#Metallica #AndJusticeForAll - Hudba
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.
+James Baxter
That is awesome...
Am I the only one who thinks those movie dialogues makes it better?
Zikaksa Cisiriza it makes it darker and creepier which is cool
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.
I have the album on my phone but I prefer listening to this tracks music video because of the movie parts
Metallica actually bought the rights to the movie! I still need to watch it one of these days!
They made us watch it at our school. This was before the song. I forgot the name of the movie but, yeah, it left you not wanting to kill anyone. I'm over that, now.
If you are reading this and you are stressed about life I just want to assure you that everything will be ok

@@lnxrth I just made a song inspired by this bro, honestly the story intrigued me, it’s the only vid on my channel, thoughts would be appreciated frl
Of course it's all groovy baby
Nah I heard Heart shaped box by nirvana and it reminded me of this song, so I spend 45 min looking for it. And I finally found it.
Hold my breath as I wish for death...
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🥰🥰

"Help me mother, im having a horrible nightmare and I cant wake up." That sent shivers down my spine.
It gets me everytime.
Yeah it made kind of sad
The fact that he calls out for his mom for comfort is what really gets me, this video always made me sad when i was younger
@@davidgarza1977 It reminds me of saving private ryan.
Yeah me to
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 🫡😔🫡
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 ✋️ 🤣
RIP USMC LT. MATTHEW LYNCH. MISS YOU BUD. A LEGEND AND TRUE HERO. I HOPE IF THERE IS A HEAVEN YOU ARE THERE WHERE YOU BELONG. AMEN.

my son died on May 24 2022 on his motorcycle. He was 37 and started listening to Metallica as quite a young man because I would be playing it. This was one of his top 10 Metallicafaves. RIP
JOSHUA RAYNE TOLLIVER. you are eternally loved ❤️😢
❤️❤️
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!! ✊🏿
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?

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..
Lol
I wasn't a metal fan as a kid, but this song *blew me away* when I first heard it in 1989, at age 18.
I first heard this band when i was 8 and now, 6-7 years later, i am a very big fan of Metallica🖤
@@geenmemeisillegaal i first heard this band in the womb, years later I’m still listening🖤
@@acomou3562 was it MUCH TOO REAL?
18 years old hearing for the first time, usually a big rap fan but something about nowadays makes me want to Run around screaming anti war, how history repeats itself over stupid things
@@rickashleysrollofricks7724 War?
RESPECT TO METALLICA. LEGENDS
SO REAL
2024 anyone?
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...
After really learning what this song was based off, the line "now the world is gone, I'm just one," really hits a lot harder
@fdggfh gfhgfgf I looked it up?
Please elaborate, I'm too lazy to do the research.
@@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. The song is about how he's a prisoner inside his own body. He's lost the ability to tell if he's awake or asleep. He's only one, hence the name of the song.
@@metalben005 thanks, now I felt ambivalence for the fist time, as I'm happy for the quick response for this information and also saddened by its outcome.

"He's the product of your profession, not mine"

I'll be 48 Nov 7th! I still rock on
It's sad and scary to think that there were soldiers who went through this, this is one of my favorite songs of all time and the meaning behind it is one of the reasons
I agree, hell I'm a younger army veteran (28), and was deployed to Afghanistan in 08 and it was pretty bad, but I can't even imagine how horrible it must've been for the older veterans in the Vietnam era and the world wars. For all you older vets, I salute you all, you're the true badasses out there. lol
KitariFox I thank you for your service, and definatly, those guys are the true heroes and badasses, they went to the very depths of hell and back

Not a huge Metallica fan....but this is one of the hardest hitting songs of all times. The lyrics, music and video make this an absolute emotional masterpiece.

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.

sorry for your loss
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.
Its crazy we just liked this music as teens but as adults it resonates deeply enough to make you cry.

@@mickjagger8439 So have I. Hence the $16,000 I just burned through on cocaine in the last 4 months following an ill-timed nervous breakdown after my Army buddy blew his brains out, though we were in Iraq in April 2003… and yes, in the invasion. But we got that freedom oil! Coincidentally I’m on day two of doing blow and Jameson. But I’m in my hammock on my back porch at the moment, so everything’s pretty alright, alright, alright… until I need to go pickup more cocaine, which will be in about 30 minutes… but I’m in Denver where the lawless Wild West is alive and well and you can do what you want, especially if you’re a combat veteran in these politically polarized times.

