The unforgiven is about James’ strict upbringing and being forced to follow a religion which stopped him being able to take any medical treatment. His mother believed in this and died because of rejecting medication which he never forgave them for

[@charleslatora5750]

Lost some nephews to same belief. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Miss you boys.🙏 Died so damn young. Grammar school ages😢 Exwifes side of family got a bunch of fools.

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

@@charleslatora5750 it's not stupid if it's your faith and let's be honest the medical industry is a freaking joke, liar and money making machine. I will never call someone an idiot for their faith. Huge difference in cult though. Religion has been around since before we could write so there's that. Not too many things have lasted for 2000 years with people. Language has evolved so vastly. Humans have evolved throughout time as well but religion has as well but it's still here.

[@timbob1145]

That's true but it's also more general than that, it's about society moulding people immediately as soon as they come into the world and making them fit into what is expected of them, not just hetfield's personal story.

Unforgiven 2 & 3 would be great to complete the trilogy. Blues metal is perfect 😂

The best version of 3 is James ad the orchestra

More country western than blues

[@RemniStrath]

You guys need to react to the trilogy of these. All 3 Unforgiven songs have different topics they hit on and they are all great. And the 3rd has a damn good solo in it

[@chrono050]

didn't even know they made a 3rd lol

[@stephenwray8117]

I love the story about Kirks guitar solo. Kirk apparently played this brilliant solo and producer Bob Rock said: ok guitarist of the year, now you’re warmed up, maybe you can do it properly. Kirk in a rage belted out the solo again and that’s the one that made the song. 😂

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Yeah we’ve seen the documentary dude…not in a rage at all….was just getting his balls busted

[@metalmellie4371]

@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 you obviously don't keep up with Metallica and their history. Kirk and the rest of the band also said, "off camara" Kirk DID get mad as hell and play the solo in a rage and it was phenomenal. He showed Bob what he wanted to do with the solo instead of what Bob wanted him to play. Hence the conversation Lars and Kirk were trying to explain to him when Bob was having his bitchfest about it. Kirk didn't want that to be in the documentary. Don't be so catty and know it all till you know the facts dude. Not trying to be a bitch but this was the story they told about it. If you'd like a link I'll provide one.

Agree, i got into Metallica thru my uncle. He'd play Metallica at my grandma's in his bedroom so the whole town could hear. I'm an Aussie so Acca Dacca is what we grew up on aswell as all other Aussie pub rock bands but i fell in love with Metallica. I hope to see them live before i go or they do!

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

Pantera all day. Metallica sold out for what was popular at the time. Pantera did what they wanted to do and gave the fans what they wanted.

[@LimerickOfficial]

@@brownwestmoreland1077 I agree with you about pantera, but I think Metallica did the same even though they didn’t make thrash metal the whole way through, In retrospect I’m glad they switched it up cus I find myself appreciating other types of music other than metal while wanting to listen to that frequently, and I’m pretty sure they thought the same way! They wanted to do something different and it’s a classic fucking album! Happy 40th Metallica!

I found a cassette tape of the black album in a gas station around 1996 when I was in middle school (Sequoyah Hollywood :P) and have been obsessed since. Also totally jealous of y'all's Acid Bath shirts.

Destiny visits us when we least expect it, lol. Coolest thing I ever found was a copy of The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell on a bus stop bench in 2020. It’s still by my bedside. The library in Echo Park was constantly out of it every time I would ask, so the Universe hooked me up. :)

[@popollo22]

Watch the video, I haven’t seen it in awhile but it tells the story I think.

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

Please do more Pantera. Dimebag Darrell is the greatest guitar player in history. No question about it.

[@SuperMegaImbaLord]

those spanish-sounding gitarre was inspired by ennio morricone and his music in spaghetti-westerns like "the good, the bad and the ugly". That's why they also often play "the ecstasy of gold" at their live-concerts.

[@Technoirz]

Interesting.

[@SuperMegaImbaLord]

@@Technoirz y they are pretty nerdy about movies/books, best example is their first official music-video(one) which has much movie-scenes from "jhonny got his gun" or overall songtitles like "call of ktulu".

