hip hop head

[@JoshStLouis314]

1- I can't forgive them 2- I can't forgive you 3- I can't forgive myself

[@tsho6131]

Wow. I never really thought about it, but this perfectly encapsulates the trilogy. I think it’s James coming to terms with his parents, the outside world and himself. It’s reminiscent of Tool and Maynard’s journey as he dealt with the grief, anger and acceptance of his mom’s condition from Jimmy on Aenima to Judith on Mer de Noms to Wings for Marie on 10,000 days.

[@DarkHorror45]

Unforgiven. Unforgiven 2: Unforgiven You Unforgiven 3: Unforgiven Me

[@metalmaniac8640]

I looked at it the same but in the last it was the realization that it was him all along and nobody else.

[@Knotunit]

@@DarkHorror45 So I take this key and bury it in me cuz im unforgiven three

Unforgiven II is more like “you can forgive them”.

[@scottjohnson7803]

Ivan Ereiz Seattle ‘89 is fucking amazing, but to truly understand it, he needs to hear the album version at least 10-20 times first. Alex Hefner, you should do another mini series. Blacked album version, Blackend Seattle ‘89 concert version. Peace.

[@ivanereiz2328]

I agree with you,but I was thinking about how he would react to all crazy shit on stage haha,peace my friend!

[@WesselsReaper]

To me i see the trilogy as this, these are basically autobiographies of James life: Part 1: James childhood being raised christian scientist, and the isolation he felt from that, and the rules of the religion forced him to watch his mother whither away, but not before his father leaving them. He quickly learned the rules of this fucked up world, fucked up people, fucked up religion and dubbed them all unforgiven, and learns to shut out the world, close off his feelings from everyone so he doesnt get hurt more Part 2: later in life, succes has come to him, his pocket book has grown, their band has grown, his ego has grown, their on tour all the time, reaping the benefits of being rockstars, partying, booze, women, strip clubs. Yet in the back of his mind he wonders if his woman back home will still be there for him when he comes back. Is she “unforgivable” like the rest of the world? Deep down he knows he’s fucking up but to mask it he points the finger in the other direction, are you unforgiven too? Are you so perfect? Are you going to leave me like everyone else? Still he has trouble opening up, feeling his feelings and showing them even to those closest to him. But he wants too Part3: now in his middle age life, new sobriety has allowed him to see clearly and reflect on his life. He set out with good intentions but success and fame drew him off course, so instead of chasing his dream he was chasing money, fame, feeding his false ego. Like a “moth into the flame” with the realization of all this its hard to forgive yourself let alone blame someone else for their mistakes when you’ve made worse ones. Finally hes able to more freely express his emotions to those closest to him, though its not easy. Just my 2cents!

Absolutely agree, the lyrics are stronger here than on the first two. That probably comes down to a much deeper and richer reflection from age and experience. Never understood how people say James lyrics was better on the old albums, that was a young mans mentality, this is far deeper than anything you will get on those first couple of albums.

[@HeavyRaiden]

Unforgiven III is so underrated

Un4given

[@LongandWeirdName]

@@interceptor-sc [citation needed] From all I've heard it's written because of a pair of fans with a sad story. Their young daughter was a fan until a drunk driver turned her from an is to a was. Instead of getting bitter and wanting revenge, the parents "reconnected with their daughter" by getting into her type of music. Source: James Hetfield in a chat with Marky Ramone on Virgin Radio. So... No. Not Unfirgiven 4. Anything but unforgiven 4. Not that there is anywhere to go with the chain of unforgiven. World, some other single person, internalized. Nowhere to go deeper. Unforgiven ends at 3.

Let's wait to the moment he discovers that Metallica made a full album and concert with a Symphonic orchestra. Alex, you must take a hear to it. Every song worths it, but I'd with Master of Puppets with orchestra ;).

[@marcofiorenza3323]

My favorite unforgiven. You should react to songs from this album, death magnetic. All nightmare long is prob the best song off the album ...so is the day that never comes

[@ElectronicApocalypse]

Agreed 100%

[@d00mnoodle]

Death Magnetic is my fav Metallica album, screw what everyone says about the sound man honestly. Day that never comes is one of if not their best ballad. All nightmare long is like trash/badassness overload. Judas kiss' main riff is one of their best. Unforgiven III is arguably kirk's best solo. That was just your life has the best opening to any song ever. Suicide and redemption is right after orion and to live is to die their best instrumental (but they're pretty daln close) my apocalpyse while my least fav of the album is still good and won them a grammy. Cyanide has an amazing bass line, the end of the line has badass drums and so does broken beat scared. The album is just their masterpiece 🤘

[@phreak811]

Love All Nightmare Long. "Hunt you down without mercy!"

[@NeverDieAloneMusic]

@@d00mnoodle The reason people hate the sound is because it was a product of the "Loudness War". Everything is literally turned up passed 11 and there's no dynamics whatsoever. I agree that it's a great album, but that "wall" of noise is what some/most people can't stand.

[@eifersucht14c]

Agreed. All Nightmare Long, and try to pay attention to the video. I know it can be a lot to drink in on the first go, but the song and video really complete each other.

That was super dope. Granted the lyrics displayed on the video were off in some areas, but that doesn't deflect from how AWESOME the song was, or how DEEP and introspective the lyrics themselves are. Once again, Alex delivers a great, DOPE ASS, reaction to an incredible song. Just watching him react, with all the facial tics and eyeball pops, with all the WOOHOOs and his improved headbanging, he is by far one of the best reactors out there on this social medium. They should create an Anonymous group for Hefnerds who are Addicted to this awesomeness. "Hello. I'm Dave." "Hi Dave." "I'm a Hefnerd, and I am addicted to watching Alex Hefner's reaction videos on KZbin." Great Job! If you could be as so kind, please check out "Yuve Yuve Yu" by The HU. I discovered this song in the Recommended For You columns, and I was blown away. I believe you would be as well. It's Mongolian Folk-Metal (Epic by itself.) and they use traditional instruments and include throat-singing. The song is unbelievably catchy and makes you feel like everything is DOPE. Thank you.