My comment was deleted by the liberals who operate Hydra because I said I was presently “nasal vacuuming something that rhymes with bobaine”, because they know what’s good for us. Also I said I was a combat veteran who served in Iraq in 2003, and that I needed to pick up more powdered Coca-Cola. But thankfully the liberals protected all of us against things they also do on islands filled with children.

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 found it very difficult to read , I’ve seen my fair share of shit but dam that masterpiece had me an emotional wreck , to take that rare piece of literature and turn it into a completely different art form and still make it hit home as hard is something truly incredible.

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.

Also ironic since that's the military man saying it. The war was what left him like this.
Pengalor the point being the military expects you to die in such situations, not live on and drain resources. It is well known that one of the most effective ways to destroy an enemy force isn’t by killing them but by critically wounding them to the point where they can no longer sustain a offense because of the efforts to help the wounded.

Really Bold Band album in 2024 yall
This song is about a book published in 1939 called Johnny got his Gun. I Just finished it. It was banned and reprinted several times. It's about a man who loses his arms legs ears nose eyes mouth jaw fighting in WWI but survives. Stuck in his own mind years go by as he tries to find a way to communicate. He thinks of Morse code and spends so much time trying to get them to understand what he's trying to accomplish by tapping his head on his pillow. Communication. He finally gets a nurse who understands Morse code and a doctor comes and asks what does he want and Joe tells him he wants to be put into a glass case and travel as an exhibit and show what the results if war and fighting for liberty looked like. Show everyone the truth of war. Show everyone what happened to him to make them think if it would really be worth losing their lives even though there will always be war. The doctor left him without a response and came back later to tell Joe "what you're asking is against regulations" and then they drugged him and he went to sleep. Forced in silence and stuck in his mind until the end of his days. Basically they wanted him silenced because if the world saw him they wouldn't agree to fight. That's where the book ends. Period.I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. It was okay. Really makes you appreciate life itself and your abilities. Wasn't a fan of the ending but I understand them not showing him to people. I can understand why it was banned in 1939 as it was the start of WWII . Will not read again but I'll never forget it.
I know you said 2.5 stars as a rating but I’d say if it’s stayed with you as a concept the book did its job. If that makes sense!
You have links for this? I'd love to hear this story
I just googled it. It's a book by Dalton Trumbo, which is such an amazing coincidence. We just got a biopic about him starring Bryan Cranston. If it wasn't for this comment I'd never know about it....I was reluctant to watch the movie...now I MUST do it. Thank you!
Bad bunny
Can someone tell me whether it is a real story or not ? i am confused
LYRICS
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
Can you also put the lyrics of the movie that appears in the video?
🤟🔥
🤟
Still hits hard in 2042. 🎸
The best Metallica song ever
Nope! Green Hell is clearly the greatest song anyone has ever come up with.
Agreed
@@bystanderbutch3509 Misfits cover, dude. And not even better than the original.
@@dner75-xh9le Am I evil is a cover but it still rocks.
@@bystanderbutch3509 Totally agree. I actually like it better than the original.
“He’s a product of your profession… not mine” that gave me chills
They definitely picked the right movie clips for this video.
@@Shootmaster44 the song is about the novel that the movie is based off
The sheer irony in the line is so horrifying.
@@shannoko That was the Chaplain saying that line to the Colonel or General who’s job was completely different..

