Or comes from a book Whe al have are free will and we can think wat we want, wath the song is about. I personally think that it is origins are from a book or movie. But when i feel depressed. the song also fits perfectly. ever heard of freedom of speech are willpower. wankers One nevermind anyother number | Reviewer: Kuzuma | 2/19/08 FIrst of All the gunshot/explosion are taken from a movies so is some of the parts of the video. This song is one of my top list of best songs. I liek that it has a story not like many songs. Also this is not a emo song caus I am always happy when im hearing it (that includes singing it.) Uh... | Reviewer: Brad | 2/12/08 Wasn't there an interview done with Hetfield years back where he explained it? Pure speculation, it seems entirely anti-war. Obviously, you hear the gunshots, explosions, etc. And the lyrics explain a fate that would befall someone maimed by a land mine, left in a comatose state. Can't really be considered alive, but not yet dead. Just sorta in between. There's no way this song is about emo culture, as it hadn't even fully taken off then, but I could see how someone feeling depressed could use this as an (overly dramatic)summary of how they feel. And though I've been much a victim of the Guitar Hero fad, I stand by my belief that it singlehandedly ruins music. People hear the songs and instead of associating them with meaning or the artists themselves, a board with little dots on it. Novel idea, horrible catastrophe. Bandwagoners rejoice! Now you can say you've always loved a band after only hearing one song on GH. Feel proud. Matrix lolz | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/12/08 When I first listened to this song I thought it was about the matrix talking about machines and what not. Why does everybody have to bo so angrey as well, "ARGH YOUR WRONG!!11" like seriously, is it that important how somebody interprets a song? shut up this song is great | Reviewer: Sean | 2/9/08 everyone needs to settle down,this song is sweet,who cares what its about..it gets me pumped up and i dont care if it is about emo retards blowing themselves up or about johhny and his gun. Everyone keep raggin on guitar hero because its a video game, its made to have fun so frig off even if it doesnt compare anything to a real guitar. but yeah if u think your king shit because you play guitar hero, think again nerds..congratulations that you can push a button when it comes up on the screen and it makes a noise for you..try using a real guitar and making the actual noise yourself rather than electronic noises doing it for you. Question | Reviewer: Steve | 2/11/08 Without any knowledge about Johnny Got His Gun I still felt there was no other way to interpret the song, but that is just me. My first impression (because it strikes close to home) was that he was in a coma. Can anyone tell me if this applies to the movie? It isn't really relevant because the 2 are basically the same, I'm just curious. Down the same road | Reviewer: TheDamnMaker | 2/3/08 To think of it, of how some of you say the writers of the song (Hetfield and Ulrich) had a specific thought for making the song and the listener/viewer catches something different, it's understandable. After all the song, on the first layer, is about Dalton Trumbo's 'Johnny Got His Gun' book and movie, message and all. Then again, the song came on the '...And Justice For All' album, their first made after the death of their Bassist Cliff Burton, so for a second layer the song might be in honor to their fallen comrade. But since I never saw a 'In Memory of..' at the end of the music video, I might as well be wrong about it. Alright | Reviewer: K-Fran | 2/8/08 fair enough, but i don't know about anti-war. the song says, "oh please god wake me," "oh please god help me," "look to the time when I'LL live," not, "when i did live." he's lonely, no one can help him, "now the world is gone i'm just one." he doesn't even know if anyone is there, where he really is, he knows how he feels, he's helpless. "now that the war is through with me" is how he's getting over the fact that he's fubar, but he's only saying it. this song is about depression, when we are depressed we say things like "i'm okay," no? the war is inside of him, landmines are unexpected problems. he can't see anything, anything that's coming to help him, anyone. he has no one to talk to, no communication because he's trapped in himself with no way out. wtf is wrong with gh? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/08 dude this song is great on the game and even off its great. i dont see how someone can hate the game but still like this song and half the songs on it. but i love the lyrics Definetly about war | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/29/08 As the intro of the song has some heavy machinegun fire and barrage and eaven a huey helicopter is audible the song is clearly about some aspect of war. For further proof read lyrics and watch video. Which war might not be of interest. Johnny got his gun is about ww1 but helicopter sound points at vietnam etc. Also on the album poster you see a soldier cemetary with army helmet... Definetly anti war.