[@jc2004x]

Time for unforgiven 2 and 3? Also, check out Liberate by Disturbed. Metallica was from Los Angeles but Cliff convinced them to move to San Francisco. First song I heard of Metallica was One. I was 4 or 5. I was blown away. Black album came out when I was 7. I basically knew the A side of the cassette. As for when I really started listening to them, it was when Reload came out with Unforgiven 2, Until It Sleeps, and King Nothing. Later I got more into their older stuff Although the stuff they have been puting out since Robert joined has been pretty good.

[@onemangang2010]

As much as Bob Rock ( producer on this ablum) sucks (to us hardcore metallica fans) the one thing he did right was convince James to actually practice, do warm-ups and what not to get his voice in shape. And his voice is better 100 fold for it

[@patrickhanekamp2761]

Complete the trilogy please. The solo in Unforgiven 3 is one of my favorits of Kirk. Just love how James' screaming is going over into the solo.

[@angelispawn]

I wouldn't say James has the best voice, but he has one of the memorable voices out there... you hear it and you instantly know it's him... Also The Unforgiven has 3 songs, this one from their The Black Album, Unforgiven 2 is from ReLoad and The Unforgiven 3 is from Death Magnetic Also the Black Album had Nothing Else Matters on it which in my opinion is the best metal ballad ever...

[@boonejbruce]

Would you put Nothing Else Matters above Fade to Black?

[@angelispawn]

@@boonejbruce only by a hair, but yes… personal preference I guess

[@boonejbruce]

@@angelispawn I totally agree with you. Nothing Else Matters is one of those songs that you can't help but sing along to, whereas Fade is more of a sad/introspective song.

[@drdeviant8365]

HOLY SHIT!!! Loving the Acid Bath shirts boys. What's the story behind them? Are you guys fans or...?

[@thehopefulgamer1075]

You should definitely do it *until it sleeps*. Thanks again for all these reactions 😆

[@billspivey6919]

When the Black album came out, us old school Metallica fans thought they sold out and hated it. Its grown on us. They lost the Thrash. Maybe they just grew up and evolved. Hindsight

[@Dyrtbag68]

I'm sure you'll do the whole trilogy on "The Unforgiven" now but I don't think you've hit on one of Metallica's catchiest tunes they did with a lady named Marianne Faithfull called "The Memory Remains". The chorus that she sings is easy and epic if you watch a live version with her featured. Side note I've been thinking about for awhile that I thought i would bring up to you guys, you've come a long way from when you first started this channel. Honestly go back and look at the first 5-10 videos you did compared to the production now. It's amazing. It also amazes me that there are only 75k subs for a channel that should have a ton more due to the history and insight you guys dip into. One thing I noticed a lot of the sub channels do from time to time when they go down these rabbit hole of band anthologies is they go live on youtube. It has a way of bringing your audience right in front of you and gets you that reaction right away so you can keep rolling with the theme of the show. I'm sure you both are busy but it might be something you try once or twice a month since Smokey is an encyclopedia of information and Hollywood is a shotgun blast of emotion that would be pretty awesome to hang out for an hour or whatever. Just sayin though, I can appreciate what you have done in the short time on YT and I see you. Keep up the good work my dudes!

[@RegurgiNate84]

[@tiffanykennedy8397]

The last good Metallica album

[@mfree80286]

All these years, and the people making lyric videos still can't bother to check the original source, or their own spelling... I only bring it up because it's apparently caused some confusion, especially around the chorus end. It's "I dub thee unforgiven".... I call *you* unforgiven. And he "never shined through in what I've shown", but that's fairly hard to mistake.

[@traviscummings9178]

Is it just me, or would the beginning solo of this song have gone perfectly with a trailer for RDR2?

[@LN-Lifer]

1-played out 2. Better than first slightly underrated 3. Best easily. Not only underrated for the trilogy but severely underrated period

[@clare1061]

Another of the few bands that came out after the 70s that is absolutely phenomenal. Seeing I grew up with Bands that actually sing I cannot stand headbanging bands that scream like Satan.

This is one of the toughest lyrics to date. This is child abuse, this is arbitrary regulations inhibiting him, this is him telling us what will be the end result of a life curbed by others. Hetfield is a poet and a wordsmith.
