Therapist reacts to One By Metallica (ft. Jake Luhrs)

We need a Fade To Black reaction like this one.

This is Metallica's first video and it helped my mom and I connect more. It came out when I was in high school, listening to heavy stuff like this that my parents didn't get. But when I showed my mom the video, she remembered watching the movie when she was in high school. We sat and watched it while I told her the lyrics and she explained the movie. One of my better memories.

When this video came out no one had seen anything like it before. Most people who saw it had never HEARD anything like it before. This was mainstream culture's introduction to Metallica. To this day I think it's still one of the most stunning pieces of audio-visual art ever created.

You guys have no idea how many kids in the '80s and '90s worldwide developed anti-war beliefs because of bands like Metallica and Megadeth.

What a brilliant reaction from the girl. 😮 "This is a piece of art" She got it right away

"Someone" (he knows who) was talking during this verse: "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." You must react to Master of Puppets (lyric video).

I went to school every morning riding my bike listening to Metallica. I have a bond with my father through Metallica. My dad always said One was his favorite song. Dad passed away two months ago after we learned he had been hiding a fight with cancer for over a year because he didn't want to be treated differently. I have always loved Metallica and this song, but now the connection means everything to me. The memories of my father that live in Metallica's music. Dad I love you and I miss you so much. You protected me for 36 years and I love you for it. Rest easy now my superman.

This was metallicas first music video as they were opposed to them for seeming mainstream or sell outish. James wanted to do something more meaningful and definitely succeeded.

Boy robbed all of us from One of Metallica's most iconic verses. This was Metallica's first music video and so far hasn't been topped by them. The crossover to ptsd and addiction interpretation to being trapped and therefore hopeless is spot on. Peace/JT

Great react, except for when Jake was talking over a critical verse of the song. Ughhhh. It says "Landmine, has taken my sight, taken speech, taken my hearing, taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul, left me with life in Hell" Powerful!!

My interpretation of the juxtaposition of the heavier and quieter parts is that it's supposed to mimic his quasi-wakefulness, with dreams of his childhood shifting into nightmares of the war and back, as his mind races between agony and apathy.

The book Johnny Got His Gun should be read by every person

A piece of art, indeed.

Also being trapped in your own head is a scary thought but lost his speech, sight, limbs but yet he’s alive scary

This song helped me get through my High School years, still my all time favorite song ever IMHO

There's a live performance of them performing this song on The Howard Stern show and James opens up about the lyrics, about his struggles with mental health during his teenage years which inspired the song. They found the movie for the video and intertwined them beautifully and even bought the copyright for the movie to make the video easier to show. Look up the Howard Stern clip and listen to James's story. Gives an entirely new perspective on the song.

I am genX and when I speak to my younger social justice minded friends about the male side of oppression I always tell them to watch this video. Often they don't like or appreciate heavy metal until they do. 🤘

When I was deep into my addiction I used to go to bed every night wishing for death and then cursing each morning because it didn't happen. Went to prison on drug charges, then cleaned my act up. Went back into the prisons,(including where I did time), for 10 years doing ministry and counseling. Will celebrate 28 years clean and sober in June

The doctor initially believes he's been decerebrated by the explosion, and therefore can't feel or think, hence our hearing him voice the phrase "Had I not been so sure of this, I would not have permitted him to live".

Just love it when people hear old Metallica songs for the first time and they just sit there in the end with their mouth open 😁😄 Some of these old Metallica songs are pure excellence in musical art 👌🏻
