This song is about James's childhood and being raised in a super religious household. You need to check out #2 and #3 as well to finish out the story

[@Tommy-he7dx]

Another great (but sadly underrated) track about James' religious household is "The Cure"

[@kingklash666]

⁠@@Tommy-he7dxDamn I always sleep on ‘The Cure’ now I’m going to listen to it right now.

[@tubelious]

@@kingklash666 a bit more angrier, that one.

[@anasazidarkmoon]

I hope he does watch them. 2 and 3 are tied for my favorite Metallica song.

[@andysalter7192]

No it's not , it's about not being able to forgive one's self and letting the past define your identity. The God that Failed is about James Childhood in a Christian Science Household and watching his Mother die of Cancer as she wouldn't seek treatment due to her Religion. Same with Dyers Eve, but the Unforgiven Trilogy is the story of one's inability to attain forgiveness in themselves and number 2 is finding another who's is Unforgiven also and number 3 is going life alone still on that search .

[@sean_b_drummer]

You need to hear all three parts! 🔥🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽

[@Cid_1]

Absolutely

[@BrowncoatInABox]

Absolutely then needs to place them together and analyze all 3 the whole story

[@mack98ification]

It's crazy that initiallyJames didn't even want to be the singer but he did it and he is one of the most vocally animated singers. You can feel his words.

[@TeenTyrant]

He’s the Front Man of all time. Other Front Men have to speak full sentences to the crowd to rile them up : “Are you ready?!?!” James Hetfield only has to say one word: “YEAH!”

[@jeanpierreochoa9920]

Please more Metallica. Their music is so great

[@caiodesazanin9648]

metallica S&M live is perfect

[@gypsydb5805]

The entire Black Alblum is a must listen.

[@Angelos42]

Couldnt click this fast enough. I really REALLY hope you also do Unforgiven 2 and 3. The throughline in lyrics and themes is absolutely fantastic imo.

[@stigpetersen9701]

Four words; Much more Metallica, please 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@avtomatt554]

Your analyses are pretty much always spot on. A lot of Metallica's songs from the Black Album and before are about James' hyper-religious upbringing and how it failed him and his family. Leper Messiah, The Unforgiven, and The God That Failed all tell different parts of the same story of his early life. It's heartbreaking.

[@ImThe5thKing]

Dyers Eve is the biggest standout to me

[@nim4464]

@@ImThe5thKing fr

[@alexrust2252]

Leper Messiah is more about televangelists

[@keithiverson6687]

⁠​⁠@@alexrust2252yes almost every hard rock and metal band had an anti televangelist song after several scandals emerged in the late 80’s. Miracle Man, Jesus He Knows Me, Holy Smoke, Read Between the Lies to name a few. A bit of retribution after a campaign of fear against metal by the tv preachers claiming them to worship Satan, etc.

[@brandymoran9646]

I’ve been watching you for almost a year now, and I’m continuously fascinated by how quickly you grasp the meaning of lyrics!!!

[@Zinetha]

It's amazing, isn't it? For me, it can take from a few minutes to a few months to fully grasp what a song is about. (But maybe I'm also a bit of a perfectionist.)

[@susanconstable2113]

Same!

[@melissacompton565]

Yes! He's so quick on so many levels. Musically, lyrically, and emotionally. So good.

[@robert103515]

So quick, that perhaps it’s not his first time…..

[@Zinetha]

@@robert103515 Not on all older songs, no. He's already told us that he has heard some of these before, but it's either been years or he's never paid attention to the lyrics or seen the video, etc. This song ain't that hard to get, though. Thrash metal and heavy metal (the subgenre) in general, not that complex on the lyric department. (Simple doesn't equal bad, btw. I think it's good the world has both.)

[@brallin94]

Man, you never cease to amaze me on how quickly and accurately you figure out the meaning of lyrics. As many others have said you should do parts 2 & 3 now. 🤘🏻🖤

[@cherylphillips1361]

Knox, ya nailed it by the end of the first chorus. The constraints were religion. James had a very strict upbringing.

[@Next2Null]

One of my favorite songs by Metallica, glad to see a Knox breakdown🤙Stay safe my man

[@mattblatchley2061]

Hell yes Knox! I've missed Metal Mondays!

[@nathandts3401]

The pop and K Pop definitely isn't my thing.

[@gplay6698]

It would be a blessing if you were to react to other 2 parts of Unforgiven,because of your fenomenal ability to understand the lyrics and because those other 2 parts have a great story that continues onto this song.Cheers bro,best of wishes to you!