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.
Metallica the best band of metal
Top 10 best Metal songs ever made. This shall echo through generations!
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
i remember when i first saw this when i was 10 it scared the shit outta me.
Me too
Me too. That night I thought I'd wake up with no eyes or nervous system
What is the story on the video? I have read once about an experiment where one man has his nervous system "stoped" including with hearing and seeing/ he couldn`t hear, see or feel anything/. One moment he started screaming to be killed, he even tried to kill himself. He said he was hearing voices.
Is it this about what it is in the video? Every time i listen to this song i imagine this story. I am seeing the official video on the song for 1st time now.
+Teodor Monov No, it's a story about a soldier who comes back from war - blind, deaf, unable to speak, no arms, no legs, no face to speak of. He's trapped inside a body that is useless with only his thoughts. It's gut-wrenching. Read the book. I read it in college. It's a book you will never forget.
What book?
we waking up and staring into the deep abyss on June 7th, 2025 with this one
Anyone in the year 2034......this song never ages
This song especially fascinates me. It starts off calmly. Like hope fading. Then there is an upswing that comes with hatred and anger. But it ends with the silence that comes last with death. It is so good that it is one of the few metal pieces that you can listen to when you are happy or sad.
"Death, has a dignity all its own..." says the officer, as his infantry is turned to hamburger.
I love hamburger
@@hfffju7913 well, sack up and enlist. The Marine Corps and Army will give you a great chance to become hamburger.
kinda
Peaks twice and the ending is hardest
"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
Best guitarists and singer of the 80"s and 90"s. That voice screams carnage!
1989 Metallica is the true definition of great music.
gonna do a presentation about the history of this masterpiece of a song in class. Wish me luck folks
My respects fella, tell us how did it go
aurel good luck!
Did you do well?
aurel Luck !!!!

Did you just assume the teacher’s gender?! SHAME!
This is the most powerful music video I've ever seen. And I usually don't give a shit about music videos.
Black Francis the scenes are from the movie, Johnny's got a gun.
Black Francis this and One by Nas for me
beautiful is how I would describe it lol
✊
Watch the movie..."Johnny Got His Gun"..which is what this footage is from, its very depressing.
I’ll be here hopfully
2024 still who listening... The legend band
The headbanging at 4:40 is beyond majestic

Raise the lords words.
This song hits different these days...
Yeah, this and War Pigs.
I guess right now you can truly understand these songs.
@@Mikoai and deep purples child in time (the music video version)
Feel the same men... Hope the things get better
Fr
For me it hit different in '01
There will be a time where all of this generations music will be forgotten, enjoy this and it's meaning while you are here and it is real for one day all will be lost

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.
I get chills at his sentence 5:37 . He is the product of your profensention not mine
Just love it and the song
One of the greatest rock songs ever, period!
When you want to say that it's one of the greatest rock songs. Period! That's a very far stretch! You can make the argument that the song (One) by Metallica is certainly in a league of its own like (Bohemian Rhapsody) from Queen. When you make the argumentation that any Rock songs is the greatest! That comes from opinion, biased opinions and music taste! I'm a casual fan of Metallica! No real music lover can deny this band's Talent! However there's enough competent music critics to tell you that Metallica is definitely not the best...
Prayers for James that he overcome the devil of addiction. No shame in getting help
I was thinking the exact same thing ✊💟
still alcohol ?
Yes. Thank you for such kind words.
He will be ok! The love for and from his family will make him overcome it! I pray for that as well.
Je vais prier pour James.
I like to imagine that "One" is the sequel to "Disposable Heroes". They are both about the same soldier, he doesn't die at the end of "Heroes", and goes on to suffer a fate worse than death in "One"
I have also thought of this too hey
Or a sequel to For whom the bell tools
Me too
@@vantaie2350 Could definitely be the case. I always got the sense that the soldier being talked about in this song is an american soldier. Not a soldier from the Spanish civil war. I guess it's up to the viewers interpretation.
The guy kills himself in disposable heroes
The magnitude of this video shows the size of Metallica 4ever
Why does this only have 300 million views it should be listened to by everyone on earth
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.
fr
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!!!😅
I'll never forget seeing this video for the first time.
+TwealK SOOOO true!
it changed me for good
Me too
lol Yeah, thinking of that guy having no arms, legs, and vision while saying "Kill me" made me feel sad for him. Not many Music Videos can give you so much emotion like this one (Not pun intended) did. "One" by Metallica is one of the best Music Videos ever made, period.
+Pyrobear 2000 , he doesn't even have a tongue he can't speak... what you hear is only in his mind
living ..not as young people live...just live in interior...imagining...things
Bro this song is a masterpiece
This song is timeless

Bro...this movie is too. If you haven’t seen it, watch it...man
@@stevestone1138 what’s it called?
@@febvan651 Johnny got his gun. Great Movie
I'm not a metal guy but this songs a masterpiece
What do you typically listen to? (I am not attacking you I am just genuinely curious)
@@Alaskan-Armadillo now I'm old and with streaming anything, but my roots are more alt-rock and hip-hop always loved Dylan and some other classics.
Bro listen to sober by tool I promise it will change ur life
