That should clarify that for you retards out there. It even shows clips from "Johnny Got His Gun". Not clips from a My Chemical Romance video. And it takes the simple act of reading the lyrics or listening to the song to hear/see: LANDMINE has taken my sight... ect. Not about some poor "abused" emo fag. Emos suck big fat dicks, and Metallica would never make a song about them. Because they suck. I love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/25/08 This song is pretty awesome. I've been a fan since I heard enter sandman in '99, and I gotta trll u, this is a masterpiece. I got 1 problem with it though: the hook to this sounds a lot like the intro to fade to black. i agree | Reviewer: James | 1/23/08 I totally agree with you man. Just cause you play the game Doesn't make you an artist. sure the game is fun but i also play the guitar and its tough stuff. for Guitar Hero dudes | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/21/08 Dudes, please... STFU! If you play that stupid game, it doesn't mean you know squat about music. It doesn't matter what this song is all about, but to claim you know better than anyone just because you play gh, is just LAME. If you actually do play a real instrument, then maybe you have something to say, but, you aren't an artist if you think that a piece of art will be exactly the same for everyone. An artist will always know that his creations will be viewed differently by a lot of people. Critics are just messing with the technical part of the said art piece. Not with what it is saying to the reader/listener/viewer. The song it's self | Reviewer: James | 1/20/08 I have been a hard core Metallica fan since i first heard the song One back in 1997. I have all of the Metallica albums and listen to them everyday. Why some gay ass emo punk suddenly hears this song on a video game and suddenly thinks its abou his life is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. I don't know about you guys but when has there ever been a story on the news about some emo fag blowing himself up? Never. this song is for hardcore fans as many of you are and not for a kid who hears it one day and thinks he's a fan. Ever thought about analysing ? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/08 Serious are you guys even trying to analyse the real message of this song and which is the same of the book ? Ok it talks about a soldier who lost legs, arms... by a landmine so what ? It's written so it's normal that you can tell it. This song, same as the book, is not only critisizing war but also people who are suffering at hospitals where doctors have to keeo them alive even if the patients can't do a shit. They want us to understand that people are suffering at hospitals and must stay alive instead of helping them by killing them because they won't be able to do anything for the rest of their lives. So next time fucking tro to analyse the message instead of just repeating what's written in the song. ok | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/18/08 i don't see how anyone can say that this song can mean different things to different people, there are many songs like that but this is not one of them. this is a song about a man from the book Johnny got his Gun by Dalton. there is no other meaning, sorry to say. the guy gets his face his legs his arms his hearing his sight his ability to speak taken out from an artillery blast in world war one, that is the topic of the song end of story. Ermm | Reviewer: Tom | 1/10/08 This song IS about Johnny Got His Gun. Awesome movie, metallica also bought the whole rights for the movie just to have those few clips in their video. WikiPedia you ignorant bastards! Emo kid? wtf? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/10/08 I honestly don't see how some people can think of this as being an emo kid. Since when the hell has an emo kid went about life, then get blown to hell by a landmine? I can agree on what most of the previous reviewer has stated. I myself am a teen that plays Guitar Hero, and for songs that have fixed meanings like this I've heard good interpretations to downright stupid ones from my peers. But I guess that what interviews of bands and websites like these are for: so my peers and everyone in general can learn meanings behind 'fixed topic' songs. But this is just my opinion, you guys go ahead and think whatever you want. Objectivity in listening | Reviewer: some dude | 1/8/08 I realize I lost a lot of people in the title of my post. In any case, people can take a song to mean whatever they want it to mean in the sense that no one is going to stop them (or even cares), but songs like this one do have an fixed meaning. In this case, it's a reference to the aforementioned book. I was already thinking before I read this thread that emo kids would think it's about the "absolute horror" in their lives, and it can be for them if they want it, but the unidisputable fact is that the band had a particular topci in mind when they wrote it. I think it's interesting that music is the primary art form where people try to reinterpret the meaning of the work into whatever they want it to be. Typically with fiction (for example), people come to a consensus, enjoy their own impressions on a personal level, and accept the writer's intended meaning. But I guess that's a lot to ask of emo kids who fisrt heard this song on Guitar Hero. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