[@stevenlaurin6059]

When heavy metal makes a ballad and nails it 1000%

[@adel3694]

Thank you Knox for that breakdown…. As a Metallica fan I heard this song for thousands of times , but You have successfully pulled tears from my eyes for the third time in my life.. The first was in 1991 in my hometown in Saudia Arabia, I was 18 , the song hit me so hard I thought I was singing with tears, living the song 🥲 Metallica fanboy ever since. The second time was 2 weeks ago in the First Metallica concert in Riyadh , Saudia Arabia @50 years old. I was head banging for an hour , then this came on , I froze and stared with tears running down my face in the middle of 10k people , my daughter (17y) next to me stopped grooving , and shouted “what’s wrong daddy?!” I smiled at her and shouted “ everything is Right! ,, I will explain later!“ … I never did , I never could… until I saw this video. So thank you. This epic concert is on KZbin, it shows how much we as a culture is evolving, might be worth a reaction. Forever a Knox Sub Adel Riyadh ,Saudi Arabia

[@Portlandpeeps]

I'm confused by these comments. I'm versed in sarcasm but I'm confused . Your adorable. I gotta mute you and react by your facial expression

[@SykoNerd]

Loved this song since it came out ✌️🫶 luv ya Professor

[@kristalcornwell]

Welllllll fuck. Ive loved this song since I was 14.... It took a Knox reaction and breakdown for me to understand exactly why it resonates so much. Damn knox you let me understand a song i didnt understand properly for 26 years

[@EllaSilentDragon]

This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. And I didn’t understand a word back then. And later I never really thought about the lyrics. But now I realize how beautiful and profound they are. ❤ Thank you for dissecting this song! 😊

[@thedominator87]

now to do the other two parts as this is a trilogy (unforgiven, unforgiven 2, unforgiven 3)

[@kellyhouse4263]

Trilogy for sure Knox! Great Reaction!🤟🔥

[@ThankYouStayedHere]

Music is such a great vessel to explore these complicated feelings of anger, resentment, injustice, loss, rejection, isolation etc.

[@philipsapp7852]

This is and has been for over 30 years now, my favorite song of all time! 🤘🤘🤘

[@marie-anneguibereau7344]

Great reaction, you really got the philosophical aspects of this great song.

[@bethgentle6755]

I really hope you do the other unforgiven tracks 🙏 The unforgiven 2 is one of my all time favourites. Great reaction as always Knox ❤

[@Thechaosmaster1997]

Really? Unforgiven III is my favorite -.

[@Iamone1111]

He should definitely give 2 a listen that's my favorite

[@bethgentle6755]

​@@Thechaosmaster1997They're all awesome but 2 holds a special place in my heart ❤

[@Thechaosmaster1997]

@@bethgentle6755 Couldn't agree more.

[@olm8829]

I like all three parts, but the third is my personal favourite because I connect with its lyrics the most. I am the main architect of my own misery, there’s no one else to blame, but me myself and the world itself.

[@unspeaky]

You should do Disposable Heroes! You're good at picking apart song lyrics so this would be great!

[@lisalisa758]

Ain't gonna lie I love that you disect the meaning of the lyrics, music and the video. You did the same with Avenged sevenfold, Nightmare. Hit the nail on the head!

[@AnibalAvelar]

This was the first song heard at 1991 from Metallica, I knew they exists before but some reason I didn’t hear them before but after I heard this song they caught me forever.

[@Nahor1997]

Unforgiven is a trilogy, you need to do Unforgiven II and Unforgiven III

[@hmvenom]

The rhythm section underneath that lead gets me every time so powerful!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@FlameMF]

Knox your reactions are so good man! The way you break things down so well and makes me think about things from a different perspective is what keeps me coming back!

[@Thunderdkfox]

love Your reactions cause you also analyse the songs so well. Looking forward to the next metal reaction :P

[@Jjoker74]

NEW BLOOD JOINS THIS EARTH! Great opening line! So much power

[@carsoncummings2683]

Metallica eye of the beholder you should also check out unforgiven 2 and 3 great songs

[@jerm711]

2 and 3 are good too. This was the best of the 3 though. One of my favorites.

[@Ranganation]

Even better with S&M, in my opinion

[@Danj1095]

Think I like unforgiven II a tiny bit more! But classic! 🤘

[@DogDocKat]

This is one of my absolute favourite Metallica songs. Thanks for reacting to this! Definitely need to check out the other parts ❤❤

[@ticamatthews]

Much love and appreciation Knox from Kentucky ❤️🙏❤️ Merry Christmas fam 🎄

[@user-zg5gm1wu6t]

No matter what you do, no matter how much you sacrifice give or whatever no one’s gonna like you because of one person

[@wilhelm2ndthefirst]

Hell yeah

[@TruckingShooter]

Need to listen to The Unforgiven 2 and 3 now to though, they all kinda tie into each other... but this one is prolly my favorite out of all of them.

[@games.c123]

Love watching Knox discover Metallica. He has a lot of good insight into the lyrics and videos

[@candiewiegel1609]

Love your break downs this was 🔥

[@yilomina2047]

This takes me back ... the sound of my youth!

