      38 yo white woman here, and metal is MINE! haha. I listen to everything really, but an electric guitar gets me every single time! Bruh, get you a guitar and get an app on your phone. Can't remember the name of it, but you can learn to play if you want. Nothing stopping you! All the black/white stuff is just noise. One of my absolute favorites is Jimmy Hindrix; a black guy killing the guitar. Jawga Boyz have a black guitar player and this dude is ANOTHER of my favorites. He'll kill on a guitar too. :)

    As a kid seeing this anti-war video play on MTV, this song took away my innocence. It was frightening, disturbing, yet compelling and opened my eyes not only to the pain and reality of war, but the potential pain and suffering this life has to offer. It’s definitely the most powerful song and music video I have ever seen. It’s perfect and timeless!

In the war he lost his ability to speak and hear AS WELL as losing his arms and legs. He had no way to talk to folk..but remember he was a soldier right? The ONLY method he had to try to communicate with people was thru morse code (a series of dots and pauses like you see people tapping on them lil machines in war movies sending messages). When he was bobbing his head he was trying to communicate in morse code, and one of the soldiers standing around his bed in the hospital caught it, and realized that he was asking them to just kill him because he wasn'T capable of killing himself.

      Is about what's more up to date war there is alot more to it you may have to watch it a couple times or just pause it. It is very heart felt true statistics you can read and pay attention to who you see inthe video reacting with who and the lyrics. You learn alot about what is truly happening with our soldiers when at war and what they go through if they make it back home. You pay attention to all of these things it will reduce you to tears. I didn't care for it just hearing it on the radio but watching the video taught me alot more than I thought I new. I'll be 54 this Saturday December 1st 2018, I'm not to proud to admit when something can make me cry.
      There is no physical pain that can but paying close attention to this video absolutely but I've always have had a great deal of respect for anybody that has served is serving or will be.
      You opened the gate do a true reaction watching this for the first time and let people see the great guy I just discovered with your open minded reaction to this video.
      There is no shame in tearing up in a reaction video we are all human brother and that is what people truly want to see. Your a good man. By watching your reaction to "one" I can tell you will realy be touched by "The Wrong Side Of Heaven" I have watched it a couple times but I can't watch it much more maybe once in a while it's got that strong of an impact.

    Yes, this is one of their best songs recorded, and one of my favorites. I commend you for branching out to different genres, Sir Shaq. Greatness is not achieved by living and working in one's comfort zone. So, go get it!❤✊

    Thousands of years ago when me and my fellow travelers were crossing the Bering strait land bridge, this song is what kept us going, we would gather each morning, noon and night and play it for all. It truly kept us going, pure classic

    Raps always been my favorite kind of music, but I've always liked the instrumentals in rock. Learning guitar has given me a new level of appreciation for real musicians. Great reaction man, keep em coming.
