Your comments about feeling the song on the inside, without hearing any words, is actually really apt. You know that mainline rock music is based on blues, and that metal is based largely on classical... think Beethoven, Mozart, etc. So the instrumentals are designed to evoke certain emotions, the same way they did it in the 18th and 19th centuries. Genius is the right word. These guys are masterful composers.

7:35 "what happened to the original plan?" That literally sums up the entire premise and point of view in this song. That feeling you got in that moment, THAT is what this song is all about. Think of the layout as the slow groggy waking up from the anesthesia, awake but blind, no memory of how you got there, feeling only the tubes in every hole and every vein. You start to remember things a bit faster and at 7:35, that confusion about your life in that moment happens as everything floods back. While you rock out to the rest of the song, the One is paralyzed while feeling that exploding anger and pain. And just wants to die, while you are happy to have lived through that glorious music. Hope you had a good Memorial Day.

There's really nothing wrong with the video. It gives context for the song that sometimes the instruments may distract from. While that may sound blasphemous to Metal fans, it's true for this song. It's a very lyrically-driven song until the last few minutes, hence why they gave this song their first music video and bought the rights to the movie adaptation of the book Johnny Got His Gun which the song is based off of. To put it shortly, it's about a man who goes to fight in World War I only to get blown up by a landmine and losing all of hi limbs, sight, and hearing. All he can do is feel and all he feels is pain. He's stuck in a hospital bed with no purpose to live at this point and he tries to get the doctors to put him out of his misery so he doesn't have to live the rest of his life as an armless, legless, deaf and blind freak, but they refuse.

I really agree with you when you said something along the lines of, “It’s like when a rapper is free styling and they just keep going. You ask yourself, how do they do that!?!” I love all genres of music and I’m so impressed with the talent each and every musician, rapper, band etc has that me entranced by their music! It’s all so mind blowing

Pantera's "cemetery Gates" is another great one I hope you listen too and let us know your reaction. There is also Jackyl's " Lumberjack and When will it rain" and Megadeaths, " Train of consequence", among others. I knew what your reaction was going to be when the guitar and drum solo hit. I knew you would be shocked when it happened. Thank you

I remember watching this video with my brothers when I was a little kid. I vividly remember me, as a child, knowing that my life had forever changed because of this video. Thats how powerful this song and video was for me. Every generation says this...but my generations music was littered with bands who wrote songs that would literally freeze you in place and make you rethink reality. Just like you at 6:45 lmao! Greatest reaction ever. I miss those days....

This song is so incredibly powerful, especially when you really listen to the lyrics. For those who don’t know, it’s about a man in war who steps on a landmine and loses his sight, hearing, arms, legs, etc. He’s just left in a dark, noiseless, and excruciatingly painful shell.

Everyone suggests their heavy stuff to react to. I love this band, have since about 1983. Give Orion a listen to. It is an instrumental, done with a cross of heavy metal and classical. In my opinion one of their best ever.

I've watched a lot of reaction channels. I mean a LOT. Most of them seem like they're trying to get to the end of the song so they can give their piece, and go on to the next one. My man, you feel these songs. You value what they have to offer, and what they're trying to convey. Instant subscribe, and I hope to see more to come. Keep it up my dude.