[@RockinMamaT]

Great reaction. I so love Metallica. I've been lucky to see them 5 times in Toronto. They are so incredible live it's ridiculous❤ Much love from Canada Knox❤🇨🇦

[@Melanie-AlwaysJustMe]

I was only lucky to see them live once. Way back in 1987. I'll never forget it. Me and my brother were allowed to go. We were up close too. It was just the most awesome experience 😎

[@JoseGarcia-rs4qd]

Dude i so love metal mondays 🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘

[@FJCheli]

I really need to see Knox do some Pantera and Slayer

[@meganflick82]

Love this song! Also there is an unforgiven II as well. ❤your reactions my guy. Would love to see you get into some Ice Nine Kills soon! Keep up the good work!

[@leahdoerr731]

Finally!!😊 you're awesome keep it up

[@brian_db]

You should do Sad But True by Metallica, great song with a great message. Would love to see your breakdown.

[@exposeplayzYT]

Love your reactions. Keep it up!

[@MarkyMark8484]

Metallica also does an awesome job singing through their instruments. Kirk does a great job of melodically coming in with the pre solo than building up and up with the main solo. You can feel the emotions through the guitar work. One of the many things i love about this band.

[@glenseivers8318]

Great reaction Knox.

[@voidwraithprime8521]

One of my favorite guitar solos.

[@dccraig03]

Now it's time for #2 and #3. You will get the entire picture. Such a powerful set of songs about growing up repressed by parents who went off the deep end in religion.

[@vincegedeon6583]

You did such a great job of breaking down the songs meaning! I love The Black Album its a 💯

[@jessicarae2k12]

This song has 3 parts, part 2 is my favorite of the and was unironically my lullaby growing up. All I listened to as a kid was Metallica thanks to my dad. 😂🖤

[@TheShapingSickness]

First video I see from you, really enjoyed it. The unforgiven was the first Metallica song that I truly loved, I was only like 10yo when my older brother got the cassette, and I remember I kept asking him to rewind the cassette so that I could hear the song once again. English isn't my native language, so at that time I could not pronounce "unforgiven" so I only told him "put the one that isn't 2" 2 meaning unforgiven II.

[@DeathSavior]

There is a second and third Unforgiven song as well. You should check out some of their stuff with the orchestra. Song are live but honestly it really is an amazing mix.

[@tylerperry4318]

Every time I hear this song, it just reminds me of growing up with my mom and my grandparents. Even still, they dedicate their lives to (trying to) running all of mine.

[@lasseiversen1815]

Great reaction. You nailed the meaning I think. I hope you will do Unforgiven 2 and 3 soon as well. :)

[@alvaroacuenteco5524]

This is why i love metal there is meaning in all the songs

[@lindasalaki9404]

Great reaction Knox 👏👏👏

[@DigestiveCeremony]

You really nailed it at the end with the religious imagery. James Hetfield's mother was a Christian Scientist. She didn't believe in science or medicine of any kind. And there's a really awful end to that as James' mother came down with cancer when he was a boy. But her beliefs were so strong that she never sought treatment. No chemo or anything. James essentially just watched his mother voluntarily wither away and die. James' upbringing really influenced a lot of his writing. You'll find several song in Metallica's catalog about a childhood gone really terribly.

[@Cid_1]

Need Part 2 & 3 soon also.

[@brinaldi81]

Yes Sir

[@sorenm.lairdsorries7547]

[@tarisedai9573]

Yep you should definitely do all 3 parts. Unforgiven 2 is my favourite

[@therealcarter1353]

Great Reaction Brother 💯

[@Zinetha]

Oh yey, Metal Mondays! A good reason to get up this morning! You have to do Unforgiven II and Unforgiven III at some point, they continue the story of the same character (and finish it). Just a random FYI: Metalheads tend to assign each subgenre The Big Four - four bands that sort of "define" the subgenre, that are the GOATs that other bands take influence from. And, like, if you've heard something from all four, then you have a pretty good grasp on what that subgenre sounds like as a whole. We do debate on who qualifies for each Big Four, though, it's not always clear cut.

[@Proph3cy]

Really hope you’re going to do Unforgiven 2 then Unforgiven 3.

[@mattmorganRnR]

Awesome breakdown bro!!

[@thegamingironman]

you would really like No Leaf Clover by Metallica. its one many dont mention but a masterpiece none the less

[@richardedwards9044]

Your insight is showing there.

[@skeletonmandiecastcollector]

James Hetfield is from Downey California. My uncle and James went to the same high school. James graduated a year before my uncle around 1978 I think from a different high school.

[@vuicivalentin82]

I always say that 80's Rock/Metal has awesome Lyrics, kinda like Rap. I think what Rappers and Metal-heads have in common is an affinity for music that tells a story. Anyway, awesome reaction .... Insta-Sub!

[@krisdailey5086]

Please Please Please do part 2 and 3 of this. You will appreciate it

[@dzizas9534]
