily should it survive at all.
If we don't promote that drive to reach back through time and draw inspiration from those greats, those people that made us feel like we were witnessing history in real time, then we've failed as a generation. Hyperbolic? Time will tell.
Much love, everyone
Great reaction!! Yes, listen to the album version too, but this video truly encapsulated the lyrics/vibe of the song.
I'd second the Fade To Black as being the next song by Metallica!! Cheers.
The overlay track is only on this video. In the main song there is no overlay
What a great channel you Two have here. Your thoughtful insights are a joy to observe. Thank you for sharing yourselves with the Universe.
ONE is on the top 3 Metallica songs. My list I listen to is huge! Metallica just keeps giving us incredible music. I dont know if you have done THE DAY THAT NEVER COMES? Its a Great Songs also
Your Metallica reactions are what brought me to your channel, I love Metallica they got me into heavy music back in the day! I see them every time they come to Toronto. One of my all time favourite songs has always been The Four Horsemen
This was my first Metallica experience seeing the video on MTV as a teenager many years ago and few songs have ever impacted me as much, the definition of living Hell😢.
I've been a life long fan ever since.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful guitar and lyrics 👍👍👍👏👏👏💯💯💯 this'll make a Playlist for sure.
Their best track imo, it's next level amazing
Love first time reactions to songs like "one". Songs that make understand why Metallica has become this huge band
Absolute living legends. No one better
Full body chills every single time!🤘
saw them on this tour with Queensryche opening.. great show.
Fade to black is my favorite Metallica song. I usually listen to it with the lights off and headphones. I’ve only been to one of their concerts and it was amazing
❤❤❤THIS IS O N E!!!!!!THIS IS ONLY,UFORGETTEBLE EXPIRIENCE!!!!!!❤❤❤
I can remember a lot of us Metallica fans were bummed when we saw them on MTV. They weren’t just ours after that. Great for the band and obvious why they did in retrospect, but at the time it was a drag. Quickly forgiven once I saw how cool the video actually was though.
Another awesome reaction 👏🏼
Thank you!! 😁
God, I miss the 80’s! ❤❤
First time I heard this was on MTV when it stood for its initials and not the crap today. That was 1988 and I was 8yrs old. I had this album on cassette.
I was 18 when this album came out and this was their first music vid on MTV not to mention the local rock station played the hell out of this song. The scenes in the vid was from a classic war movie Johnny Get Your Gun I believe is the title. Song definitely paints a vivid picture of what a disabled vet goes through mentally from the trauma of their mortal wounds. This was Metallicas last thrash album before toning it down to more rock metal level 🤘😎🤘
I’m watching this very late unfortunately….but I now see u guys r about to hit 100k im so proud of u guys and have never seen a reactor get this kind of following so fast!! Keep up the great work!!! Btw… this video is amazing but intense.
to enjoy the song you need to listen to the track only without the movie pieces
One of the best song/video ever made
just heard it for the first time… i’m blown away!!!!!!
One of my favorites
This is probably my all-time fave Metallica song. They do an AWESOME live version that is a little theatrical - great show to see in person! Also - I always felt Metallica could put out an all-instrumental album and it would have been a HIT! Instrumentally they are phenomenal.
About time!!!! lol..love you guys!
Song is a masterpiece
Yeah I remember when this first came out Metallica had never did a music video and me and all my friends all gathered around the TV when MTV premiere did and we were all blown away. It was just awesome I seen them for the first time in 1989 on that tour and I’ve seen them 13 times since then.
Best way to listen to this is with the Vol @ 11!!!!
Love these guys such fantastic musicians…my personal favorite is from their first album, Whiplash. One is a masterpiece and a great representation of how talented these guys are
*Glad you caught most of the story & lyrics you almost need to React with Closed Captioning on. Because it's a World War I soldier who lost his vision, his hearing, his arms & legs to a landmine*
Yes Yes Yes
Fade to Black
At 6:02 when the voice of the soldier cuts through and the dude opens his eyes. Yeah that's some emotional shit
They played this on Top Of The Pops. In 1988.The presenters expressions at the end was epic
I also was one of tjose who watched the MTV premiere of this video and also remember Metallica saying they would never make a video... lol.
If you haven't done it yet, " The Day That Never Comes" by Metallica is another good one that is on the war theme.
You HAVE to do the live version. Do the one from the 72 seasons tour and watch them kill this at 60 !!!!!!!!!!!
What a video! Great song and tells a story.
This is definitely their best song.
And one of the greatest music videos of all time.
This song makes my soul soar and makes me know the meaning of the struggle to survive, but at the end of it all, God has determined everything so that our life will have meaning in the spirit of struggle.😢
This Song and Video Is a Masterpiece
I loved it when i was young (16)and i love it even more today (46)
It will stand the test off time
One of the most emotional video on UA-cam 👌🖐️
Forget the video. This song banging!!
Forget ... Have you done Sabbath "War Pigs"??? Great reaction and perspective on One and connection to then and now!
Yes we did! It's here:
ua-cam.com/video/hnO-l2eN6dA/v-deo.htmlsi=SSlDfZ_HzdYiFy6d
Thank You!🇨🇦
Masterpiece.
Watch or listen to the song as its written on a album or concert. Some very awesome guitar playing!
One of my favorite. videos ever
the song without the video overlay is for when you want a banger. the song with the video is for when you're up late on a weekend and want to cry your eyes out.
i get goosebumps every time i watch the music video.
also, Fade to Black is a really good and emotional song as well. you should definitely listen to that one.
the kingggg!!!
Best song they ever made 💯
I never felt what "metal" was until I was hit with "DARKNESS ENVISIONING ME , ALL THAT I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR." like omg yes
My favorite song by them
Listen to the album version, when you wanna hear it without the overlay from the movie.
I wore out two copies of this cassette cutting grass. Good times.
As the comment directly below says, it was their first video. Metallica was not a new band, but thus far had declined to make a video. There was all kinds of anticipation about this video. This was an event, a scheduled event.
in2016 i gad a stroke and this song heloed me recover
The speed was the guys heartbeat
this should be youre number one with metallica
More proof that metal music isn't "just noise with screaming".
The film clips add alot to the video but as a band they are riveting to watch. James and Jason are straight up feral in their playing and vocals in the very best way. Kurt brings the beauty to the speed and Lars makes artillery fire you can feel. When this video premiered I would literally stand in front of the tv every time it played & I was tuned in for the first 2 months 😊
2009, so it took theem some time to get there from around 81
I meant folk rock .. not even close in 1989 .. just a head shaker .. first year they recognized metal .. and dropped the ball straight up .. this is classic song and video 💯❤️🙏✌️.. to this crazy to me is all god bless you 2 appreciate your channel and thoughts shared 💯
When they play this live they do different things with the overlay. The two times I've seen it, the first time they had a bunch of large screens suspended over the set showing a scene of WWI soldiers in silhouette marching over a battlefield. The second time was open air so the sound of machine guns at the start was created with fireworks. The back of the set was a massive video wall that showed the same scene of WWI soldiers. The movie overlay was absent.
